Pattra is a wonderful therapist. She shared an amazing expertise on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and a well mannered and consistent way to keep me accountable on following through with my CBT tools. Through my sessions with her, the tools she provided, exercise, and meditation, I was able to reach further than I ever thought I could in my personal growth goals this year, my reactivity to stress lowered significantly. I plan to continue my sessions with her for at least one more year. She has been my best therapist so far, hands down!
