Marriage & Family Therapist

Patricia O'Laughlin Silver Lake Psychotherapy & Counseling

Most of us would agree that, while we have moments that make us happy, there are times where we can feel stressed, less present, and at times, unbalanced. I support people through the different stages of life and help them integrate mindfulness, understanding, and support into their relationship with themselves and the people they love. I recognize my clients’ strengths and empower them to identify what they need and the steps they can take to make positive changes.
