Chad Patterson

Getting started is the hard bit. Many of my clients tell me that on the day they reached out, they were overwhelmed and tired and maybe not a little skeptical that therapy would actually do anything to help.

I get it. Been there. That’s why I use processes and tools that have decades of research showing that they work and how they work. Of course, nothing in life is a guarantee, but we’re not just wingin’ it.

Our conversations will feel safe if not often comfortable. And you’ll be able to trace changes in your experience against the goals we agree to in our first two sessions.

This is more than a friendly chat or an effort “to talk it out.” This is a process to see real and durable change.
