Priyanka Patel Padhiar, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Priyanka!

I believe everyone should have a safe space to share their feelings. My therapy room is exactly where you can find this.

My focus

I have worked with various populations and age groups including adults, adolescents, and children. I have helped people with various diagnoses, but mostly with anxiety and depression.

My approach

I work from a solution-focused lens so that I can support and empower my clients to find solutions and foster a sense of competence and self-efficacy.

My communication style

My communication style is gentle yet clear, allowing me to convey the message in a way that is both direct and considerate. I prioritize creating a safe space for others, ensuring they feel heard and respected, which fosters openness and trust.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting by collaborating with clients to identify their personal values, strengths, and challenges. Together, we develop realistic, measurable goals that align with their individual needs and aspirations. I ensure the process is flexible, allowing for adjustments as progress is made.

Our first session

During the first session, I like to gather information about my clients. I begin building rapport with them by asking open-ended questions. I answer all questions they may have and discuss treatment, treatment goals, and a reasonable time for treatment.
