Patricia Do, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Patricia!

I believe we all deserve a safe space to explore our thoughts, feelings, and values without judgment. A space to develop deeper understanding of patterns within our relationships, decisions, and coping strategies.

My focus

I work with anxiety, body image, trauma, career stress, identity challenges, relationship distress, and managing family system pressures. I support you in increasing self-awareness and building confidence in goal setting, decision making, and recovering from unhealthy relationships.

My approach

I encourage you to explore and process your thoughts, feelings, and concerns regarding lived experiences, behavioral patterns, core beliefs, and relational roles. This exploration leads to self-awareness and insight, assisting in personal goal development and decision-making.

My communication style

I use a humorous, non-judgmental, and active listening approach. Therapy is vulnerable, so I prioritize building trust, seeking clarity for your meaning and needs, and focusing sessions on your priorities.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to psychotherapy through personal history of childhood challenges and environmental stressors. Human resilience has always inspired me to lead, support, and guide others in a strength-based manner.

My goals for you

Intentional exploration of lived experiences and patterns allows clarity in developing treatment goals. Goals are driven by you and may include healthy coping strategies, identifying boundaries, increasing self-awareness, or practicing mindfulness.

Our first session

We'll review introductions, informed consent, privacy practices, and expectations. Then we'll complete a psychosocial assessment gathering information about your presenting problem, history, strengths, and patterns. We'll end by establishing treatment goals and scheduling.
