About Patricia
Patricia (Pat) La Plante is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 31 years of experience. She focuses on grief and loss, trauma, crisis response, and related concerns such as depression and anxiety. Pat has worked in hospitals, agencies, and private practice and brings a long history of direct support during emergencies and personal crises.
Pat was licensed in 1992 and has supported people after hurricanes, mass shootings, and natural disasters. She has experience with crisis teams, mobile response units, and community agencies. That background shaped a practical style that aims to stabilize immediate needs and then address longer-term healing.
Her academic background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Communications from Virginia Tech, a Master of Arts in counseling, and a Master of Arts in spiritual formation. She also completed a minor in nutrition, which informed her earlier work with eating disorders and related health concerns.
In sessions Pat takes a companion role. She says she cannot solve problems for people, but she will walk beside them as a guide, mentor, and encourager. Conversations typically look at what led to current struggles and identify manageable steps to move forward.
Pat helps people work through many life challenges, including caregiver stress, chronic illness, family of origin issues, grief, and post-traumatic stress. She aims to help clients reconnect with purpose and regain a sense of direction after loss or upheaval.
People who value a steady, experienced presence and a practical, reflective approach may find her style helpful. She welcomes English-speaking clients and accepts international clients who are able to meet as arranged.
