Throughout our lives, we all have experienced feelings of depression, anxiety, and anger. These emotions leave you feeling insecure, shameful, lonely, unworthy and stuck in unhealthy patterns of behavior. Trauma can have negative emotional and physical effects and can lead to family/ relationship issues. I specialize in solution-focused brief therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness and CBT. These approaches allow me to work with the client to decrease symptoms of anxiety and depression and other health/behavioral issues.

My areas of focus include substance abuse, addictions, co-dependency, domestic violence, trauma, mood disorders, relationship issues, anger management, adjustment issues, and parenting.
Life can be challenging and sometimes we need support to navigate our way. Whether you are stuck in a pattern that is no longer working for you, facing a new challenge, or wanting to improve the quality of your life and relationships, I offer a supportive, yet direct approach to therapy.

I have expertise in relationship/family dynamics & attachment issues.
Do you feel as though your anxiety and depression are unmanageable? How about feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or helplessness like you’ve hit rock bottom and are struggling to find hope for tomorrow? Once we start to unravel the details of our past and trauma we give ourselves the ability to process feelings that we have long suppressed. I aim to collaborate with you and provide tools to decrease the challenging feelings you are currently facing and achieve a more integrated and balanced sense of self, leading to emotional healing and personal growth.

The best predictor of success in therapy is the relationship built between the client and the therapist. I create an environment where you will experience unconditional acceptance and a safe place to share your thoughts and feelings. Over the course of therapy, you will feel more confident in yourself, your decisions and build healthy coping skills. For 15 years I have helped my clients cope with a variety of issues including: depression, anxiety, parenting, divorce, affairs, eating disorders, relationships, communication, grief and loss, setting appropriate boundaries, increased self-confidence and self-esteem.

Hello! I’m Patricia Toscano. I am a Marriage and Family Therapist. I’ve been providing counseling to BIPOC for the past 12 years. When I first began my career, I never thought I’d become an expert at trauma, violence, and relationship issues. My career path has afforded me the privilege to help people with intimate relationship issues and concerns with violence and trauma. My ability to be fluent in Spanish and to understand the various factors related to the living experience of BIPOC has granted me the opportunity to guide my client’s in a better understanding of their lives and to help them come to a resolution.

I specialize in relationship issues, couples work, anxiety, depression, trauma (particularly relational trauma, childhood trauma, and medical trauma), and grief and loss.
Therapy can feel daunting. What should I talk about? What if I’m not sure where to start? What if nothing big happened this week? In the space we create together, you get to be exactly who you are, where you are, and with whatever you bring to the table. As human beings, we all have basic needs that include safety, belonging, and connection. When our needs aren’t being met, it can feel difficult to break unhelpful patterns or make positive change. You might be experiencing negative self talk, unhelpful patterns of thought or behavior, symptoms of depression or anxiety, or problems in your relationships. I'm here to help!

If you're ready to improve your relationship, call me today to schedule a free 20-min consult! I would love to hear about what is bringing you into therapy, what you want to work on, and answer any questions you may have about the process.
Have your attempts to create a better relationship left you feeling more disconnected than before? Those trusted ideas from Instagram and TikTok reels, the blogs found through Googling "ways to improve my relationship," and attempts to try talking to your partner about relationship frustrations just aren't helping. The difference between a conversation and conflict feels blurred, and it's almost expected that talking about hard topics will lead to misunderstandings. Having conversations that lead to connection versus loneliness takes skills - ones that no one has probably ever taught you before. What could those skills even be?

My goal is to help gain self-awareness and healthy boundaries in the relationship.
Do you have trouble with anxiety, depression, and relationship/family issues due to trauma? Past experiences can create imprints onto your brain that activate your fight/flight responses whenever your emotions feel dysregulated, but life without the constant feeling of being on edge is possible. Those traumatic memories don’t have to permanently influence who you are meant to be. Through therapy, you will gain control of your feelings/thoughts and your response to everyday life hurdles. Healing from trauma can create healthier beliefs about yourself and your relationships along with sustainable changes.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
