Patti Hatton, MA, LPC

Marriage Counseling with a Heart for Transformation

With over 40 years of marriage and a deep commitment to helping couples build fulfilling relationships, Patti has developed a unique counseling approach inspired by three guiding principles: to know God, to know yourself, and to love others. Her goal is to be a compassionate partner in your journey, helping you build a stronger, more resilient marriage by deepening your connection with both yourself and your spouse.

In your sessions, Patti will use insights from her book, Highway to the Heart, to guide your work. This structured, five-session approach focuses on essential aspects of a healthy marriage:

Building a Foundation of Faith and Love

We start by exploring your personal relationship with God as a foundation for personal and relational growth.

Healing Inner Wounds

Unresolved pain can impact how we love others. Together, we’ll identify and begin to heal any barriers holding you back.

Resolving Conflicts Effectively

We’ll learn constructive techniques to address disagreements in ways that strengthen, rather than strain, your relationship.

Deepening Emotional Connection

Emotional intimacy is key to a lasting marriage, and we’ll work on developing this through meaningful, honest connection.

Nurturing Emotional Intimacy and Shared Goals

Finally, we’ll explore how to align your life goals and deepen intimacy, helping your marriage thrive long-term.

As a counselor, Patti brings both professional expertise and a rich, personal understanding of married life. Her own journey of 42 years in marriage, raising two adult daughters, and enjoying life with three grandchildren gives Patti firsthand insight into the joys and challenges couples face.

Outside of counseling, Patti enjoys bible study, pickleball, Mah Jong, and spending quality time with family.

If you’re ready to move past obstacles and build a relationship rooted in love, faith, and connection, Patti would be honored to walk beside you on this journey. Together, we will work toward experiencing the full potential of your marriage.

Life Stage Adjustments

Life is a series of transitions, and adapting to new stages—whether it’s changing careers, entering retirement, becoming a parent, or facing unexpected challenges—can feel overwhelming. But the beauty of change is that it’s an opportunity for growth.

Patti can help you to cultivate a growth mindset, adjust expectations, stay flexible and embrace change, at any stage of life.
