Robey Patrick

My communication style

First and foremost, I am empathetic and compassionate. I am also direct and, at times, fairly blunt. I use precise language and strive for clarity. That said, people would characterize me as respectful, kind, unassuming, caring, and friendly. I believe being honest and transparent are important tools for building trust.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always worked to reduce human suffering & in my 40s I changed gears to focus on individuals instead of change on larger scales. I am empathetic, compassionate, & good at holding space for others, skills that inspired me to become a therapist. I specialized in Brainspotting because it is the cutting-edge modality for trauma treatment.

My goals for you

You know what is best for you, and you are the expert on yourself - I am here to present you with tools and to explain what they are, what they do, and how to use them. You set the goals and the objectives, and you direct the sessions. I provide the framework and structure for how to engage in this specified practice of therapy.

Our first session

I do my best to ensure space to hear your story. Professional obligations & ethical standards require diagnosing & ensuring informed consent, often making first sessions underwhelming. I don't take shortcuts, which is tedious, and you deserve best practices for the profession. My goal is that you feel respected, heard, & optimistic about healing.
