Dr. Hiral Patel, PsyD

You deserve care that sees you — not just your symptoms, but your story, your identities, and the contexts that have shaped your experience.

I am a licensed psychologist specializing in trauma and nervous system regulation, with training in the following:

EMDR-Trained (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

• Supports the brain in reprocessing distressing memories

• Reduces the intensity of past experiences and shifts negative self-beliefs

Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR)

• Gentle, body-based method targeting early trauma responses in the brainstem

• Resolves unresolved shock without requiring verbal narrative

Clinical Hypnotherapy

• Accesses subconscious patterns and beliefs

• Supports transformation around anxiety, self-esteem, and behavioral change

Psychedelic Somatic Interactional Psychotherapy (PSIP)

• Focuses on releasing trauma held in the nervous system

• Uses somatic and interactional methods informed by psychedelic therapy principles (without requiring substances)drawing from current neuroscience and body-based therapeutic models. My work is grounded in cultural humility, anti-oppressive practice, and an understanding of how trauma can intersect with race, identity, gender, sexuality, and systemic stress.

I work with individuals from diverse, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ communities, as well as anyone seeking therapy that is affirming, collaborative, and deeply respectful of their lived experience.

Together, we create a space where you don’t have to explain or minimize who you are — and where healing can happen at your pace.
