About Us
Faith Patten
STUDENT INTERN
Pronouns: she/her
Born and raised in Portland, Faith earned her bachelor’s degree in psychology and American Sign Language at Portland State University before starting her master’s degree in clinical Mental Health Counseling at Grand Canyon University. During her undergraduate program, Faith completed her senior capstone with SMYRC, a queer resource center in Portland, Oregon focusing on culturally specific support for LBGTQIA2S+ youth. Faith brings a compassionate, person-centered approach to her work as a student intern, emphasizing collaboration, authenticity, and respect for each client’s lived experience. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building psychological flexibility and meaningful coping skills. Faith focuses on clients’ strengths and values, using a trauma-informed lens to create a supportive and affirming therapeutic space. She is especially mindful of how personal, cultural, and social contexts shape an individual’s story, and she works collaboratively with clients to explore identity, increase self-awareness, and foster resilience. In her free time, she loves spending time with her dog, Clementine, or painting. Her heartfelt goal is for clients to feel seen, heard, and empowered as they move toward healing and meaningful change. Faith is a student intern, completing requirements for her master's degree in Mental Health Counseling, and works under direct supervision. She currently works with individual clients ages 5+ and their families.
Faith provides telehealth and in-person services at our Gladstone office.
