Patricia is great! I wanted a black therapist when I first came on line. Ms Patricia answered first and then she would say things that captured my attention so I scheduled an appointment and she listened understood and gave sound advice.

Patricia is great! From our first session, I knew she was going to be a good fit for my needs. She shares her own stories, which makes me feel more comfortable about sharing my stories. She is interactive and likes to be involved / receive updates in between sessions, which is nice. I highly recommend her!
