You come home from work and can't unwind - the stress of your day is keeping your thoughts churning and your anxiety up. You’re regularly on edge and binge-watching Netflix & drinking wine is not really working. It’s hard for you to enjoy your kids and partner because the anxious thoughts overrun you. It’s difficult to say no to co-workers and friends because you don’t want to let anyone down, but you’re exhausted. The to-do list keeps getting longer and there’s no real time for you – the life you thought you’d be living seems just out of your grasp.

To speak freely about your unique suffering, symptoms, and thoughts is very difficult in a society that expects and demands a continuous state of happiness. This leads to alienation, confusion, and endless methods to cope with life. In psychoanalysis, there is no such thing as normal, and there are no standards. Choosing psychoanalysis is the first step to begin understanding your symptoms, feeling in charge of your life, and finding guidance in your desire.

I can help you transmute the immense power of your story into positive change in your life. Many psychological, emotional, and spiritual problems boil down to conflicts between our inner world (our goals, desires, loves, aversions, spiritual realizations) and our outer world (demands of family, relationships, career, money, social groups). It's natural to internalize the outer world and externalize the inner world, but that's also the source of many of our troubles. I offer careful, authoritative, compassionate guidance to help you sort this out and right the ship for a healthy, sane, awakened life.

It’s an honor and a privilege to support my clients through in-home therapy. I empower clients to navigate challenges and difficulties in their lives at times when they need more support or during a transitional period. These difficulties may include chronic pain, ongoing health issues, loss of independence, memory impairment, grief, depression or anxiety. Many of my clients are older adults and people who are disabled. I am experienced in assisting my clients with identifying barriers in everyday life and working on goals together, so that as a team we can improve their quality of life. I also provide case management as needed.

When you work with me, you can expect to be heard. You can expect that we will work together to achieve the goals that we set for our time together. You can expect that I will be working outside of our time together to gather information, resources, and suggestions that I think would be beneficial to your goals. You can expect an ally, someone who listens to your story and reflects the strengths that are inherent in your survival. You can expect that I will be walking with you to create the life you want.

Sex Addiction is a black hole. Getting help via a therapeutic relationship where the client can be heard, accepted, empathized with and helped to feel safe can lead to the healing of freedom from this addiction. Tools for growth, new strength, a greater life balance, clarity are used. I have a passion for coming alongside individuals who are seeking freedom from this addiction, helping them to see a path to that freedom and walking alongside them on that precious journey. The greatest satisfaction I derive is from seeing an individual attain his or her life goals through this special therapeutic relationship. First consult is free.

I specialize in EFT and trauma therapy for couples, families and individuals. I am a Certified Emotionally Focused Therapist (EFT) and Supervisor. I also work with Janina Fisher's model of trauma treatment which is a blend of modalities including IFS and sensorimotor psychotherapy. I have been certified in EMDR and Brainspotting and use them for emotionally charged issues, stuck patterns and trauma. I love working with couples to create lasting change that touches the heart of the person and the relationship. See my website for more information: nicolpate.com

(My practice is currently full). I work with people who are looking to feel connected to themselves & others, no longer limited by the patterning, conditioning, stories, triggers, attachment styles & past pains that have been interfering with your life & relationships. The foundation of my therapy is to create a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore, heal & grow in new ways. I see you as the expert of your life and experiences, & I see my role as a support, catalyst, guide & companion on your journey of transformation. I prefer swimming in the deep waters, cherishing & respecting the uniqueness of everyone's process.

You’re here because you want to find a counselor or coach to help you solve a problem. Life happens. Overwhelm happens. You may not know why.  Counseling and coaching provide opportunities and tools to address your concerns, move to your goals.  No matter how much pain or difficulty you are in, hope exists. I offer tools to learn, practice and integrate at your own pace. My expertise is with individuals and families on the stress-trauma-addiction continuum: meaning any behavior that initially brings relief but over time the circular pattern ends in pain.

My mission is to help teens, young adults, and families discover the wisdom within to succeed, thrive, and grow. Through mindfulness- and emotionally focused approaches, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where connection and self-knowing lead to well-being, growth, and authentic expression.

I'm here to help you, your family, your child (re)discover the love in your relationships with yourself and your family, as well as your inner wisdom and resiliency. I will provide you with support and coping skills in order to recover from trauma, mental illness, attachment disorders, and other stressors.

Breaking through the barriers. What keeps you from true happiness and living the life you truly love? Perhaps you are in an unfulfilling intimate relationship that is not meeting your needs, or you desire a long-term meaningful partnership but keep finding that area to be a struggle. Are friendships and community challenging? Is your relationship with your family or particular family members in conflict? Often it is a need to learn to cope with difficult emotions such as anxiety and fears, negative thinking or challenging relationships that keep you from experiencing a life of joy and happiness.

Somatic therapy for multicultural and LGBTQIA+ folks, and for creatives to heal from past traumas, learn healthy patterns in relationship, manage chronic illness & pain, and thrive despite day to day stressors. My clients come to therapy for support with anxiety & depression but also to find more ways to access creativity, resilience, and joy! I love working with clients to explore big life questions, find what it means to stay true to yourself while living authentically between multiple expectations, cultures & languages. With over 15 years of experience, I use mindfulness, somatics, neuroscience, and supportive & honest feedback.

Are you having difficulty moving beyond a traumatic experience? Are you surprised by your own intense emotions, or are you more numb and withdrawn? You may be feeling stuck and unfulfilled, wondering if this is all life has to offer. Regardless of what challenges you are experiencing, there is a way for you to feel safe, find peace and happiness, and love yourself fully. With my attuned, direct, and holistic approach to trauma therapy, you can heal past wounds and reconnect with your passions and inspirations for life, all while growing and strengthening your relationships with others and yourself.
