About Patricia
Patricia Curran is a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 36 years of practice. She meets people where they are and listens first to understand what is most troubling. Her approach is straightforward and respectful, aimed at helping people find clearer choices and calmer days.
She draws on a mix of methods rather than one fixed system. That means sessions may include steps to shift unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and practice new ways to cope with strong feelings. Patricia emphasizes collaboration - work happens together and at a pace that feels doable.
Her long career includes work in outpatient and inpatient settings and in confinement settings, which gives her a wide view of how people cope with stress and life transitions. She often helps people facing depression, anxiety, grief, and major life changes. She also addresses relationship strain, addiction concerns, caregiver stress, and issues that arise with aging or serious illness.
In a typical session Patricia listens closely, asks focused questions, and offers practical strategies to try between meetings. She encourages building small routines, practicing new skills, and noticing what changes help. Her goal is to help people find clearer direction and better daily functioning.
