Pat Sumption, LCSW

My clients describe me as:

Warm, responsive and relaxed. I'm not afraid to go to scary places with you - you are not alone.

Something to know about my approach is:

I use a family or origin lens but always with attention and tools for what's going on NOW. I think you can dig deep and find some issues that are hard....but I always work on giving you coping tools so you can manage the emotions that come up.

Together, we will:

We will look at what is bothering you. We'll look at what is getting in your way. We'll identify what it is, where it came from, how to manage it and how to pull it out at the roots so it won't bother you any more.

I specialize in working with people who:

Who want to get to a solution or at least improvement of what you are working on. I work best with open, honest people who will dig in to the work.

I became a therapist because:

I realized I was good at helping other people. Other people helped me and it changed my life. I wanted to pass on the goodwill.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I am in the process of taking various insurances - please contact me to learn more. I meet with clients in person, virtually or by phone.

More about me and my practice:

I went back to school late in life - began college at 30 and got my masters at 40. I worked in retail management and real estate prior to and during that time. It affords me a unique perspective on life that is very useful in working with clients.
