Anisha Patel, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there, I'm Anisha! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from California State University Long Beach. As a therapist for nearly 20 years, I have worked with individuals to heal from various traumatic experiences. I strive to create an empowering space for all the adults and teens I work with, tailoring therapy approaches to meet each person’s specific needs. **My approach** I provide an eclectic therapy approach that includes CBT, ACT, and EFT Tapping. I am also a certified EMDR therapist. **My focus** I offer online individual trauma therapy to teens and adults. Examples of trauma I help clients heal from include childhood and/or adult abuse, death of a loved one, witnessing violence, intergenerational trauma, natural disasters, combat, discrimination, and life transitions. **My communication style** I provide a safe space grounded in empathy, open-mindedness, empowerment, and affirmation. I offer feedback to help you build resilience and improve your quality of life. **My journey to mental healthcare** My journey to becoming a therapist began in high school when I took a psychology class. I was intrigued by connecting with and helping others through empathy and understanding. Early in my education and career, I realized many people experience different types of trauma at varying degrees. This led me to specialize in trauma therapy, which often triggers depression, anxiety, and grief. What drives me is the belief that together, we will move forward on your healing journey with you as the driver. **My goals for you** I will collaborate with you to develop goals aimed at reducing symptoms and overcoming trauma. **My first session with you** Taking this first step of looking for a therapist shows you’re on the path to healing from trauma. Therapy is not always comfortable or easy. Even if you have been in therapy before, starting with someone new can feel overwhelming.
