About
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.

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 provide counseling services to children, adolescents, adults, families, and groups, tailoring treatment to each individual's unique needs, strengths, and goals.

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.

When Saturday Night Live’s writer and cast member, Pete Davidson, was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), he used the opportunity to raise awareness. On the show’s segment, Weekend Update, Pete was interviewed about the challenges that BPD has introduced into his life and about how much therapy has helped him. He was honest and vulnerable and (of course!) funny. Pete encouraged the audience, “first of all, if you think you’re depressed, see a doctor and talk to them about medication, and also be healthy. Eating right and exercise can make a huge difference. And finally, if you are in the cast of a late-night comedy show, it might help, if they, ya know, do more of your sketches.” Having sketches performed on SNL is advice that probably will not help most people, but seeking help likely encouraged many people. Between 1 and 2 percent of adults in the United States have been diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder, and they understand the instability that BPD can cause. Balance, however, may be restored through therapy. Many people who seek help for BPD have found the support they needed to regain equilibrium in their lives.

A quick look at these signs and symptoms shows the harm that BPD can cause to an individual’s life. Unfortunately, Borderline Personality Disorder can also increase an individual’s risk for other challenges, such as eating disorders, depression, addiction, self-harm, and substance abuse.
Mental health professionals are not entirely sure why some people develop Borderline Personality Disorder, but others do not. Almost 2 percent of people in the United States are suffering from BPD, and certain circumstances may raise people’s risk for developing it, risk factors like…
The instability that BPD can bring into an individual’s life can be destructive, but it can also be mitigated.
