Patricia Maksoudian

Patricia aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people who feel overwhelmed. Her work often focuses on recovering from past wounds and managing strong emotions like anger, guilt, or shame.

She also supports people dealing with infidelity, commitment doubts, blended family issues, and the ripple effects of military or veteran experiences. Patricia uses approaches that address both present relationships and earlier family of origin patterns.

Patricia blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method with mindfulness and trauma-focused techniques. She uses these tools to help people understand patterns, practice new ways of relating, and calm the nervous system after stressful events.

Sessions emphasize clear communication skills and small changes that add up. Clients describe practical steps they can try between visits, such as mindful breathing, structured conversations, and strategies to reduce reactivity.

Patricia’s perspective is influenced by her Christian-informed values, which can shape conversations about forgiveness and purpose when clients wish to include that. She tailors work to each person’s values and life situation.

Patricia holds a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential in Michigan and Indiana. She brings 26 years of clinical experience and helps people navigate life changes with steady support and focused tools.
