About me
I am a certified Play Therapist and have built a practice working with children, adolescents and teens.
My heart goes out to this age group. They live in a time with extreme expectations and stressors that we did not have to endure. Social media, bullying and peer pressures that they are attempting to navigate beyond their brains development. I have worked with these age groups through divorce, grief, body image issues, self harm and self esteem and self confidence. I am here to listen and empathize with all they are going through. I am here to be a non-judgmental sounding board and help them find their voice.
I want them to enter in the next phases in their lives in a very healthy place. I will work with them to build a tool box of coping skills that they can carry throughout life.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Patricia Lord. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
Patricia has been such an integral part of my growth, while providing me with guidance to a better understanding of my areas of concern. Would recommend 10/10.
I feel like I have gotten the support I needed, but have had an overall good experience with it and will be starting again if necessary.
She cares for me and wants what is best for me. She is very helpful and is a partner with me in improving my mental and physical health.
Patricia has been very helpful to me over the years. We have reached the point where constant therapy is not needed so I'm not in contact with her for a while but then contact her for a short time when I need a "second opinion". It's a definite comfort knowing she is there when I need her.
This was my first therapy experience and it has been a great one. I always feel better once I’m done with my sessions, but I also always have tools to use and work through my temporary circumstances. Meeting with Pati feels like laying on a cool pillow after a long day. And she also holds me accountable and I appreciate it. I have no complaints at all.
I've had a wonderful experience working with Patricia. She is supportive, empathetic, and humorous. She is a great listener and always has helpful insights. I am so grateful to have been matched with her!
It's good to feel heard and not treated like a textbook issue. Thank you.
Patricia is really understand and helpful in guiding me through my concerns. She is a great listener, and is very encouraging towards my goals!
Patty is very understanding. She is able to listen and give advice or put the situation into new perspectives for you to learn new ways of thinking or patterns you may be repeating.
This is the best thing I've done for my marriage and Patricia is amazing and so helpful! It's amazing the change in dynamics of my relationship with my husband thanks to Patricia!
Pati is an exceptional listener and makes you feel your emotions are valid. She helps you see that your mental health is just as important as physical health. She sees who you are and lets you be yourself. I've learned so much from Pati and I hope she knows how much she is appreciated!!
Pati is excellent. She challenges me and pushes me, just enough to help me grow, while also giving me space and time to figure things out for myself.
Miss Patricia was my first experience with a therapist, and she was very nice to talk to. She was able to help me understand “boundaries” and that there are things that I can say I will not tolerate.
Pati is really good about getting back to you in a timely manner. And when she does it is helpful, meaning advice and support. I don’t know what I would do without her!
Pati has always helped me feel more at ease with myself and really maintain a single goal and take it one step at a time instead of overwhelming myself with too much at once. I’m glad I’m back in therapy
Patti is awesome!
I’ve been seeing Pati for 7 months now. I love how great of a listener she is as well as her input/feedback she gives me. I still have a long way to go in therapy, but have made huge gains in my mental health and relationships bc of Pati’s help and teencounseling.com! I Highly recommend!
Patricia is so good at her job! She truly knows how to respond to any situation and how to see how you are responding and actually get you to talk and learn from whatever you are going through!
She Is The Best
What I love the most is I’m able to stay in contact with pati without having to make an appointment life can be crazy and busy at times so some in between life chats are very helpful to me
She is amazing therapist and so happy and fortunate to have a great counselor that listens
We have only met once by video but she has done a great job with listening to us and providing each of us with something to work contemplate between meetings.
Very good 1st meeting experience.
Pati is very good at what she does. I wish she had more time for me, but I realize she does have a caseload. I wish we could speak more often as communication is more immediate that way. But that had happened only once.
My husband and I have only met with Pati once, but we both felt understood and supported and we look forward to future visits with her.
Patti is great! She has been a huge help!
Patricia is an outstanding counselor. She is available to help you through your tough situation and will see you through completion. I appreciate our time and better off because of it. Thank You
She has been great to help process my issues
She is really amazing and insightful.
I’ve had a few therapists, and Pati is heads and shoulders above anyone I’ve ever worked with. She’s real and isn’t afraid to speak truth to me. I would recommend her to anyone who is struggling (although I don’t like to share...
Patricia is excellent! She is very compassionate, knowledgeable, and precise when it comes to counseling me on my anxiety and self esteem. I am doing very well managing my mental health after working with her the past few months. She has taught me to be more mindful and grateful each day to live a happy and healthier life. I am very grateful for this service to be used in the go and in my free time!
I absolutely love her. Very professional and extremely well equipped.
she is wonderful and is there for you no matter what!
Patricia seems to have a genuine interest in me and my story. She responds promptly and has good, practical suggestions for me as to how to cope with anxiety outside of medication. I don't know if I would be able to transition off medications without her help and support. I feel that she is on my side and a strong advocate for me and my mental health.
The best counselor I've had; hands-down.
Patricia always makes time for me and if I have an emergency she immediately answers.
I have been working with Pati for almost a year now. I have very much enjoyed and appreciated this means of counseling. Pati is very responsive and understanding with schedule concerns. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
She is great!
Perfect!
Patricia is very kind and patient. She has wonderful insights and advise. My whole teencounseling.com Counseling experience has gone very well!
Patricia is very helpful and offers many resources to work through situations and things to practice.
I really like Pati's approach. I only wish I'd contacted BH sooner -- Pati has helped me see what I already knew and put it into practice. The accountability is critical.
Patricia is wonderful!
Ms. Lord is absolutely amazing. I have had the other therapist before and none have made me feel as comfortable as she does. I truly have made progress and feel better than I have in a long time.
Patti is the best ever. At least she is perfect for me. She is very knowledgeable but delivers it with a perfect tone of professionalism and caring. I look forward to chatting with her and remaining on track. My life has never been more balanced or at ease than it has been over the last few years. Patti is a huge part of that.
Very kind and understanding
Patricia was great for my daughter. This was our first time to try any type of counseling/therapy and it was a great first time.
Patricia is such a wonderful person. She was so helpful and knowledgeable. I have learned a lot about how to help myself throw hard times. I have grown so much through her help.
Patricia Lord is an incredible help to myself as well as whoever else needing her expertise. She listens very carefully, understands, and responds strong. The passion she has to help others is rare and for that I'm beyond thankful for her time. Id recommend to others not only the website but as a counselor Patricia Lord would be my recommendation.
She’s really good! Gives great advice, insight and is very patient.
She offers many suggestions that have helped a lot!! Also, she has helped us work through issues that we were not able to solve on our own. Highly recommend.
She has and is helping me a lot to get through this tough time. I greatly appreciate the help she is giving me.
Patricia has been so helpful in helping me handle my anxiety. I have been through a lot of therapy, so signing up for more felt very daunting. Patricia eased that and didn’t make me feel like she was repeating everything I’ve heard before.
Patti has been attentive, patient, timely, and accurate in providing me with steps toward my goals and needs. After going through multiple different counselors, I'm happy to finally have someone on which I can rely.
She’s a very kind and understanding woman, with a mother-like and friend-like energy.
Things went well, my daughter used the service and the provider answered all questions I had.
Talking to Patricia is like talking to a close friend. She’s great at listening and encouraging me.
Patricia’s been a great help to me!
I love that Patricia and I share common interests, it was easy to relate to her and vice versa quickly! She responds so quickly and always has something helpful to say about the situation. She is very wise, and she has provided me with several tools to help with anxiety and depression.
Patricia is a wonderful friend and confidant that has been supportive through some of the most difficult times in my life.
Patricia is awesome!
Mrs. Lord has been amazing and extremely helpful with getting my hubs and I on track.
Patricia has taken the time to understand the issues that I bring to the table. More importantly she takes the time to know me as a person so that she can help guide me on these issues. She is so caring, kind, and effective.
She’s very responsive and is good at getting to the heart of the issue. I haven’t worked with her long but I’ve found her input helpful. She’s really goood at focusing on my primary concerns. I would highly recommend her.
This is my first time ever receiving counseling. I was very apprehensive at first. Patricia has been very helpful and caring. She listens, understands, is compassionate and makes recommendations to help me through my issues that I have not thought of. I am very thankful for her.
We are just getting started... both of us have been frustrated and on edge but after our first phone call Patricia was able to help us both feel heard and is working to give us more tools to help our relationship!
I really enjoy working with Pati. I have had 3-4 live sessions with her and signed up for three more months. I feel like she genuinely cares and listens (she remembers intricate details about what I told her the next week). I really feel like I can make progress with her and move on from some painful experiences in my life and look forward to our future sessions and healing.
I’ve messaged and had a video session with Pati and felt so comfortable and at ease speaking with her. I feel like she genuinely cares. I look forward to our future sessions.
She's extremely helpful and kind and does her best to make sure you're comfortable talking to her.
Patricia Lord was extremely helpful. She listened to my problems and offered reasonable and useful coping mechanics.
In the short time I have been communicating with Patricia she has helped me immensely. I highly recommend her in anyone's life's journey.
I haven’t really been doing this long, but so far I’m pretty happy. Patricia listens and understands my concerns, which is really what I needed in the first place!
She helped us get thru a rough spot in our marriage. She was the sounding board and neutral ear we needed. Thanks Pati. We'll be in contact again if we need your assistance again.
She is awesome and helps me as much as she can
Pati is wonderful. In just two weeks she has helped me break habits I’ve been trying to break for a long time. I really like the mindsets and techniques she’s teaching me.
Awesome! Super helpful and understanding!
Patricia has been a terrific help sorting out my emotions. She has refreshing ideas, and has really shown me concern and empathy. I highly recommend Patricia, she is knowledgeable and very keen to listen. She responds promptly when I message her. A+ Thank you for everything!
I absolutely adore Patricia!! She is so understanding and is a great listener!!
In just one video session, Pati was able to help me get to the root of how my controlling ex was able to manipulate my emotions. Since meeting with her I've been able to really dig deep and feel much more stable. I've also been able to process a lot of things alone using her guidance and affirmations. So thankful!
Pati was very helpful. I’d recommend her to anyone!
Pati is very receptive and easy to talk to. She is accessible and responsive. I am really enjoying my time with her. I appreciate that she checks in on me throughout the week.
She’s very understanding and patient, I am one who struggles to open up and she has helped me feel accepted and not judged to open up and that to me means the world, I highly recommended her.
I was matched with Pati after a few short survey questions about what kind of counselor I needed, and I couldn’t be happier! She always responds in a timely manner and I can tell that she puts a lot of thought and detail into her questions and responses to me. I love that we can email back and forth because I am a busy single mom. She has helped me a great deal with my stress and anxiety and she uses real life scenarios to help me understand situations better. She is also local to me so if I wanted to set up an appointment I could do so. I feel important and cared for with her responses. Thanks Pati/teencounseling.com!
Patricia and I exchanged several messages and a live chat. She has been great. teencounseling.com is great because of its availability. I wish I found it sooner when my wife and I started having problems.
Patricia has helped me see how emotionally connected my memories are; it's helped me get through a layer of fog so I can better understand my current state better!
Working with Patricia has been a really great experience. I have done traditional counseling before, but had a really hard time getting sessions scheduled with a busy professional life and home responsibilities. I was nervous about teencounseling.com because the sessions are not in person; but it has far exceeded my expectations and has even been more comfortable than meeting with someone in person.
After just a few sessions Patricia has been absolutely wonderful. She offers advice when I ask for it but she truly listens and seems to care about my wellbeing. She understands my situations and makes me feel like it’s okay to have the emotions that I do, then proceeds to try to help me understand those emotions and work through them. Wonderful experience so far.
I was connected with Patricia a few weeks ago, and she has been so open to listening with no judgement. I have been able to get some things off my soul and heart, and try to work through it. I appreciate her.
Patti has been a great source of comfort in an extremely difficult time in my life. I felt comfortable with her almost immediately. I am nearing the end of my second month with her and can highly recommend her!
My time with Pati has been more valuable to me than I'd ever imagined it might be. It's great to have someone help you to look at your life from a different perspective, and to help you approach areas of concern from another direction. I hope to see/talk with her again!!
Thanks Pati!!
Been great so far!
Patricia has been a big help to me.
She's very personable, always there and just wants to understand you and help YOU understand you, or help you begin to do so. Best counselor I have had.
She always answered me in ways I could understand. And I felt like she really listened.
She is very friendly, offers frequent support and knowledgable about many various issues I have presented her. I trust in her opinion and respect her advice
