Welcome!

Mental well-being is a top priority because it is the key that opens the door to a happy, healthy, and stable life. Life can be full of unpredictable circumstances and events that leave us feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, stressed, anxious, or depressed. Experiencing one, or all, of these starts to negatively impact critical areas such as sleep, work, self-motivation, personal relationships, or lead us to start engage in unhealthy outlets. It also makes us feel all alone and emotionally trapped. Reaching out for help can initially feel uneasy and it is a difficult task, but be proud of yourself that you are taking that first step! I have over 20 years of clinical experience working with clients aged 13 to 75 with a main focus on working for you, your needs, and how to achieve your goals to live a happy, healthy, and stable life. Specialty areas include anxiety disorders, depression, mood disorders, Acute and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, relationships, couples/marital counseling, sexual issues, employees of law enforcement agencies, and forensic based testing.

Hi my name is Celina Patterson. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 8 years of experience working with teens, adults, BIPOC clients, and educators navigating trauma, anxiety, or depression. Many of my clients have held it together for so long that they don't know how to put it down — and reaching out for support takes real courage. As someone who has also worked full-time in a school setting for years, I have a deep understanding of the compassion fatigue that comes with caring for others professionally, and I hold particular space for educators and school staff. I offer a judgment-free space where you are seen, heard, and valued.
