Getting to know Jinal Mehta

Hi. I'm Jinal Mehta, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist board-certified in the state of New York. I hold a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Long Island University, Brooklyn, and a Master's in Counseling Psychology from SNDT Women's University. I also earned my Bachelor's degree from Maharaja Sayajirao University of Baroda. More specifically, I am someone who sparks change in people's lives and relationships. I help individuals and couples who want to feel satisfied in their connection with their partner but feel like no matter what they do, it just leads to stress and frustration. I support them in exploring their history and uncovering patterns they may not even be aware of so that they can begin to have more control of their emotions and be excited about their relationship again. I know from my years of experience working with individuals and couples with relationship issues that you have the ability to make big changes in your life. If you are ready to do the work, you will be amazed at how capable you are to explore parts of yourself you never knew existed. The process of therapy can allow you to grow more quickly than you ever have before. I believe that each one of us can be fulfilled in our lives. PLEASE NOTE , IN ORDER TO BE SEEN AS COUPLE THE COUPLE NEED TO BE IN EACH OTHER INSURANCE PLAN .

What should a new client know about working with you?

I work with individuals and couples on enhancing relationships with one's self and with others. I create a warm and collaborative environment in order to foster insight and awareness about your areas of concern and to create desired change. I specialize in relationship concerns including: creating and maintaining satisfying interpersonal relationships, coping with feelings that arise as a result of the ending of relationship; Parenting struggles and healing from divorce. I also focus on developing improved communication and assertiveness skills to help achieve a greater sense of connection and intimacy in your existing and future relationships. The most important relationship is with yourself. An unhealthy relationship with yourself can manifest as depression, anxiety, lack of impulse control, self-loathing, unhealthy relationship with food, poor body image and eating disorders. When suffering from any of these issues it is difficult to feel satisfied in our relationships. I will work with you to help alleviate the pain that arises from such issues in order to develop new and healthy ways of relating to yourself and others.

    bad listener, poor communicators and judgemental
    Verified patientVideo visit
    My husband and I started seeing Jinal at a time when we were feeling disconnected and struggling to communicate. From our very first session, she made us feel safe, supported, and understood. Her warmth, professionalism, and genuine care made it easy to open up and do the work together. She helped us identify the patterns that were holding us back and guided us toward healthier, more respectful ways of communicating. Her ability to listen without judgment, ask the right questions, and offer practical tools made a huge difference in our relationship. Thanks to her, we’ve grown so much—both as individuals and as a couple. We’ve rediscovered our connection, improved our communication, and feel stronger and more united than ever. We’re incredibly grateful for everything she’s done for us. If you’re looking for a compassionate, skilled, and insightful therapist, we wholeheartedly recommend her.
    It was really good! Jinal had made me realize how my experiences in the past have affected my self-talk and feelings of myself. She has helped me realize I have to set boundaries in my relationships and that it’s okay to take care of myself.
    I came to this therapist seeking support after infidelity in my relationship and left feeling judged, dismissed, and publicly humiliated. In only our second session, she made a comment that directly undermined my dignity, suggesting I was "depreciating in value" and questioning why my partner wouldn't be with someone younger. Instead of helping us process difficult dynamics, she made moral judgments about our relationship structure, mischaracterized my sacrifices, and failed to maintain a neutral, respectful space. When I later raised my concerns, I received a vague, non-accountable response. This experience was not just unhelpful-it was harmful. I do not recommend her to anyone in a nontraditional or high-stakes relationship dynamic.

It’s a constant journey but we are glad we get to work with Jinal.

    Jinal is an excellent counselor. She listens intently and offers insightful advice. Her ability to remain objective is exemplary. I highly recommend her.
    Within a short time Jinal and I were able to change my self esteem and building boundaries. I was a people pleaser now I realize I can say no, do for myself and not feel guilty.
    I had the pleasure of working with Jinal Mehta as my psychotherapist and I can confidently say that she has helped me immensely in gaining a better understanding of myself and overcoming my personal struggles. From our very first session, she made me feel comfortable and supported, and I appreciated her non-judgmental and empathetic approach. Throughout our sessions, Jinal was always attentive and truly listened to my concerns. She provided me with valuable insights and tools that have helped me manage my anxiety and improve my overall mental well-being. I felt that she tailored her approach to meet my specific needs and goals, which was incredibly beneficial for me. Overall, I would highly recommend Jinal Mehta to anyone seeking a skilled and compassionate psychotherapist. She has a genuine passion for helping others and I am grateful for the positive impact she has had on my life. Thank you for everything, Jinal.
    I found Jinal while going through some extreme life changes. Since our first meeting to now over a year, I have been so grateful for her insights, advice and compassion. Jinal listens, support and provides guidance every step of the therapy journey. Thanks to her, I truly feel the highest level of mental health that I've felt in years. Highly recommend her to anyone going through a hard time.
    Jinal is great! She always makes sure to ask me if there is anything else I want to talk about at the end of each session and makes me feel listen to. She is so kind and helpful at working through things and giving insight on looking at things differently than how you see them. I feel she is helping me with mechanisms and ways to deal with things that I otherwise struggle with on my own.
    I love working with Jinal. This is the 3rd therapist I’ve worked with and the first time I’ve seen a substantial difference. Everyone in my life has mentioned how much my anxiety has decreased and how much happier I seem since I’ve been working with Jinal. It’s been almost a year and she’s seen me go through so much & a few challenges and has always been there. She’s also always looking for new things for me to work on and is so great at remembering little details.
    I am 17 years old and have been working with Jinal for almost a year now. For years I was scared to reach out to my parents and admit that I needed help, but once I hit a low point it became necessary. I remember my first session with Jinal and the exact feeling I had in my stomach prior to joining the zoom session. I was nervous and unsure how to open up to someone that was a "stranger". For the first few sessions I could hardly articulate my feelings because the concept of voicing them was so new. However, Jinal always made me feel safe and respected. I started to become comfortable with expressing my more profound thoughts (ones I had never shared with anyone before), and this is when I saw improvement. Before, I suffered from extreme anxiety and found myself struggling to complete everyday tasks because of it. These past months have not been easy, but having a chance to let my thoughts out every week, receive feedback, and confide in someone has helped immensely. My overall quality of life has definitely improved, and I am so proud to say that I have overcome things I didn't believe I was capable of.
    Beyond grateful to have found Jinal. She is genuine and we truly feel sincerity through each and every session. Jinal patiently helps you better express yourself through friendly guidance and reflection. We continue to use her in couple's therapy and we highly recommend her.
    Excellent Therapist; I feel understood, validated and listened to in my sessions. Jinal is very respectful, kind and always guides me in the right direction, I’ve never had a therapist who has helped me as much as she has, I look forward to my time speaking with her.
    Jinal listens to your problems and helps you come up with solutions that address the specific issues one at a time. She is positive throughout the process and helps you achieve your goals in therapy.
    It’s taken my husband and I awhile to agree on starting couples therapy. So far Jinal has been extremely helpful in providing ground rules and a bipartisan opinion regarding our most delicate and intimate issues. She also provides guidance and “homework” assignments that help us navigate and communicate better in between sessions. I highly recommend her-especially with the virtual session service so my husband and I can join from our different office locations.

    Wonderful experience! Jinal is professional, straightforward and easy to talk to. This was my first time working with a therapist and Jinal's demeanor immediately put me at ease. She provided me the necessary tools/skills that have helped me manage my issues. Highly recommend!
    Jinal is very personable and professional. Her ability to fully listen and absorb all that she is being told is truly a gift. The sessions I have had usually end with specific actions for me to do/apply to my situation to help yield better results. I enjoy my sessions and I am very happy with my progress mentally and emotionally.
