Dr Patrick Cheatham

Licensed Psychologist

“I hope to build a strong working relationship with people and be curious about them.”

About Me

I believe therapy thrives when we build a strong working relationship that is grounded in mutual trust. My approach centres on a deep curiosity about your unique experiences and challenges. We'll explore your thoughts and feelings together, understanding what shapes your world. This collaborative space is ideal for those ready to make sense of their internal landscape. I aim to help you navigate life's complexities with clarity and support, uncovering your own insights.

Approach

I stay genuinely curious as we map what matters to you, noticing patterns in relationships and sexuality that often shape daily life. In sessions—in English, from my Portland office or through secure online meetings—we move at a steady, collaborative pace: careful listening, targeted questions, and occasional brief assessments to clarify what’s driving distress. Between meetings I may suggest small experiments or reflective prompts to test new ways of relating. This way of working tends to suit adults seeking clear, practical insight and steady support.
