Patricia Stryd Marriage & Family Therapist Home Page
Description
Pat has been a therapist for 10 years and in private practice since 1994. She was trained in Solution Focused Therapy – a form of therapy that looks to solutions rather than problems in the course of treatment. It is a kind of therapy that brings hope and possibilities rather than getting bogged down in dysfunction and ways of behaving that don’t work. Many like it for the way it brings rapid change.
Pat has had experience and training at all parts of the developmental spectrum. She began her schooling in child development, worked with young children in a child-development center, has taught parent education classes for Fremont Unified School District since 1993, and has completed a significant number of her continuing education hours in couples therapy. This means she feels comfortable working with people of all ages. Since her own divorce in 1988, she has devoted much of her personal and professional career helping adults and children transition through divorce.
The local clergy often make referrals to Pat because of her Christian background and training. Christian counseling can be an essential adjunct for some people, and Pat is skilled at bringing Christian resources to therapy. Of course, no assumption is made about the desire to include Christian counseling in treatment.
