Patricia Wornum

Patricia Wornum is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Massachusetts who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with addiction. She also supports people dealing with parenting challenges, relationship and family conflicts, and questions around self-esteem. Patricia aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and respectful of each person's pace.

She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Conversations are practical and grounded, focusing on what is getting in the way of daily life and what small changes might help. Patricia listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and works with clients to try different responses.

Over a decade of experience informs her approach to trauma, panic, and mood concerns. She also gives attention to issues related to adoption and foster care when they come up, and to the strain of caregiving and compassion fatigue. Her work includes addressing grief, guilt, and isolation as they affect everyday functioning.

Patricia emphasizes collaboration and clear goals. Sessions typically include checking current concerns, naming steps to try between meetings, and reviewing what helped. She encourages questions about the process so people feel more confident about next steps.

People who choose her often want steady, practical support as they make changes. Her approach suits those who prefer straightforward conversation, thoughtful reflection, and a focus on real-life coping skills.
