You Don’t Have to Settle for Just Getting By

The “what ifs” can feel endless:

“What if I fail again?”
“What if this never changes?”
“What if I’ve already tried everything?”

At Trellis, we believe that growth and healing are possible for every person and every community. Through therapy, coaching, and community engagement, we help people move beyond burnout, work through trauma, reconnect with what matters, and take meaningful steps toward a future that feels whole and hopeful.

Meet The Team Behind Trellis

Patrick (RSW) and Beth (RN) founded Trellis in 2023 after more than 15 years in mental health and community care. What began as a dream to create a place where people could find wholeness and health in mind, body, and soul is today Trellis Mental Health.

Patrick O'Halloran

Therapist, RSW

Patrick specializes in helping people work through trauma, depression, anxiety, and addictions. He uses an informed, yet relaxed approach to help the therapy process feel accessible. This approach helps many individuals who are new to, unsure or uncomfortable with the idea of counselling.

He uses a combination of therapeutic techniques, knowledge of neurobiology, physical health, and our nervous system to help people identify and challenge behaviors, reactions, and patterns they want to change or improve. This approach often connects well with first responders, the military, and health professionals.

He also frequently supports individuals in learning to healthily process and manage emotions, as well as those struggling with shame, boundaries, relational conflict and low self-worth, among other challenges.

Patrick has been trained in using various trauma therapy techniques, Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, Emotion Focused Family Therapy, CBT, DBT, and Motivational Interviewing.

Patrick sees individuals aged 16 years and older.

Patrick is a registered provider for clients covered through Blue Cross and N.I.H.B.

Beth O'Halloran

Coach, RN, MScN

Beth works with people who are ready for change but feel burdened, stretched thin, uncertain, or unsure of where to start. She helps clients identify what matters most right now, explore who they want to become, and take practical steps toward that vision.

With over 15 years of experience as a Registered Nurse in community health, mental health, and education, Beth brings both professional expertise and genuine care to her coaching. She understands how values, relationships, and life circumstances shape the way we show up, and she creates a supportive space to sort through challenges and make meaningful progress.

Clients often connect with Beth when they are navigating questions of identity and purpose, wondering how to reclaim parts of themselves that have felt lost or set aside, or are seeking healthier ways to care for themselves and connect with others around them. Her approach is collaborative, thoughtful, and focused on helping people build the clarity and confidence they need to move forward.

Beth offers one-on-one coaching for individuals aged 18 and older, as well as group and team coaching for organizations and workplaces.

Community care is at the heart of what we do.
