Patricia Ductan, LCPC, LMHC, LPC, LPC — Therapist in District of Columbia

Hi there, I'm Patricia!

I am a providing therapeutic services to various populations.

My focus

I specialize in depression, anxiety, women's issues, and acculturation, but am well-equipped to help you take on life's challenges in other areas as well.

My approach

I am eclectic in the use of therapy skills but often use the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approach to conceptualize problems.

My communication style

My sessions are client-centered and directed. I provide some structure but provide an open safe space for you to process and work on goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always been attracted to helping professions and believe in the strength of the individual to make positive changes that have lasting impacts on their lives.

My goals for you

I like to establish goals from the very start and revisit these goals accordingly to assess whether progress is being made. I believe in empowering clients and building skill sets that lead to graduation and reduced need for ongoing services.

Our first session

Our first session will be an intake. This type of session involves a great degree of information gathering. I will ask questions pertaining to why you're seeking therapy at this time and get some historical context from you.
