Patti Gregory
​MSW, LCSW, Saint Louis University
Hello, I'm Patti.
I began my career in high school education. When I went back for my master’s degree,
I realized I was more concerned about students’ safety and well-being than if they could
diagram a sentence. I got my master’s in social work about twenty years ago and since
that time, I have worked with people from all walks of life who all have unique stories.
My goal when I started my social work journey was to be a therapist and I love it!
Everyday life is a challenge, and situations occur that make it more difficult. I enjoy
working with teens, adults and older adults. All ages have difficulties just, from different perspectives. I want to help. I am compassionate, empathetic and person-centered.
My goal for each client is to work through problems and change their thought patterns to more positive thinking and return to better functioning in daily life. Problems don’t necessarily go away; we just learn how to manage them differently.
And last but certainly not least, I have a co-therapist in my office with me. Sawyer is my
certified therapy dog that comes to work with me every day. He enjoys being petted and
of course he loves treats! We work together to help clients feel safe and comfortable
coming to therapy.
