Patricia (Pat) La Plante, LPC

Patricia (Pat) La Plante, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado who specializes in grief and loss, trauma, and crisis intervention. She was licensed in 1992 and has brought that expertise into hospitals, private practice, and a range of agencies, including the Community Reach Center Mobile Crisis Unit, Denver Rescue Mission, and All-Health Network. In her role as a crisis counselor and first responder she has supported people after hurricanes, mass shootings, bank robberies, corporate downsizings, and natural disasters, and she has accompanied the dying and those who mourn through the grief process.

Patricia earned a BA in Communications from Virginia Tech, an MA in counseling, and an MA in spiritual formation. A minor in nutrition informed her work with people struggling with eating disorders. She approaches counseling as a collaborative journey - she does not claim to fix problems for others but offers steady guidance, mentorship, and encouragement while clients examine how patterns developed and identify what holds them back.

Grounded in a belief that each person has a distinct purpose, she helps people explore their values, heal from loss and trauma, and reconnect with meaningful goals. Patricia seeks to walk alongside individuals as they work toward becoming the people they were created to be, and she looks forward to meeting and partnering with those who seek support.
