In our work together, we will slow down, make sense of your experiences, and identify the patterns, beliefs, and emotions that may be keeping you stuck. When appropriate, I integrate EMDR to help process trauma and distressing experiences so they no longer hold the same intensity. My goal is to help you reconnect with who you are and move toward a life that feels meaningful and aligned with your values. Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable. If you’re ready to begin—or even just curious about what therapy might look like—I invite you to connect.
I specialize in navigating life changes, trauma, grief and loss, substance use and behavioral addictions, and provide LGBTQ+ affirming care. I use a person centered approach and integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Mindfulness based interventions.
Seeking help is tough, but I'm here to listen, support & guide with empathy. I care about your well-being & am dedicated to helping you overcome challenges. Take the first step towards healing & self-discovery. I look forward to speaking with you.
Take the first step to help. Call or Patricia Thurston now - (651) 240-5832
