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 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 and change. I spent much of my time just talking to Patrick in a way that might seem casual, but it was the best version of therapeutic release. He is intelligent, attentive, and kind. His background in philosophy coupled with his psychology education make him extremely well suited for anyone looking for not only the practical parts of thereapy but the existential (should you want to dive in).I would unreservedly recommend him to anyone searching for therapy. Particularly if you want a different style than what many current therapists offer. I will consider him my sole therapist for as long as I am local to his services.My life is better for knowing him; I will remember my time with him as a bright light during darker times.

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 of being hurt and neglected; even if others have it worse is objectively true, my feelings are still my feelings, and my pain is valid. Learning this actually helped me to NOT be stuck in a victim mentality, which is what I was trying (and failing) to accomplish by repressing or explaining away my feelings to begin with. Patrick also helped me to drastically limit contact with and set better boundaries with some people in my life. I feel I have achieved many milestones with his help, and my mental health is much better for this. He also allowed me to bring my husband to two of the sessions, even though we were not signed up for couples therapy without charging extra, and this really helped me to get some clarity and start conversations I needed help to have. Patrick is very practical and willing to help you take the next logical steps to continue on your journey. I really appreciate the loving kindness Patrick showed toward me and the extra steps he took sending me articles for further reading. He is a great therapist!

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 about yourself than you could imagine. Patrick helped me overcome so many of my fears. With his help I am much more open-minded, and aware of my emotions. He helped me see I can work through whatever life throws at me and survive. I feel now I can actually enjoy my life thanks to Patrick.

Id 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 didnt 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 Id be embarrassed to open up to him or that he wouldnt 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 Id actually done something that was helping me move in the right direction.Hes friendly, kind, welcoming, a great listener, I dont know how he does it but he remembers pretty much everything, hes funny and you feel like he genuinely cares about what you have to say while helping you realize the reasons why you feel and act the way you do. Along with other important changes Ive made in my life, he has truly been a great help in guiding me to be more assertive and quiet my own inner critic enough to find peace of mind. There is still work to be done and I know that Patrick will be able to continue to help me. It goes without saying that I strongly recommend Patrick.

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 wouldnt 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 and learn from. I greatly value the time I spent in therapy with him, and highly recommend him.

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 in my sessions has allowed me to go out and share with my family and friends. My sessions provide me a time to acknowledge my feelings so then I am able to release ones that no longer serve me and increase the ones that do. I’ve grown to be more accepting, and compassionate to my own feelings and then in return to others. My sessions have not only helped me grow but for my teenage son as well. I’ve noticed so much growth in my son as well after his individual sessions and pleasantly surprised his willingness to attend. My son’s therapy sessions with Patrick have helped us open up to each other and connect from the heart space to a more loving, and understanding mother son relationship. I walk out after my sessions with clarity, more insight on who I am as an individual.I’ve learned that my fear of walking into his vibrant office is not greater than what I have gained, as every time that I walk away feeling lighter, more open, and in my heart.

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 feeling rushed or overwhelmed with new thoughts and feelings. I truly believe that what I have learned in therapy will stay with me for a lifetime, as Ive learned skills and have begun to embrace my inner and outer changes instead of fearing away from them. Patrick has truly been an extremely positive addition to my life, and without his help and guidance, I would not have been able to break out of my shell and begin my journey to happiness and becoming my true self.

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. Patricks 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 it personally was not needed for me), and am now able to manage my moods, anxiety, and depression in a variety of ways.Patrick has helped me to see how my inner monologue of myself dictates how I feel about myself, and how I react to situations. He uses instances from his own time in therapy as examples to show that he does understand how you are feeling, and his empathy certainly helps with believing that you can get better.Therapy has helped me maintain a 4.0 in college, a healthy relationship, and improved thoughts I have about my own self-worth. I do not know where I would be if I did not contact him back in 2013.If you have never tried therapy, or have had a bad experience with a past therapist, then I would recommend you contact Patrick Cleveland.

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 at that time, I felt that I needed to reach out for professional help before I went into relapse mode.At first, I was seeing a therapist that never said a word to me during our sessions. She was a great listener, but she never really gave me any insight into anything I said to her. I always left those sessions feeling upset and confused. I felt I had gained no greater understanding of myself than I did when I first walked into her office. I also felt that this therapist couldn’t really connect with my son. That is when I began looking for a new therapist and I found Patrick on Psychology Today.After seeing Patrick for the first time it was a totally different experience. He listened intently, but he wasn’t just listening, he was actually “hearing” what I was saying. He has such a subtle yet, very effective way, of helping me look at the things I was thinking and saying in a way I had never done before. During some of our sessions, I have felt the light bulb go off in my head; I’ve had revelations about myself and the things that have happened in my life. I finally found someone to understand me, but also help me to understand me, and accept me, in a gentle, non-judgmental or threatening way. After several meetings with Patrick my harsh, inner critic, was almost made silent and even though it rears its head every so often, I have learned to be kind to myself, to accept myself, flaws and all. Patrick has an amazing memory. He seems to remember lots of the little details from the things I’ve shared with him in previous sessions, which makes me feel important during our time together.Patrick is wonderful with my son who is now 12. Patrick is a safe place for my son to unload all the things that are bothering him. Now that my son is a pre-teen I feel that it is more important than ever to have someone he can bounce his feelings off of and get positive, supportive feedback. Whenever my son, is having an emotional time at school or with friends, he looks forward to the visits he has with Patrick and afterwards I notice that my son is willing to be more open with me about what is going on in his life without me having to pry.I still have a long way to go in my journey of self-discovery but I can say that I now feel hopeful about my future. My outlook on life, myself and my relationships have improved so much that I am in awe of the mental and spiritual growth I have achieved in such little time.If you are thinking about reaching out to a therapist, I would highly recommend that you contact Patrick Cleveland. You won’t regret it.

No one answers the phone.
