My name is Sarah Patterson-Mills and I am a licensed professional counselor. My doctoral degree is counseling and family therapy. I like to use post-modern approaches with clients that provoke active thinking and synergy in their lives. Trained early post-Master's with Cognitive Behavioral Theory and later with systems thinking. Holistically, I take into account the clients' multiple contexts in which they live and work. I have additional training in career counseling strategies, also. Highly collaborative. I don't have a magic wand and I believe that ultimately, you are the expert and have the solutions. I'm here to help you find them, verbalize and enact them into being. I like to gather a little history. I typically start with a genogram which looks at you within your current inter-generational line. If this is unavailable, we fill in what we can and begin identifying goals for you.
