Kelly L. Patton M.S., LMHC

I earned my master’s degree in Marriage and Family therapy
from Indiana State University’s AAMFT (American Association
for Marriage and Family Therapists) accredited program in
1987. I was licensed as a mental health counselor in Florida in
1992, and in Indiana in 1998.  In 1998, I received certification
as an Imago Relationship Therapist. Having recently returned
to Florida, I am
again licensed here. I have over 20 years of
professional experience and more than 40 years of life
experience, which has been my greatest teacher.

I have worked with an incredibly diverse population including being a therapist for adjudicated
adolescents in residential and out-patient settings. I have worked with adolescents and their
families in a alcohol and drug treatment program, and provided individual, family, relationship,
and group therapy in a community out-patient mental health program. After becoming licensed
and more seasoned, I went in to private practice where I specialized in working with relationship
issues and individual counseling. It has been a privilege for me to be able to work with gay,
lesbian, bisexual and straight  couples,helping them deepen and strengthen their
relationships. In 1993 I was introduced to the Imago Therapy model, designed specifically for
relationship issues. That training changed my life and my practice dramatically!
The tools I
teach are effective and practically ‘fail proof’ and they are applicable in most
relationship settings!

Personal growth is one of my favorite avenues. I enjoy working with people who are really
interested in bringing forth their best selves
…. evolving into their highest levels of
functioning possible.
