Celina Patterson

Celina Patterson

Therapist

Virtual • New York


Hi my name is Celina Patterson. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 8 years of experience working with teens, adults, BIPOC clients, and educators navigating trauma, anxiety, or depression. Many of my clients have held it together for so long that they don't know how to put it down — and reaching out for support takes real courage. As someone who has also worked full-time in a school setting for years, I have a deep understanding of the compassion fatigue that comes with caring for others professionally, and I hold particular space for educators and school staff. I offer a judgment-free space where you are seen, heard, and valued.

Therapy should be a space where you feel truly seen and understood. Many people find that traditional talk therapy stays at the surface, focused on venting rather than real change. But lasting growth comes from exploring the deeper patterns behind your emotions and behaviors. These often stem from past experiences and shape how you see yourself and relate to others. In our sessions, I create a safe, collaborative space to uncover and work through what’s holding you back so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and self-understanding.

What is most important to my client is most important to me. I strive to help clients feel safe, heard, and empowered to navigate whatever life handles them.
