My experience working Patrick has been transformative. His IFS skills, his sense of presence, and just his attention to detail — the way he cares about the work — have made such a big difference for me, especially in terms of navigating past trauma. I would recommend him to anyone.
I've gotten to know Patrick through consultation, and I'm always struck by how much he cares. He's creative, passionate about IFS and trauma work, and genuinely wants the best for his clients. Highly recommend!

Not only is Cassidy a consummate professional at his job, he's also one of the most thoughtful and caring people I have ever met. I think this is what separates the good therapists from the great therapists. He's helped me immensely, and I'm eternally grateful for that.
I had a great experience working with patrick. We really got to the bottom of some important stuff. He is a great IFS therapist. If you are looking for a skilled trauma therapist in Vermont i highly recommend him.

Thank you for sharing this.
I honestly cannot recommend Patrick highly enough. His depth of understanding, clinical knowledge, sensitivity and kindness make him one of the most effective therapists I’ve ever worked with. I would send everyone I know to him if I could!
Thank you!
I met Patrick through a consultation group led by a very well-known and experienced IFS therapist who worked directly with the participants. I had the opportunity to witness Patrick engaging in his own healing work, which, to me, is an important mark of a dedicated therapist. His willingness to do his own work speaks to the integrity he brings to his work with others. Patrick is someone I would absolutely refer clients to.
Doing our own healing is so essential! I couldn't agree more. Thanks.
Incredible experience. I am so very lucky to have met Patrick Cassidy and was able to work with him. I had several areas of trauma in my life and was dealing with some crippling anxiety. He introduced IFS work to me and it has completely changed my life. I had done therapy in other forms for many years and this was an very unexpected and very swift victory for me in many areas. So glad I found him. I am unsure if anyone else in Vermont is doing work like this. He is so attentive and thoughtful.
IFS is powerful stuff. Thanks for sharing this.
Some of the most compassionate, welcoming and thoughtful trauma care in Vermont. 10/10 highly recommend.
I believe compassion is essential in this work. Thank you for mentioning that.
