PATRICK NEWMAN, Ph.D.

Patrick Newman received his PhD in 1976. His early career was in community mental health in Salida, Colorado where he was a clinician and administrator. In 1980 he returned to his home town and the University of Tulsa where he taught graduate courses in application and theory of personal growth and transformation. Since 1982 he has maintained a full time private practice in psychology working with individuals, couples, and young adults.

Patrick has continued to teach and lead groups throughout his career. He has a knack for making complex subjects accessible and understandable. In addition to psychology and psychotherapy, Patrick is conversant in poetry, classical literature, and spiritual traditions. He weaves the healing power of myth, metaphor, poetry, and storytelling into all aspects of his work. Patrick sees his calling as helping transform obstacles into opportunities for growth. He consistently invites himself and others to encounter the growth edge between whom we are and who we are becoming. His ability to listen is the source of his skill in facilitating groups, teaching, and individual psychotherapy. He continually strives to hear what is truly going on within himself, others, and the deeper conversation. You will find Patrick’s approach soulful and transformative, challenging you to explore new ways of seeing, being, and living.

Pat’s passions are his family, the natural world, running, reading, poetry, and living life as a journey. He and his wife Jane facilitate groups together and are most proud of their 36 year collaboration as partners in marriage, parenting, and participation in the larger community.
