Patricia Troupe

My communication style

I believe it's important to start where you feel comfortable to create a safe space. I strive to be a good listener, genuine, compassionate, empathetic, flexible, and non-judgmental. I ensure understanding by asking questions and using reflection.

My journey to mental healthcare

I developed a love and appreciation for our elderly and mental health populations. I'm driven to be a therapist because I love learning new things and believe everyone has something to offer. I stay curious and I'm not afraid to ask hard questions.

My goals for you

I enjoy exploring goals and discussing the positives. The goals you decide can be big or small. I encourage setting goals that best support wellness, growth, or change that can be measured, so we know therapy is helping. The goals help us both understand what you're seeking and guide effective treatment.

Our first session

I take a holistic approach and explore mental and physical factors. First, we review paperwork: informed consent, privacy practices, and release of information. I try to be thorough in your assessment by using active listening, taking notes, and asking questions about your past and present family history, medical history, and current situation.
