About me
If you're reaching out to a therapist, you're needing something better in your relationship. You're not willing to go on the way things are, and you have the hope and determination that things can and must change. You need someone who can help you achieve that change. You don't need someone who will just tell you what you want to hear, or who will listen but not know what to do. You need someone who has the ability to get you to that better place in your life.
I have the training, compassion, and experience to help you get there. I'm trained in Gottman Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. These are two of the best-researched, most effective couples therapy methods out there, and I have seen beautiful results in my clients. I'm always amazed at the power that these methods have in many couples' lives.
I've also been there. I know what depression feels like, and I've struggled with a difficult marriage and divorce. I've been to therapy myself, learned a lot, done the work, and have gotten to my own better place. My passion and my reason for becoming a therapist is to help others benefit from what I've learned. My training has given me the skills to do that. I won't judge you, and you won't hear, "Well, just get over it!" from me.
If you want Christian counseling, let me know. If you prefer non-religious therapy, I am comfortable with that as well. Either way, you will have my full attention and my best effort.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Frances Patton. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
Frances is a good listener and offers thoughtful advice. My partner and I found that working with her helped us connect more deeply and gave us tools to communicate more harmoniously. Highly recommended!
Ms. Patton has remarkable concern and empathy. She is also very ethical. It was a privilege to have her as a therapist.
Frances Patton has helped me in so many aspects of my life is such a short time. Im an impulsive person with quick change mentality. She is helping me break that cycle and be a better me for my wife and family. For that I am eternally gateful.
Frances is so helpful, caring and considerate. She has really helped us improve our communication with one and other. We both enjoy speaking with her, and we both feel very heard and understood in all of our sessions.
She is so kind and she has a gentle way of getting people to open up while being professional at the same time
Frances has been working with us for quite some time and yet every week feels special. She really makes us feel safe and comfortable and we have learned and grown so much since we have started working with her. Every session helps me better understand myself and my partner and makes me feel much more connected again to myself and my partner. It isn’t always easy but Frances is VERY patient and allows us to take the time we need. We never feel rushed or judged by her - but we do feel seen and heard. I am so thankful for Frances and Regain!
Frances has been wonderful in the past two months my husband and I have been seeing her. She’s a great listener and super chill
Frances was exactly what was needed!! Professional and polite, with such understanding and insight to share! Thank you so much, Ms. Frances! We appreciate you and all of your help
Frances is great and always accommodates my schedule to meet for therapy.
Frances was very helpful. She listened and was able to provide helpful feedback and ways to react to situations. I benefited from our conversations.
I recommend Frances to everyone. My husband and I have only participated in 2 sessions so far and can feel a big difference in our ability to connect our past trauma with our current-day conflicts—what a sign of relief.
Frances is lovely, she is a great listener and we always feel comfortable opening up to her. She is very respectful and offers helpful tips to us both.
I am very thankful for Frances. She is able to listen to both my husband and me, and is able to help us to see each others’ perspective. She has helped us navigate some tough terrain in our marriage and has never once made us feel like we were facing an impossible task. We are so grateful we have taken this step. The ReGain platform works wonderfully for our schedule. 45 minutes in the comfort of our home-no childcare and no awkward car rides home.
Frances is very respectful and attentive, she has been able to understand root issues and connect patterns and cycles that help in identifying issues. I fee comfortable speaking with her which is very important.
