Couples therapy in Fayetteville, NC

I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) with over 15 years of experience working with children, teens, adults, families, and military/vets in need of mental health services. I am fully licensed in North Carolina.

My favorite clinical modality is solution-focused therapy (SFT). During your first session, we'll discuss what brought you to therapy and best ways to help you progress. SFT is a short-term, evidence-based approach focused on current circumstances and future hopes. The goal is to find solutions that put your mind at ease in ways you never dreamed possible.

You didn't choose this struggle, but you don't have to face it alone. With over 11 years as a counselor and a background spanning school counseling to rehabilitation, I help clients find strength and clarity in difficult moments. As a single mom and cancer survivor, I know how hard healing can be, and I'd be honored to help. Reach out when you're ready.

I am a licensed clinical social worker associate (LCSWA) with 10 years of experience in the mental health field. I work with adults and young adults navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use concerns, mood disorders, and major life transitions. I have experience supporting individuals with complex mental health diagnoses and am committed to providing compassionate, person-centered care that meets clients where they are.

I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Kentucky after completing my bachelor’s degree in psychology from Fayetteville State University. My clinical experience includes work in psychosocial rehabilitation and day treatment settings, where I utilized CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic, and person-centered approaches.

I believe meaningful change happens through collaboration, trust, and consistency. I strive to create a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you can explore challenges, build coping skills, and work toward improved mental health and overall well-being. I look forward to supporting you on your journey and invite you to schedule a session with me.

My name is Katie Patton and I am a North Carolina native, mom of three, and proud military spouse. I received my Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from East Carolina University in 2011 and my Master's in School Counseling with add-on licensure as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in 2019. I am also a National Certified Counselor (NCC). I provide counseling services to children, adolescents, adults, families, and groups, tailoring treatment to each individual's unique needs, strengths, and goals. I strive to provide a safe, compassionate, and collaborative environment where meaningful growth can occur.

Clients can expect a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where authenticity, curiosity, and collaboration are valued. My goal is to help clients move forward and learn a holistic way of healing to challenge unhelpful patterns, build confidence, strengthen relationships, and develop tools to navigate life's challenges with greater resilience and hope.

Taking the first step toward counseling can feel overwhelming, and you don't have to navigate it alone. Whether you're carrying the weight of past experiences or long for peace, you deserve a space where you feel heard and supported. Healing is possible, and I would be honored to walk alongside you. I invite you to reach out and schedule an appointment.

I have been in the "people business" both in corporate America and mental health counseling for a combination of over 20 years. I love working with Black and LGBTQ+ adults dealing with anxiety, stress, trauma, discrimination, racism, workplace/career issues, and relationships.  I also work with this population in couples therapy. As a Black therapist, I want my clients to feel a connection in our therapeutic relationship due to some similar life experiences.

My approach is person-centered because I believe the client is the expert about their lives. In couples counseling, I feel love and conflict often go hand in hand. Sometimes having some outside help allows you to see things clearer and get unstuck in the relationship. The first step to seek counseling is courage! 

We carry more than we realize. You don't have to have to face life's challenges alone. My goal is to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can show up to  explore your feelings, and feel supported every step of the way. Together, we can work toward creating the life and relationships you deserve.

I am a therapist with a Bachelor's degree in Social Work and a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with 10 years experience. I work with individuals, couples and families. I particularly have a passion for supporting girls and women as they navigate the unique challenges, expectations, and realities they face in society. I strive to create a warm and culturally sensitive environment where every client feels valued, supported, and heard as they work toward healing and growth.

My approach combines Person Centered Therapy (PCT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution - Focused Brief Therapy, (SFBT), Narrative Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients feel understood, recognize counterproductive patterns, build on their strengths, and create meaningful change. I support and work with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorders, grief and loss, life transitions, self esteem issues, Infidelity, and relationship and family difficulties. I believe that healing begins with feeling heard and understood and I tailor our work to your specific needs, helping you develop practical coping skills, rediscover your strengths and build a healthier relationship with yourself and others.

My goal is to help you feel seen, heard, understood and empowered, not merely to manage life's difficulties but to also discover new ways of understanding yourself, navigating challenges, and moving toward the life you desire.
