Patrick McAuliffe, MEd, is a licensed psychologist trained at Columbia University, specializing in the treatment of school-age children and young adults. With over a decade of experience, he skillfully addresses a wide range of challenges that young people may face, including anxiety, depression, stress-related difficulties, and issues tied to school and social adjustment. Additionally, he has a track record of helping college-aged individuals navigate their academic experiences successfully. Patrick focuses on identifying individual strengths and capacities, rather than merely vulnerabilities, to enhance coping mechanisms and promote personal growth. His therapeutic approach is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and is enriched with mindfulness-based techniques. Alongside his work in school-based therapeutic programs, he maintains a dedicated private practice where he collaborates intensively with clients, their families, and often their educational institutions. This emphasis on supporting the systems surrounding a young person is pivotal in fostering resilience for those experiencing distress.
