Testimonials

"I do not exaggerate when I say that Pat Scott is the best therapist I have ever had. I learned so much and cherished our therapeutic relationship so greatly from the work we first did together in 2003, that when I thought about going into therapy again 8 years ago, she was the person I looked for. Thankfully, I found her.

I am doubly grateful because just as we were entering the Covid-19 years, I became a 24/7 caregiver for my husband whose dementia accelerated when he unexpectedly lost his vision. Without Pat’s support I doubt I would have survived the double isolation, stress and burnout of caregiving and the pandemic as well as I did. Then, after my husband passed in early 2024, Pat has helped me navigate the devastating months of loss and grief that followed.

I know that therapy only works if one is prepared to work hard and to dig deeply and truthfully. If that is you, Pat is the therapist to go on that journey with. I always feel safe with and supported by her. She listens, helps to connect the dots and always gives me clear and honest feedback. I always feel validated and empowered when I work with her."

"2 years ago I moved to Mexico after my husband was deported. I had two small children and was living in a new country that I had been forced to relocate to. After the trauma of this enormous change and trying to adapt to our new life, I was suffering from depression and severe anxiety. I had struggled with this before and was prescribed medication but it seemed to have stopped working. I felt extremely crippled by my anxiety and the stress of my new life. When I first started seeing Pat she right away started to help me regain control of my anxiety and provided the tools I needed to move forward from the trauma. In a short amount of time I began to feel more confident in my choices and more capable of dealing with the stress of life. I have continued to work with Pat on a weekly basis and feel like I always have the support I need to get through my ups and downs I am a better mother, and person because if her guidance. She has given me back my power and I don’t know where I would be today without her love and support"

"In my 75th year I decided to get some counseling to deal with some old, stubborn bad habits, as well to investigate some “lost” parts of myself. I had some very good experience with a regular psychotherapist, but I felt that there were some areas of my psyche that were dormant, outside the scope of that therapeutic inquiry. In a couple of meetings with Patricia I was able to tap into some of those dimensions; she helped me communicate with myself in an entirely different, non-verbal way, which has awakened some neglected domains of my internal experience. Working with Patricia was fun, gentle, very relaxing and at the same time quite profound. I expect to continue to work with Patricia when I return to San Miguel. Art therapy’s was a wonderfully fresh experience for a guy who was dissuaded early in life from thinking of

himself as artistic."
