In-Person and Virtual Therapy for Anxiety, Depression, Trauma or  Overwhelmed Individuals.  In-Person and Virtual Couples Counseling.  Walk and Talk Therapy for Individuals in Northwest Indiana.

I want to walk a few steps beside you on your journey to feeling happier and healthier. 

Hello, I'm Patricia DeJesus. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Crown Point, Indiana. I provide therapy in-person and online for individuals and couples.  I also provide walk and talk therapy for individuals local to Northwest Indiana. For over 10 years I have been guiding and supporting individuals and families toward a more fulfilling and happier life. I completed both my Bachelor’s and Master’s and provide therapy to individuals experiencing struggles such as anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, and adjustment. I also work closely with couples to provide marriage and relationship counseling. 

My therapeutic style is positive and empathetic but my mission is to challenge you to find the strength and tools within yourself. I have knowledge and experience using a variety of evidenced-based theoretic approaches including Person Centered, CBT, IFS, EMDR, Mindfulness, and Behavior therapy; which allows me to individualize my approach to your needs. Every person is different and there is no one size fits all when it comes to therapy.

I am very passionate about what I do not only because I find it extremely rewarding but because I am not immune to life's challenges.  I have learned, from both personal and professional experiences, that when someone decides to peel back the layers and work through pain or is ready to take some steps toward change, it could open up the door to hope, balance, peace or fulfillment.  I also understand that it is not easy and that results don't always happen fast.  My philosophy is "baby steps".  As long as you are moving forward with the goals you have in therapy, you are winning the battle.  Sometimes that means you move very slowly but growth happens even at snail pace speed.  

If you are ready to work through challenging issues or heal from difficult life experiences that may be holding you back or weighing on you, I welcome you to reach out. I will meet you where you are and we will determine together how to get you heading in the direction you desire.
