Patricia Uhan

Patricia Uhan is a licensed professional counselor practicing in Missouri who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She takes a calm, warm approach and focuses on what brought each person to therapy. Patricia aims to create a space where people can speak openly and begin to find workable steps forward.

She has four years of clinical experience across community mental health settings. That work included supporting survivors of sexual abuse or assault and people with PTSD, substance use concerns, and co-occurring diagnoses. She also has experience with severe and persistent mental illness and dual diagnosis in diverse populations.

Patricia uses several therapy styles and chooses what fits the person and the problem. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and on dialectical behavior approaches to teach emotion regulation skills. Attachment-based ideas help when relationship patterns and early losses come into play.

Cultural identity and life context are part of how she plans care. Sessions focus on practical skills and clearer understanding, not on jargon. Patricia describes her style as warm and empathic, and she works collaboratively to set small, realistic goals.

People who are dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, or relationship communication problems may find her background relevant. She also addresses issues like body image, codependency, dissociation, and coping after disasters.
