Patricia Ductan, LMHC

I’m a licensed mental health counselor with a passion for helping clients achieve the growth and confidence they desire to tackle and handle life’s problems. I have a great deal of experience working with children and adolescents, in addition to adults. My practice has centered on empowering clients to increase agency in decision making and implementing changes that have a long-term positive impact. I’ve worked with a variety of challenges such as couples counseling, relationship/family communication, employment stressors, mental health concerns, academic struggles, and overall adjustments to life changes. I’ve worked in diversified settings such as community mental health, college counseling, care management, and primary care. I employ various therapeutic modalities based on client need, such as CBT, psychodynamic theory, person-centered therapy, Gestalt, and trauma work. My diverse background has led to increased understanding of different socioeconomic backgrounds and their complexities. I’m culturally sensitive and have worked with all, regardless of culture, orientation, gender, or identity.

How I stay healthy and happy
I like to go on long walks, spend time with family, and learn new things to stay happy and healthy.
