Bluett Counseling — Counselor in Portland, OR

From the start, Patrick was thoughtful, grounded, and incredibly present. He approached our conversation with warmth, curiosity, and a level of care that made it easy to feel heard and respected. What stood out most to me was his ability to hold space in a way that felt both professional and genuinely human. He spoke about his work with nuance and clear commitment to reducing shame and creating safety, especially when it came around to topics that many people find difficult to talk about. His emphasis on inclusivity, ethics, and meeting people where they are was evident. Even in a brief interaction, it was clear that he leads with integrity and intention. He was generous with his insight and honest about the realities of the work. I walked away feeling more grounded and thoughtful about the field, which speaks volumes about his presence and character. I would highly recommend Patrick to anyone seeking a clinician who is compassionate, affirming, and deeply respectful of the people he works with.

Our relationship is now more solid than ever before, and Patrick is the reason for that. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
