Chantelle Patel, LLC Limited Licensed Counselor in Michigan

Hello, my name is Chantelle Patel, and I am a Limited License Professional Counselor in the state of Michigan. I received my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Western Michigan University in April of 2023. I also received my Bachelor’s in Psychology in 2020.

As a counselor, I like to work from a person-centered and cognitive-behavioral approach. I believe that unconditional positive regard, empathy, and non-judgmental listening are crucial in the counseling setting and in helping clients grow and feel more comfortable. I also like to focus on clients strengths and how their strengths can be useful within their process. I have experience working with clients aged 7-40 with depression, anxiety, and trauma. I also work with people of different cultural backgrounds and members of the LGBTQ+ community.

It's important to me to be able to help clients navigate life in a safe and warm environment. As the counselor, I see the client as the expert in their lives, and I am here for guidance and support as the client goes through their journey. I am here to help my clients to achieve their goals and help them recognize their own strengths, and to be more self-aware in the process.
