Getting to know Christina Patterson

Hi there, I'm Christina! I am looking forward to walking along side you during your journey towards a better state of wellbeing. I have often heard that working through challenges makes all of us better for having undergone the process of finding a solution that fits. I hope to work with you and learn your unique method of taking on your challenges. My focus I work with 18 years and older individuals who are seeking solutions to dealing with past childhood and/or young adult trauma. I assist adults in creating the kind of life they want to live so that they can figure out how to thrive. I am encouraging, patient, and calming. I enjoy seeking clients who are able to see their life path. My approach I listen to clients' situation and meet them where they are at using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotional dysregulation with brain anatomy/physiology. I work collaboratively with clients as I assist them. My communication style Using assertive communication, I support the client's point of view and collaboratively work with them in a nonjudgmental and understanding manner. I practice reflective listening skills during challenging discussions to pull forth previously used solutions while practicing new coping skills to assist the client in their healing process. My journey to mental healthcare Being a trauma survivor myself, I learned firsthand how a support partnership can educate and improve perspective. I am very passionate about providing meaningful assistance to others' capacity for emotional growth and healing in a lasting change. I am living the dream. I get to help others in a very meaningful way that lasts. My goals for you This is my favorite part of the therapeutic process. Together we will define your goals, and I will acknowledge your progress so that you see your own growth. We will share together as you gain new insights.
