Getting to know Rucha Patel

IMPORTANT: Thriveworks cannot provide services to clients with Medicaid coverage. If you have Medicaid, please contact your plan directly to find an in-network provider. For all other insurance plans, Thriveworks will verify your benefits after you book through Zocdoc. If verification isn't completed before your visit, you'll be charged our self-pay rate of $200 for that session. AFTER YOU BOOK: Complete these steps to avoid cancellation or being switched to self-pay. 1. Check your email for instructions to set up your Thriveworks account. Within your Thriveworks’ account, sign consent forms and add a valid credit card, which will be automatically charged for copays, fees, post-insurance balances, and self-pay amounts. 2. If using insurance, upload clear photos of the front and back of your insurance card. 3. Expect a confirmation call from our team to verify your information and answer questions. CANCELLATION POLICY: Provide 48 hours advance notice to avoid the $135 late cancellation fee. Rucha Patel is a LCSW with over 4 years of experience and a background in trauma-informed care, somatic processing, and mindfulness skills. She empowers clients to process trauma, build self-awareness, improve social skills, and set goals for personal growth and emotional stability. Rucha earned a Master's in Social Work from the University of Illinois. She specializes in trauma-informed care, eye movement desensitization reprocessing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused therapy, helping clients process stressors, strengthen somatic grounding, explore the mind-body connection, and connect with supportive networks. Rucha honors the idea that healing has no set timeline and supports growth at your own pace. Using a trauma-informed, body-centered approach, she helps clients rediscover safety, connection, and hope.
