Eric Patterson, LPC, Clinic Director

Licensed Professional Counselor | Clinic Director

I am the Clinic Director at our Shadyside clinic.

Being a licensed professional counselor allows me the privilege of spending time with a client one-on-one to improve their well-being. Being a clinic director gives the opportunity to supervise and manage a team of mental health professionals all with the shared goal of helping clients understand and improve symptoms and stressors. With more than 20 years as a therapist and over 15 years as a supervisor and clinic director, I’m looking forward to bring my expertise to New Directions Mental Health.

If your find yourself with unwanted thoughts, uncomfortable feelings, and undesirable behaviors, scheduling time with me and my team at New Directions Mental Health can help you move from where you are to where you want to be.

Therapy is an incredibly important and potentially life-changing endeavor, but it can also be fun. I strongly believe that therapists should be fun and enlightening, so sessions leave you feeling motivated and empowered. Of course, some meetings will be difficult and draining, but you’ll be better for the experience.
