Getting to know Patricia Battles

Hi there, I'm Patricia! Finding the right therapist is the first step toward lasting change, and I believe the relationship we build is the foundation of your progress. As an LCSW and Board-Certified Music Therapist, I bring a unique, creative, and trauma-focused perspective to our sessions. I support clients who are ready to live a fuller life with greater joy. My focus I work with adults in need. I have extensive experience working with veteran-connected populations and folks navigating high-stress systems. Whether you are dealing with burnout, trauma, or significant life changes, my goal is to provide a structured yet flexible space where you feel heard, understood, and equipped with the tools to heal. My approach In our work together, we may utilize traditional talk therapy alongside specialized approaches like EMDR to address deep-seated challenges. My style is collaborative and supportive, focusing on your individual goals while maintaining clear, professional boundaries to ensure our time is effective and focused on your well-being. My communication style My communication style is defined by compassionate clarity. I believe that being direct is a form of kindness; it removes the guesswork and creates a safe, transparent space for growth. I pair this straightforwardness with a warm, empathetic presence, ensuring that while we are being honest about the work, you always feel supported and heard. My journey to mental healthcare My journey began with a fascination for how we process emotion and trauma beyond just words. I started my career as a Music Therapist, where I saw how creative interventions could reach people when traditional talk therapy couldn't. I pursued my Master of Social Work to better understand the systemic challenges my clients faced while healing. My goals for you I view goal-attainment as a collaborative, structured partnership. We start by deconstructing broad desires—like 'feeling better'—into specific, manageable milestones.
