Rachael Patterson, M. Ed., LPC
Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has had the privilege of working with clients like you for over 10 years. I consider it an honor to hear your story and to “walk” 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 specialize in doing play therapy with children ages 3-10, and I work together with parents to help them address emotional or behavioral concerns in their children. I also work with families as a whole, improving communication and strengthening the parent-child relationship.
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 gain awareness.
