Case Studies
Here are some case studies where Dr. Pat's style of counseling has lead to relief from life's pressures. The names have been changed to protect the patient.
Case Study: Karen
Her Story
Karen had owned, operated and managed her own graphic design and advertising business for twenty years. She had been doing well with the assistance of a very small staff. Now a lot of change was in the air and she came in for career-centered life coaching/counseling.
At that time she had taken new office space in the same building which was not as convenient for her or clients as before but was also less expensive.
She was having to take care of things on a more regular basis for her aging mother who was a thousand miles away. She also wanted to spend more time with her. Karen and her husband were also beginning to plan for retirement, though that would not be in the immediate future.
The immediate dilemma presented itself when her “right hand” gal was offered a new position in a family business which would use her talents and pay handsomely. Karen had hired her years before and she was a self-starter with a myriad of knowledge and experience in Karen’s business. She often was the “hands on” person on the computer, fine tuning the designs and suggesting changes or options to Karen or the client.

Case Study: Mark
His Story
Mark had a plethora of issues in his life when he first sought counseling. He lived with his significant other and their daughter. He wanted to get married, but she was ambivalent and very immersed in the Roman Catholic Church and he had been married before. Further, she had a rather severe depression and their child- raising and relationship beliefs were quite different. There were also job-related problems. He was somewhat anxious about all of this and mildly depressed as well.
At that time she had taken new office space in the same building which was not as convenient for her or clients as before but was also less expensive.

Case Study: Sonia
Her Story
Sonia seemed extremely anxious on arrival. Even her lovely smile played hide and seek as she came in for our first session.
Childhood was not joyous and carefree for her. She tried to extricate herself from her circumstances, finding herself pregnant and depressed, she decided to drop out of school. Several years later she dated and married. Life was great at first, but immediately after marriage things turned sour.
