Therapist

Licensed Professional Counselor who is passionate about creating a safe, welcoming space where you can show up just as you are. I work with children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, and life transitions, and I approach each client with curiosity, openness, and respect for their unique experiences. My style is warm, collaborative, and flexible—I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and we’ll work together to find what truly supports you. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and a trauma-informed approach to help you better understand your thoughts and experiences, build practical coping skills, and feel more grounded in your day-to-day life. I value authenticity and connection, and I’m here to support you every step of the way.

Patricia Jackson Wolfe

Therapist

Virtual • Mississippi


I am a licensed therapist with a Doctorate in Professional Counseling from Mississippi College and nearly 15 years of experience supporting individuals, families, children, and adolescents in both individual and group therapy settings. Over the course of my career, I have had the privilege of sitting with people through some of their most difficult and transformative moments, and I bring empathy, patience, and genuine care to every session.

My clinical experience includes working with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and behavioral health concerns across a wide variety of ages, backgrounds, and life circumstances. Two populations are especially close to my heart: children and adolescents experiencing behavioral or emotional challenges, and women healing from trauma. I understand how overwhelming these experiences can feel, and I am deeply committed to helping clients reclaim their strength, find hope, and move toward healing. I believe healing is possible for everyone, and I consider it an honor to be trusted as part of that journey.
