Robey Patrick

My communication style

First and foremost, I am empathetic and compassionate. People would characterize me as respectful, kind, unassuming, caring, and friendly. I believe being honest and transparent are important tools for building trust. I believe everyone is on their own journey and that people know themselves best, so I use active listening more than talking myself.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always worked to reduce human suffering & in my 40s, I left the classroom to focus on individuals. I am empathetic, compassionate, & good at holding space for others, skills that inspired me to become a therapist. I have faced my own challenges in life, equipping me to relate & connect to others with complicated life histories.

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 hold the space for you to do the work to reduce symptoms and solidify gains.

Our first session

I do my best to ensure space to hear your story. Professional obligations & ethical standards require diagnosing & ensuring informed consent, & you deserve best practices for the profession. I want to hear & learn about you, what brings you to therapy, & how I can support you. My goal is that you feel respected, heard, & optimistic about healing.
