About

Give yourself some grace! The journey to health and healing may be difficult. I would like to walk beside you while you explore, YOU!
My name is Lanita Sunshine Patterson. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Professional Addiction Counselor (LAC) and certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (AADC). I have experience working with anxiety, depression, life transitions, behavioral challenges, substance abuse, and self-esteem.
Various treatment modalities are utilized to meet the unique needs of everyone and to create a lifestyle of mental, spiritual, emotional and physical health and wellness including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Enhancement Therapy (MET), Solution Focus (SF) and Client Centered Therapy (CCT).
I believe in being authentic, transparent and using person-centered approaches in treatment. My passion is to empower individuals to cope with everyday stress, identify triggers, challenge negative self-talk and live a life of intention and grace. I strive to ensure each life I touch feels respected, validated and challenged to live the life they desire.

I look forward to walking through this journey with you.

If you need a session time that is not listed, leave a message and let's see if we can work it out. ;-)

Warm regards,
Lanita Sunshine Patterson, MA, LPC, LAC, AADC
