Patricia Mackie, LPC Intern
Welcome to Everyday Counseling, I am so glad you are here! Helping couples and individuals make their daily life joy filled is my passion.
As a mother of 5, I know how fast disconnection happens. Let me help you re-connect with your life, your spouse, and your family. I believe therapy should be a short term tool to help you regain joy one step at a time!
In 2006 I earned a Masters' degree in Clinical Psychology with a specialty in Marriage and Family Therapy from Benedictine University. I am a Registered Intern (R4712) in the state of Oregon and I am supervised by Paul Myers, PhD. Clients appreciate my Rogerian and Attachment Theory perspective, which means I put relationship first. To help build a safe base for clients I use Emotion-Focused Therapy, Gottman Marital Strategies, Brief Strategic Counseling, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. I am a tool clients can use in identifying their goals and finding their way back to joy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you Accept Insurance?Short Answer: No
Long Answer: No, couples seek out marital counseling because their relationship is hurting. This means your relationship is my client, I am seeking to bring healing to your relationship and therefore will not be diagnosing the individuals in the relationship. Insurance requires a diagnosis to pay for services. For individuals I am not associated with any insurance panels, and do not accept insurance for payment. |
What is TeleTherapy?
Teletherapy is a safe, secure, confidential way to provide professional counseling services online. Counseling sessions are provided with the use of video conferencing, similar to FaceTime and Skype. You will be connecting in real time with your counselor, over video. I use video conferencing software designed for counseling so it ensures your privacy is protected! Teletherapy is not for every client, and requires an adequate internet connection that can support video chat. Contact me to discuss further.

What if my Spouse won't come?
Seeking out counseling can be scary for many people, and often one person is more motivated to seek help then the other.
Most people don't know what to expect, and don't want to be ganged up on and told they are wrong. You can reassure your spouse that I am focused on your relationship, and will not be playing referee. We can always start with a marital check-up, a simple inventory you take on-line and then we will start by reviewing your results. |
