You know it's possible to have an intimate and very satisfying relationship but perhaps you just don't know how to get there. You've tried in the past and most likely have a history of relationships that, shall we say, were less than optimal. You're wondering what role you play in either making them work or fail and going forward you're committed not to repeat what you know doesn't work. I understand. Sometimes you've even felt a little crazy in conversations with your partner and have been made to feel guilty for wanting more. I know. Here's the truth. You're not crazy for wanting more. Let's learn what works to make it happen!

I believe that all people have strengths, and that no matter what they are struggling with, their strengths need to be used to find their solutions. Most people can find their own solutions, and may just need a trained professional in order to guide them towards options. It can be difficult to ask for help with personal issues, but it is also a sign of strength and can lead to positive changes.

My style is to build a relationship that generates a warmth and trust that generates open and honest discussion about what brings you to the office. Counseling can be intimidating and feel forced at times. This atmosphere is counterproductive to healthy progress. I will bring to you a vast experience of helping others, as well as a touch of my own recovery story. This is your time, and I will do everything I can to shed positive light into the troublesome areas of your life.

Grief and loss, suicide bereavement, crisis and trauma - this is where I can be of most help to you. Being a Compassionate Bereavement Care provider allows me to meet you where you are in your grief and help you be present to this human experience. Having lost a parent to suicide when I was seventeen and tragically losing an adult child, I can bring a special understanding to our time together. I have also been trained using the Human Givens Rewind Technique for trauma resolution. Together we can find a positive path toward your growth and well-being.

New Office Location: 8128 River Road Southport, NC 28461 Welcome to my page! My passion is working with seniors 55 and older and adolescents 6-17 who are facing life challenges.

I believe in being a safe place for clients, offering encouragement, a listening ear and a different perspective. My view is one of no judgment. I offer peace, caring, warmth, empathy, and understanding. My mission is to help my clients find further freedom, clarity and direction. I am motivated by the passion to help people discover more about their identities and fulfill their ultimate purposes. I believe in the holistic approach of mind, body, and spirit.

I believe that every human being has the potential to live a healthy, satisfying, and abundant life, aligned with his or her values. My intention is to create a safe, secure, and comfortable atmosphere where I will develop with you, my client, a warm, trusting, cooperative, and mutually respectful relationship. Then, within the context of that relationship, we will explore the pressures/conflicts you are experiencing; what you have learned, during your lifetime, about how to respond to life events; how your particular personality figures into your current concerns; how you feel about your current concerns; and how you express those feelings.

Let me help you take the journey within. Although a generalist, I have extensive experience and training in the treatment of pornography, cybersex and related addictions and helping significant others. I enjoy working with clients who want to better understand themselves. I am a good listener with natural empathy, providing a safe and peaceful environment for your journey of self exploration.

Feeling broken or overwhelmed? I understand. I've done much research on addiction, codependency & adult children from dysfunctional families. It is possible to overcome barriers to intimacy and learn why we repeat the same relationship mistakes over and over again in new relationships or why we choose unhealthy people. We can change and think differently. It takes effort and accountability, but there is help and hope. Learn from your past. Don't continue to be its victim and let the past determine your future. I work with mental health and all kinds of addictions (substances and behavioral). Let's talk. Live life!

My goal is to help you feel welcomed, safe, and unjudged. My passion is to assist you in learning to meet, manage, and move beyond difficult life challenges and gain optimal growth and belief in YOU. If you struggle with Relationships, Depression, Grief, Life Transitions, Trauma or Abuse, you have the power to heal. I am humbled by the human spirit. Therapy is a process of collaboration, mutual goal setting, awareness, trust and change. When you are hurting, reach out - help is there for you. I will offer support, guidance and steps to overcome life hurts.

Peter Nagel, LMFT is a highly skilled Clinical Psychotherapist with over 40 years of experience. You're probably wondering “How can Peter effectively help me?” I have attended 12,000 hours of training with that as my intention. Most people who are seeking help with their tangled feelings and puzzling thoughts want some specific answers to generalized questions. My goal is to help you remove obstacles that have kept you from solving your own problems. After you share your concerns and explain your points of view, our next objective is to determine what you would like to change to enhance your life. This constitutes a contract.

I am a North Carolina native who has dedicated my life to raising awareness for mental health/substance use issues and reducing the stigma around accessing treatment for both. For the past ten years, I have worked in a variety of community mental health agencies, serving the needs of individuals from all walks of life. My professional counseling experience includes individual and group counseling in a community mental health agency and a local Detention Center as well as crisis intervention in a community setting. I specialize in depressive & anxiety disorders as well as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and stress reactions.

Virtual Service Only. I provide services to adults presenting with a variety of concerns, including grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, adjustment, life & career direction, and relationship issues. I offer a holistic approach while being empathic and attuned to your needs. I will help you learn how to connect with yourself to foster a healthy self-relationship and develop awareness of your inner experience and internal compass for growth, healing, and direction. You will see how your emotional needs influence your behavior; gain insight of how your past is carrying with you; and what to do to overcome your challenges in the present.

Growth, change and healing are difficult. To heal, we must know ourselves and how we make meaning of events and situations. Ancestral psychotherapy may provide a gateway to find one's fit in the world. Through courage and bravery we may begin to understand our own life story. The journey through life has many mountains and valleys but I will walk with you as you try to make sense of your place in the world. Compassion and conversation will reveal some goals to work towards to help you or your family feel whole. I work with both individuals and families to grow, change and heal.

Your story is unique. Inviting someone to know, share and explore your story in order to illuminate truths both wonderful and difficult is the courageous work of therapy. My goal is encouragement, growth and freedom for you. Returning you to a healthy balance in thinking, feeling, behaving and relating will be the focus of our work. I welcome individuals struggling with life transition issues, anxiety and depression, emotion regulation difficulties, work/life satisfaction challenges and relational issues. Marriage/couples work is welcomed.

Any number of things can happen to throw us off track. Maybe you feel stuck because difficult things have happened in your life, you have experienced a loss or are going through a significant transition. Perhaps fears or anxieties overwhelm you. Or you are struggling in your relationship with your partner, longing to get back to feeling close again. Living like this is hard. With 20+ years experience, I am highly trained in many treatment modalities to help you cultivate what is best within yourself to enhance your experiences with love, friendships, work and play, no matter the age.
