About Me
Life is full of ups and downs but the true test in life is how you overcome those obstacles.
Hi, my name is Riddhi Sevak-Patel and I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist. 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 conduct group therapy at a local Behavioral Health Hospital working 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.

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 the absolute best counselor I have ever had. She is tremendous.
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!!
She is amazing and pays attention to what is actually happening. She helps focus on the main issues and hold space, while also moving forward with goals.
Excellent response time and very helpful with resources provided.
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!
She is awesome
So far I have seen many positive changes in my daughter thanks to her counselor!
I specifically rejoined teen counseling so that i could work with Riddhi again. I have also recommended her to family.
Riddhi has been my first counselor, and I am so grateful for her expertise and compassion. She has set me up with attainable goals, and reminds me to look at different perspectives when working thorough an issue. She does an amazing job and is an asset to teen counseling.
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!
Riddhi has helped me work through my issues in the most pleasant way. We have mostly focused on my love life, and I gotta say I don’t think it’s a coincidence that I have recently found a wonderful guy to date. It has a lot to do with my self confidence and knowing what I need and want, which she helped me to work through and figure out. She’s so terrific to work with y’all!!
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 teen counseling 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 is a great counselor that really helps to steer you in the right direction.
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!
