who we are
The Agency
Lifting the Veil is for people who have faced profound trauma, grief, loss, adversity, or experiences that have shaken them to their core. We provide compassionate, trauma-specific therapy and supportive services for people who are ready to go deeper.
Through individual therapy, EMDR intensives and retreats, groups, and healthcare concierge services, we help people move beyond insight alone and toward meaningful change.
We believe healing is possible. We believe people can recover from what has happened to them. And we believe there is a life waiting on the other side.
We want to create a community where courageous people can come as they are, tell the truth about what they have experienced, and find skilled providers who are willing to sit with the darkness without losing sight of hope.
Our Founder
Patricia Godsey brings 20 years of experience in the mental health field and 5 years of providing therapy, creating a compassionate and experienced space for the work we’ll do together. Patricia has spent 10 years working in policy and leadership with a focus on the recovery model and bringing forward the voices of people receiving mental health services.
She led and managed peer support retreats for over a decade, spoke at national conferences, and helped dream up and design Peerpocalypse, Oregon’s statewide conference for peer support specialists and mental health change agents.
Her work is rooted in a simple but powerful belief: people can and do recover. She brings this belief into her work with each person, creating space for healing, growth, and the possibility of something different.
