Hello!
We all have moments and experiences when we seek support and advise from those who have been there, and done that and perhaps more. We seek support from those who are considered experts regarding our needs. Well let me say, you have come to the right site and you, now have an opportunity to work with one of the most highly trained psychotherapist in the field of psychology.
My name is Dr. Patricia Bell, LMHC (License Mental health Counselor). I have a PsyD. in Counseling from a well respected and accredited university. And I have more than fifteen years experience in the field of Counseling and Psychotherapy.
I’m confident that together we can work to help equip you with the necessary tools to help you whether you’re struggling with Relationships, Depression, Anger Management, Substance-related Issues, Anxiety, or Low Self-Esteem Issues, it is important that you know you don’t have to be alone in this journey. I have the experience to help you achieve your goals, overcome these struggles, and live a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
During my work process, I often incorporate techniques and ideas from other counseling modalities. However, my foundational reference of training comes from Cognitive therapy. Cognitive Therapy is a modality (therapy) which seeks to challenge and to address negative self-thoughts and behaviors. All in an effort to dismantle and/or alter unwanted behaviors or mood patterns such as depression.
My working experiences has included the very young to the most matured with age. I enjoy working with people. And I believe that you too are ready to began your journey of change, as evident by you reaching out. This one act along is a giant positive step in the right direction.
I am looking forward to meeting you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

After having only one phone session & exchanging a few chat messages with Dr. Bell, I get the sense that she is very good at what she does.. Sound and knowledgeable advice. Thank you thus far, Dr. Bell.
In my first session I feel like I was talking to someone who completely knew what they were doing. While we still have a long road ahead to get to know each other, Dr. Bell makes me feel confident I can trust her to help guide me in the best way through my difficult journey.
She’s a straight shooter and challenges me like no other. I look forward to our sessions

I am for ever great full to her. Today I can sleep better and feel like I moving forward with my life something that I thought was not possible a couple of weeks ago.

Dr.Bell is so awesome. She’s relatable and makes me comfortable sharing .. highly recommend her !
I spent 3 days going over which counselor would best suit my needs. I picked Dr.Bell based off of her extensive time spent to get to the PSYD level & the fact that she has more life experience than I. To my surprise, Dr.Bell went above & beyond to make sure I was doing well throughout the week, made sure I was heard, & didn't sugar coat things. This got me conquering goals asap. Speaking with Dr.Bell is like having that friend everyone wants in their corner who's always honest. I highly recommend you get counseled by Dr.Bell, especially if you don't know who to choose. Her expertise in the field will truly help you get to where ever it is that you want to go. Take care.
This was my first time speaking to a counselor and I had a great session with Dr. Bell. She is easy to talk to and asks thought-provoking questions that helped me better understand my situation. I found her to be patient and calm throughout our session, which in turn assisted me with opening up. I would recommend her to anyone seeking to understand themselves better and break old habits.
Patricia has been such a gem since we began our sessions. She really listens and is so attentive , I have truly learnt so much from her. Our sessions are always so helpful, I am so grateful for her. I couldn’t recommend her enough to anyone!

Dr. Bell is very knowledgeable and helps me get to the root of my problems so that I can begin working on them. I love that the sessions are an hour long and she always answers my texts. I would definitely recommend Dr. Bell to anyone who is serious about changing their negative behaviors.

I honestly appreciate Dr.Bell’s support so much. I feel lighter. As Dr.Bell is going out of her way supporting and helping people heal as their facilitator; I hope and pray that genuine people are there to support and help her whenever she seeks for some help as it pertains to whatever is personal to her. Supporters also need support. As Dr.Bell has poured out to others, may God replenish her and I hope she always find some solid time to recharge and refill her cup. Your work is not easy Dr.Bell, but, the part you play is seen and deeply appreciate. Your approach as a facilitator is working and it truly helps so thank you❤️
