(she/her)
Hello, I’m Hiral Patel, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner providing evidence-based psychiatric care for adults ages 18 and older. I specialize in the evaluation and medication management of anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood disorders. My approach is thoughtful, collaborative, and individualized, with an emphasis on accurate diagnosis, clear communication, and shared decision-making. I work closely with patients to develop practical, well-informed treatment plans that support long-term stability and overall mental well-being.
During our first appointment, we’ll review your symptoms, mental health history, and treatment goals. I’ll ask focused questions to gain a clear understanding of your concerns and discuss appropriate next steps. Together, we’ll outline a treatment plan tailored to your needs in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment.
My greatest strength is my patient-centered and collaborative approach to psychiatric care. I take time to listen carefully, explain options clearly, and develop treatment plans that are practical, evidence-based, and aligned with each patient’s goals.
I work with adults 18 and older seeking psychiatric evaluation and medication management for anxiety, depression, ADHD, or mood disorders. I’m well suited for individuals looking for clear guidance, thoughtful care, and a collaborative approach to managing their mental health.
Motivational Interviewing
I use Motivational Interviewing (MI) as a collaborative, patient-centered approach to support engagement in care and treatment adherence. In my practice, I apply MI techniques to build rapport, explore ambivalence, and help patients clarify goals related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, and mood disorders. My approach emphasizes empathy, reflective listening, and supporting patient autonomy to promote thoughtful, informed decision-making.
