About
As a queer woman of color, I bring both lived experience and clinical expertise to creating a safe, affirming, and culturally responsive space where you can feel seen, valued, and empowered to navigate life's challenges.
Hi, I'm a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) dedicated to providing compassionate, affirming, and evidence-based care. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, identity exploration, and self-esteem concerns. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for support and personal growth, I provide a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where we can work together to help you build resilience, gain insight, and create meaningful, lasting change.
My approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and tailored to your unique needs. I integrate CBT, DBT, solution-focused therapy, and person-centered techniques to help you build practical coping skills, strengthen emotional resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change. Together, we'll work at a pace that feels supportive and empowering.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. I believe healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and supported. If you're ready to invest in yourself and create meaningful change, I'd be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

My heart is to help others feel safe, understood, and empowered as they navigate healing and discover the resilience they already possess.
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.

Resetting means reconnecting with what truly matters, letting go of what no longer serves you, and intentionally aligning your actions with your values. I’m here to support and guide you through that journey.
I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. My approach is client-centered and collaborative. I create a safe, supportive environment for healing and growth. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Winston-Salem State University in 2007 and a Master's in Mental Health Counseling with a specialization in Behavioral Addictions from North Carolina A&T State University in 2012. Over 18 years, I've gained diverse experience across mental health settings. If you're facing a life shift, know you don't have to go through it alone. I'm here when you're ready to start.
Healing begins by reconnecting to what matters most. When facing pain or change, I help you slow down, listen inward, and release patterns that no longer serve you. I work with life transitions, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. My approach is collaborative. Healing happens when you feel safe and supported. We build strategies toward the life you want.
If you're ready to explore healing and growth, I'm here to walk alongside you with compassion. You don't navigate this alone. Your experiences deserve space to be held deeply with care and respect. When ready, please schedule an appointment. I look forward to supporting you as you move toward a life that feels more aligned, grounded, and authentically yours.

Breakup therapy from our Thriveworks Charlotte therapists helps people process the loss that comes with a breakup. In addition, it can help them to better understand what was wrong as well as what was right in their relationship so that they’re able to move forward.
Breakup therapy works by offering a safe space for people to explore the pain and changes that can accompany a breakup. It also works by equipping individuals with healthy coping mechanisms such as self-reflection and relaxation techniques to replace harmful (or maladaptive) coping mechanisms.
Breakup therapy from the therapists at Thriveworks in Charlotte, NC is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The amount of breakup therapy sessions will vary from one person to the next, depending on their specific needs. However, it typically lasts for several weeks or months.
Dealing with relationship breakups can be harsh and lonely. Even relatively amicable breakups can be difficult to go through. Whether a recent decision to breakup was one-sided or mutual, involved a short-term relationship or a long-term relationship, involved two mentally healthy persons or not, breaking up is one of the most emotional things we can experience—and it’s reasonable to need a little help processing that experience. Breakup counseling can help.
The more serious a relationship, the more difficult the fall out from the breakup. Cohabitation, children, length of relationship, general happiness level while in the relationship—all of these factors and more influence the way the breakup is handled by each partner. In fact, breakups are one of the many situations Thriveworks Charlotte counselors help people with all the time. Reach out today for breakup counseling and support.
All the worries discussed above may lead to the following symptoms that are noticeable in persons who have recently experienced a breakup:
Handling the complexity of these feelings alone can be overwhelming. Breakup counseling can help you gain a clearer perspective and develop a plan to manage your new life in a productive way.
A therapist experienced at breakup counseling will give you his or her undivided attention in order to help you overcome all physical and psychological challenges. If you are feeling lonely and emotionally disturbed, you can count on your therapist’s deep interest in your problems as he or she works hard to help you.
Consider your relationship therapist an understanding, compassionate person who knows exactly what you are going through and is willing to offer a helping hand until you achieve a full recovery. At Thriveworks Charlotte, our therapists know you can heal—and they can help.
Outlined below are some areas breakup counseling will help you strengthen as you move forward:
Breaking up is hard to do, but with counseling, that struggle can end with a happier, healthier you who is able to continue forward independently. Later, if you choose to, you’ll be able to enter another relationship in a healthy, engaged fashion. To get started, give Thriveworks Charlotte a call today. We don’t have a waiting list, and can usually get you in for your first appointment within the week. If you are struggling, there’s no need to wait any longer to seek help. We look forward to helping you become the best you can be.
