I’m Patrick Casale
I’ve worked in the helping profession since 2008, and, like many therapists, I started my career in a community mental health job where instead of feeling fulfilled, I felt overworked, burnt out, taken for granted, underpaid, and underappreciated.
Patrick’s Story
I’ve worked in the helping profession since 2008, and, like many therapists, I started my career in a community mental health job where instead of feeling fulfilled, I felt overworked, burnt out, taken for granted, underpaid, and underappreciated.
I knew I wanted to leave but I feared the uncertainty of private practice, because, at the time, I had no fucking clue how to start a business. Grad school certainly didn't teach me anything about it, and it was almost a taboo topic to discuss.
After a lot of work, some struggles, and trial-and-error, I successfully launched my private practice. Then a couple of years after that, I launched a thriving group practice.
Since graduating in 2015, I have created a thriving coaching business, a group practice of 20+ retreats, TEDx speaker, am the host of 2 globally successful podcasts, have hosted 20Â international retreats, and have been a keynote speaker in multiple events.
The sky is the limit but we need to know how valuable our skills are and where to apply them. Doubt Yourself, Do It anyway.
Coaching with Me Is...
- Rooted in lived experience, not just theory
- Unfiltered, supportive, and bullshit-free
- Centered around your identity and values
- Collaborative—not one-size-fits-all
- Focused on real growth, not performative success
- Full of encouragement, honesty, and strategy
- A space to feel seen, not judged
Coaching with Me Is Not...
- Corporate, clinical, or cookie-cutter
- About pretending to have it all together
- Focused only on profit or scaling fast
- Here to "fix" you—because you're not broken
- A hustle-at-all-costs mindset
- About bypassing fear or discomfort
- A place where neurodivergence is an afterthought

Self Doubt Is Real
On my last day in community mental health, my manager took me out to lunch for an exit interview and promptly told me that I would be back within 30 days and that no one is ever successful on their own. I left feeling angry, hopeless, and defeated.
When I did get clients, I felt a false sense of confidence, always believing that the calls would stop, that I just lucked into them. My impostor syndrome was through the FUCKING roof.
Starting a small business isn’t always going to be easy. Self-employment is not all coffee shops and 4-day weekends, and it can feel like a roller coaster. There are definitely lots of highs and lows.
The lows are really fucking hard. The fear is normal. It is telling us that you're on the right track. It's time to use failure as a data point and not let it prevent you from pursuing your dreams.Â
However, the highs are unparalleled.
Moving beyond 1v1 therapy can definitely feel scary. I believe in using fear as a gas pedal, not a brake.

"Attending retreats facilitated by Patrick has been a transformative experience. As a queer, AuADHD therapist, I often navigate unique challenges in my personal and professional life. These retreats provided a safe and inclusive space to connect with like-minded peers, recharge, and explore my identity and practice on a deeper level."

"Patrick is one of the most prolific, engaging speakers that I’ve ever seen. His ability to interweave his lived experience with his professional expertise creates vulnerability, relatability, and motivation. I can’t wait to see him speak in Colorado at his TEDx."
Jessica L
"Wow! Just, WOW! I just got to watch Patrick speak at his Doubt Yourself Do It Anyway Summit in Italy. I am blown away. He had the crowd laughing, crying, and feeling inspired as hell afterwards!! I will travel to the ends of the earth to watch him do that again. I highly recommend hiring him as a speaker. "
Lauren B
"Patrick gave a training today at our group practice for Autism affirming care and Neurodivergent affirming practices. I felt so seen, affirmed, and validated. It was really fantastic to connect with someone who incorporates lived identity into the way that he trains. I would highly recommend hiring him to come and speak to your staff."
