Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Patricia really helped me get through a very difficult time with navigating medical leave at work and personal issues at home. With her help I came out a healthier and better person!

Relatable, Helpful, and Professional
Telehealth
I’ve been working with Patricia for several years now, and she is a great sounding board. She helps me reframe my problems or mindsets with positivity, and she is very relatable despite our generational and gender difference. She goes out of her way to personalize tips, videos, mindfulness meditations, or whatever is most relevant— and she can do it all on the fly. Hands down, the best professional I have worked with.

AMAZING!
Telehealth
Patricia was highly professional but also greatly relatable. My mom and I decided to start therapy and I can say within a few sessions and willing clients she helped us create better communication and understanding between us. She started out the session by helping us ground ourselves and then we dived into topics we wanted to talk about. She also helped us realize the miscommunication happening between us. Patricia made a safe space for us and my mom and I greatly appreciate it!

Far Beyond Highly Recommended!
Telehealth
Patricia Kovars is truly amazing to work with. Empathic, intelligent, knowledgeable, and experienced, she will help you with any problem you have without judgment. She is grounded in reality based, proven techniques instead of the normal mumbo jumbo you've all heard before. For me, Patricia Kovars is a shining beacon of hope in an otherwise dark world and I think you will feel the same way if you work with her.

A wonderful experience
Telehealth
My son started seeing Patricia for his anxiety and learning better coping skills. He looks forward to his therapy every week. Patricia has helped my son tremendously and I’m happy to have found her. I highly recommend her to anyone (adult or child) who needs guidance.

Patricia helped me develop techniques to manage general anxiety, and to help translate that into tools to avoid sleeplessness and function generally better and happier, overall.

Patricia is a great therapist - highly recommended
My teenage daughter was having a hard time socially and met with Patricia in video sessions. Patricia took her time with our daughter, listened, gave her advice and pointers and it worked. We saw a change in our daughter almost immediately - she seemed calmer and her self-esteem, self-worth and overall demeanor improved. Patricia was "motherly" in a professional way, non-judgmental, very patient and was able to create a bond and trusting relationship almost immediately. She gave our daughter tools to deal with situations in life in a better way and also taught her ways to think and act that will work better for her. We can highly recommend Patricia to anyone who feel like they need help getting back on the right track in life.

Very happy
Patricia is a wonderful and patient therapist. We have just met her but my daughter really enjoyed the visit. She was able to give my daughter a few things to think about and work on. We look forward to many more encounters.
