Twenty years ago, my life was turned upside down when my husband walked out the door, leaving me to raise our two year old daughter and dreams I thought we had built together since our second year in college. I couldn't imagine how I could go on. I couldn't imagine how anyone who'd been though this sort of pain had gone on. But, to my surprise, I did go on, grow, developed new and stronger emotional muscles. And formed a new dream: I wanted everyone to believe they could get there (peace/happiness) from here (pain/anxiety/confusion). So, I went back to school and, with a lot of family help, got this degree that allowed me to begin helping others help themselves. For over 20 years now, I've worked with women growing through divorce, adults facing stage of life changes, people of all ages seeking to believe in - or even identify - their strengths, accept and work on their weaknesses. We start by learning to trust each other; we start by trusting the client's self empowerment (even if the client doesn't really believe - at first). Then we form a two-person team and reframe negative beliefs, pinpoint resources, figure out distorted thoughts that are holding the client back and need to be abandoned. We do in-session exercises, refer to research and books, and connect dots in belief sets until...we get there from here. And, almost all the time, we do. We will - you and I. Almost no problem is too big such that two people working hand in hand with a sound knowledge base, can't overcome it. In time, the problem that seems so big today will be a learning experience and a memory. We'll get you there. Let's start now.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I have truly enjoyed Ms. Pat. She has been a lifesaver at this time in my life. To have someone to talk to without judgement and give valuable advice is needed. I appreciate how considerate she is and how she affirms and acknowledge me as a person.
Ms. Patrice is a WONDERFUL counselor. She has already helped so much and I really believe God sent her to me. She is the best counselor I have ever had the privilege of speaking with and I would highly recommend her.

Patrice has been a wonderful therapist for me over the last several months. I had one before her and I never really clicked or was able to feel comfortable opening up and discussing things. But with Pat I feel like I am safe and validated in how I feel and I also can tell she truly cares about me, not just getting the hour over with. I appreciate her so much!
I cherish the time Pat and I have spent so far and look forward to continuing my growth with her by my side.

I've only had one session with Patrice so far, but she was very easy to talk to and understood my goals clearly. I'm excited to continue sessions with her and think she will really help me!
I have thoroughly enjoyed Pat as my counselor so far. She takes the time to listen and is not quick to offer a solution right away, but listens to my heart and allows me to say all I need to say before responding. She is walking with me through a particularly challenging season in my life right now and I'm grateful for her expertise and her presence overall. She's fantastic!
