Comments from employees of Palo Alto Therapy

“The kindness and thoughtfulness of everyone at PAT has been something I’m not used to from past jobs. It’s been such a wonderful feeling knowing how much we all care about each other and are there for each other whether it comes to a busy day or just a hard day in general. I’m so thankful to work somewhere where the random acts of kindness are genuine and meaningful and people actually care. I can’t imagine working somewhere else just because of how caring and wonderful the staff is”

“I was so sad to leave Palo Alto Therapy (PAT). One of the greatest things about working at PAT was the invaluable learning opportunities. Ernie Schmidt was my mentor and opened up a whole new world of therapy techniques that I would not have learned without him and will never forget. He also taught me about the business side of building and maintaining a practice and made it look so easy, although now I know how much goes into it and how exhausting it can be. He is so dedicated to his practice, clients, and staff and was always available to help me whenever I was stuck with a client and also to provide me with support. The clients at Palo Alto Therapy were also great to work with and I learned a great deal from them as well. I will forever be indebted to Ernie and PAT will always have a warm place in my heart.”
