Welcome to Purpose Counseling! My name is Alison Patton and I am A Licensed Professional Counselor and a Nationally Certified Counselor.
Hearing and holding your pain is a sacred privilege I do not take lightly. My aim is to create a safe place of compassion where you feel free to explore any issues you might be facing. I am married with three adult children and I know that while life can be full of great blessings, it can also be a journey full of ups and downs, detours and potholes.
My style is casual, engaging, and approachable because trust between a client and therapist is built through genuine interactions, honesty, and transparency. I utilize the best-researched therapy techniques to help achieve lasting, positive change and have experience working with individuals, couples, and groups. I am a board certified counselor (NCC), trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, and certified in Level 2 Gottman Couples Therapy.
FAITH
I like to incorporate faith into our sessions as I believe that full healing doesn’t occur unless we bring our spiritual lives into the process. I am a Christian and address faith-based counseling from this viewpoint. But therapy should always be client-driven so how deeply we go into faith all depends on you and what you would like. You can be sure that I will honor wherever you are in your spiritual journey.
