Latonya Patterson
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care for adults. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and trauma, as well as stress and life transitions.
My strengths include treating anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, and trauma-related conditions with a thoughtful, individualized approach.
I offer personalized medication management and supportive therapy using a collaborative, whole-person approach. My goal is to help you feel balanced, focused, and empowered to improve your mental health and overall quality of life.
First session
Your first session is a supportive, judgment-free space where we focus on understanding your mental health concerns and goals. We’ll complete a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, including your history, symptoms, lifestyle, and any past treatments. I’ll answer your questions and, if appropriate, discuss diagnosis and medication management options in a clear, collaborative way. Together, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan focused on symptom relief, improved functioning, and long-term wellness. You’ll leave with clarity, next steps, and a provider who is invested in your care.
Strengths
I provide patient-centered, evidence-based psychiatric care that blends medication management with supportive therapy. My strengths include treating anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, and trauma-related conditions with a thoughtful, individualized approach. I prioritize clear communication, education, and shared decision-making so you feel confident in your treatment plan. Clients value my ability to listen deeply while offering practical tools and effective solutions. My goal is to help you achieve symptom stability, emotional resilience, and lasting mental wellness in a way that fits your life.
Ideal clients
I work best with individuals who are motivated for self-exploration and open to growth, even if they feel uncertain about where to begin. Many of my clients are navigating anxiety, stress, or life transitions—such as career changes, relationship challenges, or shifts in identity—and are seeking greater clarity, balance, and emotional resilience. I’m especially well-suited to support people who feel overwhelmed, stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand, or disconnected from themselves or others. My ideal clients are curious about their inner world and willing to engage in a collaborative process to build insight, develop coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. Together, we focus on helping clients better understand their thoughts and emotions, strengthen their sense of self, and move toward a life that feels more aligned, grounded, and fulfilling.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. In our work together, we identify unhelpful thought patterns, build practical coping skills, and develop healthier ways of responding to stress, anxiety, depression, and life challenges. My approach to CBT is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to each client’s goals, helping them create meaningful and lasting change both in and outside of sessions.
