About me
Life is full of ups and downs but the true test in life is how you overcome those obstacles.
My name is Riddhi Sevak-Patel and I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist. Welcome to my page! I hope that this allows you to get to know me a little better.
I received my MSW back in 2010 from the University of Alabama after completing the advanced standing program specializing in Children, Adolescents and their families. I have worked in all aspects of healthcare ranging from acute inpatient ICU care to out-patient rehabilitation working with children ages 9-17 and adults alike. Outside of Better Help, I have my own private practice where I work with both teenagers and adults who struggle with depression, suicidal thoughts, grief, trauma and substance abuse, to name a few.
My approach to therapy is mostly a humanistic-solution focused approach mixed with CBT and DBT. People are a lot more resilient than they sometimes realize and I believe that we all have the ability to "find ourselves" even in the most severe circumstances. My goal is to help you realize your strengths and help you process your feeling so that you can move onto becoming a better you.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Riddhi Sevak-Patel. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
I have immensely benefited from therapy
She is amazing and really pays attention to you. I understand myself much better now after several years of breakthroughs.
Riddhi is a life saver. My stepping stone. My guardian angel.
Things have been going very well and I am very appreciative of all the help, advice, and availability. Thank you.
I truly enjoy all my sessions with Riddhi. I am always blown away from how attentive she is. Even when I am unable to reply she still checks on me. That really means a lot.
My favorite!!
Riddhi, Is a wonderful and very compassionate therapist. What I love most about her is that she is very on top of things, she always has a speedy response when trying to make an appointment or seek advice. She is very thorough with her counseling.
She communicates well and is amazing.
There is no words to describe what Riddhi has done for me. I thank her for being with me and the most difficult part of my life.
Riddhi is kind, considerate, and insightful. She challenges me to look at things in different ways, which helps me to work through my challenges.
Riddhi is very knowledgeable and has helped me tremendously navigating various areas of my life. She is always responsive in a timely manner.
Riddhi is an excellent listener and explains things regarding all the things I am going thru. I am embarrassed when I express things but it is quickly resolved whenever I message her
She’s wonderful. She is the only therapist who listens actively enough to not only understand what I need and want, but how to communicate and respond using language and tone that help me. She’s not afraid to be candid and honest, and I appreciate her candor so deeply.
Riddhi is a profound expert. She works with my teenage daughter who has ASD and I see how her mood changes immediately right after the session.
Riddhi is a very attentive, compassionate and highly professional therapist that I can highly recommend.
She’s amazing really hold you accountable while being empathetic
This woman has gotten me through the trenches and I could not be more thankful to have her as a part of my life.
Riddhi is a great therapist. She’s very personable and knowledgeable. What I appreciated the most was how she would check up with me to see how I’m doing and to leave a few words for me to reflect upon. I honestly wasn’t expecting her to do that. I was genuinely comforting.
Riddhi is absolutely amazing! She's made an incredible difference in my life in helping me get closer to my goals. She is always supporting me through the hard times and I'm incredibly thankful to have her as my therapist.
Amazing. A good mix of professionalism and kindness.
She is amazing!!!
Riddhi is a kind hearted and genuine person. She has a presence that is welcoming and safe. I feel naturally comfortable with her, the constructive criticism and feedback she provides is truly to help her clients for their own well being. I was extremely nervous about getting therapy because I was worried all my flaws would be used against me, but with Riddhi, she helps me recognize my flaws but not in a way that makes me feel belittled or embarrassed. Her methods are honest and effective, and I feel she truly understands her clients needs.
Riddhi Sevak-Patel is very understandable with problems you go through. She will mainly hear you out and provided you possible solutions to get through your everyday life. It’s one of the many reasons I enjoy talking to her.
As a therapist, Riddhi has provided support with more than I ever expected her too. And got me to address things that I did not even know were holding me back! She easily transformed grief counseling into relationship counseling, into trauma counseling...it keeps going! More than I have Talked to a therapist in 30 years.
Great with helping tease out the issues that have been playing out in the back of your mind. I have difficulty identify them sometimes and she's a great guide in that manner.
Riddhi Sevak-Patel has been amazing. Thoughtful, patient and kind and most of all supportive, not only to my child, but me as the parent as well.
Riddhi is very open-minded, non-judgmental, respectful, and patient. She does not make assumptions about how you feel. She tries to get to know you. I appreciate that she gives different perspectives/outlooks on certain thoughts. I'm really glad I have encountered her as my therapist. She has made a big impact on my mental health.
Listens, understands, helps one understand, very happy I found therapist Riddhi Sevak-Patel on teencounseling.com.
Riddhi is fantastic. She is responsive and its clear that she cares. Her goal is to get you out of therapy, not coming back for years. I couldn't recommend Riddhi more highly.
Great help. Always listens and facilitates her patients to discover foundational issues that may be inhibiting our mental well being.
Absolutely helped get my daughter on the right track. Would definitely recommend.
I have a lot of things I need to work on and she has helped me see them and decide one thing to work on first.
Before there was so much I was trying to deal with I was overwhelmed and couldn’t seem to get any of them accomplished
Dr. Riddhi is very personable and allows me the space to voice my concerns then asks pressing questions for me to delve deeper into my thought process. She is extremely professional and a wonderful benefit to my healthcare.
Awesome and helpful all the time.
I have made so much progress and growth!
I’ve had a few therapists in my life and Riddhi has been the most kind and compassionate therapy experience for me. As a person who has spent a lot of time feeling misunderstood and like an outcast, it feels so good to be heard and seen, even if over the phone. I have made so much progress in regards to my mental health in just a short time with the compassion, kindness and change in perspective Riddhi offers. I’m so grateful to have her on my side
I love her and always feel heard and understood
Attentive and results oriented.
Riddhi is very attentive to my needs and concerns. She also goes out of her way to accommodate to my schedule as much as possible. She is very experienced and I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family.
The best therapist I have worked with.
Riddhi is the best listener and very thoughtful with her advice. She's the best therapist I've ever had and I'm definitely keeping/following her!
I don’t know where I would be without her! She has helped me change my life for the better and put the work in for myself and supports me the entire way.
Riddhi was matched to me based on my questionnaire and we really seemed to work together well and understood each other. Come to find out, I went to a public gifted boarding school with Riddhi's husband which really explains why we relate so much. I was fairly impressed that teencounseling.com matched us up so well.
Riddhi is kind, professional, very knowledgeable, and has a great bedside manner and communication skills. She is highly intelligent and also very perceptive. We are a lot alike which makes it far easier for us to work together.
I'd highly recommend Riddhi to anyone but I'd especially recommend her if you are a high achiever as she understands these types of people very well.
A huge help, and a trusted confidant
Best I have ever had!
My therapist is really on the ball, she explains everything in a calm positive way. She's easy to understand and she's concerned about my needs. She checks up on me on a regular basis through text messages which I agreed to and I like doing. Phone conversations are easy and she's very thoughtful and suggestive suggestive as far as problem-solving and concerns of mine. A soft-spoken and easy to listen to and she strikes me as someone that knows what she's talking about. I'm sure all the therapist are good that Miss Patel that's what I'm talking to right now and she's really easy good listening and I would recommend her very highly
So far, I am enjoying the sessions with Riddhi. I feel heard, and I’m definitely a lot more aware than I was before. She has helped me bring awareness to my feelings and how not to dismiss my feelings while acknowledging others feelings.
She is amazing. Very insightful
Miss Riddhi is absolutely amazing! She is so intelligent and kind, and really helps me in being heard and feeling validated. She offer really good advice and is willing to go at your pace. I’d strongly recommend her :) I have made so much progress in the year I’ve been speaking to her and I am in a much better place now, thanks to her help.
After seeing many mental health professionals, I feel Riddhi is the first one to see me, hear me, and help me on my journey to being my authentic self. She is honest, transparent, a great listener and gives practical, low stress things to work on to help you grow. I’m looking forward to continuing working with her and living a healthier life.
Riddhi is fantastic! She is extremely knowledgeable and is a great listener. She offers me great perspective and has truly been a great help to me!
Riddhi seems to always be available at all times and days. She has helped me understand myself and feelings that I have struggled with. She continues to check in even if I have been inactive for more than a week. She is someone who genuinely cares and wants to help.
Very kind and intelegent
She’s a great listener and asks all the right questions. I’ve only been seeing her for a short time and she’s already helped me shift my thinking. She’s also helped me see my life and past differently and how it affects my mental health. Thankful for the help she’s provided so far.
My schedule is rather chaotic and I’m not always the best about keeping a schedule, but Riddhi takes time out of her day to check in on me and send me things that bring me back to the present to really look in on myself. I would highly recommend her to someone who’s never had therapy before and is hesitant, she’s very easy to talk with and can relate to any situation you throw at her. I trust her expertise and her kindness is something I cherish deeply.
I lost touch of myself and emotions for a long time and felt numb and effortless. But she helped change the way I see/approach things and made me feel alive again I couldn’t be anymore thankful
My time with Riddhi Sevak-Patel was a few months long and it was the most insightful and life-changing experience I have had. I’ve made strides in my life simply from implementing her strategies. I was ready to make changes and be open to a different way of seeing the way I saw things. If and when I decide to return, I know I would want her to be my therapist again.
She has an amazing way of calming you and really bringing the main focus to light. Very knowledgeable and listens, actually listens to you. Would highly recommend.
I’m so glad I got matched with Riddhi. I’ve only been working with her for a short time but am already feeling able to incorporate some of the thing we’re working on into my daily life. I am optimistic that with her continued guidance I will discover even more ways to handle (and improve) things that I have previously felt hopeless about for decades. It’s been really helpful for me that she is available through messaging, so when things come up I am able to explain to her in real time, receiving her suggestions while I’m actually going through it, rather than waiting a week for a session. Thank you, Riddhi!
Riddhi is phenomenal. She gets to the heart of the issue everytime.
Excellent therapist. She gave me clarity on many aspects of my life
Counseling sessions with Dr. Sevak- Patel has been very beneficial to my mental health. She is able to provide great support with reasonable action steps.
Great experience so far!
Riddhi has helped me tremendously in the past, and was noticeably missed during my time away from therapy (she is why i came back). I feel heard, understood, and am provided with a handful of ways to help my progress in achieving my goals.
Outstanding Listener and a amazing individual.
Riddhi is very patient to cater to my need. When I have self-doubt or overly negative, she helps to shed light on how to see things correctly, it would be greatly helpful. I found myself to be more confident and certain about myself gradullay.
Very kind, patient, and insightful.
Riddhi has been very helpful to me in just the short amount of time I have been working with her and I can honestly say that she is the first counselor that I have worked with that I have really clicked with.
She is a wonderful listener and brings a calm and steady energy into her sessions. She is very intentional about creating a judgement free space and is always warm and welcoming.
I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for counseling.
Riddhi has been great so far. She makes sure to reach out an appropriate amount of times during the week, is very responsive and I feel like she really helps me get to the core of things I am struggling with.
Riddhi is the best therapist I have had by far! She is thoughtful and understanding, she helps me see my issues in a new light and provides support when I need it. I treasure our relationship!
Riddhi has been a pleasure to work with. She is responsive, considerate, and she has really made an effort (and succeeded!) in understanding what my primary goals are, and and helping me establish benchmarks and in suggesting exercises all designed to help me meet those goals. I respect and appreciate her depth and insight. I am so pleased with my progress, my headspace is so much more positive, and that is all thanks to working with her. Highly highly recommend.
She is great
I love her. She’s amazing!
Riddhi is an amazing counselor. She does a fantastic job checking in with me (even when I forget to), and I know she truly has my best wishes at heart. I love working with her and can’t wait to see what other challenges and goals she helps me accomplish.
Riddhi is very understanding and caring. She has helped me with all I am learning to identify and arrest addictive behaviors, replace negative thought patterns with positive self-talk and eliminate unhealthy behaviors. I am practicing self-love and becoming my “best self.” As a result, my relationship and family relationships have improved. I am learning what it means to be truly happy, healthy and whole — mind, body and spirit. I am learning to clearly identify my goals and attain them.
Riddhi will help you on your life's journey.
Riddhi is mindful, caring and a wizard at bringing me right to the issues I need to address. I have had a number of counselors assist me with with various issues over the years and Riddhi is as good or better at counseling than anyone I’ve ever been associated with. I’m very thankful.
Riddhi is amazing! She listens and is able to see the big picture while giving me tools to use in the present. She challenges me to create new pathways for myself. Very helpful!
Although we have only been working together for 3 weeks, she's been of huge help!
After working with a few counselors and never clicking with anyone, I connected with Mrs. Sevak-Patel. She has been critical in helping me learn more about myself, gain much needed confidence and work through many issues I've struggled with. She provides much needed structure to my therapy and our sessions, which has been key in helping me stay on track and focused with my own goals. When I look back at where I was only a few months ago I can see the progress that's been made, it's been amazing!
Riddhi understands my issues better than I ever thought someone could, and has helped more in a year than I thought was possible. She is the best suited person for me for counselling.
Riddhi and I have been working together for 7 months, and I cannot tell you how much I've gotten out of therapy with her. She's a great listener, offers up solid solutions to complex problems, and doesn't make you feel weird for anything you're feeling. She's a great therapist!
Shes really helpful
She’s great! Highly competent, good listening ear, safe space provided, provides helpful perspective.
Rhiddi is a great counselor! She listens and has guided me to discover things about myself that has helped me improve my quality of life greatly. It was hard, but with Rhiddi, I felt confident to make these moves and push forward. The scary unknown became a little less scary, and I conquered my problems one step at a time.
Riddhi is incredible. She makes you feel so comfortable and heard. Somehow after discussing something really difficult, she even has a way of making me laugh! I would recommend her to anyone!!
The absolutely best so understanding and caring and responsive only have about 2 weeks with her so far and I am so thankful
An incredibly patient and understanding counselor who helped me over a long period of time. She is uncritical and responds quickly. I recommend her for a great counseling experience!
So far I have seen many positive changes in my daughter thanks to her counselor!
Riddhi has been wonderful in being able to see inside what I am saying and help me realize things that may not be at the forefront of my mind. She is my first counselor and I’ve had a wonderful experience so far.
She’s wonderful. I truly do recommend her.
Riddhi is a wonderful counselor. She always responds promptly to my messages and is absolutely not judgmental. She even tolerates the times when I fail to respond for many days. I recommend her without reservation.
Riddhi listens and helps m.h e understand my confusion about my anxiety and concerns. She helps me understand that I too am a person and need to take care of me too
When I first signed up for counseling I was nervous to tell a stranger about my problems. Riddhi Sevak-Patel made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. Her messages are positive and she shows she truly cares. When you have a video chat you find yourself very at ease. She has begun to help me in many ways that I did not think was possible. Thank you!
She has helped me work through some serious issues in my life
Riddhi has helped me more than my in-person therapist. She’s understanding and utilizes a patient centered approach but also ask questions to help start conversations. If I don't understand, she will explain it more in depth. So glad I switched to this app. Being able to talk to my counselor whenever is amazing.
Oh my goodness I have been through quite a few therapists because I didn't connect until I was matched with Riddhi Patel. I can't tell you how excited and thrilled I am that I joined this site. From the therapists to the customer service department everyone truly has a passion to help and make your experience better.
I love her! She has been great at helping me, being patient with me when I am non responsive and never stops checking on me!
Dr. Sevak-Patel is an amazing therapist. She always makes her clients feel heard and she reaches out every couple of days with thoughtful prompts to promote mental wellness. I would recommend her to anyone.
Riddhi is a phenomenal counselor. She not only is an attentive and thoughtful listener but she is also really great at being proactive with the counseling she gives. She also has a great attention to details. I would often be surprised by the things that she remembered from past conversations even when I didn't. Any one seeking help would be lucky to have her.
Riddhi is amazing. She definitely makes me feel comfortable and always has good advise. There's times i just want to talk and she's there. There were some things i needed to work on my self and she is very supportive and suggested some worksheets to do which really help. Am so grateful I matched with Riddhi she's one of a kind.
Riddhi has helped me more in one session than any other of my "in-person" therapists have ever been able to do. She took the time to read and understand my reasons for seeking therapy and even asked for a "preview" of what I wanted to talk about during my first session, saving the actual phone session for problem solving instead of just background (eliminating what I find the most frustrating part of working with a new therapist--all the time it takes to get them up to speed on the background!). She has been able to provide me with both explanations of why I might be feeling the way I do/why others act the way they do AND practical tips to manage my anxiety and improve relationships in my life!
Mrs. Sevak-Patel is responsive, caring, and knowledgeable. I would recommend her to anyone trying to work through relationship issues and people trying to find themselves.
Mrs. Riddhi is wonderful! My daughter thoroughly enjoys talking with her. We still have so much to work on/through. I am hopeful this is the right tool to see us through this difficult time.
Riddhi listened and understood my needs. With her help, I was able to overcome many obstacles that I never thought I could before. I greatly appreciate the help provided and she was always quick to respond. She has been a tremendous help in allowing me to find the strength and courage to get me to a better me!
Riddhi Sevak-Patel is sweet and very encouraging, which is something I really need. She listens to what I have to say and helps me find solutions to my problems. Even if I'm super busy, she always makes an effort to check in and see if I need anything. For me, I need someone that will encourage me and guide me to the decisions that will best suit me. Riddhi does all of this, but makes it feel like I'm talking to a friend that truly understands me and wants the best for me.
Great! Helped me meet my therapy goals and gave me good advice.
I love the teencounseling.com app and Riddhi is amazing. She is always there for me and is really helping me shape my future so that I live a happy and healthy life.
It's hard to talk about things face to face with therapists, but over the phone I feel like I'm talking to a close friend who's listening.
I have been so extremely pleased with Ms. Patel and the program itself. She was very responsive and helped not only my son but myself through the issues we were having. Should I need it again I will not hesitate to come back.
Riddhi has really helped me to find real solutions to my problems and concerns. For the first time I am able to understand HOW to accomplish my goals and not just that goals exist. I still have a long way to go but she is helping me:
-cope with divorce
-overcome anger issues I have
-repair my self esteem
-recognize my triggers
She is the best! She listens and responds so quickly! Love her!
Offers great advice!
Riddhi is hands down the best counselor I have ever had. She comes in to our sessions completely prepared with a guideline of what we will talk about, without dominating the conversation either. She keeps up with everything that is going on in my life and checks in with me on it, and she is very clearly extremely knowledgeable about psychology and counseling (she was definitely the student who probably got high As in all her classes!)
Riddhi is very helpful and nice. She doesn't push or pressure me for information. I feel comfortable talking to her.
I enjoy Riddhi's counseling style. She remembers our little details about our discussions and follows up. I feel like she is hearing me and truly cares about me.
Riddhi is a very knowledgeable counselor that really made me feel comfortable in sharing what I needed to share to get help. She also provided hands on worksheets that really gave me direction and confidence in being able to physically see what the problems were and what I needed to do. She is also a very kind person and doesn’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you Riddhi!
She's a very compassionate and caring person. She also, replies to messages very quickly and has provided several tools to support me in my journey.
Riddhi Sevak-Patel is wonderful to work with. She has helped me tremendously in a small amount of time. She responds very quickly if you need anything and has a lot of compassion. I highly recommend her services!
