About Jenny
Hi, I’m Jenny Patel and I am here to help you feel empowered to fulfill your aspirations in life and make positive changes. I provide my clients with a safe place and different ways to approach any problem. My goal is for my clients to have a space where they are able to fully express their feelings, emotions,
thoughts, problems, and struggles.
My approach to counseling is through compassion, transparency, and non-judgmental feedback by creating a safe environment for everyone. I work to help clients identify their goals and overcome difficulties. My aim is to unearth clients’ hidden potential under the cloud of anxiety, depression, apathy, negative thoughts, or insecurities. Through various therapeutic approaches my hope is to bring awareness to the internal struggle anyone feels and help them flourish.
