Patrick is amazing. He focuses on the whole person and approached our family with heart centered therapy that created a foundation of strength and courage for us all. His therapy is empowering and we felt rejuvenated, strong, and more aware after seeing him. He has a fantastic way of getting to the root of the problem and challenges you to rise above with love and support all the way. Highly recommend.

Patrick is a very open-minded, non-judgmental therapist who practices excellent containment. He was able to assist me while pulling from different traditions/approaches as were fitting for the situation. Patrick was able to seamlessly blend and adjust (even including schools of existential thought, when applicable) to follow my train of thought and encourage me down the path I needed to go. During our sessions, he helped me get to a point in which I was able to make important decisions/life transitions I had once thought daunting. He also helped me to express emotions and feel entitled to my narrative

Patrick Cleveland is the very best therapist I could have asked for. I had no idea I could connect with someone so well and that it would benefit my life in such a comprehensive way. I have seen Patrick for multiple issue ranging from adjustment issues, relationship issues, to grief counseling. I had seen other therapists before, but not connected in a way that allowed me to truly benefit.
His style is non-intrusive and allows you to dig deeper into what your triggers and mindset might really be in and he encourages the development of self-awareness that will create an opportunity for catharsis

Some time ago I was overwhelmed with the events occurring in my life. I was advised to see a psychologist. I was very hesitant at first because of all the stereotypes associated with attending therapy, but after some sessions with Patrick I found the stereotypes to be wrong. Patrick creates an amazing space where anyone can feel safe, and free to express themselves without judgment. I am amazed by how patient Patrick is. He never was pushy and always open to whatever you needed to say. He genuinely cares for his clients. I highly recommend everyone to give therapy a chance. You will find out more

I value my sessions with Patrick as they have helped me come upon several self-realizations. I found that voicing my thoughts out loud in an open, safe environment, free of “should”s or “have to”s has brought me to recognize my own fear of opening up to others and allowing people in. I’ve begun to learn about the power of vulnerability and have learned to embrace it, as being vulnerable does not make me frail; it makes me human. I have also been able to get past blockages that have held me back from expressing my true self. Having the opportunity to share deep thoughts, feelings and emotions

I'd seen two therapists before Patrick: one thought it was OK to answer her phone throughout our session and the other although she did listen to me, I just didn't connect with her and I left feeling the same as when I went in. I was initially apprehensive about seeing a male therapist as I worried that I'd be embarrassed to open up to him or that he wouldn't understand me. I was wrong. From the first meeting he just told me to say what was on my mind, I did and it was great and I left feeling like I'd actually done something that was helping me move in the right direction.

In 2012 I went through a nasty breakup and fell into a horrible depression. I literally felt as if I was losing my mind. I was sad, depressed and anxious all the time. My inner dialogue was so bad that I felt worthless and damaged. Because I was so depressed and anxious all the time my relationship with my son (who was 10 years old at the time) was suffering badly. My son who has an ADHD diagnosis was also having terrible problems at school with bullying (being bullied and sometimes being the bully) and his self-esteem was very low. I am a recovering drug addict. I have been clean 10 years, but

So much to be said about Patrick Cleveland! I started seeing him in September 2013, after a death in the family and when I was feeling particularly depressed and down. He is the 6th therapist I have seen, and the only one I stuck with and feel like has made a difference in my life. Patrick's approach is sincere, understanding, and always goes at a pace you are comfortable with. When I first met Patrick I was convinced I would be on medication (that left me drowsy and confused) for the rest of my life. With the coping skills I learned through therapy, I was able to quit taking medication (because

I began therapy believing it would be a short, in-and-out sort of deal. Although I was completely wrong, I am happy about it, because the time I have spent with Patrick has been time well spent. I leave each session knowing a bit more about myself and realizing that I am moving closer to reaching inner peace. Patrick has guided me through several circumstances, from allowing me to find my passions and choose a college major, to taking the steps in order to heal deeper wounds. I appreciate most his patience and extremely since attitude, which has allowed me to heal and discover at my own pace without

Patrick is a great listener and helped me see things that were blind to me at the time I was going through bad patch in life with various transitions and hardships. He helped me understand how my past was influencing the decisions I was making and also challenged me to learn how to take action in my life so that I wouldn't make the same choices all over again. He also got me to think differently about mental health and made me feel like like I was there to grow rather than fix problems and that I could go back again in the future if something else in life comes my way that I need to work through
