Patient Testimonials

Very much appreciate Dr. Patallo’s guidance, insights, and compassion as he helped me navigate challenging life changes and grief. Highly recommend him as a therapist.

— Verified review

Dr. Patallo is an exceptional psychologist. His stated goal from the beginning had been to make himself not needed. He helps me develop scaffolding skills with patience, and challenges me to perceive the world as it is rather than how I want it to be. The sessions flow well and he manages to insert a sense of humor and play when appropriate, which makes difficult inner work more accessible. I consistently leave sessions empowered with new “takeaways.” I like the mix of unstructured discussion with the structure of mindfulness tenants, and the integration of multiple therapeutic approaches.
