I had such a good feeling after our first meeting. From now on, I trust her, I respect her point of view, I reflect on the things she is saying. She is honest, she is doing this with heart and soul and with the right intentions. She challenges me to grow as individual. Sometimes it is really confronting, but afterwards I understand why. She is very very good. Patricia is there to make you a better, stronger, more self-loved person. She is really really good; Thank you for being by my side.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Patricia is a great therapist. She shows compassion, listens patiently, gives helpful feedback and shares insights, new perspectives and helps disect unhelpful thought patters. She creates a safe space to open up and share vulnerable thoughts and feelings and eonugh room to think about and feel the learnings and emotions that arise during the sessions.
Fantastic therapist! Patient, friendly and understanding. She’s very professional and I would recommend her. I’ve not been seeing her long so couldn’t give more details than that at this point but feeling good at what we’ve done so far.
The great thing about Patricia is that I can bring up anything at each of our sessions and she helps me explore and understand the interconnectedness of each item in a safe, empowering space.
My very first session with Patricia put me at ease. Her warm smile and gentle encouraging tone helped me to open up and share some of my intimate experiences and traumas with her. Patricia is supportive, insightful and compassionate. She takes the time to listen, reflect back and offers alternative ways of reframing scenarios in a positive light. Patricia, Thank you for being you and for holding the space for me share so freely and explicitly without judgement. I would highly recommend Patricia as a therapist.
