Patricia Trippe

If you're looking for a therapist who is direct and will challenge you, I might be a good fit. I'm not a therapist to just sit, listen, and provide head nods; leaving you feeling like nothing was accomplished. My approach is straight forward and transparent. I'm able to probe if needed and provide honest and direct feedback when necessary. While I'm here to listen, my priority is to help people improve their lives. I enjoy working with Trauma, Anxiety and OCD especially.

In these uncertain times, I can assure you that I operate from a feminist lens and am LGBTQIA 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ affirming/culturally aware.

My approach is highly behavioral. I urge my patients to make behavioral changes that will improve their lives.

I specialize in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I also have training and experience in CBT, DBT, CPT, ERP and Motivational Interviewing. I work with you to identify what is truly important to you, and the kind of person you'd like to be. Then we can work together to figure out how to make that happen. I'll meet you where you're at, and also help you move beyond your comfort zone.

How sessions are held will be up to you and what you're looking for. You may be coming to therapy for a safe space to talk through issues. I can provide guidance, while helping you explore specific goals to elicit change. Together we'll look at what you'd like to change in your life, and where to start. We may also explore coping skills to deal with stress or mood changes that you have no control over.
