About Patrick Haley
"All of us, at some time or other, need help. Whether we're giving or receiving help, each one of us has something valuable to bring to this world."
― Fred Rogers
Patrick believes in a client-led approach to therapy, where the focus is on creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their experiences and express themselves freely. His work is rooted in humanistic principles, emphasizing the importance of empathy, active listening, and respect for the client’s autonomy. By fostering a comfortable environment, Patrick aims to help clients uncover insights and find their own paths toward healing and growth. Drawing on a wide range of therapeutic modalities, including Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT),Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness-Based, Strengths-Based, and Solutions-Focused, Patrick tailors his approach to each individual’s unique needs and goals. Patrick works to ensure that therapy is as effective and personalized as possible, empowering clients to build resilience and create lasting, positive change.
Aside from counseling, Patrick enjoys going on runs, cooking, playing the bass guitar, watching comedies, and playing tabletop games with his wife, friends, and family. He can also be found out walking his dog, Kuzco.
