"Patricia Robinson is definitely THE Coach of Choice for clients who have Aspergers and autism.
I have been happy to refer people to her. In addition, she is an
excellent coach for clients who want a well-trained coach who is
conscientious, compassionate, and caring. Patricia is patient when a
problem is persistent. She's totally on your side. She can empower you
to discover the best solution for your personal dilemma."

"Coaching with Patricia is like riding a wave into shore. You are
gently rolling along, when all of a sudden you are at the crest gliding
down with an Aha moment! Patricia knows how to keep me focused in the
present, mirroring, questioning, and getting me to tap into my inner
knowing that takes me to the place that moves me forward." Jude

Testimonials About Therapy:
I am not listing testimonials from therapy clients, because the ethical standards of CAMFT, the Professional Organization for California Marriage and Family Therapists, do not allow testimonials:
"Marriage and family therapists do not solicit
testimonials from patients."
CAMFT Ethical Standards
As
a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I specialize in helping
clients improve their relationships, whether that's within the family,
at school, or at work. I am especially interested in working with individuals with Asperger's, autism and ADHD.
As a Coach, I focus on professional and practical issues, things like employment and job interviews, social issues at work, as well as general social skills topics like managing eye contact, small talk, meeting people, dating, and romantic and sexual relationships. Many of my coaching clients are professional individuals with Asperger's, autism or ADHD. Others don't have a diagnosis, but may be struggling with executive functioning, organization or social issues.
As a former Engineer, I’ve been trained to solve problems and I have a unique
perspective on therapy. We can work together to deal with
difficult and longstanding patterns. Or, if you prefer, we can come up
with simple solutions to your current problems. I have unique ways of
understanding and working with emotions, ways that make sense to those
of you who don’t want to listen to psychobabble, but who just want to
improve your lives.
