Patrick Marshall, MA

Hello, my name is Patrick (He/him). I grew up here in Middlebury where I was able to be immersed in the natural beauty of Vermont. After high school I attended college at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology.

Prior to joining the Health Services team here at Middlebury College I primarily worked with patients in psychiatric settings. I started my healthcare experience on the inpatient psychiatric units at UVMMC, progressing to their emergency department, and then a large residential facility in California. Having worked in these facilities for several years I wanted to approach helping patients in a different way. This led me to an incredible group of advocates working diligently to improve conditions and ensure that the rights of psychiatric patients are being upheld.

Throughout my career I’ve striven to maintain patient directed care while utilizing evidence-based practices. These two foundational approaches have allowed for increased patient autonomy while helping to provide the best outcomes. I believe that to provide quality healthcare and assist patients in meeting their goals, it all boils down to meeting each individual where they are in their journey by treating them with respect while having genuine interest in their story.
