I have come a long way with the support of Patricia. I couldn't have done it without her. She has been the biggest and most impactful support to me getting out of an abusive relationship. Her expertise, knowledge, concern, skills, and ability to see clearly and speak directly into those places is amazing and so helpful. I feel motivated to continue and grow and strengthen myself.

I had canceled my subscription when I got a message from Patricia. I figured that I had almost a full month left so it couldn't hurt to talk with her. She was so validating and offered really helpful easy solutions that I renewed my subscription. Just knowing that I can message her anytime I am struggling and that her response will have something simple that I can do that actually helps is very comforting.
