Patricia Lord, LPC, LCPC
About me
I believe everyone has a unique story and it is in sharing these stories that I can offer empathy and hope to my clients. I received my Masters of Arts in Marriage, Couple and Family Counseling and my certification as a Play Therapist, and work extensively with adolescents, teens and young adults.
My experience includes working with all ages and stages of divorce, co-parenting and step parenting relationships, grief and loss, anxiety, stress and depression, trauma, domestic violence and self harming behaviors. My work also includes assisting with behavioral, adjustment and attachment issues. With teens I have worked with self harm (non-suicidal), divorce of parents, adjustment disorder, depression, anxiety, handling expectations in a healthy way, understanding boundaries, among other things. I utilize therapy modalities and treatment approaches including client-focused, experiential, mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapies.
I am committed to my client and the therapeutic process of helping them achieve their goals and gain satisfaction and joy in all aspects of their lives.

I feel like I have gotten the support I needed, but have had an overall good experience with it and will be starting again if necessary.

She cares for me and wants what is best for me. She is very helpful and is a partner with me in improving my mental and physical health.

Patricia has been very helpful to me over the years. We have reached the point where constant therapy is not needed so I'm not in contact with her for a while but then contact her for a short time when I need a "second opinion". It's a definite comfort knowing she is there when I need her.

This was my first therapy experience and it has been a great one. I always feel better once I’m done with my sessions, but I also always have tools to use and work through my temporary circumstances. Meeting with Pati feels like laying on a cool pillow after a long day. And she also holds me accountable and I appreciate it. I have no complaints at all.

It's good to feel heard and not treated like a textbook issue. Thank you.
