About Patricia
Patricia Brickman is a licensed mental health counselor who began providing individual therapy in 2018. She holds a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Northwest University and brings three years of direct clinical therapy experience to her practice. Patricia tends to focus on young adults and emphasizes practical steps people can use right away.
She has worked across inpatient psychiatric settings, residential eating disorder treatment, and outpatient clinics. That background gives her experience with depression, anxiety, trauma, eating-related concerns, and mood disorders. Patricia often helps people dealing with relationship strain, self-esteem and body image issues, parenting stress, postpartum concerns, and life transitions.
Her approach centers on listening and on collaboration. She uses client-centered methods that let people set the pace and focus of sessions. Patricia pairs that with attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape choices and feelings.
She also draws on mindfulness practices to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations without getting overwhelmed. Cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical behavioral skills are used to build coping tools and change unhelpful patterns.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Patricia helps people map small, achievable steps toward clearer goals. The work is grounded in everyday language and concrete strategies rather than technical jargon.
