Hello.
I am Dr. Mathieu, a psychologist licensed in the State of Minnesota. I have over 30 years of experience as a psychologist and therapist across a variety of clinical settings. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns and clinical issues including anxiety, depression, ADHD, parenting concerns, physical and emotional abuse issues, and self-confidence and self-esteem issues.
I am eclectic in my therapeutic approaches to clinical issues and concerns. I draw on various therapy approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic interventions, strength based problem solving, and narrative therapy. I believe it is important to treat everyone respectfully and with compassion. I try to avoid stigmatizing clinical labels. I will work with you to develop a treatment plan to meet your specific needs.
Seeking a healthier and happier life requires courage and I admire you for taking these first steps toward change. I am here to encourage, support, and help you on this personal journey. I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I have seen quite a few therapists in my life and very few have made me feel as instantly comfortable as Dr Mathieu
I am so thankful for getting matched with Patrick for my sessions! I would definitely recommend Dr. Mathieu!
He has a great sense of humor and is concerned about his clients.
Listens and very caring. Helped me know I deserve better and safety
My sessions with Dr. Mathieu have been very helpful.
Dr. Mathieu was well spoken, kind, and always timely on our call. I felt like he truly cared even though I only worked with him a short time.
I have met with Dr. Mathieu a couple of times now! He's a pleasure to speak with, he's got a very calm demeanor and it's very easy to talk to him about my concerns and my life. This is the first time I've given therapy a try, and I've been very happy so far. I'm really grateful that I was matched with him because he's made this process a lot less stressful than I was anticipating! I look forward to many more sessions to help tame my tornado brain lol.
Dr. Mathieu has been extremely helpful and insightful while we work through our weekly sessions. I am understanding myself better and feel like I has been given some very good answers to my questions.
My sessions with Dr. Mathieu are a critical part of my week. He is a kind and funny man who always leaves me with a solution or idea to ponder. Patrick keeps careful track of my details and holds me accountable if there is something I am working on.
Dr. Mathieu was easily one of the best counselors I've ever interacted with. With soft spoken words and intellectual insights, what makes him a great counselor is his ability to hear you out to completion and give you feedback not only based on knowledge but personal experience.
Professional. Personable. Punctual. Understanding. Constructive.
Amazing therapist who will help anyone immensely. I would highly recommend Dr. Mathieu to anyone.
Dr. Mathiew is very understanding of my issues and talks to me with a lot of respect its been a lot more postitive than previous therapy experiences.
I decided to try BetterHelp after a friend recommended it to me because it was too much for me to even try and go to a local therapist. Needless to say Dr. Mathieu has been so understanding in that and has made this a more comfortable process with me so far. I’m still very new to it, but Dr. Mathieu has helped me open my mind to this being a good thing for me and has opened me up to resources as well.
