Patricia Trippe

Therapist

Virtual • New York


If you're looking for a therapist who is direct and will challenge you, I might be a good fit. I'm not a therapist to just sit, listen, and provide head nods. My approach is straight forward and transparent. I'm able to probe if needed and provide honest and direct feedback when necessary. While I'm here to listen, my priority is to help people improve their lives. I enjoy working with Trauma, Anxiety and OCD especially.

In these uncertain times, I can assure you that I operate from a feminist lens and am LGBTQIA 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️ affirming/culturally aware.

I can happily provide gender affirming care and ESA (emotional support animal) letters.

Therapy is a collaborative process, and a strong therapeutic relationship is key to meaningful progress and lasting change. My approach is grounded in a strengths-based, client-centered perspective that supports each person’s capacity for growth and self-understanding.
