You don’t have to
carry this alone.
When anxiety, shame, or familiar patterns leave you feeling stuck, there is room to slow down, be understood, and find a way forward.
Support for what
you’re carrying.
You may look steady on the outside while feeling overwhelmed within. Counseling offers a space to understand your experience and move toward meaningful change at your own pace.
More room to breathe
Work through anxiety, shame, trauma, and patterns that keep pulling you back. We’ll explore what is underneath your struggles with curiosity and compassion.
A way forward
Support for unwanted or compulsive sexual behaviors, including pornography use, and the relational wounds that can accompany them.
Finding connection
Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO), an IFS-informed approach to understanding the protective patterns that come between you and building space for more honest connection.
One person. Many parts.
Every part has a story.
Part of you may want change while another part feels afraid. IFS gives us a compassionate way to understand these different experiences within you.
Together, we get to know the parts that work hard to protect you and the vulnerable places they protect. We make room for the calm, curious, compassionate presence IFS calls Self.
From Patrick’s “One Person, Many Parts” presentation.
Healing begins with getting curious about the parts of you that have been trying so hard.
Hi, I’m Patrick.
I’m Patrick Cagle, an Associate Licensed Counselor in Montgomery, Alabama. I help individuals and couples understand the patterns that keep them stuck and find a path toward deeper connection and healing.
My approach is rooted in Internal Family Systems. We’ll slow down, listen to what’s happening inside, and work together with compassion.
For those who desire it, I integrate Christian faith into counseling in a way that supports your goals and respects your beliefs.

Let’s talk
Start with a free 15-minute consultation. Share a little about what brings you here and ask the questions on your mind.
Find your pace
We’ll talk about your goals and what would help you feel supported. You don’t need to have everything figured out.
Make space for change
Meet in person in Montgomery or through telehealth in Alabama as we explore the patterns and experiences that matter to you.
What does counseling cost, and do you accept insurance?
Sessions are offered on a private-pay basis at $125 per session. While I don’t bill insurance, I accept all credit cards, cash, checks, and HSA/FSA payments.
Do I need to know anything about IFS?
No. I’ll introduce the approach in everyday language and we’ll work at a pace that feels right for you.
Do you offer Christian counseling?
Yes. If you would like to include your Christian faith, we can integrate it into our work. Your preferences guide that conversation.
Can we meet online?
Yes. I offer telehealth for clients located in Alabama, as well as in-person counseling in Montgomery.
How do I know if we’re a good fit?
The free consultation gives us a chance to talk about what you’re looking for and whether my approach fits your needs.
A little support can make
the path feel less lonely.
You don’t need the perfect words to reach out. Let’s start with a conversation about what you need.
