Nisha Patel

Therapist

Virtual • Illinois


I’m Nisha, a relational, trauma-informed therapist and founder of Inner Work Psychotherapy.

I work with adults navigating unhealthy or challenging relationships. Many of my clients are exploring the impact of growing up in dysfunctional family systems while working through difficult family dynamics, attachment concerns, and challenges with understanding and regulating their emotions across various areas of life.

I believe everyone has the capacity to create new patterns that support the life they want to live. My mission is to help people understand themselves more deeply, break cycles that no longer serve them, and build healthier relationships with themselves and others.

Together, we’ll work toward helping you live a more intentional, values-driven life.

I see clients ages 18–50 for individual therapy and provide group therapy as well.

Psychologist

Virtual • Illinois


I'm a licensed psychologist and consider myself a generalist with a wide variety of clinical interests including issues related to family of origin, self esteem, identity development, depression, anxiety, stress, and interpersonal relationships.

Attending to mental health can have such a profound effect on quality of life and ability to function! Yet, it can seem so vulnerable and scary to make that first appointment, even if we know it will help. Great job leaning into that discomfort, prioritizing your needs, and pushing toward growth!

Therapist

Virtual • Plainfield, IL


I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Benedictine University. I have been working in private practice for over 10 years, helping adolescents and adults navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful, lasting change.

My areas of specialization include trauma and couples counseling, and I have a particular passion for working with women. I understand that women often carry many different roles and responsibilities, and sometimes lose sight of their own needs in the process. I enjoy helping women work through anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the many unexpected circumstances that can leave us feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

I'm a psychiatric nurse practitioner with several years of experience, now building my own private practice so I can give each person the focused, personalized care they deserve. I work with people navigating anxiety, depression, and PTSD — conditions that can feel isolating, but often respond well to the right support and the right provider. I offer telehealth appointments, including evenings and weekends, so getting care fits into your life rather than the other way around. Whether you're looking for medication management, ongoing mental health support, or simply a place to start, I'm here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
