Shree Patel

Resident in Counseling

Shree is a Resident in Counseling, approved by the Virginia Board of Counseling, and is actively working towards becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). She earned her Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health and Addiction Counseling from The College of William & Mary. Shree has extensive experience supporting teens, college students, and adults as they navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, addiction, stress, low self-esteem, life transitions, academic challenges, relationship concerns, identity development, and intergenerational family trauma.  

With a deep passion for working with 1st and 2nd generation immigrants, BIPOC, and the South Asian community, Shree strives to create a safe, welcoming, and culturally sensitive space for all her clients. She has facilitated group sessions on topics like addressing addiction, building teen self-esteem, and empowering parents to discuss ethnicity and race with their children.   

Shree believes in the power of a strong therapeutic relationship, built on trust, empathy, and a non-judgmental approach. She understands how overwhelming it can feel to take the first step toward healing and personal growth and is dedicated to creating a space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported.   

Her approach to counseling is holistic, recognizing all aspects of a client’s experience rather than focusing solely on presenting concerns. Shree tailors each session to align with her clients’ unique goals and needs, using evidence-based methods such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Mindfulness. 

As a Resident in Counseling, Shree is involved in Virginia’s state licensure process becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC).  She works under the supervision of Reland Finch, LPC, at Healthy Minds Therapy.  For any questions or concerns related to Shree’s work, Reland can be reached at rfinch@healthyminds-therapy.com or by phone at (540) 845-6940.
