Mental health counseling that works.

Meet Patty Fiore, LMFT

We all need support sometimes, and taking that first step can be the hardest part. My role is to offer you a safe, non-judgmental space to find clarity and work through whatever brought you here. I’ve practiced as a psychotherapist since 2005, walking alongside clients through depression, anxiety, PTSD, grief and loss, performance anxiety, low self-esteem, and the major life transitions that can leave us feeling stuck or overwhelmed. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), a leading evidence-based treatment for trauma, and use it to help clients finally find relief from painful memories.

I also work closely with couples and families who want to strengthen their relationships and reconnect. I believe communication is the cornerstone of every healthy relationship, and I help partners move through trust and intimacy issues, infidelity, addiction, financial stress, cultural differences, and parenting disagreements. Whether your goal is to rebuild your relationship or find a healthier way to part, we’ll find the right next step together.

My mission is to help you reach your fullest potential and your optimal well-being. Rather than fitting you into a single model, I work from an integrative approach, drawing on a range of proven methods and tailoring them to what you need. Above all, my aim is to help you connect with your own inner strength and find lasting relief.
