About me
Welcome to my practice! Iām Patrick Sweeney, a licensed psychotherapist committed to supporting individuals on their journey toward healing and self-discovery. With a Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) and a Master of Social Work (MSW), I have a strong foundation in understanding the complexities of human behavior and relationships.
My father, a social worker, and my mother, a special education teacher, were my earliest inspirations for pursuing this career. Their dedication to helping others, combined with the profound impact my own therapist has had on my life, shaped my passion for supporting individuals in their path toward healing and growth.
In addition to my academic background, I completed a four-year clinical fellowship postgraduate program at Gestalt Associates for Psychotherapy in New York City. This immersive training refined my expertise in the art and science of psychotherapy. As a Gestalt psychotherapist, my focus centers on awareness, self-empowerment, the here and now, and the therapeutic relationship. I strive to create a collaborative environment where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts and emotions, fostering insights that promote growth and transformation.
My approach is tailored to meet each individual's unique needs, drawing from diverse therapeutic modalities to empower clients as they navigate challenges, enhance self-awareness, align with present needs, and cultivate healthier relationships.
Thank you for considering me as part of your journey.
