IN THE WORDS OF SOME TRAINING PARTICIPANTS:

"Pat is a dynamic and engaging facilitator, whose personal life stories really added to my understanding and knowledge
of how to better facilitate DBt skills training."

"Pat's training is fantastic. With all her experience...she makes it very applicable and not only to our clients but for
ourselves. She is very approachable and down to earth, and I like the ways she accepts all questions and
challenges...It could be a lot of dry technique, but she is able to present it in a way that is very interesting."

"Although I have had previous DBT training, I learned new information from her training".

"....I would hear her all over again..."
