Patricia Sumption, LCSW

Psychotherapist
3517 Peregrine Falcon Dr, Austin, TX
I believe a therapist needs more than the requisite degrees and licenses to be truly helpful to those who are having difficulties. A good therapist needs broad, deep personal and professional experience to make genuine healing connections! My experiences are broad and deep—I’ve done many things in many places. That allows me to relate to lots of different people and challenges. Our work may be to alleviate discomfort that has manifested in your life as anxiety, depression, trauma, etc. Or you may be seeking clarity about what you want, where you’re going, and how to get there. Either way—I can help. It’s more about me as a person than it is about my education and training that makes me a good therapist. That said, I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Loyola University Chicago, which complements my life and professional experience and allows me to connect with and help people effectively. I offer psychotherapy to adults with an emphasis on coping with the present, coming to peace with your past, and embracing your future. I work with a broad spectrum of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, substance abuse and addiction, stress and adjustment disorders, and personality disorders. I have my own way of making sense of the challenges people face. People and situations are multi-determined; each is a unique mix of their experiences, genetics, and current situation. No textbook, no training is going to be able to capture you and your situation. For 20 years, I have helped many people work through issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, and abuse. They have built skills to manage difficult relationships, enhance existing relationships, establish new, healthier ones, and discover passion in their lives again or for the first time. Let's get together and talk about what you want to get out of your life and what you want to get in it!

What should a new client know about working with you?

I'm very relational, warm and approachable. I use humor when approachable. And I've been known to use coarse language, even in session.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

You lead and I follow. It's your session and I'm there to provide a safe place for you to share. My role is to listen and provide feedback, direction and psychoeducation as it is helpful. I'm there to witness.
