Focus One Inc

Dr. Patricia Noll is absolutely an amazing holistic therapist. She teaches awareness of your conscious thinking so you can stay positive in that present moment. She has truly helped me in so many ways and every time I have needed her she has been. She truly cares for her clients. I am blessed to have her in my life. My thinking has totally changed for the better!

Dr. Noll is amazing! She teaches you how to live a positive life and gives you the tools you need to continue being successful. She has been an amazing influence on me and I am so happy that I found her. I can call her anytime and she always answers. She always has a smile on her face and she lives what she teaches. Anyone who has had a negative thing to say must not have been looking to change their lives or want to face reality. When you learn how to take responsibility for your actions and you learn how to change your thinking (which Dr. Noll is to thank for that) you truly do start to see and feel the positive outcome. You won't be disappointed. Thank you for everything Dr. Noll.

From a legal stand point- If you are sent for an evaluation for counseling it means you are going to do counseling. These other negative reviews don't understand how the law works and what the state requires to satisfy their DUI or Substance use related requirements- Just know if the state sent you in for an evaluation...YOU WILL BE DOING TREATMENT.

I don't understand the other reviews, obviously they just wanted to keep drinking or drugging than get better and learn to live happily without all that crap! I did and I do and she saved my life and taught me how to really live.
If you REALLY want to feel better, if you want to create real happiness in your life, then you need to go see Dr. Pat Noll at Focus One. She has a program and classes that have changed my life and countless others.

Its been over 10 years since I attended Focus One and life is great. Thanks to Miss Pat, I know how to recognize my bad thoughts and I am able to change that thought process, it is what it is. If you are tired of the same destructive cycle in your life, please give Focus One a shot!

I learned so much from myTime spent at focus one
I initially wasnt too happy to with the cost of the classes but money is money and If you truly take what she teaches and implement into your life with other tools of mental health it can be priceless

If money is a main concern or worry in life youre focused on the wrong thing

Dr. Noll is Awesome. It took me time but I improved my whole life with the help of her expertise.

This lady is only in this business for your money!! Do not trust her!! She will keep you in classes until she has all your money. I lost $1000 and months of my time.

She has a bad reputation in the Al-non community for not being a true and professional addiction therapist. She does not focus on the addict's nature or see through their manipulation, but instead enables their behavior. As most of us know in the rooms of Al-non and the court rooms, reactive (to) abuse & domestic violence is real & common with dry & active addicts (who have not done the deep inner work). Be warned, she will tell her clients, it doesn't exist and victim shame the person they abuse. As far as what the other negative reviews said, the experience is the same. I do not recommend her.

I was directed to FocusOne through a hotline when I needed a substance abuse evaluation for a court case. I met Dr. Noll and talked to her about what I was looking for and my circumstances. She advised she just had a client for a similar issue and we set an appointment to do a formal evaluation. I paid the fee and met with her on eval. day where we talked for a little better than an hour. I liked her and I was delighted to find she was also a holistic therapist, which was ideal. She sent over a form to complete post session and advised that she would be in touch with me in reference to my evaluation. About a week later I reached out to Dr. Noll and could not reach her after a couple attempts on different days. I figured it was likely a matter of client volume until my lawyer contacted me. I had included his information in the form I received post session. It was my lawyer who advised Dr. Noll was calling for a whopping 14 sessions, to my surprise. I hadn't even heard from her not to mention the number of sessions seemed a bit excessive for someone who was racially profiled, pulled over for a broken spare mechanism and searched by dogs only to find a few joints, I digress. I finally heard from Dr. Noll the following day where she'd advised she'd talked to my lawyer and sent over my evaluation to my email. I did not mention the conversation with my lawyer instead I waited to read her eval. I NEVER received it. I thought about trying to obtain a refund as I felt like I'd been scammed. However, I acknowledge she did perform the service of sitting on the phone with me and asking several questions most of which where not based around marijuana which was why I reached out, alas, I'd already found another therapist. My last resort is to at least warn someone who may be seeking help and does not have $250 to lose. Doing whatever work necessary was never an issue for me, I would've liked to hear her findings in the evaluation she sent to my lawyer. I felt like I'd hired a team (lawyer and therapist) and one of my team members were working against me by leaving me out of the project details directly impacting me. PLEASE BEWARE, your experience may not be mine but I hope it helps when reading through reviews.

I dont know where to begin. I signed up with this treatment provider and was told she was good at what she does and has a PHD. Upon arrivial for my initial consultation she wanted an additional $15 for the visit on top of the fee on the paper and was 15 minutes late to the appointment and double booked me. I wouldnt reccomend her to anyone. Even the other business in the plaza complain about her being late to all her group classes and having large groups of people waiting.

this lady is a snake in the grass!!!!! BEWARE!!!!! she will take your money and schedule you drug test and private sessions that cost WAYYY!! more money than you ever discussed with her. I am completely disgusted with this place!!!!! SCAM ARTIST!!!

Terrible. Dishonest and unprofessional.
