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.

I’m only two weeks in with Patrice, but she has already helped me so much. She is patient, caring, knowledgeable, and supportive. I would highly recommend trying a session with her!
