Getting to know Manisha Patel

Hi there, I'm Manisha! Hello! My name is Manisha Patel, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California. I earned my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Chapman University. I provide therapeutic services for adolescents, adults, and families, specializing in depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, and relationships. My approach My approach to treatment is to meet my clients where they are and identify what is needed to begin feeling better. While I am trained in various modalities, I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help my clients improve their functioning and empower them to make choices that create joy. I am trained in multiple evidence-based practices and collaborate with my clients to determine the best approach for their unique needs. My focus I work with clients who feel stuck and need support to make changes so they can feel better and take control of their situation. Together, we identify and implement skills that positively impact their lives. As a positive person, I help clients see different perspectives, discover their authentic selves, and strive toward goals that align with their values. My communication style I communicate in a warm, honest, and supportive way, providing validation and empathy while also being direct and challenging my clients' thinking and goals in treatment. I listen without judgment and create a safe space for open sharing. I explore various aspects of clients' lives to address the whole person-mind, body, and soul. My aim is to help clients live their best life, one step at a time. My journey to mental healthcare My journey as a therapist has always involved working with diverse populations and helping in meaningful ways. I am naturally drawn to others and thrive in these interactions because I am genuinely concerned for their well-being.
