Hi! I'm Femina Patel, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I believe that the best way to empower individuals is through counseling. I specialize in providing counseling services to individuals and families. My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. I have much experience in helping individuals improve their mental health. I have worked within many community mental health agency settings and am familiar with clients that have a range of diagnoses from anxiety/depression to SPMI(Serious and persistent mental illness). I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment for my clients to share their thoughts and feelings so they can discover their strengths and learn the skills necessary to overcome their challenges. With my help, you can achieve the mental and emotional well-being you need to reach your goals and lead a happy and fulfilling life. ***If you are seeking services for a minor a consultation with me is required to move forward with an intake appointment.***
Generally in session, you can expect to experience mindfulness, increased self awareness, and practical solution-focused discussion – with a touch of humor. I can help you to find meaning even during the most challenging times. You will find conversation is comfortable and easy. On Day 1 we will: 1) Discuss your goals for seeking counseling. 2) Gather a brief history of your current situation. 3) Create an individual treatment plan.
My treatment approach is based upon what each individual client needs and is influenced by: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy(CBT) Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Existentialism Family Systems Gestalt Humanistic Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Motivational Interviewing Narrative Person-Centered Play Therapy Positive Psychology Solution Focused Brief Therapy Strength-Based Trauma-Focused CBT
I enjoy working with clients of all ages from various backgrounds. However, I have specialized training in working with teens, families, adults. I have worked within many community mental health agency settings and am familiar with the school system, IEPs, 504 plans, and resources for alternatives within the community. I am also certified in Adoptions Competency and love working with families facing post-adoption challenges.
I enjoy working with clients of all ages from various backgrounds. I currently work with individuals, families, teens and adults. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality.

I've been going to Femina for a while now, and she's been such a blessing. She's very kind, thoughtful, insightful, and pushes me to reflect without forcing anything. She's made therapy a great experience and I've learned a lot about myself through our sessions. I'd highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist, she's the best!

I've been navigating some challenging times and needed someone who could truly listen and offer encouragement. At the same time, I was looking for guidance on how to tackle my issues step by step. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found a great match in Femina. Her sense of humor, empowering spirit, and open-minded approach have been exactly what I've needed. Thank you!
