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.

Can't say enough good about his listening and support

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!

Never thought I would benefit from therapy. Free session were offered through my jobs Life service site. The Better help portal has been easy to manage and the telehealth option for me has allowed me to share openly about my concerns instead of feeling judgment from a man. I greatly appreciate that my dr listens even when I am rambling or when I seem to be struggling with the same “hot topics”.
Thank you for the positive affirmation and helping me to grow.

I was honestly quite skeptical about joining Faithful Counseling due to the one unpleasant experience I had previously encountered with another therapist. In my very first meeting with Patrick, he actively listened and made me feel at ease. Even still, at the end of the meeting, he said a couple of things that challenged me which is exactly what I was needing. Patrick's balance of active listening and encouragement paired with helpful suggestions and challenges is perfect for me and quite rare in my experience in dealing with people for a living. I hope to be meeting with Patrick for a long while...he's been a Godsend.

Kind man , kind words. Great listener but can be a little slow to speak or get to the point. There is much wisdom in his words if only you can listen. The conversation is half the battle , meditating upon the conversation and implementing it is the other half. That is where most people fail in therapy , they claim to want change but think talking is the change.. that is not so. Talk therapy is only as effective if you allow it , talk therapy with Patrick is an amazing tool if utilized properly. Come prepared with notes and you will rapidly improve the outcome of your sessions.
