Patrick McFarland
Registered Psychologist
McFarland Psychological Services Inc.
Hello! I have worked in the mental health field since 2010 as a Mental Heath Therapist and as a Registered Psychologist since 2017. During that time, I have had the opportunity to work with individuals, across the lifespan, with a variety of presenting concerns.
My intent, as a Registered Psychologist, is to help people with a range of physical, emotional and behavioural concerns alleviate feelings of distress and improve overall well-being. In session, I come from a person-centered approach, which focuses on strengths and utilizes empathy and genuineness to help promote well-being. Additionally, I integrate various therapeutic modalities, such as cognitive-behavioural therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-informed approaches.
I look forward to having the opportunity to meet with you and work towards achieving your therapeutic goals. If you have any questions feel free to contact me at Associates Counselling Services with the email or phone number provided below!
