Showing up as your authentic self in the world can be scary. Will I be accepted? Why am I the way that I am? What are these feelings I’m experiencing, and can I trust them? I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore and process all of these questions and more.
As a therapist I believe that you are the expert on the story you’re writing. I am simply here to come alongside you in your journey to grow and heal – to support you, to collaborate with you, sometimes to laugh or cuss or cry with you (sometimes all at the same time!).

Taking the first step towards improving your relationship with yourself and others requires an acknowledgement and recognition of challenges that continue to reveal themselves over time. The next step revolves around making the decision to make proactive change. What about the next step? Finding a practitioner who can meet your needs requires you to email, call, and schedule an initial consultation where both you and the clinician screen one another. If it's not the right fit, you would restart the process to find another. What if we could make that process easy for you?

Supporting adolescents and their families has been a passion of mine for some time. If you are concerned about signs of anxiety, depression, grief, or suicidal behaviors, please reach out. My time in both community and outpatient hospital settings has provided me with the ability to build rapport quickly while incorporating evidenced based modalities at a high level. Life for teens can be challenging due to the pressures from illegal substances, street culture, social media and technology. Don't feel as if you have to navigate it alone.

Therapy for trauma, mood, or anxiety work with EMDR, IFS parts work, ACT/Mindfulness, Narrative and Nurturing/Relational approaches.
Virtual support can often increase efficient time management and be easier for those who are distant from higher resource areas or have limited transportation. It is often preferred by introverted neurodivergent individuals who may work from home and can take a break in the day for their sessions.

I support overworked adults as they find some relief, stressed college students gain balance, and support those in strained relationships at work, with family, or friends, implement boundaries. Before treatment, many of my clients felt emotionally paralyzed, helpless, on edge, exhausted, and that things were unmanageable. I support them as they reflect on what caused them to get to this point and identified ways to move forwar. In therapy, you cannot selectively heal just one area of your life because a positive change in one area directly improves another. I exclusively provide phone and/or video counseling sessions to clients.

As a therapist, and owner of Jarrece Patrick Psychotherapy & Consulting my goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel truly seen and heard. I understand that reaching out for help takes courage, and I want to honor that step by meeting you with compassion, respect, and genuine care.

I will use a mixture of systems theory, IFS, narrative therapy and ACT; but most importantly the work we do is collaborative with you leading the way.
My ideal client is someone ready to make a change that propels them to their next chapter in life. I believe that my clients most value my ability to remain optimistic while keeping a firm grasp on reality. We all want to reach the highest levels of self actualization, but if your anxiety, depression, or ADHD are making it hard to complete daily living tasks that may feel out of reach. My diverse experience helps me accurately empathize with a variety of life issues. I have previously worked as a primary grade teacher, residential eating disorder treatment, and assisting a psychiatrist specializing in ADHD treatment for adults.
