Patrick McMunn Ph.D., LP

Whether you’re feeling disconnected in a marriage, struggling with communication, or repeating unhealthy patterns in dating, I work with individuals and couples to build stronger, healthier relationships. Together, we’ll explore the underlying dynamics that may be creating conflict or distance, and I’ll support you in developing the insight and skills needed to improve trust, intimacy, and emotional connection.

Unresolved trauma can deeply affect how we see ourselves, relate to others, and experience the world. I provide trauma-informed therapy in a safe, grounded environment where we move at your pace. Whether you’ve experienced a single event or long-term relational trauma, I use approaches that honor your story and help you reclaim a sense of safety, stability, and self-compassion.

Anxiety can show up in many forms—constant worry, physical tension, overthinking, panic, or a sense of dread you can’t quite shake. I help clients understand the roots of their anxiety and develop tools to manage it more effectively. My approach combines evidence-based strategies like CBT with mindfulness and self-awareness to help you regain control and feel more at ease in your daily life.

ACT is a powerful approach I use to help clients stop fighting their thoughts and emotions and start building lives aligned with their values. Rather than trying to eliminate pain or discomfort, ACT focuses on increasing psychological flexibility—helping you accept what’s out of your control while committing to actions that enrich your life. I integrate ACT when working with clients who feel stuck in avoidance or perfectionism, and I find it especially effective for those seeking deeper meaning,

CBT is a cornerstone of my work with clients because it provides clear, actionable strategies for managing distress and changing unhelpful thought patterns. I use CBT to help individuals better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and to develop healthier ways of responding to challenges. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or negative self-talk, CBT offers a structured, evidence-based path to building resilience, clarity, and confidence.

I specialize in helping couples navigate the complexities of communication, trust, intimacy, and conflict. Whether you're dealing with ongoing tension, recovering from betrayal, or simply looking to reconnect, I offer a structured yet flexible approach grounded in emotional insight and practical skill-building. My work with couples focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns, improving emotional attunement, and fostering mutual understanding and growth.
