Exploring New Paths and Discovering Better Outcomes

Whether you are in need of support following a major life-changing event, seeking assistance with personal behavior change, in search of strategies to reduce emotional suffering, looking to create loving, honest relationships with others, or simply looking to be more mindful and intentional in your daily choices, individual psychotherapy can help people discover new and better pathways toward self-fulfillment.

Dr. Patterson's clinical philosophy recognizes that personal growth often emerges not just in what we learn from our various experiences, but in how we choose to apply those lessons in the future. Through increased awareness of our experiences, thoughts and behaviors we gain the ability to build on those things we do well, challenge the patterns that are ineffective or damaging, and then intentionally choose a course that better serves our overall well-being. This philosophy for change can be applied to adults and adolescents exhibiting a variety of symptoms, including those associated with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, anxiety, stress management, or for anyone coping with significant life events (end of a relationship, loss of a loved one, work-related stress, etc.)
