In addition to therapy, I have a strong background in psychological assessment and offer ADHD evaluations for adults who are concerned about their symptoms and wonder if a diagnosis of ADHD may have been missed earlier in life.
I create a space that feels safe, encouraging, and collaborative so that you can explore your life experiences and feel supported in moving toward a healthy and vibrant life. Therapy is a place to learn and try out new skills, such as managing difficult emotions or improving communication. Therapy is also a space in which people can feel deeply heard and connected, and I believe a strong relationship between a therapist and client can be profoundly helpful when going through a period of healing and growth.

I specialize in working with neurodivergent individuals, parents of neurodivergent kids, social anxiety, and midlife transitions.

My counseling style is warm, empathetic, honest, and direct. You can expect it to be goal-oriented, with plenty of space for processing emotions. I use a holistic approach, knowing that people learn and grow in different ways. We work as a team to heal old patterns and develop new skills. I offer Safe and Sound Protocol.

I see both first responders as well as non first responders in my practice. I find that one of the most important elements to good therapy is a good match between the therapist and client. I encourage anyone looking into therapy to schedule a free consultation call to ensure that we are a good match! It may also help to listen to a few of my podcast episodes to get a feel for my personality and approaches to treatment. I work with young adults (16 and up) as well as adults to help process trauma, anxiety, depression, and social and relational issues.

Hey bestie! I'm Saira Patino, but you can call me your mental health cheerleader! As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California, I’ve been dedicated to this field since earning my master’s in social work from Edinboro University in 2017. Honestly, helping people navigate life’s ups and downs is kinda my thing. I love helping young adults navigate the tough transition to adulthood, especially without a solid support system. Many of my clients are figuring out their next steps while handling mental health challenges, which is rough. But don't worry because I'm here for you and I gotchu! (I tend to say this a lot in session lol).

I have effectively provided support to individuals dealing with a partner's addiction, single parents of children with disabilities, and young adults transitioning from the foster care system.
Throughout my life, I have noticed that I draw people to me that have struggled with a history of having instability in their childhoods. What this has looked like is individuals who have had rough childhoods and are now trying to create a better future for themselves and their children. This can be very challenging when you're building a new life and are still carrying the hurt and pain from not feeling cared for or heard as a child. The goal for these individuals is thriving in their lives by having healthy coping skills and healthy relationships.

For over thirty years, I have worked with children, adolescents, young and mature adults in a safe and warm environment, utilizing various therapeutic approaches tailored to meet individual needs.
We live our lives in search of happiness, fulfillment, enrichment, and balance through our relationships, families, jobs and career. These areas can become demanding, stressful and even overwhelming. We face challenging situations of life transitions, grief and loss, family dynamics, trauma and abuse. As a result, we experience symptoms of depression, anxiety, anger, and other moods. This is a good time to consider seeking professional help. The journey of psychotherapy can be challenging, yet it is often healing and rewarding.

I connect well with some teens and most adults or couples. I find I work best with people who are invested in understanding why they feel as they do, or why they do what they do, and want a collaborative partner in exploring how to better manage the stressors in their life, whether internal or inter-relational. I have a background in anger management, which can often address problems of the underlying emotions, and help with communications skills. I tend to conceptualize from a psychodynamic perspective and educate my patients about these ideas when I think it will prove helpful.

I am also a United States Army Combat Veteran, and a father who knows what it is like to put other people's needs before your own. It takes time, exploration, and effort to learn a new way of looking at yourself. It takes time to see what is on the other side of the coin.

I utilize hope, humor, faith, and optimism, along with CBT, Narrative, and Client Centered therapeutic practices in treatment with older adolescents (15 - 17 years old) and transitional aged young adults (18 - 25 years old).
Are you feeling stuck in unwanted thoughts, habits, and behaviors that don’t align with the person or future you’ve envisioned for yourself? These challenges, coupled with daily stressors, and unexpected changes, may have you feeling as if you're unable to catch your breath or find your footing. You may notice you feel more overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, or dissatisfied with the direction of your life. You may even be telling yourself that it’s best to go it alone due to worry of being misunderstood, fear that your problems would be a burden to others, or that your circumstances are “unfixable”, despite your best efforts.

My approach is based Attachment theory which highlights each person’s need for safe human connections and the roles our early caregiver relationships play in how we know, respect and understand ourselves and others as adults.
Times of change, and in particular, starting a family and raising children, can be incredibly fulfilling. It can also be overwhelming. It’s normal to need extra help, and sometimes it can be difficult to identify what "help" actually looks like. Just being heard and appreciated for how much you are doing and what you are going through can be transformative, and can clear the path to identifying unmet needs and wants. We can sort through all of this in our work together.
