"I've worked with Patrick at Lighthouse Counseling for several years. He's been extremely helpful and thorough with helping me work through life's challenges. With a combination of deft solutions and a seemingly-endless supply of subject-relevant resources, I consider him a "human toolbox" for anyone needing specific help. Rather than constantly-reliving past pains, he is more interested in helping me build my own toolbox to effectively process grief, heal, grow, and move forward. His practice is appropriately-named: A true lighthouse to guide your ship through the rocky shores. You could do much worse than Patrick, but I can't imagine you could do much better."

Duane

"Patrick helped me through a difficult time in my life that included learning about my new ADHD diagnosis, family medical issues, and building a business all while raising a 2 year old. He is a strategies based therapist that has a great background in CBT which will help you change your thinking patterns to have a better experience with life. I appreciate all he did for me and my family!"
