Billi Patzius

Compassionate and experienced Licensed Professional Counselor with over 25 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, families, and adults with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and behavioral challenges.

Skilled in play therapy, CBT, person-centered, and strengths-based approaches. Dedicated to creating safe, collaborative spaces for healing and growth. Also experienced as an educator, administrator, and wellness advocate.

During the first counseling session, clients can expect a warm, welcoming environment where they are encouraged to share at their own pace. The session typically focuses on getting to know one another, discussing what brings them to counseling, and identifying their goals and expectations for therapy. I’ll ask some background questions to understand their unique experiences and needs better, while also explaining my approach, confidentiality, and what the therapeutic process entails. This initial conversation sets the foundation for a supportive, collaborative relationship where clients can feel safe, heard, and respected.
