Patricia Tidwell

I practice integrative psychotherapy, drawing primarily from relational and attachment perspectives and EMDR. My work may also include mindfulness, Somatic Experiencing, and parts work as indicated. I work with individuals who have experienced recent acute trauma such as accidents, sexual assault, or natural disasters. I am particularly interested in working with developmental trauma – especially ways that early relational patterns have informed the adults’ experiences of self-in-the-world. I often focus on non-verbal, emotional and/or embodied experiences and communications.

On a personal note, this is my second career. Before becoming a psychotherapist, I worked in new product development in the beauty industry. The international focus of my work meant that I lived and worked in different parts of the world, giving me an understanding of the role of culture in self-experience. While I practice psychotherapy in English, I also speak French and Italian.

I have had a private practice with adults in New York for over 25 years. I have a certificate in psychoanalysis and am an EMDRIA certified therapist and approved consultant.
