Patti Criswell, LMSW

There are some Big Truths in life and one of them is that growing up is hard—for everyone—and having the ability to walk with someone through the storms and watch them come out the other side stronger and more confident is what this work is all about.

 I’m a seasoned clinician working mostly with girls and women of all ages with anxiety, depression, mood disorders and relationship difficulties. I take a strength-based approach to help find solutions. I’m a strong advocate for “finding your voice” and learning crucial relationship skills. I am also an award-winning author and instructor at WMU. These experiences have helped shape my clinical work. I have a strong “data driven” and “evidenced based” approach and at the same time, strive to help clients feel heard and understood in a safe, nurturing environment.

We all have times in our life when we need to pivot, adjust, and ride out the storm. My goal in therapy is to make the journey a bit easier.
