ABOUT ME
Hello, I have been working with clients, and families, for the past 20 years. My experience includes dealing with a variety of concerns that impact their lives. I believe that who we are and what we are have been, to some degree, influenced by others which is sometimes out of our control. Who we are, our identity, can sometimes get lost and we just need a listening ear to get us back on the right path. My focus in counseling will always be that we have choices in the path we take in our lives, which empowers us to regain control of our lives: regardless of the circumstances we find ourselves in while on this journey called life.
A friend of mine said to me during one of our conversations, “the time you wake up in the morning is your morning, but you need to wake up.” This is your morning because you have reached out and I am glad that you did.
I look forward to working with you

Mr Patrick Lawrence, is a very intelligent and experienced therapist who understands my concerns and needs. He also gives me good advice about my marital issues. I would recommend him to all potential clients who have experienced trauma or other issues related to family members.

Patrick is amazing. I think what truly stands out is how attentive he is! Patrick checks In regularly, notices changes in just a text and has a cool way about him that I’ve never hesitated. In 27 years, not one therapist has been able to find me so receptive and I plan on sticking around for a while

I’ve tried a few therapists. He’s one of the only ones to talk to me like human and not like a clinician. He’s kind and supportive without just blindly agreeing with everything you say. I feel lucky to have been paired with him!
