About me

Welcome!

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LCADC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) with MA and EdS degrees in Counseling as well as an MBA. I am also certified as a NJ School Counselor and a Disaster Response Crisis Counselor (DRCC). I have worked as a counselor, therapist, supervisor, and director for non-profit mental health agencies and I am also an EMT so I have a foundational medical background and familiarity with stressful situations. After graduating with a master's degree in counseling, I chose to pursue an MBA degree to gain professional business knowledge.

I have extensive experience working with individuals with mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and other mental health concerns. I also have experience working with families/couples for marriage and family therapy and relationship counseling and in addition, I have also worked with business professionals experiencing work-related stress and concerns.

I have worked with teenagers, adults, couples, and families and strive to provide support and guidance to the individuals that I am assisting. I strive to help individuals feel empowered to make choices and decisions that they may be struggling with. Making the decision to contact a therapist can be difficult for some and my goal is to make the process as welcoming as possible. I present myself in a relaxed and informal manner that is collaborative in nature. You likely will find that therapy sessions with me most resemble a warm conversation in a soothing setting.

I look forward to helping you develop and achieve your goals and find the peace that you may be seeking!

Patti has been great and very helpful! She gives me sound advice and listens to me.

Written on Sep 05, 2023 after therapy with Patti for 4 years and 3 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, grief, self esteem, career difficulties, and adhd

I've been talking to Patti for four years next month and while I don't feel like I need to as often as I did when I first started, just knowing in my pocket is someone who knows what I've been through and what I've struggled with is very helpful. I check in when I feel like I need some extra support and she checks in when she hasn't heard from me which is also helpful. I definitely recommend her and enjoy talking through things with her. The holidays are a hard time for a lot of people and I'm no exception to that and so it's nice to know I have her there in my corner when needed during the hard times.

For the short time that I was in contact with Ms..Kousoulis, I found here to be caring and attentive. I would recommend her and would like to be paired with her in the future.

Patti has helped me considerably on a previous problem and found her responsible and easy to speak to. Hopefully she can help me work through another issue.
