About me

Hello! My name is Paula Patterson, MSW, LCSW. I have been working in the mental health field for about 20 years. My training stems from being a school based social worker in my undergrad experience. I have worked specifically with couples in toxic relationships focusing on communication skills within these relationships. Taking a perspective of strengths what each individual can do and work on instead of what each individual can't do. I provide many interventions that will suit your needs. There is hope and solutions to almost every problem. I work with self-care interventions, healthy boundaries, "I-statements" to express thoughts and feelings without blaming or causing more problems in the relationship. Life is a journey and I appreciate the opportunity to help in anyway, navigating the peeks and valleys of life.
