THERESA PATTON, Licensed Clinical and Rehabilitation Counselor

ACCEPTING NEW TELEHEALTH CLIENTS IN JANUARY 2025 Welcome to THE PATTON PRACTICE Theresa Patton, CRC, LCPC, LPC, LCAC, LCAS, LIAC, LCDC, MAC, CCS The Practice is dedicated to the care and treatment of Mental Health, Addiction, and Rehabilitation Counseling. We offer clinical support to behavioral health care and short-term and long-term disability needs. Our goal is to help you regain your healthy functioning. Are you seeking support through a life transition? Have you suffered a recent injury or require emotional support? Are you looking to re-enter the workforce or acquire new job skills? I am here to assist you. With clinical counseling and rehabilitation expertise, I offer guidance to help you identify, develop, and achieve your objectives. THE WORK WE WILL DO TOGETHER: I will challenge you while supporting the changes and goals you set for yourself. As your advocate and greatest supporter, I will assist in the healing of your body and mind. My approach is professional yet warm and personal. Your needs will be recognized and addressed with respect and professionalism. I will leverage available resources to support your transition, be it returning to work or reconnecting with family. Together, we will address your personal, physical, and social challenges or disabilities. Following each visit, I will persist in connecting the dots to help you gain insight and clarity. THE CLIENTS SERVED: The Patton Practice is committed to serving adults, emphasizing the care of geriatric clients. We encourage all genders and sexual orientations. We welcome LGBTQIA clients and those with emotional or physical disabilities, including those dealing with substance use and mental health disorders. Our goal is to help you face your challenges, offer evaluations, and devise treatment and development plans, which may include strategies for returning to work. THE PROCESS: Your appointment represents "your time," whether for an emergency crisis appointment to address an immediate concern or a scheduled clinical session. I will seek your feedback to confirm that we agree. All the methods employed are evidence-based best practices during our sessions, backed by robust research and proven results. THE FINANCIAL POLICIES: As a private practitioner, I focus on your unique treatment needs for continuous care. I am in-network with various payment sources to ensure flexibility, support my clients, and uphold clinical standards. If you are out-of-network, invoicing statements are automatically generated in your client portal and promptly submitted to your insurance company for reimbursement, according to the stipulations of your member policy. THERAPY FEES: Client sessions are auto-billed in full to the credit or debit card on file up to 24 hours before the service time. Cancellations not processed through a secure portal, text, or phone call 24 hours before the scheduled session will incur the current late fee charged to the card on file and may jeopardize future appointment scheduling. FREE CONSULTATION: It is essential to ensure a suitable match. While it's not required, potential clients are encouraged to arrange a free 20-minute online consultation before the initial assessment. THE CLIENT PORTAL: Active clients can access our HIPAA-compliant communication portal. Telehealth sessions are securely encrypted and adhere to HIPAA standards, ensuring your session remains safe and confidential. SOME LAST THOUGHTS: Therapy is a journey of commitment that fosters self-awareness. Maintaining an active client status requires a minimum of a weekly appointment. Repeated cancellations could risk your client status, resulting in the deactivation of your portal and appointment privileges. Counseling offers a stabilizing effect that can significantly enhance your well-being. It necessitates a dedicated partnership between the client and the therapist. By selecting THE PATTON PRACTICE, you invest in your most valuable asset: yourself. I am anticipating your visit.
