My name is Patricia Bryant-Reid, and I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years of experience. I am skilled in providing therapy to adults impacted by various issues such as unresolved trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, attachment issues, work-related stress, and life transitions. I am a warm, empathic clinician that is a strength-based, client-centered, racial justice, and LBGTQ+ allied.

The therapeutic modalities and interventions that I commonly use are supportive psychotherapy, insight-oriented therapy, brief Psychodynamic therapy, Solution-Focused therapy, Cognitive Behavioral therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. My therapeutic orientation is informed by respect, cultural humility, and a genuine interest in providing my clients with a safe space to share their authentic stories and the complexities of their lives.

During my years in the human services field, I experienced enormous professional satisfaction from helping people work through complex life situations, heal from trauma and grief, and manage their range of emotions related to life transition changes.

I love to cook and try new recipes. I am an avid reader and enjoy fiction and non-fiction literature. When my favorite authors are in town, I like to meet them and get them to autograph my books.

During the pandemic, I received a gift subscription to a mindfulness app, and since that time, it has become a morning ritual to rise early, listen to a guided meditation for 30 minutes, then have a cup of coffee. I also practice other short relaxation strategies throughout the day.

The Legal Defense Fund (LDF) because of its outstanding commitment to social justice.

I practice self-care daily and try to eat healthy, exercise, and make an effort to get enough sleep. I spend quality time with my husband and stay in touch with my family and friends.
