From the therapy room
10 voicesI've been going to Pat Jones for almost three years. I wanted someone who would help me with my anxiety and not just prescribe meds. She's been a blessing! In such a short period of time she has helped me understand why and where my anxiety comes from. I'm definitely a work in progress but I'm light years ahead of where I was before I found her. The tools she has given me are incredible. I'm currently not as dependent on the anxiety medication and look to rid of it completely within the coming weeks. My mind is stronger than ever! She truly cares and I trust her with my life. Such a blessing to have found her.
Pat was my first experience with a therapist. I was having a difficult time and ended up in the ER. The attending physician gave me Pat's contact info and informed me that she was very successful in what she does. Pat is a very professional, caring, sincere person. My experience with her was nothing short of astounding. Her calming demeanor, her awesome smile — she helped me see that I was worthy of respect, self-worth, and happiness. I could go on for hours about Pat and still not have enough time to point out all of her attributes.
You are amazing! I got on the plane and enjoyed myself! Not merely no panic, but I had fun! I can't thank you enough for helping me overcome my phobia. Thank you!
I can highly recommend Pat Jones to anyone seeking highly professional and effective counseling. I recommend Pat based on my personal experience of her working with me, my wife and my family as well as numerous friends I have referred to her. My friends, in every instance, have come back and thanked me for referring Pat — most had previously had bad experiences with other counselors. Like myself, my wife and my family, they too found being in Pat's care to be an effective, comfortable and healing experience. She's the best!
Pat, just a note to let you know that your advice and wisdom has made all the difference in my life! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your guidance with my depression, family dysfunction, business challenges, marital stress, and now teenagers! Basically you have turned my life around many times over. I know that after a visit with you, I will always be wiser and more focused. You have been an invaluable part of my life, and I will always be grateful. You are, without a doubt… awesome!
I have been associated with Pat Jones for the past 17 years as her personal assistant. Pat has always given tirelessly of herself to her clients above and beyond, in her care and treatment. She has always maintained compassion, dignity, and integrity to everyone she has touched, and in the most professional manner. She is Board Certified in her field and dedicated to her profession. Pat has been a personal treasure to me — I have grown and learned from her.
I walked into Pat's office to save my second failing marriage. Little did I know that the appointment would change my life in ways I never thought possible. I suffered from depression that nearly drove me to suicide, and a life history of dependency relationships. I felt worthless. With Pat's help I was able to rise above an abusive marriage, find self-worth, and ultimately resolve the issues underneath. I no longer feel shame over my past or fear the future. I can walk up to anyone, look them straight in the eye and be myself. I am free of the ghosts that haunted me all my life.
I highly recommend Pat Jones as a therapist!! She has been a tremendous help to me. Everyone who knows me says they have seen a huge change in me for the better. She knows when to be firm, but the manner in which she conducts our sessions is very different than I have experienced with other therapists. When I am with Pat, I feel like I am part of the session and not sitting there listening to someone throw psycho-babble at me. She asks all the right questions and yet doesn't expect me to have all the right answers. Pat is the best!!
Dr. Pat, as we call her, has helped everyone I have recommended to her as well as myself. She truly gives advice and direction that you can count on! If you want to fix your issue, she is the best I have ever seen.
When I first met Pat Jones, I was a mess. I was seeing many doctors, on lots of pills, in a very deep depression. The first time I met Pat, we just clicked. She was warm, she believed me, and she understood my dilemma. She started me on the course back. She has taught me a number of tools to live with my problems — we've used hypnosis, tapping, and many relaxation techniques. I had nervous tics constantly when I started seeing her — I don't have them now. I don't know what would have happened to me if I had not met her. Thank you so much, Pat. You are my friend, as well as my therapist.
