Meet your Care Coordinator

Nice to meet you!

I’m Debra Patterson

⭐ About Debra

As a Care Coordinator here at Manatee, I partner with families to help them access care and therapy in a way that feels supportive and manageable. I have spent 18 years working with children, youth, and families, and I am also a parent—giving me a deep understanding of both the professional and personal challenges families may face. I believe families are the experts on their children, and my role is to provide guidance, advocacy, and encouragement while helping families navigate systems of care with confidence and hope.
