Our Services
All of our services are available in-office and as teletherapy sessions so that we can meet you wherever you are. All you need to connect is a phone, tablet, or computer.
Individual therapy
As a professional with over 30 years of experience, Patricia LaVelle will offer a comprehensive, individualized approach to treating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, PTSD, bipolar and mood disorders, OCD, and relationship issues or marriage/family concerns. Patricia will help you identify and accomplish your own individual goals that move you toward recovery. Her process draws on your already-present strengths and skills, to create a method of treatment that fits you.
She will support you each step of the way so that you can confidently take the steps toward accomplishing your treatment goals and living the life that you desire. By providing the guidance, compassion, support, and insight to tackle whatever you may be facing, Patricia will help you navigate the difficult, discouraging moments in life and equip you with the skills you need to be successful long after treatment.
Couples Counseling
Although great relationships may seem magical, the skills required to achieve them are not – they’re learned. A couples counselor can be an asset in acquiring these skills, and understanding the patterns that impact your relationship, in order to liberate you both from the power struggles and blame.
While many couples seek counseling during times of distress and conflict, counseling can be useful at all stages of a relationship. Whether beginning a partnership, considering new commitments like marriage or having children, struggling with intimacy, trying to pull a broken relationship back together, or simply wanting to deepen an already intimate and fulfilling relationship, Patricia will work with you to establish common goals and develop needed communication skills.
Family Counseling
If your family is having the same, ongoing struggles, including arguments, conflicts, lack of cooperation, or activity overload, it’s time to seek help. Approach with a trained, professional counselor. Family counseling can help bring you much-needed relief.
We will work together to solve problems, avoid blame, and minimize stress. People are not understood in isolation from one another, but they are better understood as part of their family. Patricia will work your family to smooth out the tense spaces between you.
Eye Movement Desensitization
and Reprocessing (EMDR) technique
The human body has an amazing ability to heal itself. Broken bones mend, organs regenerate tissue, and platelets clot to stop bleeding. But did you know the human body can also heal emotional trauma? Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a treatment which uses the way our brains process information to help you heal.
Assessment and evaluations
LaVelle & Associates provides specialized assessment and evaluation services. Administering different assessments can measure general wellbeing and assess for certain mental health conditions. These assessments and evaluations can be helpful to gather additional information before designing the best approach to address problems.
