Patricia (Tricia) Schulte

I will support your healing through a collaborative process of uncovering and understanding how past experiences have shaped your current feelings, behaviors and relationships, and share practical tools to help you feel better now. I will use empathy, humor and humility to connect with you through non-judgment and acceptance. I am trained in Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, and Brainspotting. I also have training in transgender mental health, and happily write letters of support for gender-affirming medical care. I work to increase my own awareness of and resistance to the systems that perpetuate structural inequities. As a white, cis-gender woman, I am committed to cultural humility and an ongoing examination of my own privilege. I hope that by working with clients of many backgrounds and identities I can contribute to multiple forms of healing both individually and in communities. My past life experiences include working with first generation, international, LGTBQ+ and BIPOC students in campus mental health, studying the history of immigration to the U.S, teaching English in China and the U.S., and increasing access to reproductive healthcare, HIV/AIDS prevention and case management.
