Patricia Keblis

Empathy and personal experience converge in the therapeutic approach of Patricia Keblis, A.M.F.T., an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist whose journey to the field was shaped by her own encounters with family challenges. Drawing from her background witnessing substance abuse struggles and experiencing the early loss of her father due to addiction, Patricia brings a unique perspective to her practice, one that deeply understands the transformative power of therapy.

Patricia earned her Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Massachusetts Global, complementing her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a Minor in Human Development from California State University, Long Beach. This solid educational foundation, combined with three years of clinical experience, has equipped her to work effectively with diverse populations, including children, adolescents, adults, and families.

In her practice, Patricia addresses a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), substance abuse, trauma, LGBTQ+ issues, and family and relationship difficulties. Her therapeutic approach is client-centered, recognizing that each individual's needs are unique. She skillfully integrates psychodynamic, emotionally focused, and humanistic therapeutic modalities to create a tailored treatment plan for each client.

Patricia's passion for psychology and therapy evolved naturally from her personal experiences and her deep-seated desire to assist others facing hardship. Her journey began in her teenage years when she developed a collection of self-help resources, which eventually led her to pursue a career in psychology after an inspiring introductory college course. This early interest has blossomed into a committed dedication to sharing the significance of therapy as a powerful tool for self-discovery, healing, and personal growth.

As a therapist, Patricia's goal is to open up new perspectives for clients to overcome personal barriers. She creates a safe space where feelings are validated and unconditional positive regard is given for each client's lived experience. Patricia is dedicated to aiding in the development of her clients' fullest potential, guiding them on their journey of self-discovery and healing.
