About me

I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than twenty years of experience in counting adult clients. My experience has led me to value the concepts of person-centered therapy and unconditional acceptance of the person and the circumstances. I am proficient in several contrasting therapy modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Trauma Therapy, and Self as Locus of Control. The core principals of the therapeutic relationship are very important to me and I believe in self determination to establish and accomplish goals that are meaningful to individuals.

I’ve never been a fan of counselors or therapists I’ve had in the past, but Patrick brings tears to my eyes because I’m so grateful to be connected to him. He has given me tools to receive clarity and a path to move forward consistently. I absolutely adore how he speaks to me in a very forward tone and manner, yet he still exercises patience, gentleness and more. Thank you so much Patrick Stephen’s!
