Christina Patterson

My communication style

Using assertive communication, I support the client's point of view and collaboratively work with them in a nonjudgmental and understanding manner. I practice reflective listening skills during challenging discussions to pull forth previously used solutions while practicing new coping skills to assist the client in their healing process.

My journey to mental healthcare

Being a trauma survivor myself, I learned firsthand how a support partnership can educate and improve perspective. I am very passionate about providing meaningful assistance to others' capacity for emotional growth and healing in a lasting change. I am living the dream. I get to help others in a very meaningful way that lasts.

My goals for you

This is my favorite part of the therapeutic process. Together we will define your goals, and I will acknowledge your progress so that you see your own growth. We will share together as you gain new insights. We will adapt this strategy in a meaningful and supportive manner.

Our first session

After collecting your personal intake data, I begin explaining some brain anatomy/physiology to provide calming understanding of how our healing process will proceed which usually calms my clients. We will begin building our therapeutic relationship. We will move at your pace, one step at a time, and I will be here to guide you throughout.
