Patricia Pardy, LMHC, LCPC

Patricia Pardy is a licensed mental health counselor who brings 20 years of experience to her work in New York. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Patricia listens first and shapes each session around what the person needs in that moment. She uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people handle intense feelings and recurring patterns. Sessions often include tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thoughts and from Dialectical Behavior Therapy to manage strong emotions. Patricia also draws on Client-Centered and Mindfulness approaches to slow things down and build self-awareness. Many clients seek support for family and parenting concerns, relationship stress, caregiving strain, or complicated grief. Patricia also works with people navigating trauma, anger, identity issues related to LGBT concerns, and challenges linked to ADHD and career stress. She also offers guidance for people exploring alternative sexual cultures and kink-related questions. Patricia aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can speak honestly. She helps set clear goals and offers straightforward strategies to practice between sessions. With a collaborative approach, she balances direct skill coaching with listening and reflection. Clients who want to begin are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability. Patricia keeps the focus on practical steps that fit into everyday life and on building small, sustainable changes over time.
