Quandus Patterson, Pre Licensed Counselor (Located in Massachusetts and Pennsylvania)

I have experience assisting individuals dealing with depression, trauma, PTSD, anxiety, grief, substance abuse, and relationship conflicts. I provide services to individuals, groups, and families ranging from ages 5 to 65+. My various theoretical and therapeutic techniques allow me to address the needs of each client. I believe there is a solution for every problem, getting help is the first step to resolving it.

I want my clients to  believe they are worthy of being in a healthy, loving relationships!

I believe a good match between therapist and client is a large part of what makes therapy work. I have a caring, gentle approach and I focus on building strengths and addressing past traumas. . I tend to tailor treatment to address what the client is struggling most with, whether that is symptoms, interpersonal issues, or past traumatic events.

I can take on a person-centered approach and use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I would use therapeutic approaches that encourage my client to implement exercise, to socialize with friends and family members, and to journal.
