Patricia Ann Watts-Scheffel, an LCSW and dedicated Clinical Social Worker, believes that every individual is born whole and possesses an inherent understanding of their own truth. She recognizes that through years of external judgments and internal conflicts, many lose touch with this core connection. Patricia facilitates the reconnection to one's true self, fostering healthier and more satisfying relationships with oneself and with others, including family and friends. With 30 years of experience in Social Work, she has worked effectively with diverse age groups, including preteens, children ages 6-10, teens, elders aged 65+, and adults. She is skilled in various therapeutic modalities, including Expressive Arts, Art Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and offers both group and individual sessions. Patricia has extensive experience in outpatient and inpatient behavioral health settings, as well as in hospice and bereavement care. In addition to her private practice, she is committed to enhancing professional development for clinical and non-clinical staff, drawing upon her postgraduate training in Gestalt Therapy and her certification in Creative Arts Therapy.
