A genuine and progressive therapist with real world experience. Authenticity. Self-acceptance. Empathy. Mutual trust and respect. These are the cornerstones of my approach! Not ready to book a session? Learn more about me on Instagram @patricelcsw or Psychology Today (https://www.psychologytoday.com/profile/1077447). Send me a message and we'll chat to see if we're a good fit. I embrace an affirming approach to therapy which includes validation and advocacy across the spectrum of gender identity and sexual orientation. As a Racial Justice Ally, I make efforts to open up healing discussions around race in therapy and take a de-centering approach to addressing the impact of racial injustice in our society. You are the expert in your own life experiences. I will listen and explore in a way that creates a safe space for healing and diving deeper into what weighs you down. My aim is to empower you, helping you tap into your inner strength and wisdom. Your journey towards resilience is a personal one, and I am here to support you in uncovering the strength that has always resided within you. With over two decades of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the field of mental health. I am well-versed in various Evidence Based Treatment Models. Healing is not one size fits all. So, we will work together to find the approach that fits you.
I want to know what is important to you. What are your values and priorities? What is getting in the way of those priorities? How can I help you feel safe? What are your past experiences with therapy? What has worked and what hasn't?
My greatest strength is in holding space for you. My insight, intuition and emotional connection to the human experience allows me to create a safe space for the unsafe parts of our experiences to be resolved.
Patrice Rotolo offers therapy covered by UnitedHealthcare/Optum - Medicaid in Florida.
My world view is progressive and intersectional taking into account how each unique person engages with the world around them.
I incorporate CBT techniques into a person-centered and trauma-informed approach to helping individuals grow and heal through their experiences.
As a certified practitioner, I apply the TF-CBT model as well as Childhood Traumatic Greif and Post Traumatic Growth techniques to assist with trauma processing and enhancing resilience.
Incorporated into this journey is recognizing the connection between physical and emotional wellness. Recognizing this interaction can open tremendous opportunities for healing.
Through Motivational Interviewing, we will collaboratively explore what drives you and how we can help you achieve goals that align with your values.
