Rachael Patterson, M. Ed., LPC
Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has had the privilege of working with clients like you for 12 years. I consider it an honor to hear your story and to come alongside you as you face the challenges in your life.
With acceptance and encouragement, I seek to understand where you have come from. We work together in a supportive and collaborative environment to address the areas of your life that are causing you distress. We work toward growth and healing, and many clients state that they leave counseling with more peace, confidence and a greater sense of understanding and purpose in their life.
I work with individuals who have a wide array of different struggles, including life stress, grief, and relationship issues. I do have personal experience and a passion for working with individuals of all ages dealing with anxiety. I also love to work with families as a whole, improving communication and strengthening the parent-child relationship and addressing relationships that are struggling.
Another area I am passionate about is working with couples who are looking for healthy communication and re-connection in their relationship. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy to help couples learn to identify negative patterns in their relationship and work toward a more healthy and satisfying connection.
I love meeting new people, hearing about their lives, and partnering with them as they work through difficult situations. I believe in counseling as a partnership in which both counselor and client form a strong relationship and work together to help the client grow and heal. One of the most important aspects of counseling is the relationship formed between the counselor and the client. Reach out to me and we can schedule a 15-minute consultation call to see if I am the right fit for you and your situation! I am here to help – you are not alone.
