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.
