About me

I have been a practicing counselor for 9 years working with families and adults in clinical settings including private practice.

I feel honored to work collaboratively with clients utilizing the interpersonal therapeutic relationship to empower change. I feel honored to provide a warm, safe, and compassionate therapeutic space for clients to share their story and truly feel heard. It is my belief that clients are the experts on their relationships, health, emotions, and body, and based on this I understand the importance of tailoring my work to the client's individual need.

I am passionate about working with people in the areas of anxiety, life adjustments, relational problems, trauma, self esteem, making the most of life, parenting emotional children, and more. My counseling style is warm, supportive, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with compassion and sensitivity. I orient my clinical services with an eclectic mix of modalities, based on each client’s needs, including attachment theory, cognitive behavioral (CBT), solution-focused, narrative, holistic, mindfulness, somatic (mind-body), and more.

It takes courage to take the leap to ask for help to make the changes to create a happy, satisfying life. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Andrea Patten. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

I am terrified of going to therapy in person but I knew I needed help so I decided to try BetterHelp. In just a few weeks, Andrea has proven to be very invaluable to me as a counselor. She's responsive, non-judgmental and extremely caring.
