Patrick Cole

Hi there, I'm Patrick. Congrats on your first step! Being here means you are that much closer to your goals! At times, life challenges you in ways that can be hard to accept; sometimes, you can't seem to catch a break. As your therapist, my goal is to help you understand and process the difficult emotions related to life's challenges, such as anxiety, depression, anger, trauma responses, relationship problems, or general life stress. For 20 years, I have worked in many clinical environments and am ready to help you achieve your goals. I specialize in working with individuals dealing with ADHD, adolescent and teen mental/behavioral health, anger management, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, family relationships, grief/bereavement, life transitions, military/veteran support, phobias, PTSD, stress, suicidal ideation and/or self-harming, and trauma. I hold an MA and am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor. Outside of my professional life, I value continuous learning and personal growth. Let's confront this challenge together!

I want you to recognize and improve your strengths. I help you build skills using many proven therapeutic approaches, with a strong focus on solutions. My personality is gentle but direct, and it contributes to my patients achieving progress and growth in a firm, nurturing way from the very beginning.

Our first meeting will consist of building trust and rapport, and gaining insight on reasons you decided to start therapy. By the end of the session, at least one goal will be discussed with a strategy towards solutions.
