Flourish Wellness: Therapy, Coaching, & Consulting

Meet Our Founder & Director Patricia Locklear McGlothlin, MA, NCC, LMHC If you are looking for a therapist who is both deeply compassionate and exceptionally trained, you are in the right place. Patricia Locklear McGlothlin is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida, founder of Flourish Wellness, doctoral candidate in Counselor Education and Supervision, and former Assistant Professor of graduate counseling students at Liberty University. She graduated summa cum laude with a BA in Psychology from the University of North Florida and earned her Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with high distinction. She now mentors and supervises emerging clinicians while continuing advanced doctoral research focused on marriage, divorce, and relational mental health. Patricia does not approach therapy casually. She approaches it as a sacred responsibility. Who She Works With: Patricia specializes in working with five core groups: - High-achieving women who look successful on the outside but feel overwhelmed, anxious, burned out, or emotionally exhausted behind the scenes. Women navigating identity shifts, motherhood, career growth, boundaries, or betrayal. - Couples on the brink who are tired of repeating the same fights and want real tools to rebuild trust, safety, and emotional connection. - Individuals healing from trauma or narcissistic abuse who are ready to untangle attachment wounds, self-doubt, and survival-based coping patterns. - High-functioning professionals and entrepreneurs managing stress, leadership pressure, decision fatigue, and relationship strain. - Young adults and adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, or disordered patterns who want practical skills and deep healing, not just surface advice. If you feel strong and capable but secretly exhausted, disconnected, or stuck, Patricia understands that paradox intimately. Clinical Expertise & Training: Patricia is extensively trained in evidence-based and attachment-informed modalities, including: - Gottman Method Couples Therapy - Emotionally Focused Therapy - EMDR for trauma processing - Internal Family Systems - Attachment-based therapy - CBT and REBT - Somatic and nervous system regulation techniques - Mindfulness and breathwork - Narrative and expressive arts therapies: Her approach integrates trauma science, relational neurobiology, and practical skill-building. She helps clients understand not only what is happening, but why it is happening in their nervous system and attachment patterns. For couples, she specializes in trust repair, betrayal recovery, communication breakdown, intimacy rebuilding, and transitioning from reactive conflict to secure partnership. For women and high achievers, she focuses on burnout recovery, boundaries, identity differentiation, nervous system regulation, and restoring emotional clarity. For trauma survivors, she provides structured, paced EMDR work that helps clients process what happened without becoming overwhelmed. A Personalized, Strategic Approach: Patricia’s style is warm, direct, and collaborative. She blends deep emotional work with practical strategy. Clients often describe feeling both profoundly seen and gently challenged toward growth. She does not believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Every session is tailored to your personality, history, faith framework if desired, and goals. For those who request it, she offers Christian-integrated counseling while remaining deeply respectful of diverse worldviews and cultural backgrounds. Beyond the Therapy Room: Patricia lives what she teaches about vitality and wholeness. She values adventure, movement, creativity, and connection. Whether paddle-boarding, painting, horseback riding, or spending time with loved ones, she believes growth happens both in reflection and in living fully.
