Appointments available, no waitlist! Couples are my specialty. Is my partner there for me? You may feel isolated, abandoned, powerless, and hopeless in your relationship. But good news - I help couples develop warmth, the feeling that “I am lovable and he/she loves me,” that “I can count on them, and I matter to them.” I'm trained in Gottman couples therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy, two of the most effective methods out there today. I also offer the Gottman workshop, “The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work.” It’s for any couple, married/traditional or not. (See FrancesPattonTherapy.co.)

A therapist who hasn't been trained specifically in couples can waste your time, money, and hope. I have that training. I also get it because I've been there, and I've found healing. My passion is to help you develop security together, to turn toward each other, and answer Yes!! to the question, "Are you there for me?" You matter, and you deserve closeness.
Check out my website (FrancesPattonTherapy.co) for much more information and to sign up for my newsletter, which is full of wonderful ideas to help you grow closer. Individuals and families are very welcome as well. Give me a call, and let's get started on helping you get better!
