MEET DR. VIKAS PATEL
Dr. Vikas Patel provides a bespoke care plan for each client. His goal is to help clients target behaviors that no longer serve them and restore a foundational skill set so they can better manage everyday issues. He has a special interest in supporting people of color and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
Dr. Patel specializes in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) for individuals and group skills classes. He enjoys teaching these skills because they are evidenced-based interventions to manage emotions and interpersonal issues and because he views DBT as a lifestyle therapy. Dr. Patel also offers Radically Open DBT (RO DBT) to empower individuals to address excessive self-control or over-control and find a better balance.

In his spare time, Dr. Patel loves to go for long nature walks, ride horses, relax, and enjoy his favorite food: pizza.
