Patricia Brickman, LMHC
About me
I am licensed mental health therapist that has been working in the mental health field for the last 7 years and providing therapy for 3 years. I have worked in inpatient psychiatric facilities, residential eating disorder treatment, and in community based intensive outpatient and outpatient mental health counseling clinics. I graduated from Northwest University in Kirkland, WA in 2018 with my Masters in Counseling Psychology. I have been working as a therapist since this time. I work mostly with adults from age 18-35 and I specialize in many different issues and treatment approaches. I have experience working with relationship difficulties, self esteem and body image issues, woman's issues, parenting stressors and postpartum concerns, trauma, and life changes and events. I work from a client-centered approach through a trauma-informed lens. I use emotion focused therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and holistic approaches to help you better understand yourself and begin to make changes to live a life that you feel is worth living.

Tricia has a warm and welcoming demeanor that both meets you where you're at and encourages growth. She is friendly, respectful, and provides a safe and comfortable environment where you can work through your issues.

She is awesome. Always helps me when I'm at my lowest but also supports me when I'm doing well. Her insight and skill to pick up on things is out of this world. Best therapist I have ever had, hands down.

Patricia has been hands down the best therapist I’ve encountered (and I’ve had many). She’s very knowledgeable and has helped hold me accountable to healing in the ways I’ve wanted to and also has created many moments of clarity for me when I’ve been dealing with anxiety or relationship issues. I highly recommend her she has added much needed support in my life.

Very easy to talk to! Always very kind and professional, but also approachable! I knew from the first session that she would be fantastic to work with and she’s been nothing but great since!

Patricia is THE BEST! I connected with her right off the bat and have thoroughly enjoyed our discussions. She strikes a great balance of offering an understanding of your situation and asking thought provoking questions to get you to evaluate your thinking. I'm learning so much about myself and can't wait to learn more! I'd recommend Patricia to anyone and everyone. She's given me faith that therapy will work for me :)
