Jennifer Patterson

I am an MFT Trainee here at Stronger Together and also serve as the Board Director for the Social Justice Action Board. I believe in the destigmatization and decolonization of mental health and feel that mental health is a fundamental right. I recognize marginalized identities and work to own my own identity and privilege.

My work as a therapist centers on my values of compassion, equity, empowerment. I practice through an intersectional feminist lens and I provide affirming and integrative care using AEDP, EFT, DBT, and more. I have extensive training working with members of the LGBTQIA+ communities and currently co-facilitate Inside Out: An LGBTQIA+ Therapy Group here at STCS. I enjoy working with adults and adolescents in individual, relationship, and family therapy. I believe that at the end of the day, therapy is about human connection and support; you are not alone. ❤️

A little “about me”: I identify as queer and am passionate about serving the queer communities. I have four dogs (definitely obsessed with them) and I love Halloween! I enjoy learning and strive to see challenges as learning and growth opportunities.

Credentials: I am currently completing my Masters of Arts at Alliant International University in Couple and Family Therapy. I am in AEDP, EMDR, DBT, CBT, PCIT, Mindfulness, and EFT. I continually seek out training in Gender Affirming Care, Trans Youth Care, and Domestic Violence Advocacy.
