Feeling lonely, betrayed, frustrated, confused, stuck or any combination of these emotions impairs our ability to live the life we desire. Failed or unfulfilling relationships, unsuccessful or disappointing career situations, general dissatisfaction, apathy, crisis, trauma and death are among the many reasons to explore therapy.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_4,1_4,1_4,1_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/pattigermancounseling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/individual-1.png” alt=”Individual Therapy” title_text=”Individual Therapy” _builder_version=”4.0.6″ width=”80px” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||0px” custom_padding=”||”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.0.5″ link_option_url=”\/Group Therapy”]

In fact, quite the opposite is true. Therapy serves as a positive medium which allows people to develop a deeper understanding of themselves in our increasingly complex world, so that they may make productive decisions which lead to their own personal happiness.\n\nThrough the work we do together, people redesign their lives and emerge with a powerful sense of self, and as a result, the ability to enjoy life in a most rich and meaningful way.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.26.1″ background_enable_color=”off”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”3.25″][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/pattigermancounseling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/patti_german_sm.jpg” alt=”Patti German” title_text=”Patti German” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.0.6″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.5″] Trained at Penn Council for Relationships under the auspices of the Departments of Psychiatry of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and Jefferson Medical College.<\/strong><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/pattigermancounseling.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/together.png” alt=”Patti German” title_text=”Patti German” _builder_version=”4.0.6″ width=”70%” width_tablet=”50%” width_phone=”71%” width_last_edited=”on|tablet” module_alignment=”center”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.5″] My focus, expertise and specialization is in the dysfunctional interpersonal relationships of individuals, among couples and within families, including parent\/child involvement and sibling interaction. My work helps explore the familial patterns, inhibitions and legacies that contribute to impaired functioning, building insights that encourage change. This change will, generally, create adjustments that reverberate within the entire family, work or relationship system. Many who require direction in their lives, or have experienced failed or unfulfilling relationships – yet yearn for a gratifying one – continue to find tremendous success through their work with me. Couples desiring enhanced communication, a deepening of intimacy or, conversely, need help in preparing for separation or adjusting to divorce also learn to recreate a perspective on life based on a deeper understanding of their true motivation.<\/p>\n All tell me they “find my warmth and empathy<\/strong>” a significant contributing force in their healing process.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.0.5″ custom_padding=”||0px||false|false”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.0.5″][et_pb_divider _builder_version=”4.0.5″][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.0.5″][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.0.5″][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.0.5″] Mother & Daughter Sessions<\/strong><\/p>\n Mothers and daughters have a special relationship which often becomes a struggle.
