Biography

* THIS PROVIDER CANNOT PRESCRIBE CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES FOR MN PATIENTS *

My approach is to help you ultimately feel better and move forward with a hopeful plan involving medication management, education about your illness, and therapy to manage your emotional and environmental stressors. I strive to meet your expectations. Recognizing the challenges and complexities of mental health conditions, I also encourage input from your established care provider, therapist, and loved ones who want to be involved in your care, as I feel such collaboration provides optimal treatment. I have interests in mood disorders during and after pregnancy, and immigrant and refugee mental health.

I am board-certified in both psychiatry and family medicine. Prior to joining Talkiatry, I worked in a busy Minneapolis emergency room for 20 years, caring for patients presenting in mental health crisis, treating their acute presentation, and helping find solutions to their concerns, ranging from starting and adjusting medications to identifying and addressing contributing factors such as medical illness, substance use, and life stressors. I have also worked as a psychiatrist in an integrated primary care clinic. I have extensive experience and can comfortably manage a wide range of illnesses and problems. I see patients of all ages and ethnicities, including LGBTQ+ populations.

I have taught and supervised medical students, psychiatric residents/fellows, and family medicine residents. I have collaborated extensively with social workers, therapists, and other health care providers to achieve the best outcomes for my patients. I work on staying current with the latest evidence-based care and mental health treatments.

Vibhuti Patel, PMHNP

I am a dual-certified Family and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner providing holistic, whole-person care for adolescents and adults. I believe mental and physical health are deeply connected, and I value a therapeutic relationship built on mutual trust, respect, unconditional positive regard, and cultural humility. Outside the clinic, I am a proud mother of two and believe food can be both medicine and joy.

I see our work as an egalitarian partnership. I will not simply hand you a prescription, nor leave you in an unstructured conversation. I combine clinical precision in medication management with a warm, reflective space for healing. I am direct and transparent, while empowering you to make informed, shared decisions about your care.

We begin with a warm, grounding welcome and first look at how you are doing overall. Then we use a collaborative, structured approach to track progress, reviewing medications and coping strategies along with sleep, energy, and mood. Depending on your needs, treatment may integrate psychopharmacology, CBT, supportive psychotherapy, and lifestyle and integrative medicine, including nutrition, sleep, stress management, and mindfulness.

During our first appointment, I take time to thoroughly explore your history, current concerns, and where you would like to go in treatment. I carry that understanding into each follow-up visit, with you directing the goals of your care while we adjust your treatment together as your needs evolve.

I earned my Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from New York College of Osteopathic Medicine, completed my Psychiatry residency at St. Vincent’s Catholic Medical Center, and completed a Child and Adolescent Psychiatry fellowship at St. Luke’s Roosevelt. I am board certified in Psychiatry and Child and Adolescent Psychiatry by the ABPN.

I also have an interest in perimenopause- and menopause-related mood, anxiety, sleep, and concentration changes.

I take a patient-centered approach and meet you where you are. My relaxed, conversational style helps you feel comfortable discussing what matters most. I want to understand what is bothering you, how it affects your life, and what you would like to change. I value continuity of care and believe treatment should realistically fit your life.

I begin with a detailed evaluation of your concerns, history, previous treatments, and how symptoms affect daily functioning. We discuss my impressions and treatment options, your preferences, and what you can realistically expect. At follow-ups, we consider what has improved, what remains difficult, and whether treatment is helping. Sometimes recovery involves more than medication changes, including reducing demands when symptoms or burnout affect functioning.

Please note: For patients located in Minnesota, I am unable to prescribe controlled substances because of Minnesota telehealth prescribing restrictions.

I am a board-eligible psychiatrist who works with adults in both English and Spanish. I completed my psychiatry residency at Creighton University and earned my medical degree from Des Moines University.

In my practice, I take time to understand what you are experiencing, what has or has not worked for you before, and what you would like to get out of treatment. I want our visits to feel like a conversation where you can ask questions and tell me when something is not working for you.

I am thoughtful about medication and do not believe in making changes without a clear reason. When I recommend a medication, I explain why I am recommending it, what I hope it will help with, and what side effects or tradeoffs are worth considering. I want you to understand why we are choosing a particular treatment rather than simply being told what to take.

Therapy is also an important part of my visits. Along with discussing medications, we may spend time looking at patterns, stressors, coping strategies, and different ways of approaching difficult situations. I see medication and therapy as working together rather than as completely separate parts of treatment.

At your first visit, I will spend time getting to know you and reviewing your psychiatric and medical history, previous treatment, and current concerns. We will talk about what I think may be going on and discuss the options available to you. My goal is for you to leave with a better understanding of what we are treating and a clear plan for what comes next. From there, our visits are an ongoing conversation about what is getting better, what is still getting in the way, and whether we need to adjust our approach.

I foster a warm, supportive environment where patients feel heard and respected. I believe each person has a unique story and that treatment should be collaborative, thoughtful, and tailored to individual needs, goals, and values.

Care typically includes monthly visits until stable, then every 2–4 months to support continuity and long-term well-being.

I believe in building a strong therapeutic alliance grounded in empathy, respect, and curiosity. I value collaboration and open communication, ensuring that patients feel like active partners in their care. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where individuals feel understood as whole people, not defined solely by their symptoms. I also prioritize incorporating cultural background and social determinants of health, including financial stressors and systemic barriers, into treatment planning.

In my work, I begin by taking time to understand each patient's unique story, experiences, and goals. I approach care through a trauma-informed lens and with cultural sensitivity to ensure treatment feels safe, respectful, and relevant. My process integrates evidence-based approaches, including psychodynamic therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), while tailoring care plans to meet both clinical needs and patient preferences. I regularly check in on progress, invite feedback, and adjust treatment collaboratively to support an ongoing, responsive therapeutic process.

I received my BA in Biology from the University of Chicago and my medical degree from Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine.
