Patricia Ellis-Christensen

Hi there, I'm Patricia!

You will find me talkative, alert, and tuned in to what you have to say. I know therapy is hard; I've done lots of it myself. So my presence in your life is to make it easier to do what is difficult. If you're challenged by a mood disorder, finding yourself in conflict with a partner, or looking at the deep work to create change, I will be there.

My focus

My clients work hard. They show up for sessions, ready to be engaged in the process of therapy. Clients who are prescribed meds take their meds. It's vital if we're going to get anything done. Attendance is really important too, and even though I'm sure we all get sick sometimes, regularly showing up makes a difference.

My approach

Each client is different. You will find I have a lot of opinions which you can accept or reject. I also have deep feelings about each person who walks into a therapy session. For some people, that resonates a lot, and most people would describe me as supportive. But you get to tell me what you need, and hopefully that's what I am for you.
