“Even injustice has it’s good points. It gives me the challenge of being as happy as I can in an unfair world.”
— Albert Ellis
In a current world of uncertainty, emotions are running high, mental health is being pressed, and hopelessness is running wild; we are our own solution. Thank you for visiting my page! Below you will find a few things about me and my background.
Who I am
My name is Patricia Viscaino, but you can call me Patty! Born and raised in Texas, one would think I’d be the outdoorsy type, but I am far from it. On my days off, I allow myself to completely unwind and become one with the couch! I am a show binge watcher, so naturally my family and pets are too!
Education and Certifications:
- BA of Psychology
- The University of Texas at San Antonio
- MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling
- National Board of Certified Counselors
- NCC American Counseling Association
How I work
Treatment plans will always be tailored to each individual through the collaboration between clinician and client. How else can therapy work without a strong foundation between client and counselor?! I believe Person centered therapy is at the forefront of counseling due to the fact that humans possess an inbuilt disposition for fulfillment, growth, and acceptance. Another therapeutic approach I work with are the cognition-based therapies, rational emotive behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Cognition is a fundamental element of humanity. Distorted perceptions of reality can hinder our growth, thus creating maladaptive behaviors; which I love to challenge.
