Hello my name is Patricia “Patt” Carrington. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Wisconsin. I am a compassionate professional with 30 years of experience in providing social services, case management and trauma counseling working with diverse groups of all ages. I have a calm and easy-going demeanor with the ability to a create a working rapport, develop trust and maintain meaningful relationships. I am non-judgmental, solution focused, and results-oriented.

I work with individuals, couples, and youths as they face challenges through life's transitions. Together we will work as a team to find workable solutions that fit in your life's journey.
I began my career as a social worker working with women and children impacted by abuse and trauma issues. I love helping people find the best path for themselves, as you are the most knowledgeable about what works best in your life. My therapy style and approach is influenced by Solution-Focused Therapy which is future-focused, goal-directed, and focuses on solutions to help you get to the place in your life where you can be the best version of yourself. We will work together as a team to help you set goals and learn ways to navigate life's daily challenges.
Thank you for checking out my site! Before we start working together I just wanted to give a little information about scheduling. I am available evenings and weekends. As single parent I always looked for providers and activities that were available after day-working/school hours. I continued this into private my practice for families who could not miss work or school, but needed therapy services to accommodate their lives. I am available weekday evenings after 6:00pm, Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00am to 4:00pm. I check messages about 2-3 times per day, usually in the morning, afternoon and evening. I will always respond within 24 hours. I look forward to chatting with you and if you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out!

She is really nice and is very patient. She's got the good knowledge and you can take as much time as you need with her. She's really easy to talk to and I feel very comfortable with her. She's a no nonsense and helps you get to the point, and a very good guide when it comes to talking to get to the point.

She is fantastic and extremely knowledgeable in a lot of areas. I wanted help with communication but she addressed numerous other things I wouldn't have connected the dots on. Nice, caring, motivating, and the most enjoyable therapist I've had the pleasure of working with.

Pat is exactly who I have needed in my life for years. I have utilized many therapists throughout my life, but they do not compare to her. From the moment I met her, I knew it would be a match. Her presence is everything. She is empathetic, kind, and caring. She challenges me in my way of thinking which is exactly what I have needed. I want to change my thinking and be able to better understand myself and others. She does exactly this. I can't say enough amazing things about her.

Pat has been an incredible support system, mentor, and guide to what I’ve been feelings. She has opened my eyes to perspectives about situations I’ve replayed over in my head and never come across before. She is such a calming presence that diving into difficult things isnt scary or intimidating. Her use of articles and exercises really strengthens things we talk about by providing the words I can put to feelings. I absolutely adore Pat.

Patricia is a wonderful woman who listens and gives realistic solutions, as well as, pose questions for you to figure out on your own. She is also well versed in opportunities in her field and was able to recommend jobs in similar fields I didn't know existed, giving me hope for my desired career. Unlike another counselor I was given, she did video chats and phone calls along with messages.
