Patrice is so wise and wonderful. I've been with her for over 2 years now and she has helped me overcome a lot of struggles in my life. I feel stronger and more confident than I was prior to seeing Patrice.

Patrice is incredibly thoughtful in her approach to conversation. She listens well and provides actionable guidance with a sincere desire to help me find what works for me. I recommend her very much.

Patrice is a first-class therapist. Online therapy is quality therapy. She knows what she is doing, and helps me in ways that are more effective than some other therapists I have had. I am so very grateful for her help!

My therapist is great! I would say I trust her more than any professional I have gone to. I do wish Better help would accept medical coverage, but my therapist has my highest rating.

Patrice is wonderful to work with - kind, patient and well informed on a variety of practices and techniques. She has been instrumental in my improved mood, viewpoint and perspective of the world. She's been the best therapist I've had in a lifetime of therapy.

Patrice is "present," tuned in, connected, and listens to understand. She hears not only what is being said, but also what is not being said, which allows her to tap into the core of what the true issue is. Her questions are thoughtful and thought-provoking, and she has opened my eyes in a way that no other therapist has. I do not feel dependent on her but rather I feel a growth spurt, like I can do life better on my own. I don't want to need a therapist, I simply just want to continue growing and learning.

I am so grateful to be working with Mary Patrice Pero. She is a wonderfully caring and empathetic therapist who also challenges me with difficult questions and goals. She is also a great listener. We have only been working together a few weeks and I am already feeling lighter. I look forward to each session and know that with her help I will continue to grow and achieve my goals.

Mary has a deep understanding of the source of many core wounds that result in low self esteem and low self worth. She can confidently and honestly navigate sensitive topics with care.

In just our first session, Patrice was able to identify issues I’ve been struggling to articulate and laid out an achievable, non-abstract roadmap to betterment. Patrice is very compassionate, focused, and insightful. I would feel confident referring her to anyone looking for help and betterment.
