Patty Dumont, LCSW

I think we all start out in this field wanting to help others but I have found in my work over the years that it is a privilege to be able to walk alongside people during some of their most difficult times as well as equipping them with the tools they need. I take very seriously the trust that is placed in me. My goal is to not only develop a therapeutic relationship but to provide a space in which you feel safe exploring the presenting issues. There is no one approach that will be effective with everyone, as therapy is tailored to your specific need. Whether you are facing depression, anxiety, loss, or any of the many stressors that many people face throughout their life, my purpose is to walk with you in reaching your goals. Therapy can be challenging, but my goal is to work with you in developing a plan that will allow you to reach the goals you have. I will work with you to determine your goals and do so through evidenced based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Solutions Focused Therapy. I have experience working with primarily ages 12 and up in a variety of settings both inpatient and outpatient as well as crisis intervention. I have a great passion for adolescents and the unique challenges they face. I have also worked within both Acute and Palliative Care, giving me a unique perspective and understanding of the importance of an integrative approach that I carry with me in all my work. We all face challenges throughout our lives, myself included, but that is in part one of the many reasons I have such passion for the work I do. The first step is reaching out, from there we can work together to address whatever you may be facing. I look forward to having the privilege to assist you in achieving your goals, whatever they may be, as well as overall wellness
