Counseling for Gen X
Meet Patricia
Gen X Therapist | Emotional Survivalist | Professional Untangler of Family Chaos
Counseling for those in their 40s, 50s, and 60s
Serving NY & CT
Welcome to the part where I share my credentials:
​
-
Bachelor's in Acting (don't ask)
-
Master’s in Mental Health Counseling,
-
Licensed in both New York and Connecticut,
-
Specializing in Anxiety, Burnout, and Trauma. (Check, Check, and Check.)
But let’s be real - you’re not just here for a résumé.
You want to know if I get you.
If I can actually help.
Hey Gen X, Yeah, You!
-
I’m the kind of therapist who remembers the name you picked out for the dog you never got—because your brother had allergies and asthma (Cobra Commander)
-
I get why certain sounds and smells immediately take you to the people and places you try hard not to think about.
-
I will understand why a call from an unfamiliar number makes you think of hospital stays and legal decisions you aren't ready to make.
-
I will ask bold questions, the ones that help you name what you’ve been avoiding; the questions that shine a light on what you keep doing out of guilt, fear, or that good old Gen X sense of obligation.
-
What I will do is sit with you in the life you think is a mess, ask questions based on your reality, and help you explore the patterns you’re tired of repeating.
-
Together, we’ll dive into why you think, feel, and react the way you do—and how those responses may have helped you survive once, but are holding you back now.
-
I know midlife can feel like you're running a marathon with a backpack full of bricks—career demands, aging parents, kids (or not), relationship shifts, and that ever-present whisper: " Sh*t, is this really it?"
-
I won't be your bestie who co-signs everything you do; that is not the job. I’m your co-pilot for the deep dive into you—so you can reclaim your time, your energy, your voice, and your damn life!

And because you're wondering if I am a real deal 70's baby or a 30-something poser, here are a few random facts and photos to prove I'm the real deal:
​
1. At age 7, when Purple Rain came out, I thought the chorus of “When Doves Cry” was about me because '70s and ’80s parenting needs to be studied, hard.
2. Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, and Eddie Murphy shaped my humor (and probably my moral compass).
3. I love both authentic and colonized tacos.
4. “The Empire Strikes Back” is peak storytelling—fight me.
5. I make dope Mix Tapes/Playlists and still use the word Album instead of Vinyl.
6. I’m the person you want on your trivia team (especially if there's an 80s and 90s music or movie round).
7. I say “Are you f*cking kidding me?” a lot, for someone with a voluminous vocabulary.
​
8. I sing “My Favorite Things” from The Sound of Music as a coping mechanism when my Anxiety is on fuego- Yes, I’m a therapist who experiences anxiety, most of us do!
​
9. I’m a strong believer in therapists having a therapist!
10. I became an Eagles fan after reading “The Silver Linings Playbook, “ which is about middle-aged mental health and way better than the movie!
​
11. I can’t look at the back of a milk carton without thinking about kidnappers.
​
12. I survived and thrived being taught by Nuns in the late 80s and early 90s who didn't understand the weird and nerdy black girl at the back of the class reading Bloom County and Calvin and Hobbes.

Let’s go!
