Jamie Pattee, LMFT

Welcome, I’m Jamie, the founder and creator of Authentic connections therapy center.

I began my career as a therapist in 2013, after teaching for eight years in the Paradise Valley Unified School District. During my career as a therapist, I spent time in the community mental health setting and also in a group private practice.

I am always striving to honor my own authenticity and am dedicated to learning and expanding my knowledge. This passion has allowed me to build a foundation of certifications and trainings including:

• Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an approach I often use with my clients. With EFT, I strive to rebuild emotional connections and facilitate open and honest communication.

• Level one training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Phase One training in Brainspotting therapy, both are evidenced- based treatments for trauma.

I focus on supporting individuals, families, and couples on a variety of issues, communication, family and relationship conflict, anger, anxiety, motherhood, parenting skills, and self-esteem. I also have experience in working with the LGBTQIA+ community and identify as an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist. My past experiences and expertise support me in cultivating a healing space for all.
