Greetings! I'm Patricia Ulloa-Green, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with an extensive 24-year background in the mental health field. Dedicated to assisting individuals navigating adversity, I bring a passion for helping others discover creative solutions tailored to their unique needs. Having triumphed over my own challenges, I approach therapy with a deep understanding of life's complexities.
My approach
In today's world, trauma is pervasive, and my goal is to provide compassion, kindness, and empathy as we embark on your healing journey together. Employing a person-centered approach, I customize therapy to directly address your issues and struggles. I draw from modalities such as Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), combining them based on your individual needs.
My focus
My expertise encompasses trauma, complex trauma, addictions, depression, anxiety, ADHD, suicidal thoughts, and self-harming behaviors. Additionally, I have significant experience and training in family conflict resolution and couples counseling. In couples therapy, I assist in resolving marital conflicts and provide premarital counseling, emphasizing effective communication.
My communication style
My communication style is adaptive, reflecting the energy you bring to each session. Recognizing that emotional challenges vary, I aim to create a relaxed and client-led atmosphere. Some days, I focus on uplifting energy, while others may be calmer. I prioritize ensuring that my clients feel comfortable expressing their emotional needs in every session.
My first session with you
In our initial session, I seek to understand your reasons for therapy, your goals, and expectations. My intention is to establish a tranquil therapeutic environment where you feel safe and heard. I allocate time for any questions you may have, alleviating any concerns about embarking on this transformative journey.
