Patricia Barrientes, Therapist

Patricia Barrientes helps children, adolescents, and adults across Texas build stability, resilience, and meaningful change through compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. At LifeStance Health, she provides individual therapy tailored to each patient’s needs, supporting those navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns. Her approach emphasizes creating a safe, collaborative environment where patients feel heard while developing practical skills to improve daily functioning and emotional well-being. Patricia has particular expertise in ADHD, anxiety, and trauma, and she integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness techniques into treatment. She works with children and adolescents as well as adults, and has experience supporting individuals within adoption and foster care systems, as well as those with autism spectrum disorders and developmental disabilities. She also offers care for individuals facing additional mental health challenges beyond these areas. A central focus of Patricia’s work is supporting individuals who have been recently discharged from a psychiatric hospital. She is passionate about helping these patients transition back into daily life with stability and confidence, reducing the risk of relapse while strengthening coping strategies, emotional regulation, and continuity of care. Patricia has been practicing since 2019 and is known for her thoughtful, patient-centered approach. Outside of her clinical work, she enjoys reading, writing short stories, arts and crafts, and spending time with her family and pets.
