More about Patricia
- 21 years' experience

- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in New York, I bring over two decades of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenges like depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and trauma with compassion and cultural sensitivity.
I specialize in addressing social anxiety, personality disorders, couple discord, substance use disorders, domestic /community violence, suicidal ideation connected to depression, racial discrimination, grief/loss , communication difficulties in spaces, post-traumatic stress, and helping individuals rebuild after significant life transitions/events. My approach emphasizes self-love, personal empowerment, and developing healthy coping strategies.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a warm, affirming therapeutic environment where clients can explore their experiences, heal from past wounds, and cultivate meaningful personal growth. I am committed to understanding each person's unique journey and supporting them with respect, understanding, and professional expertise.
As a Black woman therapist, I bring cultural insight and a deep understanding of diverse lived experiences to my practice. I welcome clients seeking a faith-informed therapeutic approach and am fluent in both English and Haitian Creole.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
