About Patrick Rappold

Starting therapy can be an uncomfortable and difficult decision, which is why my first goal is to make you feel comfortable being completely yourself in our sessions. Therapy is only successful when you can be authentically yourself, so I seek to create an environment in which you are totally accepted as you are. I want therapy to be a space unlike any other in a client’s life, where they do not need to fear judgement or consequences for being who they are.

I believe that every person, their story, and their situation is unique, which is why I aim to fit my therapeutic style to you. This means that I may use a variety of techniques, depending on what we agree works best with you individually.

I work with both individuals and couples.

With individuals, we will collaborate on setting achievable goals and planning steps to work towards them. We will sit with your difficult emotions and work through them in a safe and empathetic environment. We will create a relationship of trust and care, where even your deepest wounds will be allowed to show. You will come to better understand yourself while achieving tangible progress on the challenges you face. Together, we will create a life that is a more satisfying and peaceful one to live.

With couples, we will discern the sources of stress or conflict present in the relationship, and we will seek to improve communication and understanding between the partners. I believe that in any relationship, regardless of whether partners have been together for 6 months or 20 years, communication is a constantly evolving skill that needs to be consistently reevaluated and practiced. I am here to help break couples out of the unhealthy patterns that they have found themselves in.

I look forward to the opportunity to meet with you!
