Ami Patel is a Psychotherapist and Clinical consultant with more than 22 years of experience in individual & joint therapy, parent education, professional training and student supervision. Ami’s areas of specialty are mental health care for adults through the feminist lens of culture, trauma and gender-based violence.

We explore the influence of patriarchy, the rat race for success, weaponized incompetence, self-worth, and the relentless pressure to “do it all”. We’ll also tackle the cultural conditioning that reinforces self-doubt, comparison, and the myth of the “superwoman.” Together, we examine these harmful narratives and discuss how we can break free from the cycle of self-doubt, competition, perfection and burnout.
