Marie Van Patten

Hello, my name is Marie Van Patten and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I am deeply empathetic and I am here to guide you on your path towards healing. The bravest thing you will ever do is to ask for help because it shows you refuse to give up. I am trained, licensed, and ready to help you with my expertise. I specialize in trauma and working with clients with PTSD but I have worked with every type of client you can imagine. I see you. I know you're in pain. I can help you take control of your emotions and your life. I use evidence-based practice to help you figure out what's getting in the way of your 'life worth living' .

I use a technique called the "Control Center" to help you regulate your emotions, trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy, Narrative therapy/letter writing, and many other modalities to help you release the trauma of your past.

You can expect to create a list of short term and long-term goals in the first session.
