About Me

My Degrees are a MASTERS of SCIENCE in COUNSELING PSYCHOLOGY and a BACHELORS of SCIENCE in EDUCATION. I was a teacher before becoming a therapist.
My therapeutic style is to meet you right where you are and tailor our sessions to your needs. I never have an agenda in therapy; it is a journey we take together. I will listen with compassion, understand without judgment, and offer practical advice as well as effective tools to help you cope and heal. My clinical orientation is Eclectic., a combination of Humanistic, Experiential, Family Systems and Jungian (I do work with dreams). I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy when I feel these approaches would be helpful. I also teach Effective Communication Skills and Mindfulness Meditation for Stress and Anxiety..
I can help with DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, BI-POLAR DISORDER, PTSD, SELF-ESTEEM, CO-DEPENDENCY, STRESS and many other Mental Health Issues. I am experienced in counseling GAY, LESBIAN, BI-SEXUAL and TRANSGENDERED CLIENTS. I am also a GRIEF COUNSELOR and can support you in your time of loss. As an EXPERIENCED COUPLES and FAMILY THERAPIST, I can help with RELATIONSHIP ISSUES, MARITAL and FAMILY PROBLEMS and PARENTING DIFFICULTIES. You can trust that I bring a WEALTH of PROFESSIONAL KNOWLEDGE and EXPERIENCE to my work with you.
I am a VOLUNTEER with the AMERICAN RED CROSS as both a FACILITATOR of RECONNECTION WORKSHOPS for MILITARY FAMILIES and a CASEWORKER in DISASTER SERVICES and SERVICE to MILITARY FAMILIES. I am also a PUBLISHED AUTHOR.

I would recommend
I really happy that Mrs.Corlew is my therapist.
Thanks Patricia. You are as usual, invaluable.
She's amazing and I'm so comfortable talking to her!
It’s been great working with Patricia. She listens, understands my problems, and gives helpful suggestions and insight. I always feel better after speaking with her!
Patricia is thoughtful in her questions and responses. She is compassionate, kind, intelligent, and exactly what I have been looking for in a therapist. Each session with her feels like a small victory. I am so thankful for Patricia.
I was on the verge of cancelling my subscription with this app. I didn’t have much luck at all with the previous councillors. Patricia has made the world of a difference and I have renewed to continue getting help with her. She offers support and listens intently to what I have to say and the problems I have. Thank you Patricia!
Patricia listens and responds and helps guide conversation and promote deeper thought with questions. I really appreciate her help
Patricia is really helpful. She empathises with my problems and always makes me feel valued. She encourages me at a difficult time in my life.
Patricia Corlew is very knowledgeable and is genuinely interested in helping me and my family. I would highly recommend Patricia to anyone seeking advise / help coping with their problems.
Excellent counselor! Highly recommend!
Patricia is awesome! Definitely recommend her.:)
Patricia is amazing because she doesn’t pry and let’s you go at your own pace. She builds the kind of trust that a kindergarten teacher would build with you. It very warm and is great for someone whose not used to councillors.
She is always attentive and understanding when I get side tracked, gently bringing me back to the topic. She also shows genuine intrest in me and my life.
She is the best! I can comfortably share my thoughts and concerns with her and she guides me through the rough times.
Patricia is excellent. She is kind and pays attention to details. She has been very helpful to me in the short amount of time that I have been communicating with her. She has even checked in with me a few times after not hearing from me for a couple of days. That helps me when I get sidetracked to slow down and check in so I can keep up my progress. I am very pleased with our sessions.
I love working with Patricia! She’s an active listener who makes me feel heard and validated. She also helps by being a source of calm and acceptance who helps me by identifying the sources of my stress and anxiety and brainstorming ways to address them. Looking forward to continuing to work with her!
Patricia is an excellent therapist, who has helped me greatly in seeing the crux of my problems and has supported me towards making better choices for myself. I definitely recommend Patricia.
Patricia understands my stuff even better than I do myself. She's always encouraging and has good recommendations. She has a good sense of humor and we both love our furbabies.
Patricia has been very crucial in helping me change my life. While I have not yet undergone a radical transformation, I can see the differences talking with her has made in my life.
Patricia was my introduction into counseling and I must say that she changed my life. She enabled me to think and even speak what I thought without feeling judged, there is nothing more I could've wished for!
Patricia is the most valuable therapist I’ve had.
She is amazing she has helped me even the short time I’ve been with her. She truly understands.
I have a degree in children’s therapy, and I see her. She is amazing.
Patricia is utterly fantastic. She is always very understanding and supportive, and provides many useful thoughts and tips on how to deal with the way I am feeling. Since talking to Patricia I am finding my stress which causes me low moods much more easy to recognise and manage.
I'm so thrilled to be back in contact with Patricia. Its been a year now and so looking forward to the growth along this journey to better health and wellbeing.
Patricia is so sweet and she listens, cares and help a lot! It’s amazing how much she has done to me just in the first sessions. I highly recommend this professional!
Patricia is the best therapist I could ask for.
Not only does she respond in a predictable, dependable manner; she makes it a point to address every single point that I write about in my long messages to her (I write a LOT, and I respect the fact that she doesn't miss out a thing).
She also is very courteous, in that if she is unable to respond as she normally does, she makes sure that I'm aware by informing me. She doesn't leave me hanging.
Also, during the weeks when I don't check in with her, or whenever I go quiet for an extended period, she actively checks up on me.
Patricia is a key part of my support system as I proceed with my healing.
Patricia is a very good listener. She respects me and allows me the space to talk and express myself without judgement.
Meeting Patricia was the best thing. I am only beginning my therapy but already feel that I have a strong support from her. I really want to recommend her for the great person she is.
She is so understanding and caring, just what I need.
Patricia shows concern and is always checking up on me.
Patricia is amazing. She listens and offers great insight. She has made all the difference for me.

Patricia was wise to see through the distractions I was creating and got me back to my core issues very quickly. I'm much happier now to have dealt with them. Thanks Patricia
Patricia has been very supportive and helpful during such a difficult time in my life. She listens, understands and never make me feel negative about anything I share. She is a safe place to share openly and honestly about what I am facing and how I really feel! I highly recommend Patricia.
Excellent!
Patricia is awesome! I feel like she has helped me make progress at my own pace, neither too pushy or lenient. She is always very insightful and timely with responses. She helped me to realize that I need to make my own decisions and goals, but she helps me clarify my thoughts.
Patricia genuinely cares and is sincere. I also like that she will give me honest and helpful answers. She is a wonderful counselor.
She is great- very responsive!
Patricia is very patient and her experience clear. She is very effective at working with the short format of Better Helps messaging system and supportive.

She is the best!
Patricia immediately had a great understanding of my situation, provided excellent resources and amazing counseling. I highly recommend her to anyone. This may be online but I felt a real connection to her. That's how comfortable she made me feel. Personally, this website is better than sitting with someone face to face watching a clock.
Patricia is amazing. She seems to really care. I enjoy working with her. She makes me feel comfortable and safe to better myself.
Patricia is wonderful, and asks the right questions to get to the root of your problems! She's also very supportive :)
Patricia is thoughtful and kind. She's insightful and thought provoking in her responses. I feel she has been a great match for me through this process.
Patricia has provided an open ear to my issues and has helped with constructive advice on how to overcome some of my challenges in my marriage. This is the first time I've sought out professional advice and I'm glad I took this leap and I know that Patricia will support me going forward.
Patricia is excellent in providing thought provoking ideas and a different perspective to situations.
I think Patricia is great! I think she gives great insight and makes you think about things from a different perspective. I love her advice and she's extremely understanding.
I have only been working with Patricia for a few weeks, but I know that she has already helped me tremendously. I appreciate her attention to detail, her quick responses, and her ability to express exactly what I'm feeling by the words I write. She is able to connect my past with my present, and she helps to resolve issues that I have currently by being compassionate and understanding.
I absolutely love working with Patricia Corlew even though I haven't been with her very long she has been extremely patient and understands my needs I'm so glad I found this sight and they put me with her perfect match
Patricia is genuine and answers quickly. She seems to always know when I need gentle advice, or when I need to hear the cold hard truth. I always feel like she's there for me. I'm so glad I was matched to her. I wouldn't want anyone else. Her patience, kindness, and compassion always amaze me. Patricia has made a bigger difference in my life then she knows.
I had canceled my subscription when I got a message from Patricia. I figured that I had almost a full month left so it couldn't hurt to talk with her. She was so validating and offered really helpful easy solutions that I renewed my subscription. Just knowing that I can message her anytime I am struggling and that her response will have something simple that I can do that actually helps is very comforting.
Mrs. Corlew has helped me recognize things I never dreamed about being an issue before. She listens and gives amazing feedback!
Patricia is very patient and understanding. I like how her approach is simple, yet addresses the issues at hand effectively. She asks appropriate questions, offers helpful feedback and leaves you thinking about your situation differently at the end of the day.
I absolutely love Patricia. She is a breath of fresh air. She doesn't judge, she puts your right at ease from the get-go and is very professional. She is extremely prompt with her responses and her philosophy is not pushy. It's such a pleasure working with her. She really has helped me sort through some tough situations and feelings that go along with them. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!
Patricia listens to my stories, issues, etc without judging me which is refreshing, still trying to understand how this all will work for me.
She is great.
Patricia has helped me a lot. She is very patient, and just as important, responsive to my concerns. She has helped and is still helping me work through some issues in such a way that I have felt a significant improvement in my quality of life. I appreciate her thoughtfulness and the suggestions she has made. I would recommend her as a counselor without hesitation.
I have only been working with Patricia for a few weeks and she has been very caring and insightful. She seems to really read and understand what I'm saying. She has asked very relevant questions that have made me think and helped me so far. Her comments have also helped me to see some things about myself as well.
