Lanita is so nice and helpful. After every session, I feel seen, heard, but also empowered to make healthy changes in my thought process. I’m glad I found her.

Lanita is amazing. She and I work to find the problem and get to a solution. She always recommends that I talk about my feelings, discuss why I am feeling that way, and how we can change that to be something else - because that's always why I am bothered - it's not what I want it to be. Her process for getting me to find a solution for myself - which is where this will go when I'm ready (I'm getting there, but not there yet) will be extremely valuable in the long run. I can already see it working in my life. I love the results. Such a great relationship!

Mrs Patterson has provided practical and relatable material challenges my ability to think. Her ability to reason and understand provides a safe place for me to vulnerable.

Big fan of Lanita. I enjoy her way of thinking about a problem which makes me think. She’s an excellent listener with no shortage of good ideas, tips and consistent communication. Like I said, big fan.
