Palo Alto Therapy

"Maybe Joann is "warm, compassionate, engaging" with her patients, though she certainly was not with her limited interaction with me when she cancelled a non-refundable stay and very emotionally and impolitely demanded a refund. After receiving a rain check, she canceled twice more and still expected a refund. But more interesting is that she is a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, and her husband has literally been online stalking me for about three years now, leaving all sorts of fraudulent reviews and comments; even making business profiles for us himself just to leave one star reviews. After being served a cease and desist letter, he then started creating or borrowing others' profiles to continue the practice. If Joann is such a great cognitive behavioral therapist, how does her own spouse act that way?"

"I was in the social anxiety therapy class ten years ago. It challenged my thought process, and gave me the mental toolkit to help me overcome my social anxiety. To say it was life changing was an understatement. I could not recommend it enough."

"After an unexpected cancer diagnosis in 2021 on top of Covid lockdowns, my family and I found we needed help to get through it. Palo Alto Therapy was recommended to us by a family doctor, and I'm so grateful. We've seen different therapists and I would recommend any of them without hesitation. Not only that, they're unlike most mental health offices in that someone answers the phone or email and responds right away. They also accepted our insurance and handle our claims. They follow up, they care, they're compassionate and highly skilled. Everything you need when you're not well mentally."

"I have known the owner of Palo Alto Therapy for a number of years, and he has brought together a strong team of therapists that are truly committed to delivering the highest quality therapy possible. CBT is their forte, and all of the therapists at PAT have been well trained in utilizing CBT to help clients resolve difficulties with anxiety disorders and mood disorders. You can also find help at PAT for general stress management and for relationship difficulties. Highly recommended!"

"Palo Alto Therapy (PAT) is the place to go if you want the highest quality counseling experience. This team of therapists is not only uniquely qualified to provide evidence-based cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) -- but they're also committed to improving the real lives of everyone they serve. I've known PAT's founder for several years now -- and what I know for sure is that Ernie Schmidt is dedicated to making sure that everyone at PAT gets what they really need to experience a better life. There's no psycho-babble here -- but down-to-earth connections and powerful counseling interventions that make a real difference for long-term change."
