Patrick Nitch, M.Ed., LCMHC
Meet Patrick
Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to learn more about my psychotherapy practice, Mindful Therapy Asheville. My intention is to serve the Asheville community by co-creating—together with you—a nonjudgmental, compassionate space where deep inner healing and transformation are possible. While I serve in the role of a therapist, guide and mentor, I approach this work first and foremost with humility. I see myself as a fellow traveler learning, just like you, how to meet life with a greater sense of ease, compassion, and joy amidst its many challenges.
My therapeutic style is rooted in mindfulness, contemplative practice, and spirituality, while integrating effective Western modalities, particularly Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. IFS resonates deeply with me because of its profoundly non-pathologizing approach. We all have parts. We all experience pain. And, like you, I am continually navigating the complexity of my own internal world. I hope to hear from you!
