Tired of feeling stuck, misunderstood, & disconnected? You find yourself struggling with communication. The arguments, misunderstanding, and hurt are overwhelming. It feels like your relationship is moving in the wrong direction, and the conflict in your relationship is really getting old. You feel alone. You may even be considering separation or divorce. Take the first step to sort through all of it: the misunderstanding, the arguments, the hurt, the disconnection, the downward spiral, and loneliness. I can help you gain clarity to move toward healing in your relationship. Let me help you experience your relationship in a new way.

Special interests of mine include grief and loss therapy, trauma-focused therapy and LGBTQ+ issues. Please consider therapy with me to be a safe place for all ages, identities, sexualities, religions, races, and socioeconomic statuses. I will make every effort to use my education, experience, and genuine care for you to help move you through difficult times, past or present.

It can be so painful to feel as if you are not truly seen or understood. You want to feel deep connection in your relationship, and you want to thrive in it as your authentic self, but conflict ends up unraveling all of that. Instead, you find yourself feeling disconnected, frustrated, confused, and alone. When arguments happen, it can be so difficult to put into words what is happening for you in the moment, and the disconnection feels overwhelming. Not only do you want to find healing and meaningful connection in your relationship, but you also want to come alive as a vital part in it.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate. I received her bachelor’s degree in Psychology from North Carolina A&T. I furthered my education receiving a MA in Marriage & Family Therapy from Capella. I'm committed to treating couples, families, and individuals. My clinical interest include working with premarital couples, communication issues, infidelity, grief, sexual assault, and addiction. I strongly believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the biggest indicators of change, which is why I strive to create a safe, warm space in which clients feel seen and heard.

Our independently contracted therapists enjoy working with couples, adults, teens and children.

Currently accepting new clients for daytime appointments (10 AM - 2 PM virtual or in person). I believe that everyone is unique and has their own distinctive journey. You can expect treatment with me to be person-centered and non-judgmental. I feel treating the person as a whole is important and look at all aspects of life and how they intermingle. I work form a biopsychosocial perspective and pull from multiple modalities of treatment to utilize a therapeutic approach tailored specifically for each client and their unique needs.

Each potential client is different and brings different values and challenges to therapy. The goals, needs, or issues of every single person are just as important to me as my own, therefore I approach each client using a client-centered or Person-Centered Approach to ensure I am putting the needs of my clients before my own. My goal as a client-centered therapist is to prioritize the well-being of the individuals I serve and who place their trust in me as a licensed counselor.

I'm Sarah Olson, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have the privilege of walking with people during difficult moments in their lives. I believe there is nothing that life can hand you that cannot make you a better person once you do the work and get to the other side of it. I want to discover this with you. Coming to me as a therapist would feel like exploring your honest feelings and experiences with a non-judgmental friend that can really hear you. I want to gain your trust so we can talk about what truly is stopping you from being your best self.

Anxiety, trauma, addiction, depression...these things are universal forces that touch each of us in some way. No matter how they present themselves, two things are certain. First, that none of us is meant to face them alone and second, that none of them need be a life sentence. Each of us goes through pain and suffering relationally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Each of us deserves someone who will walk with us as we heal.

Hello! My passion is working with clients to help them reach their goals of self-love, acceptance, and establishing a life that they love - which looks different for everyone! We will first work to build our therapeutic alliance, then begin to identify and explore cyclical behaviors, patterns, and past experiences that are currently impacting your life. Through the practice of unconditional positive regard, you are completely accepted for wherever you are emotionally - whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, impulsivity, self-esteem, and more. Allow me to meet you where you are and walk alongside you in healing.

I invite you to a safe and compassionate space to untangle and release difficulties that interfere with your quality or functioning in life. Taking a look at hurts can help normalize and clarify confusing or negative behavior, thoughts, and emotions to integrate past experiences. Embodiment, mindfulness, and somatic experiential practices lead you to gain physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health. These practical techniques, along with education, and therapeutic processing will guide you along your path to integrated health and the resilience needed to manage the most stressful circumstances. You become your own best friend.

Hello! I'm Melissa, the Counselor who works in the Goldsboro office of Clark Christian Counseling!
