Hello there! Great to meet you! My name is Dorcas Patterson, and I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist. I specialize in working with adults and seniors who struggle with anxiety, depression, domestic abuse, chronic illness, self-esteem challenges and trauma. I also work with people who are navigating life transitions such as divorce, career changes or relocation. My goal is to support you in reducing symptoms, finding coping strategies, becoming more assertive, learning how to set healthy boundaries, and improving your relationship with others, but most importantly, with yourself!
I help clients by using a blend of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Compassion-Focused Therapy, along with my clinical training and lived experience, allowing for an authentic and compassionate connection. This is a space for you to be yourself and grow into who you want to be.
In our first few sessions, you can expect a safe, judgment-free space where you can share at your own pace. I listen, ask questions, offer feedback, I also believe humor can be a powerful part of healing, supporting growth along the way. If you’re ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out and begin your journey towards healing and growth.
