When I was a kid, I often got in trouble for being too loud with asking questions and calling adults out on things that didn’t seem fair to me. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been an advocate of some kind. A career in social work, then, made total sense to me when I discovered the field as an undergraduate at San Jose State.
Two more degrees and a license later, I still carry the spirit of that little girl, fighting for the underserved. I have a long history of diagnosing and treating adults with severe and chronic mental illness. I take my work very seriously and it’s important to me to help my clients heal, grow, and thrive.
My clients seek my services as a way to recuperate from lifetimes of overworking themselves into worthiness. I guide them toward unlearning the things that taught them they weren’t enough. I give them the tools they need to create wellness and wholeness in a way that’s unique to who they are.
Through my private practice and my brand, Therapy is a Lifestyle, I want to help you see yourself in new ways - without the lens of your trauma. I specialize in anxiety disorders, EMDR, and other trauma-informed approaches to help you do that.
Let’s take the journey toward your recovery, together. Being here is your first step!
When working with clients, I strive to make the therapy experience respectful and genuine. Everyone's journey to personal resilience is unique and there is no one size fits all solution. My approach is flexible and client centered. I often explore childhood attachment issues which can assist the client in achieving sustained emotional growth.
I’m a California Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) and have a certification in perinatal mental health (PMH-C). Before I was a therapist, I worked as a preschool teacher. I was drawn to clinical work because of the struggles that I observed in the families of the children in my classrooms. During my clinical training, I worked primarily with couples, teens, and adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse. Though I love working with children, I am passionate about my work with adults because healthy, supported, and self-compassionate adults are the key to health for future generations.
I'm a multicultural first generation female. I enjoy having the privilege to work with a variety of people in an effort to improve lives.
If you are navigating the quiet weight of relationship wounds, identity
questions, or emotional patterns that have followed you for years without
fully understanding why, I specialize in exactly this kind of work. I am a
Latina therapist who provides services in Spanish and English, bringing a
culturally affirming lens to every session. I practice in Santa Clarita with
specialized tools including Brainspotting and IFS for deeper healing.
My work centers queer and transgender preteens, teens, and adults, as well as individuals with current or past foster care involvement. My clients may be feeling overwhelmed, questioning their identity, or don't know where to start with therapy. I can support you by helping you notice patterns and build trust in your own process.
I am a board certified, doctoral prepared PMHNP. I completed my post graduate at National University in Adult, Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. I earned my DNP from Azusa Pacific University and graduated from CSUSB MSN program. I have been a faculty at CSUSB since 2014. Extensively trained and a certified Trauma-Informed specialist. I diagnose and treat mental disorders including medication-assisted treatment along with counseling for chemical dependency and substance use disorders.
Hi, I’m Vimal Patel, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience in healthcare.

I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, and other mood disorders using a combination of medication management and supportive therapy. My approach is compassionate, culturally sensitive, and centered around your unique needs and goals. I'm here to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered on your mental health journey.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Burbank
Finding therapists in Burbank starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or work stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties and training match what you want to address. Bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.
Burbank has therapy options across areas like Downtown, the Media District, and Olive Avenue, though local appointment supply may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your options if nearby in-person times are limited or if a commute does not fit your week. As you narrow your search, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work for you, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist structures sessions and communicates about care.
Therapy in Burbank can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who are accepting new patients, filter by preferences, check your insurance, and see estimated costs before booking. From there, you can review bios, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
