“Heena joined our call at the session time, which is not something I was used to with previous providers. She has great bedside manner and made me feel both heard and understood. She took the time to get background information and followed up promptly via email when I reached out in between sessions about a medication concern. I absolutely recommend working with her! ”

Getting to know Heena Patel

Hello there! I was formerly a neurological ICU nurse for 7 years before practicing as a psychiatric APN for the past 8 years. I earned my Master's in Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing from Villanova University. I chose psychiatry as my "forever career" because I am fascinated by the power of the human mind and psyche, and because mental health is often underserved, unseen, stigmatized, yet so vital to every person's well-being. While I don't believe in a "happy pill," I do believe psychiatric medications can truly help individuals when necessary. I am passionate about taking an individualized approach to treating my patients and helping them achieve the best quality of life possible.
