Patrick Nave, LMHC

He used bullying tactics on my teenage son

One day I arrived for my apt. and they said that my insurance was inactive. I called my insurance and it was confirmed that my policy was in fact active. I then urged them to schedule an appointment for the next week. Never got a confirmation for my apt. so I called and sure enough they didn’t schedule me after the mix up the week before. Very unprofessional and untrustworthy. He is always criticizing and judging in sessions. This is surprising given his educational background. Do not recommend!

My teenager has been seeing Dr. Nave for a while. He saw another counselor but was never able to build rapport. Dr. Nave has been able to make him feel comfortable enough to open up, not easy with an introverted male who is not very articulate about his feelings. My son likes that he gives him tools to manage his issues. Dr. Nave has been approachable and helpful to me also, explaining concepts and sharing resources. Days/office hours are very convenient. I recommend him in good conscience.

Dr. Nave has an inability to relate to his patients that I would not have expected with his educational background. He is also often irritable and critical during the sessions I had. I would not suggest him under any circumstances . He often stopped appointments early for no reason.
