Sally Patton

As a licensed therapist for over 20 years, I have worked with a wide variety of clients & settings, some of which were via outpatient behavioral health agencies, home & school-based, & military service members/families, both in the US & overseas. I was not initially prepared to embrace teletherapy but have found that I am able to work more flexibly & effectively with a broad range of motivated clients in an environment in which we are both comfortable, while not compromising on quality or care.

In addition to assisting clients with their presenting issues I also help to identify potential underlying factors that may have contributed to their lack of lasting progress. I value meeting clients where they are, really hearing the complexity of their unique experience, and regularly check-in to see if they feel comfortable with the direction of our work together.

Feedback most often highlighted in client reviews of my work with them has been that I am a perceptive listener, non-judgmental and very engaged. I make an intentional effort to meet client individual expectations, challenging & giving clients "homework" in-between sessions, or moving at a slower pace. Clients often report they developed trust and comfort with me faster than they expected.
