About Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy, often referred to as talk therapy, is a collaborative process between a trained mental health professional and a client. It aims to help individuals understand and manage their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to improve their overall mental health and well-being. Through regular sessions, clients can explore their challenges, gain insights, and develop strategies to overcome difficulties and achieve their goals.

At our practice, psychotherapy is grounded in compassion, balance, and insight. We provide a safe, supportive, and confidential environment where clients can express themselves freely and work towards personal growth and healing. Dr. Patino utilizes his years of deep clinical trainning to tailor his approach in an effort to meet the unique needs of each client, ensuring a personalized treatment experience.

Psychoanalysis

As a third year psychoanalytic candidate, I am offering a unique opportunity to engage in psychoanalysis at a reduced rate. As part of my training, I am looking for two (2) persons interested in participating in psychoanalytic treatment. The analysis will be conducted under the supervision of training and supervising psychoanalysts from Tampa Bay Institute for Psychoanalytic Studies (TBIPS).

What I Offer:

·       A deep, introspective approach to self-discovery and personal growth grounded in contemporary psychoanalytic theory

·       A compassionate, empathetic approach guided by years of academic and clinical training

·       Affordable rates with the benefit of ongoing supervision to ensure high-quality care

Psychoanalysis Requires Commitment:


Psychoanalysis aims to be a transformative and intensive process that typically involves several 45-minute sessions per week. This frequency creates the consistency and depth necessary for meaningful exploration of unconscious material. Please contact my office and specifically mention that you’re interested in psychoanalysis.

This service is only available via self-pay rate.
