Patrick Currie, LPC

Patrick Currie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 20 years of experience working in clinical, educational, and correctional settings. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, career questions, depression, and coping with life changes, and he lists life purpose among his additional areas of focus.

Patrick began with a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Widener University where he studied behavioral medicine and health psychology. He then worked on an inpatient adolescent psychiatric unit and returned to school at Temple University to earn a master’s degree in counseling psychology. Those early roles shaped his focus on trauma, abuse, and helping people rebuild after difficult experiences.

He has provided individual counseling, run workshops on stress management and healthy choices, and led psycho-educational groups for violence prevention, relapse prevention, and anger management. In outpatient practice he has helped people facing anxiety, depression, substance abuse, grief, relationship strains, work transitions, and midlife concerns.

Patrick uses practical skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness training alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy principles and client-centered work. In sessions he emphasizes awareness, acceptance, and taking effective action to address problems. He also pays attention to how money, family of origin, culture, and identity shape what someone is trying to change.

People who are wondering what comes next after a job change, a breakup, a health shift, or a loss may find his approach focused on clear steps and real-life skills. He speaks English and practices in Pennsylvania, and his stated focus includes issues relevant to young adults and people questioning purpose or direction.
