Saira Patino

Hey bestie!💛 I’m Saira Patino—your mental health cheerleader and Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Since getting my MSW from Edinboro University in 2017, I’ve been helping mujeres like you handle life’s chaos with care, humor, and real talk. If you're struggling with anxiety, depression, burnout, identity stuff, or just feeling stuck, you're not alone. I work with Latinas from all walks of life—college students, working moms, first-gen professionals—who are carrying a lot on their shoulders. And let’s be real, navigating life while dealing with mental health challenges and cultural expectations? That ish is hard. But I gotchu!.

I’ve been working in mental health since 2010 and shifted into clinical therapy in 2019, stacking up over 3,200 hours of supervised training along the way—so yes, I know my stuff. But don’t expect a stiff, clipboard-holding therapist who acts like they’ve got it all figured out. That’s not my vibe. I’m casual, real, and I like to keep it light when I can. Talking to me is more like chatting with your homegirl—someone who truly listens, keeps it 100, and makes space for both deep convos and a few laughs. I’m all about creating a chill, judgment-free zone where you can show up exactly as you are.

In our first session, we’ll take some time to get to know each other. Don’t stress if it’s your first time—I actually love working with therapy newbies because I get to set the bar pretty high! I’ll walk you through how therapy works, go over expectations and policies, and start exploring what’s bringing you in. No pressure to spill it all at once—we’ll go at your pace, and I’ll make sure you feel supported every step of the way.
