Patricia Barlow-Bray, LLMSW (She/They)

I am a queer, neurodivergent therapist who sprinkles whimsy and fun into healing. I strive for a human connection, making my space informal and relaxed to support a healing environment. If “talk therapy” feels intimidating, no worries! I am creative and often incorporate art, music, and play with all my clients, even adults to help you feel at ease. I see my space as your space, meaning full access to all fidgets, toys, and art supplies as we focus on healing.

I specialize in working with survivors of sexual and domestic assault, processing trauma, exploring gender and self identity, learning healthy relationships, navigating neurodivergence, building self-worth, and practicing realistic mindfulness. I provide an affirming space designed for you to exist as you are and take up space without guilt - and if you struggle with that we can work up to it!  I offer a collaborative and curious approach in sessions, centering your strengths and resilience to help guide the therapy process. All emotions are welcome in my space. Need to cry? I’ve got the tissues. Feeling like laughing? I’ll laugh with you! Need to just sit quietly with all the feels? Silence creates space for healing. Processing and healing looks different for everyone, I’m here to support and help you discover what that looks like for you.

When I am not in the office I am typically with my husband, dog, and cat, boxing, or collecting hobbies. I love finding new music, crafts, and recipes to cook. My favorite place to relax is somewhere in nature. Learning new things greatly interests me, and yes I do have an endless amount of irrelevant facts! 

I offer in-person and online/telehealth sessions with daytime and evening appointment options.
