Patricia Woods

My clients describe me as:

Easy to talk to and relate to, friendly, down to earth. Honest and caring, direct and respectful. They feel heard, validated, valued.

Something to know about my approach is:

We clarify your goals in therapy, develop greater understanding of your thoughts-feelings-behaviors. We slow down your thoughts-create space to explore alternative ways of seeing situations- experiment with new ways of responding-interrupt patterns.

Together, we will:

Move beyond venting and create real change in your life. Be more in control of your emotions, handle stressful situations more effectively, increase self confidence, decisiveness, experience greater satisfaction and ease with yourself and your life.

I specialize in working with people who:

Are experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship bumps, childhood issues, social anxiety, difficulty managing emotions, conflict avoidance, feeling stuck. I integrate traditional therapy skills as well as breathing/relaxation/mindfulness skills.
