WELCOME TO AUTHENTICITY ARCHITECTS

If you are feeling anxious, stressed, overwhelmed, depressed, hopeless, helpless, and/or sad it can be hard to reach out to anyone. I am so glad you made it to my website. I am here to help you find your joy again.

If you are grieving the loss of someone or something you love, I can help you navigate the painful task of grief. You can’t go around grief, you have to go through it. I can be an enlightened witness for you through the pain.

If you are a mother feeling overwhelmed with the multitude of tasks and responsibilities, I can help you learn how to better mother yourself and your child(ren).

After 35+ years of working with individuals, couples and families struggling with life’s challenges, I have created a unique psychotherapy approach called Authenticity Architecture, helping you thrive, not merely survive.

“Thank you for showing me that I don’t have to live life stressed and pleasing people, and that I can do what I want with my life and it’s okay. Stopping the impossible people pleasing cycle and saying ‘you are exactly where you need to be’ and giving myself a lot of grace. I am a much stronger woman because of you.” Kate, photographer and mother of two elementary age children

“It’s not overkill to say: I would not be where I am today without you. You encouraged me not to settle for a job that I didn’t really want, and instead just do what I love! Freeing myself to just be an activist and trust in the universe was all your influence, and I am deeply grateful. You taught me how to hold some badass boundaries. People expect women to say ‘yes’ even when we want to say ‘no’, because we always have. Not on Patti’s watch!” Rachel, activist and mother of three teenagers

Letters to Freedom: From Fear, to Love, to Grace

“This memoir is unusually powerful. Even if you didn’t know Laurence, his journey will not only inspire you: it has the capacity to impel you, accelerating you on your path of unfoldment.” Dr. Roger Teal, author of This Life is Joy

“Patti shares her raw journey through love and grief in a way that only a true spiritual seeker can do. Her blend of psychology and spirituality makes this book a resource for anyone finding their way through loss and heartbreak.” Sue Frederick, author of Bridges to Heaven

“Her writing is beautiful, and the style is reminiscent of Jeanette Walls.” Dr. Marcy Cooper, MD.

“Patti Ashley offers tender, comforting and compassionate understanding of the deep life-changing grief that sometimes follows a deep life-changing loving relationship. And most important of all, she gives us reason to continue loving with our whole heart.” Sandra Felt, LCSW, and author of Beyond the Good-Girl Jail

“A love story that makes your heart sing while also feeling the insufferable pain of loss. Her honesty and courageous willingness to share raw, uncensored emotions while grieving has created this remarkable tribute to the human spirit.” Donna V. Remmert, author of The Littlest Big Kid, The Jitterbug Girl, & Head Over Heals
