Hi, I’m Vimal Patel, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience in healthcare. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing and have a background in both psychiatric and intensive care nursing. 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.
My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, understood, and supported. I believe mental wellness is an essential part of overall health, and that healing begins by moving from survival to thriving through nervous system regulation, processing past experiences, and strengthening the mind-body connection. Meaningful change and healing happens within a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust, authenticity, and collaboration. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, addiction, performance anxiety, work-related stress... or simply feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, we'll work together to build insight, process difficult experiences when appropriate, develop practical coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Hello! I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management for children (6+), teens, adults, and seniors. Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, ADHD, or bipolar mood swings affect your energy, focus, relationships, and daily life. I believe mental health care should feel supportive, comfortable, and personalized. As a board-certified PMHNP with over five years of experience, I help individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, bipolar disorder, OCD, PTSD, eating disorders, schizophrenia, and other mental health concerns.
I am a seasoned behavioral health and forensic psychology leader with over 20 years of experience in county, correctional, and community settings. I hold a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, two master’s degrees, and I am a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist as of 2019. My work centers on trauma‐informed care, substance use, sexual abuse victims and offenders, crisis intervention, and forensic experiences.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Glendale
Finding OCD therapists in Glendale starts with looking for the right clinical training, not just a general mental health match. Obsessive-compulsive disorder can involve intrusive thoughts, rituals, checking, contamination fears, reassurance seeking, and anxiety. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use to support people living with OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you review therapist profiles, look for ERP, OCD experience, cognitive behavioral therapy, or other listed specialties that match the concerns you want to address.
Glendale has a strong mix of local and virtual therapy options, with access to nearby areas across Los Angeles County as well. If getting to an office near downtown Glendale, Montrose, or neighboring communities fits your schedule, in-person care may be a good match. Virtual appointments can also expand your options when you want a therapist with specific OCD and ERP training. Pay close attention to how a therapist describes OCD in their bio. A therapist who lists OCD as an area of focus may offer a different fit than one who names ERP training, session structure, or experience with specific OCD patterns.
Therapy in Glendale can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, check whether they accept your plan, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront. You can compare fit, availability, and care format in one place, then book directly when you’re ready.
