Patricia (Patti) Karl has help me in a way I didn't think was possible. I thought my concerns were trivial, yet she dove in to get to the root cause with ease. She has a very effective way to make you feel comfortable and challenges you to better yourself.
I would recommend Patti to anyone that even doubts that therapy would not be a good thing. Her abilities to help people is simply amazing.

Patricia Karl is a very intuitive therapist, she really emphasizes on open and direct communication. Her personality and approach provides a safe environment to where an individual who has trust issues can lay out all their issues onto the table and receive empathy, support, and constructive feedback. She also incorporates the Bible within her sessions if you’re interested in that, for me it’s making a difference. I recommend giving her a try and also be patient, be genuine, and be yourself.

Written on May 20, 2024 after therapy with Patricia for 1 month on issues concerning stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, and coping with life changes
I am so grateful for the support and guidance I received from Patti. Prior to our sessions, I was experiencing PTSD symptoms and constant worry that impacted my daily life. Patti provided a safe environment that made it possible for me to confront and process my past.
Patti’s intelligence and expertise were evident from the start. She was able to break down why my body was reacting the way it did to certain triggers, which helped me to better understand my brain and emotions. This deeper understanding was crucial in my journey and allowed me to work towards effective solutions.
Since meeting with Patti, I have made incredible strides in my mental health journey. My PTSD symptoms are virtually gone and I have felt more peace in my life than ever. Her patience, dedication, and genuine care have been instrumental in my improvement. I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and empathetic therapist to help navigate PTSD, anxiety, and worry, as well as plenty of other issues. She’s made a huge and lasting difference in my life.

She’s a hard one.
I’ve done therapy, read self help books, self deprivation tank, practiced meditation. She is the ULTIMATE devil’s advocate. She not only hears you, but gives you resources to elevate your healing journey. Take her with a grain of salt, listen to yourself and DO YOUR HOMEWORK. You’ll see great success when you really hear what she’s got to say.
