Hello, my name is Patricia Bevan, and I believe meeting each person where they are and incorporating treatment modalities best suited to that individual's needs and personality, including EMDR.
My approach
I use evidence-based therapy techniques combined with warmth, compassion, and sometimes a bit of humor to help you meet your goals.
My focus
I have extensive professional experience working with adults, children, and families. I enjoy working with people from different backgrounds to help them discover their true selves and overcome the obstacles that may obscure their journey to happiness and self-fulfillment.
My communication style
Everyone needs an objective person to help support and guide them through life’s challenges and transitions. I believe the most important aspect of therapy is a trusting, nonjudgmental, and compassionate relationship with your therapist; therapy should feel safe and provide you with relief. I also work well with clients who feel comfortable with using humor and limited self-disclosure by the therapist.
My journey to therapy
I have always found human behavior interesting. I love getting to know people and listening to their life stories. I find it very rewarding to empower people to achieve their best, support them through their personal challenges, as well as help ease emotional burdens.
My goals for you
My philosophical framework includes meeting each person where they are and incorporating treatment modalities best suited to that individual's needs and personality.
My first session with you
I enjoy providing a safe place for clients to share their stories, identify their strengths and enhance them, and find new, positive communication and coping skills to better handle challenges.
