Patricia Israel is a licensed therapist with experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families affected by trauma, attachment disruptions, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, behavioral concerns, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Her clinical approach is trauma-informed and attachment-focused, emphasizing emotional regulation, resilience, and the development of healthy, supportive relationships.
Patricia utilizes evidence-based interventions including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, family systems approaches, and strengths-based treatment. Through Narrative Therapy, she helps clients explore the stories they have developed about themselves and their experiences, identify strengths and resilience, and create more hopeful and empowering narratives that support healing and growth. Through ACT, Patricia helps clients develop psychological flexibility, learn new ways of relating to difficult thoughts and emotions, and take meaningful action aligned with their values.
She strives to provide a collaborative and supportive therapeutic environment where clients can process difficult experiences, strengthen relationships, build effective coping skills, and achieve meaningful, lasting change. For clients who desire it, Patricia also offers faith-based counseling that integrates Christian principles and spiritual resources into the therapeutic process, recognizing faith as a potential source of hope, healing, and resilience.
Patricia’s goal is to help clients move beyond surviving toward thriving by fostering greater emotional well-being, stronger relationships, and a renewed sense of purpose and meaning.
