Patricia Martinelli

Hello, I'm Pat. I have been working in this field for over 30 years. It is my passion. I believe in a collaborative approach because you know yourself best. I want to co-create a plan to help you reach your goals. There are many approaches to therapy. I like and am skilled in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) and somatic interventions. I use Motivational Interviewing as well in order to create change talk. I believe that how we think about things is at the core of health. I am a Christian and faith can be a powerful ally. I was adopted and raised by a wonderful Haida woman so I am very comfortable and familiar with Native American cultures and dynamics. In fact, my grandmother was a boarding school Indian. I look forward to our time together.
