Mixa Patel, MA, LPC Associate - Supervised by Heather R. McConnell, LPC-S

I welcome individuals and couples from all backgrounds into a compassionate and affirming space where we can explore challenges and support healing. Together, we’ll look beyond the difficulties of today to uncover the deeper meaning within your experiences. I meet you where you are, guiding gently toward where you want to be, balancing support with challenge so you can begin to fully trust yourself. My therapeutic practice is trauma-informed and supported by evidence-based methods such as cognitive-behavioral, solution-focused, and mindfulness techniques.

I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief and loss, life transitions, or those moments of feeling stuck and unsure of what comes next. Many of my clients are exploring patterns shaped by attachment, perfectionism, or burnout, and are learning to feel more grounded, connected, and authentic in how they relate to themselves and others. We work together to either uncover what’s unresolved or discover who they are beneath the roles, expectations, and stress of daily life.

Couples and Relationships
From newly committed relationships to premarital and long-term partnerships, my work supports couples in going beyond the day-to-day challenges, exploring the deeper patterns, unmet needs, and emotional wounds that shape how you relate to one another. Healthy relationships honor both individuality and togetherness, and our work focuses on understanding yourself, your partner, and your relationship—three paths leading to the heart of your emotional bond. Together, we’ll strengthen communication, nurture understanding, and create space for both of you to feel seen and heard. When there is uncertainty about the path ahead, we explore it together with honesty and care, helping you find clarity and a way forward that honors you both.
