Online Counseling - Help is Only a Click Away

Hello, my name is Dr. Pat Brawley.
Welcome to my virtual office where you will receive respect, confidential therapy, and hope. As you read through this brief introduction about my practice I hope you sense my interest in you and your situation.
With over twenty years experience as a mental health therapist, I am still pleasantly amazed at the strength of the human spirit and the innate wisdom we have as human beings.
My professional interests mostly focus on the interaction between mind and body. Knowing about this relationship helps us to understand and treat real-life stress, disease, depression and anxiety, phobias and fears, obsessions, pain, nightmares, and addictions. My interest in research has been rewarding. I have presented the findings of my research in Japan , Russia , Finland , Italy , Canada and the United States . Some topics I’ve studied are these: the experience of infertility, the experience of dis-ease (sick but not diagnosed by medical means), the spirituality of identity formation, the effects of poetry, and psychogenic epilepsy.
I have a Master of Science degree in Counseling Psychology and a Ph.D. in Psychology. I am a licensed professional counselor in private practice. In addition to individual and group therapy, I consult with physicians, attorneys, professionals, and athletes.
I have experience in assessing and treating mood disorders (such as anxiety and depression), stress, trauma, anger problems, bereavement, sleep disorders, chronic pain, gender identity issues, relationship problems and divorce recovery, addictions and substance abuse, childhood issues, and war trauma. If I haven’t addressed your problem, please feel free to ask me about it.
Specific problems such as “overcoming writer’s block’ may be grouped under “anxiety” issues. It’s difficult to list all the varieties of situations that therapy helps. Depending on your problem and your needs, I will offer you a recommended treatment plan based on Best Practices in the field. I will value your collaboration. It’s your life and I am honored to share your experiences.
I have recently “remodeled” my private practice to include online, email, and telephone sessions. I hope you enjoy this new service!
