Hazel Patel, LCPC

Hello! I am a warm and genuine therapist specializing in trauma, OCD, mood disorders, & borderline personality. Evidenced base trained, I strive to create a healing connection that can be transferred outside of the therapy room into your other relationships. I like to focus our work in 3 areas: relationship to yourself, others, & the world. We will oscillate between your past and present experiences to increase awareness & understanding of how we got here and where we would like to go in the future.

With a dual masters degree in Clinical Psychology and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) I bring a comprehensive approach to therapy. My Clinical Psychology expertise allows me to understand the complexities of human behavior, emotions, and mental health disorders. Additionally, my proficiency in ABA empowers me to utilize scientifically validated principles to bring about positive behavioral changes. With over 9 years of experience I have found success working with adults of all ages and identities.

It is so rewarding to do what I love and watch my clients make changes toward their goals. Finding a therapist can be daunting, so reach out with any questions!

Specialties

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by persistent, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) aimed at reducing anxiety or distress caused by these thoughts. People with OCD often feel driven to perform these rituals or compulsions, even though they may realize they are excessive or irrational. OCD can significantly interfere with daily life, causing distress and impairing functioning in various aspects such as work, relationships, and personal well-being.

Mood Disorders: Anxiety & Depression

Anxiety is a normal and adaptive response to stress or perceived threats, characterized by feelings of worry, fear, or unease. It's a natural reaction to challenging situations, but when excessive or persistent, it can become a mental health disorder.

Depression is a mental health disorder marked by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a lack of interest or pleasure in activities. It can affect thoughts, emotions, and physical well-being, leading to disruptions in daily life.

Trauma

Trauma refers to an emotional response to a distressing event, such as violence, abuse, accidents, or natural disasters. It overwhelms a person's ability to cope, causing feelings of fear, helplessness, or horror. Trauma can have lasting effects on mental health, triggering symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety, or avoidance of reminders of the event. It can disrupt daily life, relationships, and overall well-being, sometimes leading to conditions like Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

Borderline Personality

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is a mental health condition characterized by pervasive instability in mood, self-image, and interpersonal relationships. Individuals with BPD often experience intense emotional episodes, struggle with self-worth, and have difficulties regulating their emotions. This disorder may lead to impulsive behavior, fear of abandonment, and a distorted sense of identity. Therapy, particularly dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), is commonly used for managing symptoms and improving coping mechanisms.

FAQS

Do you take insurance?

Yes. We do accept the following insurances: United healthcare, Anthem BCBS, Cigna, Aetna, Ocsar Health, BCBS of Massachusetts, Horizon BCBS of New Jersey, and self pay options. I provide information about copays/deductibles/coinsurance prior to beginning sessions.

What is your session format?

All sessions are virtual so we can meet from the comfort of your home! We am currently only able to meet with clients who are located in Colorado, Illinois and New York. Therapy yields the most consistent results when started on a weekly or biweekly basis.

Is therapy forever?

Therapy is a tool to help you access more tools within yourself. Every therapeutic journey is different. We always tell clients that my goal is to provide support for as long as you need, and you may end up finding value in a longer-term relationship.

What type of modalities will be used in session?

We are evidence based therapist. We rely on scientific research and clinical evidence to inform client's treatment decisions, ensuring that the interventions have demonstrated positive outcomes in addressing specific mental health concerns. Examples are: Cognitive Behavioral therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior therapy (DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT), Trauma Focused- CBT, Solution Focused and Attachment theories.
