Cindy Patterson, LMFT

I'm Cindy, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving adults across Tennessee. I believe many of the ways we learn to cope, adapt, and move through life make sense in the context of our stories. I also recognize that people experience and process the world in different ways. My hope is that therapy offers a place to explore what’s important to you while honoring the experiences that have shaped you.
