Patrick Perry

Patrick Perry, LPCC, is a Minnesota-based mental health therapist with 21 years of experience. He began his career licensed in Tennessee and later Ohio, and has been practicing in the Twin Cities since 2011. Across much of his professional life, he has worked in chemical dependence treatment settings and has also focused his private practice on addiction-related concerns, alongside support for stress, anxiety, trauma, and major life transitions.

For eight years, Patrick was part of the Pride Institute and has extensive experience working with LGBTQIA clients. As a self-identified transman, he has practiced openly when it has been safe to do so and has been writing letters for trans-identified clients for more than a decade. His work has included both adolescents and adults, with attention to concerns such as guilt and shame, mood-related challenges, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and developing self-love.

Patrick incorporates clinical hypnotherapy into his work to help clients process traumatic experiences in ways that feel less obstructive to daily life. He has practiced clinical hypnotherapy since 2005 and often uses metaphors to make complex concepts easier to understand. He also brings training as a certified Reiki Master Healer and Teacher, using Reiki with clients to support relaxation, pain management, and as an alternative to therapy when appropriate.
