Patricia Black

In a session with me as your counselor, what you see is what you get. I model authenticity by being present with my clients. You’ll find me to be compassionate, empathetic, perseverant, and even silly at times. I’m a strong believer in the power of talk therapy to ‘get the poison out’ – poison in the form of fear, anxiety, depression, worry, and feeling stuck. I will help you improve your self-esteem, enhance your communication skills, and manage your emotions more effectively.

I use a Solution Focused and Sex Positive approach. I believe that all people have the strengths within themselves to solve their own issues. I’m not there to tell you what to do – I’m there to guide you through this process. We all have the strength to create fulfilling lives and satisfying intimate relationships, by working to eliminate the elements of fear, shame, and judgement from our lives and become our most authentic selves.

A sense of empowerment, an understanding of their strengths, and the feeling of being heard and understood, as well as a feeling of support and guidance toward solving their own problems.
