Pattriana Perry, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Pattriana!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is very passionate about destigmatizing mental illnesses and providing excellent psychotherapy to my clients. I earned my Bachelor's in Psychology from UCLA and my Master's in Social Work from USC. I have 6 plus years of experience in the field. I love to travel, go hiking, roller-skate, and eat!

My focus

I enjoy supporting those who may feel ostracized by their community for their ethnicity, gender, or beliefs. I have worked with a variety of people, from older adults to children, different ethnicities, genders, homelessness, individuals who use drugs, athletes, veterans, and more.

My approach

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you identify and reshape unhelpful thoughts. My approach is practical and collaborative, giving you tools to feel more in control. I may also incorporate other evidence-based modalities (EMDR, ACT), depending on your symptoms, needs, and wants, in order to support your unique goals and progress.

My communication style

I prioritize clear, open communication to create a supportive, non-judgmental environment. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with me as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.

My goals for you

I like to believe I am well-educated and have a lot of experience and success with my clients. I've been told I am a great listener and make people feel safe to be vulnerable. I am confident in my skills and abilities to build a great therapeutic relationship while improving your mental state and working towards your goals.

Our first session

In our first session, we will build rapport and start with introductions. I am big on creating a healthy therapeutic relationship and positive working alliance where we work together to create the best treatment plan for you.
