Getting to know Rupal Patel
I am a skilled and compassionate psychotherapist who works with adolescents and adults of all ages in individual psychotherapy, both in person and online. I support people experiencing anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma; work, family, and relationship conflicts; as well as issues related to immigration, acculturation, and identity—particularly those of individuals marginalized by society, including those with BIPOC, religious minority, and LGBTQIA+ identities.
I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Fordham University at Lincoln Center. I aim to listen closely to your concerns so that we can agree on the most appropriate treatment plan. I will collaborate with you and welcome your feedback as part of tailoring our work to your needs and negotiating essential aspects of our relationship to keep us on the same page. This approach allows you to feel the full power of my support and caring and helps us navigate and understand the rough patches that can arise in any work involving intimacy, vulnerability, and risk-taking—which I invite and embrace.
What should a new client know about working with you?
As a new client, you should know that I bring a wealth of experience and specialized training to our work together. I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations, including immigrants, asylum-seekers, and members of the LGBTQIA community. My approach is tailored to each client's unique needs, incorporating a variety of evidence-based modalities. These may include Interpersonal Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Somatic Experiencing (SE), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, Harm Reduction, and other behavioral and relational interventions. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and effective therapeutic environment to help you navigate your challenges and achieve your goals.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I aim to be collaborative, straightforward, and down-to-earth in our work together. Your guidance will shape how we use our time and space together.

In-network insurances
Rupal Patel, LMSW has 200+ in-network plans.
Don’t see your insurance?
It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more
Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Ongoing session: $160-350 for 53 minutes
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
- Charges post-reimbursement amount: This provider will only charge you for the amount you pay after you get reimbursed from your insurance plan, so you don’t need to pay the session fee upfront
More information on payments and coverage
Bryant West Psychology works with most insurance plans (whether in-network or out-of-network) to make the financials easy, hassle-free, and paper-work-free for you. We can bill your insurance for you, and you can pay us any deductible and co-pays by credit card or through Zelle, as well as the old-fashioned ways, such as check or cash.
In-Network: Our clinicians are providers in the following networks: Aetna and its affiliated insurances (Allied Benefit Systems - Aetna, Christian Brothers Services - Aetna, Health Scope - Aetna, Meritain, Nippon, Trustmark ) and student health insurance at NYU, Columbia, New School, Fordham, FIT, and Pratt. In-network, your insurance company sets our fees, co-pays, and deductibles, making our service more affordable. We will discuss this with you.
Out-of-Network: We bill all insurance companies, such as United Health Care, Oxford, Cigna, Blue Cross/Shield, and Beacon (to name a few). Depending on your plan, your insurance may pay up to 80% of our fee (and sometimes more). We will do our best to work with you to make payment arrangements that won't break the bank—that is, your bank.
