I am a mother, sister, daughter, wife, stepmother, mother-in-law, grandmother, divorcee, widow, and friend. I come to this work as well experienced in life as in training. I did my undergraduate work in Speech Pathology/Audiology and Psychology and my graduate degree is in Counseling Psychology, with a specialty in Marriage Family Therapy. I have additional training in Cognitive Behavior, Family Systems, Grief and Trauma, Narrative, and Mindfulness therapies. I use an integrative approach to treatment, based on the client’s needs and presenting issues.
After many years as a school guidance counselor at a top ten, college prep institution, well known for its extreme academic rigor and competitive admissions, I am intimately familiar with the inherent stressors endured by parents, families, and individuals in these performance-driven, high pressure environments. In my private practice, I have enjoyed a broader, more eclectic client base, particularly working with adults in their late twenties, thirties and forties who are coping with difficult life transitions, relational issues at home or work, and people managing significant health problems, anxiety, depression and loss. I have strengths in parenting and co-parenting support, screen/tech/phone addictions, ADHD, and managing high-risk adolescent behaviors.
I am privileged and humbled to do psychotherapy with my clients and I deeply respect the courage and vulnerability it requires of them to do good work. I am a warm, friendly, outgoing person and I actively engage with clients in the therapeutic process. I believe it helps (all of us) to have a sense of humor, acknowledge our humanity, and celebrate that even the smallest adjustment can effect change and improve quality of life.

Ms. Hamilton has been a wealth of support and knowledge. I’m not sure how many ways my situation differs from anyone else’s but she draws upon her experience and offers a practical and reasonable way to relook at difficult issues.

when i started i wasn't in a good place and was hesitant about counseling and didn't think it was going to be much of a difference but when i was matched with Ms. Hamilton i realized i made a good decision to seek help. i went through many traumatic experiences growing up and ms. hamilton was kind and understanding but she really helped me see things in a new perspective by telling me what i needed to hear not what i wanted to hear and i appreciated that

Patricia is very caring, friendly and all around the greatest therapist I’ve had. She takes the time to really listen and process the issues I’m going through. If there’s a weird or unusual topic I’m dealing with, she goes above and beyond to search for solutions. We’ve been doing therapy for a few months now and have made great progress.

Patricia is phenomenal and extremely intuitive. She takes a genuine investment in getting to know you as a person. She remembers details of your past conversations as if she’s an old friend who has been with you through it all. It makes talking with her super comfortable and natural. I’m am so grateful for her guidance and support!

Patricia has been helping me understand my issues. She's been helping me a lot and I think she can make me understand myself.
Written on Jul 19, 2019 after therapy with Patricia for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, lgbt, grief, intimacy-related issues, and sleeping disorders
My situation seemed so different before I began working with Pat she’s there completely. She’s giving me different ways to cope and or approach the same situation and actually get a different response from a situation that had me feeling trapped. She gives me ways to keep me healthy and making sure I’m taking care of me. I’m so relieved to have found BetterHelp but mostly that they were able to get me to Pat, that will continue to help me find me again.
