Patrick Sviokla

Dr. Sviokla works with children, adolescents, families, and adults, and couples, specializing in the treatment of depression, anxiety, and trauma related issues. Dr. Sviokla focuses on building a rapport with his clients in order to foster a space for open communication, trust, and positive energy. He offers an interactive experience to those who require something alternative to “talk therapy” and is creative in his interventions. He has extensive expertise in working with schools and families to help children become more integrated into their social and academic communities, fostering a sense of belonging. In addition, to his passion for family therapy, Dr. Sviokla works with couples/partners to overcome obstacles related to communication, trust, attachment, and trauma.  

Dr. Sviokla provides a safe and non-judgmental space for clients of all types to feel comfortable exploring their unique strengths and challenges. Modern life presents a myriad of challenges to everyone and it is often difficult to understand these challenges alone. Dr. Sviokla believes that psychotherapy can help people gain a greater awareness of the roots of their symptoms, which often includes understandable but destructive patterns of behavior, thought, and emotion. Greater awareness leads to a greater ability to make positive changes.
