Despite being very proud of the social impact work he\u2019d spearheaded, the impact was not as tangible as what he\u2019d experienced via teaching, volunteering, or peer support in 12-step programs and group therapy.
Therefore, in 2019 Patch sought tangible impact as a clinical social worker, therapist, and coach. Patch will finish his MSW at UCLA in June and will be continuing to work as a Therapist at LA\u2019s top community mental health agency, Didi Hirsch.
Patch\u2019s mission is to normalize male mental health and male emotionality \u2013 as a social worker and therapist and as a friend, son, brother, dad, and partner.
