Psychologist, PhD

I am a licensed psychologist who provides individual, couples, and group therapy. My primary theoretical approach is insight oriented psychotherapy for individuals working through relationship issues, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, and adjustment to transition through life's challenges.

Mark A Patton
Marriage & Family Therapist, MS, MFT
Verified
Making the first step towards change can be intimidating and a daunting task. Best that we talk first about getting the right client-therapist fit. For our youth, now more than ever the anxiety, avoidance, irritable moods and anger issues, and grief are showing up in ways that seem impossible to deal with. My approach is to first make the connection, then to help the young person clarify positive and measurable outcomes, and soon after develop the self-confidence to embark on that difficult mission to make things better with parent support. Working with kids 8 to 80 is a pleasure, a challenge, my mission. All things are possible!
