Shirley Patterson, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
With compassion and listening, I will work with you to identify your underlying issues, help you to clarify your beliefs, and help you to release limiting beliefs and behavioral patterns. My services bring comfort and peace of mind, and I feel blessed to be here to work with client’s and families on their journey to achieve their fullest potential.
Helping individuals to change their behavior patterns through a conscious and unconscious emotional investment is the specialty of mine. I am acutely aware that changing behavior patterns can happen more quickly when an individual's conscious and sub-conscious personalities are aligned and working together.
