Life is full of ups and downs but the true test in life is how you overcome those obstacles. My name is Riddhi Sevak-Patel and I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist. Welcome to my page, I hope that this allows you to get to know me a little better! I received my MSW back in 2010 from the University of Alabama after completing the advanced standing program specializing in Children, Adolescents and their families and graduating with honors. I have worked in all aspects of healthcare ranging from acute inpatient ICU care to out-patient rehabilitation working with children and adults alike. Outside of Better Help, I have my own virtual private practice where I work with both teenagers and adults who struggle with depression, suicidal thoughts, grief, trauma and substance abuse, to name a few. As a working mother of three, I understand the struggles faced with the "mommy burden" and can empathize towards those dealing with the anxiety that comes from "doing it all." You are not alone. My approach to therapy is mostly a humanistic approach mixed with CBT and DBT. People are a lot more resilient than they sometimes realize and I believe that we all have the ability to "find ourselves" even in the most severe circumstances. My goal is to help you realize your strengths and help you process your feeling so that you can move onto becoming a better you.

Awareness. It is often what is missing when you are feeling overwhelmed, out of control, or trapped by negative patterns in your life. I will work with you to help you grow your awareness, to understand the factors within yourself, others, and the world around you that are contributing to your unhelpful thoughts, feelings, and actions. By collaborating together to reveal these hidden factors, we will bring processes and tools into sessions that are useful for helping you to set goals that move you toward greater balance in your life. In addition to my MS in Counseling from the University of North Texas, my earlier education obtaining my BA in Social Sciences from UNT strongly influenced my cultural and community focused approach with clients. I identify as an ally for communities who can sometimes have difficulty finding safe, non-judgmental therapeutic resources, such as those with concerns with LGBTQIA identity, sexual health, and alternative or ethical non-monogamous relationships. As someone who has learned to achieve while living with ADHD, and who has long been a social ally against oppression, I can appreciate what it is to struggle in situations that seem stacked against you. In every relationship I strive to be a resource to the voiceless, the misunderstood, and anyone who might hesitate to get help out of fear of judgement. Additional specialized skills I can bring into sessions when appropriate include meditation, dream analysis, creative art, transpersonal analysis, socratic dialogue, and positive habit reinforcement.

I believe that my role is to create a safe and trusting environment where we can collaboratively explore life’s challenges, and achieve your personal goals. I do this by providing counseling that’s nonjudgmental and welcoming. Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or burdened? We all do sometimes! Come as you are, and be met compassionately where you are. I'm here to help with the heavy stuff, but also believe in the power of self-discovery and mental health maintenance. I'm committed to help you change unhelpful beliefs, build new skills, nurture your self-awareness, and process through anything keeping you from your desired well-being. I am a licensed therapist (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) in the state of Texas. I am trained and experienced in treatment modalities such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. I earned a master’s degree in social work, clinical mental health from the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities. I have experience working with diverse populations in nonprofit, children’s advocacy center, primary care, private practice, and intensive outpatient mental health treatment settings.

I specialize in depression, anxiety, life changes/transitions, identity and self-image, self-esteem, stress management, young adult issues, trauma (sexual, verbal, physical, emotional), and PTSD. I also have experience in guilt and shame, grief and loss, and domestic violence recovery. I am available to you on weekdays (Monday to Friday) from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. I believe that the client is the expert in their own life -each person has the capacity to choose what is best for them, and to determine the level of influence that challenges have in their life. I'm here to be an empathetic ear, a calm and secure presence, an alternative perspective, and an open mind. Let’s discover your ideal life and optimal wellness together. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

I am a counselor licensed in Louisiana and Texas with over 20 years of experience working with individuals who present with a wide variety of challenges. In particular, I have specialized experience working with substance abuse, family violence, abuse, trauma, anger, and veteran’s issues. I have also worked with numerous police officers and police families. I have worked with people who also find themselves lost and/or at a standstill in life; in particular, those who are searching for meaning in their existence. My approach to counseling goes from being person-centered (while means using quite a bit of reflective listening) to more directive feedback, depending on what the individual requests. I do work that includes delving into the subconscious as well as typical cognitive-behavioral work. First and foremost, I will tailor my approach to your requested desires and needs. My primary objective is to help people obtain the total quality life that they seek in a manner that provides specific and concrete feedback and options. It is my ethical duty to remain nonjudgmental and to make my client’s welfare my paramount concern. If it seems like this information has the potential to be helpful, the please do feel free to contact me. I look forward to working together in the future.

“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade” is a metaphor used to encourage optimism and a positive can-do attitude in the face of adversity. Lemons represent adversity or difficulty in life and making lemonade is turning those difficulties into something sweet or positive. It is estimated that 1 in 4 people will experience a mental health disorder at one point in their lives. Consequently, nearly two-thirds of those people living with a mental disorder never seek help from a health professional. Reaching out for help, demonstrates strength and courage and a willingness to persevere!
