“Patty, I wanted to tell you how truly happy I was to have been able to talk to someone who understood my trauma.  I feel like I’m getting better and better each day.   I think that therapy and all the love and support is making me view life so much differently.  I am so appreciative of you and the help and strength you gave me.  We all have guardian angels and mine guided me to you.    Thank you.”                  S.

“I have been privileged to know Patty Cauley for over 12 years.  She is an incredibly gifted therapist and beautiful soul.  She is not only a patient, kind and empathic listener but adept at providing clarity where there may be cloud or invisibility.  She has an incredibly sharp intellect and a hunger for further knowledge and is constantly growing herself.  She is very intuitive on how best to move forward with issues one is working through.  She shows an amazing sensitivity to one’s personal doctrine but often offers up other ways of thinking or looking at a subject that may be more supportive.  My therapy with Patty started me on a journey towards loving myself and so a better ability to love my life and those in it.  I feel truly blessed to know her.”                S.T.H.

“I was having relationship problems, and I went to Patty for help. Her analysis helped me see the situation more clearly and brought me peace of mind. Patty is an unusually gifted therapist. She listens carefully, helps clarify fuzzy thinking, and gives insightful suggestions to improve relationships. I benefited greatly from Patty’s years of professional experience, not be mention her delightful sense of humor.  I highly recommend her.”                    Shelley Anonymous

“Patty, thank you so much for giving me your precious time.  You have made such a difference in my life…what a listener, teacher, guide you’ve been for me  (on)  my journey.

You are so good at helping me voice my feelings, my discoveries and faith, my muddledness and my confusion AND sort them out.  Thank you! You’ve inspired me — the mosaic idea is intriguing…as is the “container” thought.  I think your suggestion of acknowledging how I touch others will really help me accept the value of my newly found and embraced peace and openness.” Anonymous Spiritual Seeker

“Patty is a true natural in the counseling profession.  I have been her colleague for the past 12 years and never cease to be amazed at her skill for building rapport with her clients and her ability to guide them through their current challenges towards the potential that she sees for them.   She is adept at being able to meet the client where they are at and then move them forward on a path towards healing through her masterful combination of  insight, humor, and empathy.  Many of us, her colleagues, are drawn to Patty due to the ease with which she connects to others and to the wisdom she humbly, and always with good humor, shares.  She is a student of life, eager to learn what she can about the world around her, to marvel at it’s wonders, and to grow through the lessons it imparts.  I am grateful to consider her a mentor and honored to call her a friend.             Larisa Bouman

I have worked with Patty for 10 years.  Patty is an excellent clinician, providing outstanding services to clients in need.  Patty displays a wonderful ability to assess client concerns and she provides extremely helpful insight regarding the challenges they face. Patty expertly evaluates clients’ family history, relationship dynamics, external stressors, and individual dispositions toward depression and/or anxiety.  She encourages clients to develop awareness of their own situations, and helps motivate them to make changes which improve their lives.  Patty truly makes a difference, and I have seen many instances where clients cite Patty’s interventions as helping them manage problems and turn their lives around for the better. I value Patty’s clinical skills and have routinely sought her guidance in difficult cases.  She is a role model for clinicians, as she deals with crisis situations in an amazingly calm and reassuring manner.  Patty stands out as a gifted counselor.”               Laura Baldwin
