Lenwood Patterson

I am a compassionate and experienced therapist dedicated to helping individuals and couples navigate trauma, substance use, anxiety, identity, and life transitions with authenticity and healing at the center

Welcome—I'm so glad you're here.

My name is LV Patterson, and I’m a licensed therapist with a deep passion for helping individuals and couples heal, grow, and reconnect with their true selves. I specialize in working with people who have experienced trauma, are navigating substance use recovery, facing anxiety or depression, or exploring their identities—especially within LGBTQIA+ and culturally diverse communities.

As a Black, gay therapist with lived experience, I understand what it means to move through life carrying the weight of being unseen, unheard, or misunderstood. Therapy with me is not about fixing you—because you are not broken. It’s about creating a safe, supportive, and affirming space where we can unpack the hard stuff together. We’ll work to challenge shame, build resilience, and empower you to take up space fully and unapologetically.

Clients often describe me as warm, down-to-earth, and honest. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in compassion. Whether you're starting therapy for the first time or returning to the work, I’ll meet you where you are—without judgment and with genuine care.

At LV Patterson, LLC, I offer individual and couples therapy, with flexible options through SimplePractice and Headway for online booking, scheduling, and billing. You deserve to be seen, heard, and supported—and I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey.

Let’s begin the healing process together.
