Patricia Schultz

I am a licensed a Clinical Psychologist whose approach to therapy is collaborative, non-judgmental, direct, and warm. I strive to create a space where individuals can better understand themselves, their emotions, interpersonal relationships and, consequently, live a more fulfilling life.
I work with young adults who are experiencing emotional distress (such as anxiety and depression), grief and loss, relationship issues, or going through life changes (for example, dislocation, career decisions, starting college, health issues). I have interest and experience with identity-based work (for example, sexual orientation, acculturation, self-discovery) and women’s health issues. Additionally, I have experience and training in academic mental health settings and enjoy working with college students, graduate students, and medical professionals. I welcome and value working with people from a wide variety of backgrounds, races, orientations, and beliefs.
The basis of my work emphasizes relationships (including the client-therapist relationship), exploration of how your past experiences influence your present (for example, the present issues bringing you to therapy), and increased connection with yourself and your emotions. When appropriate, I integrate different modalities (for example, psycho-dynamic, client-centered, cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness-based, dialectical-behavioral, and health psychology) to tailor the treatment to your needs.
During our work, I will aim to help you be curious about yourself and support your growth towards healthier self-regulation, self-direction and relationships.
