About Patricia Pattan-O’Neal

Hi!
My name is Patty. I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Michigan and Utah with 9 years of professional work experience.
My background includes helping clients in all of life’s stages with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, & depression.
I treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
My special skill is to know when people need a gentle reminder and when they need to be held firmly accountable. I meet people’s needs. Let’s start where you are and get you where you want to go.
I believe you are the expert in your own life. Allow me to be the objective observer to guide and assist you in this stage of your journey by sharing skills of relation strategies, mindfulness, self-awareness and creative expression. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy takes courage. Congratulations! I really look forward to working with you.

“Patty gives me great tools to use and I am so much happier and living a fuller life because of her. From going to suicidal to now enjoying life has been an amazing journey that Patty helped me travel”

“I really like that she checks in with me during the week, it helps remind me to reflect and check in on myself too!”

“I'm so happy I found Patricia O'Neal. My longtime therapist had retired & I tried other therapists that I just didn't feel comfortable with until I found Patricia. She's helped me through the most difficult time I've faced in my life. She helps me understand my experience's in life & helps me to process them & move forward, so I can live a healthier life with boundaries & less shame”

“As I continue my journey of self-kindness and self-love, I am evolving in ways I never knew possible. Along side me is Patty who is always helping me to understand how I can appreciate myself, acknowledge my growth and encourage me as a face the hard stuff. She continues to be a blessing to my process and my path.”

“She is experienced, intuitive and very responsive”

“Love her work”

“After over a year of working with Patty, she truly feels like part of our family. She’s helped us build better communication, understand our family dynamics, and grow as parents. We are a closer family because of it. What sets her apart is the way she balances real expertise with warmth and even laughter, making every session feel safe and productive. If you’re a family looking for someone who will meet you where you are and help you get where you want to go, we’d recommend her without hesitation.”

“She is a wonderful listener and has helped my marriage greatly! She doesnt just choose sides in couples therapy and is a wonderful person!”

“Patty has a remarkable gift for creating a space where defenses naturally fall away. She fosters an environment where every emotion—from deep-seated anger to quiet regret—is welcomed without judgment. Throughout a "tornado" of life events, including the loss of a parent, a child’s illness, and a difficult divorce, Patty has been my grounding force. Whether we are sharing laughter through the pain or sitting together through "tears on top of tears," she has walked with me every step of the way. I cannot recommend her highly enough for anyone navigating funnel clouds.”

“I am so very thankful for my therapist. She is an amazing human and I could not have asked for a better match. Thoughtful, caring and extremely helpful is my description.”

“Patricia is a great fit for us very helpful with actionable advice.”

“I like that she checks in between sessions. I use her messages as a chance to reflect and decide what I need to talk about with here in our formal sessions. It feels nice knowing she is looking out for me even between scheduled sessions and that she is just a text away if things get difficult.”

“Patricia listens intently and has good advice to offer different perspectives. She has also provided me with some very helpful resources to continue practices better health outside of sessions.”

“Patricia O'Neal has been extremely helpful in my healing journey. I look forward to each session with her. She makes me feel comfortable & safe to express myself freely. She's given me extremely helpful tools to help me through times when I feel anxious, overwhelmed, & stressed. Frankly she's amazing & I highly recommend therapy sessions with her for anyone who's suffered a lot of loss, trauma, &/or abusive relationships.”

“Opened minded<br /> ,takes our feelings and thoughts into consideration. Does not over step, she’s immediately easy to speak to.”
