About

Rita Patel, LCSW, SEP, RPT

I specialize in providing a holistic and integrated approach to concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress management, self-esteem, trauma, grief and loss, parenting, and relationship concerns.

I am trained in mindfulness-based approaches, somatic psychotherapy (Hakomi and Somatic Experiencing), play therapy, yoga, energy psychology, sandtray and art, as well as traditional cognitive behavioral therapy (including dialectical behavior therapy and exposure therapy). I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and adults.

With children, I use play therapy, sandtray, somatic experiencing and art to explore concerns such as:

Anxiety
Grief
Family transitions
Behavior issues
Bullying
Self-esteem
Trauma

Through these gentle and creative methods, children are able to explore emotions, discover their strengths, and build coping skills.My work with adolescents and adults focuses on:

Finding balance
Strengthening resiliency
Discovering adaptive coping skills
Building self-esteem
Healing from trauma
Discovering solutions for everyday challenges

I continue to receive the latest training and skills. Presently, I am in the process of being trained in Somatic Resilience and Regulation, a method used for trauma healing.

In addition to my private practice, I have provided services to the non-profit sector for the past two decades.
