About

Patrick Cleveland, M.F.T.I.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Registered Intern #66593 specializing in individual, couples and family therapy, and maintain a private practice in Torrance, CA supervised by Jessica Plancich M.F.T. #39667. I am also a member of Innerfinity, a holistic psychotherapy, counseling, and wellness group.
Taking the first step to get help is often the hardest part and I understand that. I will work in collaboration with you to create a therapeutic relationship and provide a safe environment for you to share your story and begin to answer difficult questions in a confidential exchange. Sometimes circumstances befall us in our journey through life that can leave us feeling lost and confused with various questions. Is something holding you back in life? Is something getting you down that you feel you can’t share with anyone? Do you question why you made certain choices in life? Are you struggling in your relationships? Are you at a crossroads in life? Do you crave a better knowledge of Self? In begining this search and inquiry for yourself, today you are one step closer to expressing yourself and answering questions so that you can feel a stronger sense of Self-empowerment on a positive path to growth and well-being.

As a depth psychotherapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating and affirming everyday. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand how they effect you in the present in order to resolve challenges in your life. By applying a variety of therapy approaches and techniques that suit you, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. In the psychotherapy and counseling services I provide, I currently work with adults, college students, teens, adolescents, couples, and families in Torrance, CA.
I am also a trained philosopher and am open to discussing any of life's difficult questions and existential themes that may be running through your mind.
If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

What is Depth Psychotherapy?

Depth psychology acknowledges the dynamics between our conscious and our unconscious mind. It seeks to find ways to understand and connect our varied behaviors, particular thought processes, and relationship patterns with unresolved or unprocessed emotional experiences in our lives.

Certain behaviors we call “symptoms” are often ways we try to keep a sense of self alive and whole, attempting to maintain a balance. Throughout the course of therapy, as clients explore their emotions, thoughts, patterns and behaviors, previously exiled feelings and parts of self can emerge to be acknowledged and explored with the therapist who acts as a safe and containing presence. I view a primary goal of depth psychotherapy is to understand the underlying dynamics that keep you stuck in destructive patterns and limit your choices of behaviors and expressions. As awareness grows, you are free to choose healthier behaviors and align with more authentic ways of being; you become more trusting, autonomous, and confident, with a greater capacity for intimacy and an increased ability to accept and adapt to change.
