Tristi Patterson, LPC-S

Are you feeling like life's throwing out more than you can handle, or that you are never quite good enough no matter how hard you try? Maybe you've experienced trauma, are struggling in relationships, feel like an imposter, or perhaps you don't even know what's off! I'm honored to work with courageous people (like you) who are "in it" and searching for healing, connection, and change. Together, while practicing self-compassion, we'll explore and make sense of your struggles, practice ways to cope with stress, sort out negative feelings, and awaken inner resources for healing. The first step may be a scary one, but you're worth it! Your sessions will be uniquely tailored to your needs, goals, and preferences. Expect to be met with safety and warmth as we work together towards your healing, whatever that needs to be! We can focus on getting you through current struggles, process and explore at a deeper level, or we can develop a plan for both. Expect me to challenge you! I know how hard it can be to climb out of the quicksand when you are really in it. Big and little traumas, feeling like you don't matter, feeling disconnected...it's hard, but it doesn't always have to be this way. I want you to know there is hope for healing. Change is possible! I am a licensed professional counselor who relies on integrative and evidence-based practices. A strong relationship is essential to effective therapy, and I work to provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment to help adult clients achieve their desired outcomes.
