Virtual Counseling for Relationships, Intergenerational Trauma, and Life Transitions
If you’ve ever felt misunderstood by other therapists, you’re not alone….
Breaking the Mold of Traditional Therapy
Cookie-cutter approaches don't work for everyone. Our non-traditional therapy methods are specific to your unique bi-cultural experience, helping you navigate the complexities of balancing two worlds.
Struggling with your American and South/East Asian identities? Dealing with family expectations and cultural clashes? Our specialized approach helps you address these unique challenges and break free from intergenerational patterns.
We Get It Because We've Lived It
Our therapists aren't just professionals – they're first and second-generation immigrants who have walked in your shoes. No need to explain your culture or family dynamics – we get it because we've lived it.

Forget one-size-fits-all solutions. We work with you to enhance your existing coping mechanisms and develop strategies that seamlessly integrate into your daily life – whether it's during your commute, at work, or at home.

Our Team
At Intentional Therapy PLLC, we specialize in providing culturally-attuned, non-traditional therapy for BIPOC individuals, particularly those from South and East Asian backgrounds. Founded in March 2021 by Parthi B. Patel, a first-generation South Asian American, our practice understands the unique challenges faced by first- and second-generation individuals, such as bi-cultural identity struggles and intergenerational trauma.
We’ve created a space where you don’t have to explain your culture—our therapists ‘just get it,’ because we’ve lived it.
We have since expanded our practice to include other mental health professionals. Each of our therapists has unique areas of specialization and expertise, allowing us to collaborate and provide a range of care to individuals, couples, families, and organizations.”
Our Approach
Intentional Therapy specializes in providing ‘non-traditional therapy’— developed to address the unique family dynamics and cultural challenges within BIPOC communities.
Our ‘non-traditional therapy’ approach is tailored to meet the specific needs of BIPOC communities.
Traditional therapy methods often fall short of addressing the family dynamics and cultural complexities many of us face. That’s why we use real-life, practical coping skills that fit your life and family structure.
Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, or navigating your identity, we create realistic solutions that align with your world, not generic techniques that don’t resonate.
