Patricio Armendariz

Hola. ¡Yo hablo Español! I am of the belief that people have their own strengths, and that with some planning and a compassionate ear, they are able to use them in times when life throws them challenges. Learning what hidden strengths you have and being able to use them to overcome big hardships and everyday struggles is one of my main goals when working with folks. I am also passionate about creating a space where you feel safe and brave enough to explore what those strengths might be, and develop the skills to best use them. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience in practicing Strength-Based, Person-Centered, culturally and trauma-informed approaches to therapy. I can also adopt many other tools from different approaches, such as CBT, DBT skills, mindfulness skills, Narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, and others to best create a plan that is right for you. I also have experience in working with anxiety, grief and loss, PTSD and other stressors to traumatic events, racial trauma, anger, depression, cultural identity exploration, self-esteem, and major life transitions. I also have a particular passion for serving Latino/Latina/Latinx individuals and families.
