My background includes helping clients in all of life's stages with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, & depression.
I treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
My special skill is to know when people need a gentle reminder and when they need to be held firmly accountable. I meet people's needs. Let's start where you are and get you where you want to go.
I believe you are the expert in your own life. Allow me to be the objective observer to guide and assist you in this stage of your journey by sharing skills of relation strategies, mindfulness, self-awareness and creative expression.

I'm so happy I found Patricia O'Neal. My longtime therapist had retired & I tried other therapists that I just didn't feel comfortable with until I found Patricia. She's helped me through the most difficult time I've faced in my life. She helps me understand my experience's in life & helps me to process them & move forward, so I can live a healthier life with boundaries & less shame

As I continue my journey of self-kindness and self-love, I am evolving in ways I never knew possible. Along side me is Patty who is always helping me to understand how I can appreciate myself, acknowledge my growth and encourage me as a face the hard stuff. She continues to be a blessing to my process and my path.

Love her work

Patty has a remarkable gift for creating a space where defenses naturally fall away. She fosters an environment where every emotion—from deep-seated anger to quiet regret—is welcomed without judgment. Throughout a "tornado" of life events, including the loss of a parent, a child’s illness, and a difficult divorce, Patty has been my grounding force. Whether we are sharing laughter through the pain or sitting together through "tears on top of tears," she has walked with me every step of the way. I cannot recommend her highly enough for anyone navigating funnel clouds.

I don’t know what more I can say. I’m glad I found out at our second meeting that she has been trained in TB-CBT. I feel that she is understanding and that she has tools that can help me.

Patricia is the first therapist who actually gets what I’m talking about, provides a lot of comfort and support through the grief process and gives really great tips and activities I can do daily to help move myself forward. I really enjoy and look forward to chatting with her every week. Can’t recommend highly enough.

Patricia combines a wealth of real world experience and therapy based approaches when offering counseling services. The more information you can provide her, the more she can set a framework for success. With my treatments. She has adapted to my communication skills, to provide active listening and provide critical feedback as requested, and to look for the grey areas that are out of my vision.

Very professional and supportive. This is 1st time for me to have therapy and she has made it very comfortable. I have only gotten started but it has already made a difference in my daily outlook. She has opened my mind to other ways to make my issues not easier...because there is no easy way to do anything that has happened in my life...but ways to make them more bearable.
