I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of North Carolina with over 37 years of experience working as a therapist. I have helped clients with depression, anxiety, ADHD, Autism, grief/loss, parenting concerns, relationship challenges, addictions, trauma, abuse, Bipolar, adjustment issues, crisis and an array of mental health disorders. I have worked with families and clients of all ages. Furthermore, I have worked in the field of social work and mental health assisting individuals and families by aiding in identifying their needs and connecting them with community agencies and resources. I believe in treating everyone with respect and dignity but most importantly I pride myself on demonstrating compassion for all and being sensitive to the needs of others. I believe that it is important t identify your strengths and build around them.
My counseling style is very empathetic, mindful and client-centered, yet direct and straight forward. It takes a great deal of courage to seek professional help and even more courage to implement change. However, if you are ready to take the next steps to begin living a more fulfilling and self-empowered lifestyle, I’d love to help guide you along the way.
I look forward to working with you.

Ms. Patterson has been very professional and compassionate. It was definitely a plus that she has also gone through the process of losing her spouse. This has given her an even deeper level of empathy towards me as I go through my own process of bereavement.
