Introduction: Dr. Patterson's approach involves not only "book knowledge and research", but over 30 years of experiences working with adults, adolescents, athletes, businesses, schools, and children. Many clients comment about immediately feeling at ease with his down to earth and empathetic style, and his ability to motivate his clients to make good decisions for themselves and maximize their potential.
Enhancing and maximizing the full potential of individuals has been my primary focus and emphasis in my years as a Counselor, Therapist and over 30 years as a Psychologist and Professional Speaker. As my practice shifts to accepting more professional speaking opportunities, I am now able to reach many more individuals by sharing my messages that can help enhance job performance, interpersonal relationships, and markedly improve one's ability to achieve their goals, dreams, and aspirations. As a psychologist, I previously have worked with one individual at a time for psychological evaluations or therapeutic sessions, and occasionally work with four to six individuals in group therapy. I am now devoting the majority of my time to speaking professionally and writing. It is particularly gratifying to speak with and write material that can improve the lives of large groups of individuals seeking to better their lives in the workplace or in their personal lives.
