Patricia Crenshaw

My communication style

I provide the client with a warm, nonthreatening, supportive environment where open, honest communication can occur and a mutually trusting relationship can be built. The best outcome in therapy is when the client feels safe and can be their authentic self.

My journey to mental healthcare

I love working with people and making a difference in their lives and their situations. Helping and supporting people during difficult times has been the most rewarding career. Seeing people moving forward and making sustained positive changes in their lives is what drives me to do the work.

My goals for you

Together, we identify and prioritize what the client wants to work on during our time together, focusing on the strengths of the individual and developing a treatment plan that encompasses both large and small goals that will improve symptoms and quality of life.

Our first session

The purpose of the first session is for the client and me to get to know each other and decide if it is a good fit. It is an opportunity for the client to determine if they feel comfortable sharing what prompted them to seek therapy, and what they hope to achieve. During the first session, an initial assessment is completed.

I identify as...

• Female, Cis
