Meet Miranda!

Advocate Access NW is so excited to welcome Miranda Patrick to our team as a Positive Behavioral Support Advocate! Miranda is an incredibly well-rounded professional whose main focus is supporting and empowering others in any way she can. Her compassionate approach and dedication to person-centered care make her a perfect fit for our mission. We’re excited for the positive impact she’ll bring and even more excited for you to get to know her!

Here is a short bio to get to know Miranda!

I am person-centered, compassionate, and will always use a strengths-based approach while completing assessments and observations.
I will always respect an individual’s or family’s lived experiences and personal goals.
I’ve dedicated my career to supporting individuals with acute behavioral health and developmental disabilities on various multidisciplinary teams. My roles on those teams have included being a Care Coordinator and a Therapist.
I love obnoxious reality TV, the color pink, Animal Crossing, and must have coffee to function. I’m super excited to get to know you all.
