Patricia Foyder-DeVoe
Hello! My name is Trisha and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years experience as a psychotherapist. I earned a Bachelor’s of Science Degree from Fordham University, NYC, and went on to earn a Master’s of Social Work Degree from Fordham University Graduate School of Social Work. Upon graduation, I worked in a community mental health clinic and was quickly promoted to supervising psychotherapist. From there, I went into private practice working with individuals, young adults, couples and families dealing with issues such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, relationship problems, parenting and family difficulties, trauma, abuse, grief, loss, and major life changes. My counseling style focuses on authenticity and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. I strive to provide a positive, judgment free zone where clients feel safe and comfortable as they work through the issues they are struggling with. My therapeutic approach is rooted in psychodynamic theory, but I use a variety of methods tailored to your particular needs. My focus is on assisting you in identifying what you want to accomplish from our work together and then providing you with the support and tools to accomplish those goals.
