Patrice Harris, LPC

Patrice Harris rebuilt her life after a sudden, painful separation that left her raising a two-year-old and reconsidering the dreams she had shared since college. That personal experience became the catalyst for a new direction - she returned to school, earned the training that led to her LPC credential, and committed herself to helping others find strength after loss and upheaval. LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, a credential signaling formal training and licensure in counseling.

For more than 20 years, Patrice has supported women navigating divorce, adults confronting life stage transitions, and people of all ages who are learning to recognize and trust their own strengths. She helps clients move from overwhelm toward clearer thinking by building a trusting, two-person working relationship that centers the client’s capacity for growth. Even when belief in change is faint, she starts by honoring clients’ resilience and then partners with them to reframe negative beliefs, identify resources, and address distorted thoughts that keep them stuck.

Sessions often include practical in-session exercises, references to research and relevant books, and careful linking of thought and belief patterns until progress is visible. Patrice approaches challenges with a hopeful, steady belief that, with collaborative effort and sound clinical methods, people can transform difficult experiences into learning and renewed purpose. She is based in Alabama and brings two decades of experience to her work with individuals and families.
