I’m Patrick (he/him). Nice to meet you!
My Credentials
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the State of Oregon and I hold an MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am also a Certified Sex Therapist with The American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT).
My Identity
I am an Asian American cis male and a member of the LGBTQIA2S+ community.
My Approach
My theoretical foundation is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT).
I draw heavily from attachment theory, mindfulness practices and parts work from approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS). I would describe my style as insight-oriented and I tend to lean towards a more directive approach over a passive one.
Clients often describe me as having a warm, engaged and calming presence.
On A Personal Note…..
When I’m not in the office, you’ll find me training for the next half-marathon, going to local shows or backpacking with friends.
