Getting to know Rima Patel

The provider is a “Licensed Professional Counselor" and their license number is 37PC00409600. Hi! I’ve been practicing for a little over 20 years, and I've worked with an array of clients. Through the last 20 years, I've learned that you are the expert on your own life—sometimes you just need a specialized partner to help you sharpen your existing tools. I have shifted my main focus to working with young adults (18+ to 30's). I am a solution focused therapist and my approach is direct, future-focused, and unapologetically practical. We won't spend years digging into the past; instead, we’ll identify the strengths you already have and build a clear path toward the life you want right now. If you’re looking for a safe space to get real work done without the clinical fluff, let's talk.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My style and approach to therapy is that of any relationship I foster in my life. It's based on mutual respect, honesty, sincerity and humor. I believe in authenticity over authority.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Our first few sessions will be less about "fixing" problems and more about getting to know who you are and what makes you tick. It'll explore your expectations from therapy and if I'd be a good fit to get you where you want to go! While you may feel nervous, I hope to set a pace that feels manageable and comfortable for you. Your time is valuable. I will always make sure it's spent wisely!
