I am Jennifer Patterson, MA, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and I can help:

I work with clients with experiences of sexual abuse, anger, anxiety, depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Bipolar, ADHD, relationship challenges, self-injury, and life transitions. I take into account physical, psychological, environmental, and emotional health, and use a blend of techniques to achieve client goals. We work together to help you achieve what you want and need right now.

Art therapy may be integrated into counseling as a nonverbal alternative or addition to the process. The goals that will serve as the backbone of the counseling experience may include stress reduction, problem solving, and increased communication skills. Art therapy isn't about what you make, but what happens as you experience the process, and how you may begin to see things differently.

People, communication, relationships, emotions and daily life can be messy. Sometimes it's gloriously, beautifully, fantastical inspirational messiness, and sometimes it's painful. Sometimes we learn (willingly and unwillingly) lessons from our messes, and sometimes it takes a while and maybe some assistance to relearn our way out of bad habits.

Call or email to set up a free 30 minute in-person consultation to give you the chance to get to know me and decide if this is the right fit for you.
