Patricia Schofield is the only one I will go to anytime I need to work on myself. She is the only person who is able to give me feedback that I’m able to implement in my life that produces great results.

She listens to see what YOUR goals are and helps you achieve them. I’ve always had issues with therapist wanting me to be a victim but she makes me feel stronger and I’m able to view things in a better light. It’s okay to have bad things happen and it’s hard but if you want to learn how to cope in a way that works for you, look no further. Another strength of hers is her ability to help with my people pleasing attitude. I’m learning to find balance and boundaries while keeping my sanity.

My relationships with others are contributing to grow and I’m able to be myself more than ever. It’s like a weight is lifted off my shoulders.

Patricia is a great listener. She supports you in a myriad of ways. Very intuitional, has a good sense of when to challenge and when to just listen. Patricia has specifically helped me immensely to love myself more and give myself more grace.
