Rachel Patten, LCSW

I'm a licensed clinical social worker with a Master in Social Work from the University of Illinois at Chicago and a Bachelor of Education and Social Policy from Northwestern University. I have worked in the mental health field since 2016, including providing crisis counseling, therapy, case management, and outreach in Portland, Oregon. I approach therapy first and foremost from a strengths based and relational perspective and strongly believe in the healing power of connection. I draw from a variety of theories and modalities including internal family systems, dialectical behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and narrative therapy. I draw from critical race theory and feminist theory to continually work towards providing trauma informed and anti-oppressive care. Research has shown that quality of relationship with your therapist is the single greatest indicator of how effective it will be. With this in mind, I offer free 15 minute phone consultations so that we can see if we align. Fees and insurance: Current rate is $185 per hour. I am currently in network with Aetna and Cigna and bill through Headway. I can provide you with a superbill so that you can seek out-of-network reimbursement from your insurance provider. I do offer a limited number of sliding scale and reduced fee spots for individuals who are paying out of pocket, please reach out to learn more.
