My name is Tammy Patrick. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with over 8 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked in schools, residential and community services for children, adolescents, adults, older adults, and families. I use CBT along with an eclectic variety of techniques to meet the individual needs of each client. Counseling is designed to help you gain greater insight into your life and help you build awareness, compassion, understanding, respect, empathy, and acceptance toward yourself and others.

Each individual and family face unique and complex challenges in their lives. Shaped by a combination of personal experiences, relationships, and outside influences, these challenges can be overwhelming. Understanding the uniqueness of each person’s journey is at the core of my approach to therapy. I serve as a guide to help clients express themselves authentically and embrace their inner resources through life’s many transitions. I am dedicated to creating a safe, trusting space where you feel heard and respected. I walk alongside you in sessions, incorporating humor and lightheartedness to create a warm, welcoming environment.

It can be hard to ask for help, but it's even harder to find someone who is both easy to approach AND knowledgeable. This is the only work I have done in my professional life and get it. I will create room for you to grow by collaboratively developing a safe, private, and down-to-earth space with you - with or without your Loved Ones - to break free from old patterns and experience therapeutic Growth. Please feel free to review my website - as well as reviews on Google, Facebook, and Healthgrades - to see testimonials from past clients about their personal experiences.

I am passionate about helping people get to know themselves more deeply and to find opportunities for growth in all circumstances. I believe deeply in the process of therapy and feel strongly that all of our experiences hold potential for growth and insight. I offer a compassionate and understanding perspective in an environment that values your confidentiality.

Do any of these words stand out to you? Anxiety, overwhelm, stress, drained, pressure to perform, executive, perfectionist, identity, transition, exploration, instability OR addiction. Maybe you are a “go getter” in your career or school. Maybe you are seeking clarity about identity or you're in a place of transition. Are you losing sight of who you are from your work or from societal norms? People can place so much demand on themselves to excel or fit into a box within society that someone can ignore their own wellness. Let’s find YOU, whether you feel like you have lost sight of who you are feel like you have never found yourself.

I take a person-centered, motivational approach in my practices. I enjoy working with individuals to navigate every kind of challenge, whether they are personal, with family, or with peers. I recognize that you may not only need a cheerleader to celebrate the good, but also to help you push through difficult times. While I believe that pharmacology may be a necessary aid for many, I understands there may be concerns, and is also supportive of those who wish to seek healing through non-medicated means. I am willing to help you find the most appropriate and comfortable option.

I believe in the healing power of relationships. Often, what leads people to therapy is feeling disconnected from the world around them. Humans are relational creatures with a primal need to feel accepted, so disconnection in relationships can leave one feeling hopeless. You can expect me to help you through relational healing. Together, we will look at your relationship to self and how this impacts the way you navigate relationships with others. As a systems thinker, I often help clients look at their support systems and explore ways to strengthen their sense of belongingness through family and community.

My treatment modality includes cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I pride myself in assisting individuals of all ages with the adverse effects of various life stressors to improve their quality of life. I have counseled individuals who struggle with childhood trauma, anxiety, and depression. As a clinician, I strive to maintain a strong therapeutic alliance, based on trust, respect, and non-judgment. I understand that no two clients are the same, and treatment should be person-centered based on each unique individual.

I specialize in working with individuals that are wanting to find peace in relationships - both with themselves and with others. After trauma, difficult situations, or toxic relationships, it is easy to shut down and experience loss of purpose, spiritual questioning, isolation, depression, or anxiety. I work with people like you to heal from your past, learn about yourself, and grow towards your future. I don't know what brought you here but everyone has a story and I would love to help you process yours.

My ideal client is one who is established in their life and community, yet they are unhappy and feel stagnant or stuck. They may struggle in their professional career or feel unfulfilled in the workplace. They may be socially isolated or do not connect well with people their age. This individual, on the outside, appears to have it all, but they are not satisfied with their life. This individual may have untreated depression and/or anxiety. They may have come from a family of dysfunction and managed to get away from it. They need someone to assist them in examining this and determine what they want out of life.

Are you tired of feeling stuck in the same patterns of behavior and thought? Do you want to break free from the grips of trauma, anxiety, or depression and live a life full of joy and purpose? If so, you've come to the right place. I am passionate about helping individuals find the strength and courage to overcome their challenges and transform their lives. I believe that therapy is a collaborative process that requires trust, compassion, and empathy. That is why I provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your deepest fears, hopes, and dreams without fear of shame or rejection.

I have experience with working with clients who have been diagnosed with major depression, Bipolar, anxiety, schizophrenia, substance use disorders. I have worked with clients who have been involved in unhealthy relationship where they have been traumatized by domestic violence. I have worked in the penal system where was able to see clients turn their life around and is now living a productive lifestyle.

Are you experiencing distress and brokenness in your life? Carrying this heaviness can feel overwhelming and can overtake moments of hope and joy. We all desperately desire to be alleviated from the pain and suffering we experience. When dealing with multiple life challenges it can feel at times impossible to take one step forward. Despite our circumstances, we all have the ability to move forward one step at a time. To alleviate our distress, it might require leaning more into ourselves with the help of a therapist. I want to provide a safe haven for you to come as you are; meeting you with trust, acceptance, and empathy.

You might feel distressed and overwhelmed, despite doing your best to hold it all together. You are a capable and strong person, but you want more insight, concrete skills, and deeper support to sift through the problems and questions clogging up your mind . You may have faced experiences in your upbringing that gave you the motivation to change certain patterns and reroute your direction.. The trauma, stressors, and losses in your way make you feel vulnerable, ready for change, and maybe even a little lost at times.

As you take in these words, I want you to picture the kind of change that lies ahead—the kind that gently guides you away from those endless nights of tossing and turning, from the heaviness of your struggles. Recovery isn't just a distant goal; it's a step-by-step journey toward rediscovering peace and connection. Think of me as your companion on this path. (Spanish) Mientras lee, espero que visualice cómo se sentirá la recuperación después de incontables noches de insomnio y angustia. El proceso de sanación requiere acción y estoy aquí para ayudarte a descrubrir la paz y conexión que podrías tener contigo misma(o).

Are you dealing with anxious thoughts, low-motivation, depression or intense worry that won’t go away? Struggling to navigate new life transitions, self-confidence or symptoms of trauma? I provide a space of acceptance and strength to guide you in effectively managing anxiety, depression, life stressors and trauma.

I offer a safe gender affirming, body acceptance, feminist, and multicultural approach in therapy that focuses on the whole person. Humanistic (whole person) psychology often refers to a therapy modality that emphasizes focus on the entire scope of the individual supporting clients in achieving a deeper understanding and connection with their true self. My ultimate goal is for the client to feel seen and heard through an empathetic, safe, and unbiased environment.

Life presents challenges, and we are compelled to adapt, but this does not mean we have to do it alone. Whether you need a helping hand, or are simply looking for someone to confide in, I want to offer you a judgment-free space of support. I strongly believe that having a place to be present with your emotions can make all the difference. We all have our own struggles that make us feel vulnerable and uncertain. However, I have always trusted that the human brain is innately programmed to be resilient and powerful. And your mind is nothing short of incredible.

Life can be unpredictable with unbelievable challenges. As we experience these "life moments," it is challenging to seek help or know where to go. I offer an "eclectic" approach to treating clients through my training in Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Dialectic Behavior Therapy. My number one priority is building a supportive therapeutic connection with my clients to help them feel comfortable as they work through difficult turning points in their lives.
