Patrick Perry, LPCC

Patrick Perry is an LPCC (Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor) with 21 years of clinical experience based in Minnesota. He lists stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, and coping with life changes among the issues he works with, and also notes a focus on social anxiety and phobia. He communicates plainly and directly about problems clients bring to sessions.

He spent much of his career in chemical dependence treatment settings and continues to address substance use in private practice. Patrick also worked at the Pride Institute for eight years and has focused on care for LGBTQIA people in his practice. He identifies as a Transman and has written gender-related letters for clients for over a decade.

Patrick uses clinical hypnotherapy as part of his approach. He has practiced Clinical Hypnotherapy since 2005 and often uses metaphor and guided visualization to help people process trauma and make behavioral changes more accessible. He describes hypnotherapy as a way to reduce the hold of traumatic memories so clients can address other life concerns.

More recently he trained as a Reiki Master Healer and Teacher and offers Reiki alongside therapeutic work for relaxation and as an adjunct for pain management. He has worked with adolescents and adults across his career, though current session formats should be confirmed before booking.

He blends direct talk therapy, hypnotherapy, and energy work when appropriate. Sessions tend to focus on practical steps people can take to manage anxiety, process past events, and handle life transitions while adapting techniques to what each person finds helpful.
