Pattra is very friendly and helpful in moving me out of my old stuck ways of thinking and acting, and has been monumental in creating the shift I’ve been trying to figure out on my own for my whole life.

Pattra is just overall a wonderful human; she is considerate, kind, and knows how to redirect conversation gently when getting off track from the original point. Pattra routinely checks in outside of our sessions and will conversate in messages outside of our sessions together. I never feel as if she is unavailable to me, and I know I can reach out to her whenever and she will not make me feel like a burden to do so.

Pattra Dodd is so easy to talk to, she takes notes and can recall past experiences and people that I’ve spoken about so that she truly personalizes what she says to you. She is very professional and cares. There are some weeks that I wonder if I need to talk and once I have the appointment it becomes obvious that I did need to talk. I’m doing better with her help
