Patience Dennison

None of us has to have it all figured out all of the time. Reaching out for support is a sign of true strength. Maybe you’re living a smaller life than you would like, stopping yourself short of taking risks because of fears or certain beliefs about yourself. Maybe you’re finding yourself in the same unhealthy patterns despite trying over and over again to carve a new path. Maybe you’re grappling with a new change in your life and having a hard time finding your footing. I help people who feel stuck explore these painful patterns and struggles with fresh eyes, to both better understand them and work toward a sense of traction. I draw upon multiple treatment models, including Acceptance & Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, to help people develop new ways to handle difficult thoughts and feelings so that they are no longer held back by them and have more energy to pursue those endeavors that make their lives feel rich and full. Beyond issues related to depression, anxiety, and life transitions, I also have special interest and expertise in grief work. During times of devastating loss, some may feel lost and unmoored, unsure how to move forward. I help people find ways to honor their loved ones, cope with the variety of feelings that may surface, heal from regrets and unresolved issues in their relationship, and pick up the pieces so that they begin to feel grounded once again. Regardless of what brings you to therapy and your specific hopes for our work together, my priority is creating a warm, safe space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered to move forward in your life. I invite you to reach out for support.
