Emotionally Focused Therapists in Yadkinville, NC

If you need help healing from painful past experiences or developing healthy relationships, I can help. I work with clients who have been harmed by past experiences, from prolonged childhood neglect or abuse to adult experiences that you are just having difficulty moving past. I also work with couples who are trying to work through conflict or grow closer. I help clients find calm and peace in their current lives, healing from past pain, a renewed sense of meaning, purpose, and identity. I will partner with you to discover where you are on the healing journey and develop a plan for moving you forward in healing and growth.

Loneliness is the worst. Isolation shows up in many forms, including shame, stress, mistrust, and unproductive conflict. People grow and heal in the context of secure relationships, and I aim to help clients create and sustain them. It's my pleasure to work with couples, partnerships and individuals who are experiencing distress, coping with trauma, or struggling with identity development.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and frustrated? Are you feeling "stuck" in a negative pattern in your relationship? Counseling can help in sorting out current struggles and developing and practicing new strategies to help cope with current emotions, relationships, and life situations. Counseling assists with healing and achieving goals you have for yourself and for your relationships. I have experience treating anxiety, depression, abuse/trauma, couple/family relationships, relationship struggles, work/life balance, separation/divorce, loss/grief, parenting, self-esteem, and self-injury.

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.)

Sometimes, we get stuck. A problem that may seem small at first just seems to get worse and before you know it, you have gotten lost in a dark place and can't figure out how to get out. As a therapist, I want to be a flashlight that can guide you through. It takes courage to reach out for help, and doing so shows you are ready to find your way back- or to a new, better place! I meet my clients with understanding, non-judgment, and collaboration. Whether it's depression, anxiety, relationship issues, or life transitions- you deserve to find peace, and I look forward to helping you meet your full potential and reach achievable goals.

I understand the strength it takes to start therapy and believe in meeting clients where they are. I am passionate about helping clients learn how to identify and tolerate difficult emotions, how to set individual and relationship boundaries, and how to grow toward self-acceptance. I create a space for clients to feel supported, heard, and empowered as they move toward healing and change. I am LGBTQIA+ and friendly and approach all clients with empathy and compassion.

Life can be so difficult and even more difficult to navigate emotionally. I have extensive experience in Christian counseling. I offer support with depression, anxiety, self-worth, self-harm, bi-polar disorder, grief and loss, communication, and relationship issues. I also specialize with clients with ADHD and ASD related issues. I complete assessments for ADHD through private pay, as needed. Using an emotionally focused couples therapy approach, I help find fulfillment in marriage through effective communication, boundaries and overcoming obstacle and applying Christian principles.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is the primary ingredient to successful therapy. I work hard to create a warm, trusting relationship with each client and go at their pace. I enjoy working with individuals (21+). Particular areas of interest for me include trauma healing, creating healthy attachment relationships, emotionally healthy spirituality (including deconstruction/reconstruction), body image, parenting support, and women's issues. I welcome and value people from all religious backgrounds, sexual orientations and ethnicities. I see clients from 9 a.m.- 1 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, both in-person and virtually.

Offering multiple discounted sliding scale slots to those who can't afford my rate. Educated, licensed, and in clinical practice since 2018 in the Bay Area, CA, I'm a licensed therapist (LMFTA) who recently moved my practice to Durham. Primarily trained in Gestalt therapy, as an integral therapist I also pull from IFS, Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, and other somatic, experiential, mindfulness-based modalities. Anxiety, depression, chronic illness, infertility, loss, explorations of identity, communication issues, deepening intimacy, and building trust are a few of the challenges that bring clients to me.

Accepting new clients. If you need strategies for improving communication and repairing damage in your relationship, if you need help improving family relationships and coping with a child's anxiety/big feelings, or if you want to create a plan for better family blending and coparenting, I am here to help. I specialize in teaching communication skills, repairing attachment, navigating betrayal, and teaching coping skills for anxiety in children and adults. I provide Discernment Counseling for couples considering divorce, and I am a facilitator for the Prepare/Enrich premarital program.

We all have different seasons in our lives where we may feel a pull or a need for change and growth. My hope is to help those on their individual journeys find a place that feels good for them and their families. I believe that everyone deserves to feel safe, heard and validated and thus I provide that in my therapy room, and help other family members develop that for one another.
