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.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

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.

Reviewed November 2023

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.
