Getting to know Patricia Grudens
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I help diverse populations from various cultural, socioeconomic, and spiritual backgrounds navigate a wide range of stressors. I work particularly well with children, adolescents, and adults who are navigating life transitions, identity development, self-esteem, stress/anxiety, trauma, and loneliness.
My own therapeutic experience taught me the value of providing sensitive, compassionate care. That’s why my mission is to offer a safe, supportive space for every patient, including BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ folks, to ensure everyone feels seen. If you are feeling overwhelmed or “stuck in a rut,” or need support in reconnecting with your life/life purpose, then please reach out today to start your healing journey.
What should a new client know about working with you?
DISCLAIMER: not accepting Medicare or Medicaid plans at this time
At 13 years old, emergency heart surgery shaped my future in unexpected ways. At that time, I felt like I had nobody I could talk to about how anxious I was, and most doctors dismissed my physical and mental health concerns because I was young. This experience shaped my path to becoming a therapist, deepening my commitment to making sure all of my patients feel respected, engaged, and listened to. I want you to know that you are not broken, and that you have everything you need within yourself to heal and thrive.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Whether you’re looking to work through specific challenges or simply want to understand yourself better, I provide a compassionate, open-minded, and client-centered approach that helps you achieve your goals. I utilize a mix of evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and an overall holistic view of healthcare to personalize treatment, steering clear of clinical coldness and accepting you exactly where you are. Working with me is safe, collaborative, and like having a “professional friend.” I create a space where you can be your authentic self, free from shame or criticism.
It takes courage to ask for support, and I applaud you for taking that step. When you’re ready, I’m here to listen deeply and offer guidance and tools that will help you navigate challenges and achieve self-discovery, healing, and growth so you can lead a more fulfilling life.
