Patricia Whitaker
Hi! I am a compassionate and dedicated professional with a dual role as a Licensed Therapist in Pennsylvania and a High School Counselor. With a combination of my 10 years of experience in this field and my personal experiences together they have fueled my commitment to providing holistic support for individuals facing unique challenges. Throughout my decade-long career, I've specialized in trauma-informed care, anxiety, depression, and career challenges to address the unique hurdles individuals face. Whether in a one-on-one counseling session or guiding students through the challenges of adolescence. I am dedicated to fostering growth, resilience, and a sense of belonging.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session will be about establishing a connection, understanding your needs, and setting the stage for your therapeutic journey ahead. During this time feel free to express any concerns or questions you may have, and we'll work together to create a supportive and effective therapeutic experience.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a provider, I bring a unique blend of qualities and experiences that I believe contribute to my effectiveness in supporting individuals on their mental health journey. I am committed to creating a space where individuals from diverse backgrounds feel seen, heard, and respected. This allows me to appreciate the nuances of each client's experience and adapt my approach accordingly. Compassion is at the core of my therapeutic practice; I approach each client with empathy and a genuine desire to understand their unique struggles and aspirations. I recognize the power of active listening in fostering a strong therapeutic alliance. I strive to create a space where clients feel genuinely heard and understood.

Compassion Focused
My journey as a therapist has been deeply influenced by a deep belief in the power of compassion. I understand that life can present numerous challenges, that lead to struggles with self-esteem, shame, anxiety, and other emotional difficulties. My therapeutic approach centers around creating a safe and supportive space where individuals can explore and navigate these challenges with compassion and understanding.
Grief Therapy
I understand that grief is a deeply personal journey, and each person's experience is unique. Drawing from my own experiences and professional training, I approach grief counseling with empathy, sensitivity, and a commitment that creates a safe space for clients to explore their emotions.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
In our sessions, the focus is fully on you and your journey. I believe that you are the expert on your own life, and my role as your therapist is to provide a supportive and empathetic environment where you can navigate challenges and work towards your personal goals. The person-centered approach that I provide values authenticity and self-exploration.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I specialize in working with individuals facing challenges such as relationship issues, work-related stress, and personal development. Whether you're navigating a specific issue or seeking personal growth, my solution-focused approach is designed to help you clarify your goals and execute effective strategies for positive change.
Trauma Informed Care
In our sessions, I incorporate trauma-informed care principles to inspire individuals to understand and navigate the effects of trauma on their lives. This approach involves creating a culture of safety, transparency and promoting trust. I work with clients to develop coping strategies, build a sense of self-compassion, and to aid in the integration of traumatic experiences that will yield into a story of resilience.
