Patrice Barden, LMSW

Welcome, I'm so happy you are here! I am Patrice and I am a licensed clinical social worker committed to helping you to identify what you are experiencing and ways to overcome challenges you may face. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship and a team approach is important for a successful experience. I graduated from the University of Michigan in 2015 and have many years of experience and training in many forms of therapy techniques including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma Focused CBT. I am passionate about helping teens, young adults and women navigate through life's challenges including: stress/anxiety, depressed mood, childhood/past trauma, grief, self-esteem concerns, and relational issues. If you are finding yourself trying everything and still struggling with any of these challenges and need support please contact me to set up a consultation. You can ask me any questions you have to see if I would be a good fit. Next Steps: 1. Schedule a Consultation-Use this link to find a good time for me to give you a call. This is free and will be about 15-20minutes long. You can also reach me by phone. https://calendly.com/pbarden-z0u/phone-consultation 2. If you decide to work with me as your therapist you will need to create an account using the client portal found on this site (I will send you a special link). This is where you will communicate with me, track appointments and make payments. 3. Double check insurance costs to ensure you are able to afford treatment at this time. I will inform you of any information I receive about your out of pocket costs as well. Make a plan for how you will pay, which can vary based on your insurance plan and how often you are scheduled. Important Policies: *Cancellation/No Show Policy----Cancellations should be communicated through the secure portal, text, or phone call 24 hours before the scheduled session. If not, you will incur the fee of $30 invoiced to your account that will need to be paid before scheduling a new appointment. (I will waive 1 late cancellation/noshow fee.) Repeated cancellations and no shows can jeopardize your ability to make future appointments and may be put on a waitlist. *Session Fees- Your copays or coinsurance must be paid within 7-14 days of the invoice date. If it is not paid by then, your next appointment will be rescheduled until you are able to do so. This is to ensure that your balance does not exceed a certain amount, which can be really stressful. Remember therapy an investment in yourself! If you need help making a financial plan let me know! FULL WEBSITE IS "UNDER-CONTRUCTION" AND WILL BE BACK UP SHORTLY WITH A NEW LOOK AND SERVICES!!
