Hi, I’m Patricia Ductan
LMHC, founder of New Perspectives Psychotherapy
I believe therapy should help you understand yourself and make your life actually work better.
I work with adults and couples who are ready for change, even if they’re not quite sure what that change needs to look like yet. I have particular experience supporting women navigating ADHD, anxiety, pregnancy and postpartum changes, burnout, and major life transitions.
Many of my clients are capable, thoughtful people who find themselves caught in patterns they can’t seem to think their way out of. You may be managing anxiety, work stress, perfectionism, ADHD, burnout, a major life transition, low mood, relationship conflict, or the emotional changes that can come with pregnancy and postpartum life. You may look like you have everything together while privately feeling overwhelmed, scattered, disconnected, or exhausted from trying to keep up.
My style is warm, collaborative, and practical. I primarily work from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) framework while integrating other approaches based on your needs. We’ll look beneath what’s happening on the surface, understand the patterns keeping you stuck, and build strategies that fit your actual life, not an idealized version of it.
You don’t have to have everything figured out before you begin. You just have to be willing to get curious about what could be different.

New Perspectives Clinical Approach
Therapy Is Where We Figure Out What’s Actually Going On.
I see therapy as a collaborative process. You bring what you’re experiencing, and together we start looking for the patterns underneath it—how your thoughts affect your emotions, how those emotions influence your behavior, and how your environment may be reinforcing the cycle.
I primarily work from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) framework. That means we won't only talk about what happened this week. We'll get curious about why certain patterns keep repeating and identify where we can create a shift that leads to a different outcome.
And the work doesn't stop when our session ends.
I believe therapy should translate into your day-to-day life. We may practice new skills, challenge a thought you've been carrying, try something different between sessions, and come back to see what worked—and what didn't.
My role isn't to hand you all the answers. It's to help you recognize the clues, understand your own patterns, and become better equipped to navigate them yourself.
We’re in it until we figure out what works for you.
Why New Perspectives Psychotherapy?
Practical therapy that still goes deeper.
Therapy with me combines insight with practical change. We can explore why certain patterns developed while also focusing on what can help you feel and function differently now.
My work is especially suited for adults who are used to being capable and independent but have reached a point where managing everything alone no longer feels sustainable. Whether you’re navigating ADHD, anxiety, burnout, pregnancy or postpartum changes, a major transition, or relationship concerns, therapy is tailored to your goals and your life.
You don’t need to arrive with the right words or a perfectly defined problem. We can start with what you’re noticing and work from there.
A new perspective can create room for a different choice.
