Teletherapy for 27608

Often our hurtful experiences are out of our control. You didn’t choose to live with pain & society makes it hard to heal. You are tired of feeling alone and misunderstood. The reality is our experiences and memories can shape our beliefs and worldviews, creating guilt, anxiety, shame, anger, and isolation. Living with chronic pain, illness, trauma, anxiety, and grief – does impact us. Even if you don’t feel like it at this very moment, there is part of you that knows they deserve something more, whether it’s self-compassion, healthy connections, pleasure, joy, or the chance to move from surviving to thriving. Let's get curious.

There is a path to Hope and Healing for you or someone you love. Allow me to assist in that journey for those of you who are struggling. Whether you are facing the impact of depression, anxiety, stressful times, anger and resentment, grief and loss, parenting challenges, divorce recovery, communication difficulties or just life adjustment issues, consider investing in your recovery by entering into therapy. Whether you are an adult, adolescent, or child, I will walk down that path along side of you in order for you to experience positive change and healing.

I work with women across the lifespan with a primary focus in those who are trying to conceive, pregnant, adjusting to motherhood, as well as women navigating being in the "sandwich" generation. Additionally, I focus on supporting individuals with OCD. My experience of over 14 years has afforded me the opportunity to work with individuals with depression, anxiety, OCD, trauma, grief, life transitions, and relationship issues. I have advanced training in addressing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders as well as training in Exposure Response Prevention for OCD.

My website - www.taylorhouchens.com - I specialize in working with boys, teenagers, men, women, and families. If this is you, it is my goal to help you overcome the barriers and problems in your life that are keeping you from experiencing the freedom you are desiring. Often times, these problems are the result of trauma from childhood that is still unresolved. Perhaps you're experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, sexual abuse, PTSD, addiction (sexual, drug/alcohol, work), lack of self confidence, family issues, relationship difficulties, negative coping habits, physical or auto-immune disorders, or more. If so, I can help.

You're constantly fighting those racing thoughts and questioning yourself. You notice your confidence is low which gets in the way of your relationships or responsibilities. You struggle with memories of the past or worries about the future. You wonder what others may be thinking about you or how to approach someone new to develop relationships. Your mind may be on an endless loop and intrusive thoughts may lead to feelings of fear. You find that you've lost pieces of yourself and don't fully know who you are or what you want. You realize that maybe it is time to seek help, maybe change is what you need. I'm here to help!

Do the fights with your partner follow the same pattern? Does one of you get loud and angry while the other withdraws and goes silent? Has a painful experience or betrayal such as infidelity, loss, or trauma left you both feeling alone and shaken? You long for a playful and loving connection and I can help you get there. I help highly motivated clients like you learn to love themselves and each other again. I'm successful at what I do, and right now you need an expert. There is hope for your relationship.

Change can be difficult for many people but wanting to feel better is a start. I believe that challenges lead to growth and an opportunity to live a more fulfilling life. Common reasons for seeking therapy include difficulty adjusting to life changes and transitions, dissatisfaction in significant relationships, coping with traumatic life experiences, and difficulty managing feelings. I work with individuals and groups to lessen the impact of trauma; develop healthy boundaries and coping skills; improve relationships and communication skills; and increase self-esteem/self-acceptance.

My goal as a therapist is to help clients reach their full individual potential. We often confront challenges in life that prevent us from being our best selves and impede our success. I facilitate exploration of these obstacles and help clients harness their strengths in order to overcome them. I work to help clients become more self-aware, resolve past and present conflicts, enhance interpersonal relationships and achieve lasting well-being.

Thank you for visiting my page. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has been in practice for over 15 years. My aim is to guide and support clients in gaining powerful insights, growing in self-awareness, cultivating a deeper connection to themselves and others, and ultimately, moving toward lasting change. My therapeutic approach is psychodynamically oriented and strengths-based. I believe that our past deeply informs our present. As such, examining and unpacking the foundational experiences and relationships in our lives often aids in unlocking the consciousness needed to live more authentically and fully.

Welcome, looking for someone that is warm, direct and knowledgeable. You found it! I obtained my MSW in 2013, from Rhode Island College. Following my graduation, I worked at a Psychiatric Residential Facility where I learned the benefits of ACT, CBT, TF-CBT and DBT modalities. In 2015, I moved to Mecklenburg County Public Health, where I worked alongside CMPD providing therapeutic support to families that experienced acute and prolonged trauma exposure. During my tenure in Public Health Department, I honed my skills in somatic approach, such as EMDR and Brainspotting, to help the individual improve their mental health.
