Counseling: Individuals, Families, Couples & Groups

Patterson Wellness Group...​

will help you put those puzzle pieces together.  We use multiple theoretic approaches to achieve your treatment goals to explore the underlying dynamics and repeating patterns of mood, thought, emotion, behavior, relational styles, and experiences that form recurring “themes” in your life.  Together we collaborate to bring more awareness, intention, empowerment, and connection into your life and into your relationships so that you can live more fully the life you have imagined. 

Helps people with mental illness to identify and change inaccurate perceptions that they may have of themselves and the world around them. The therapist helps the patient establish new ways of thinking by directing attention to both the "wrong" and "right" assumptions they make about themselves and others.

Focuses on the behaviors and interactions a patient has with family and friends. The primary goal of this therapy is to improve communication skills and increase self-esteem during a short period of time. It usually lasts three to four months and works well for depression caused by mourning, relationship conflicts, major life events, and social isolation.

 Is a type of cognitive behavioral therapy used for high-risk, tough-to-treat patients. The term "dialectical" comes from the idea that bringing together two opposites in therapy -- acceptance and change -- brings better results than either one alone. DBT helps a person change unhealthy behaviors such as lying and self-injury through keeping daily diaries, individual and group therapy and phone coaching.

Is based on the assumption that a person is having emotional problems because of unresolved, generally unconscious conflicts, often stemming from childhood. The goal of this type of therapy is for the patient to understand and cope better with these feelings by talking about the experiences. Psychodynamic therapy is administered over a period of at least several months, although it can last longer, even years.

Places emphasis on a person’s present and future circumstances and goals rather than past experiences.  The symptoms or issues that bring a person to therapy are not focused upon.  

The primary goal is to focus on their own understanding rather than unconscious motives or understanding.  Based on the premise of an organized set of beliefs about the world and oneself.
