Human development and thriving can be difficult in this lifetime. I am here to be of help. The struggle may be an old or recent Trauma that sticks out in your heart and mind. Maybe it's the neurodivergent attributes of yourself you haven't quite understood. It could be you've been diagnosed with ADHD at a young age and never learned anything about it or how to take care of it other than taking medication - or worse, thinking that you were inadequate. It's possibly the navigation of unclear waters around your own psyche. May we create clear pathways together! Goals specific to your needs and where we evaluate progress every 3 months.

I believe growth occurs when we courageously stay along the edges of our comfort zone and gently press into that boundary widening it inch by inch. I believe healing occurs when we fully allow ourselves to feel our pain, to sit with it, to befriend it, and to find out that it has edges and boundaries ... a beginning and an end. If you've been struggling what has happened and is happening in your life and the world around you, we can work together to identify what is preventing you from finding peace and ease in your mind and body and work to increase capacity and move in the direction of optimal healing and wellness.

Life is often full of unexpected twists, turns, and bumps that can leave us feeling uncertain about how to feel or move forward. Although it can seem dauting to take the steps to talk about these challenges, therapy can be an extremely rewarding tool to support validating your experiences and compassionately continuing that journey. My approach to therapy is that it involves understanding how our past impacts current feelings, behaviors, and patterns through a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship that supports positive change and healing. I also believe therapy needs to utilize humor and I enjoy having my dog join in as well.

My passion lies in working with individuals who have experienced complex trauma and those currently living with eating disorders or disordered eating. It is my goal to help my clients no longer feel alone, and to move from a place of shame and guilt to one of believing and knowing that all of their parts are good.

As a therapist I feel it's important to have a collaborative therapeutic relationship in which the client is empowered to achieve healing and growth to all areas of their life. Built on trust, safety, and authenticity (and a bit of humor), I strive for a client-centered approach that fits the unique needs of each client.

Hi there! My name is Justin and for two decades I have been working in the mental health field with 9 years as a fully licensed therapist. I believe that genuine connection is at the heart of the healing process and personal growth. When we feel truly connected and understood we feel confident to embrace challenges and make meaningful changes in our lives. When we are stuck, it can feel hopeless and impossible to break the cycles. Through a supportive and collaborative working relationship we can approach problems with flexible and creative problem solving to help build a new path.

Hey- I'm Page Graham a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina, Utah, and Georgia; I am also a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist in NC. As a neurodivergent therapist, I have a very direct, honest, informational approach that aims to develop a genuine and collaborative partnership with my clients to reach their identified goals. I am more casual than some when it comes to my communication style- I blend coaching and therapy most of the time. While I can easily transition into "clinical mode" using words and phrases specific to the therapeutic world, I prefer not to.

I enjoy working with clients who actively participate in their therapy. It is important to be ready to enter into therapy. The focus of therapy is on you not the others in your life - for after all you cannot change other people but rather the only person you can change is yourself. I can help you make the changes you want to make. Want to survive a trauma, stay sober, lose weight, interact better with others, recover from a loss, examine a troubled intimacy? This is what I do.

I work with Individuals and couples of all ages and backgrounds. Whether you are wanting to overcome an addiction, have a chronic illness, just found out you may be autistic or need someone to listen and understand your grief. We can talk through it. You are not alone.

I work with people navigating major life transitions, from preparing for parenthood and adjusting to postpartum life, to starting college, entering the workforce, moving away from home, or learning to set healthy boundaries. Clients may be experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, identity shifts, or challenges with communication and coping. I also support individuals managing the emotional challenges that can come with infant feeding. Most people come to therapy looking for understanding, guidance, and support to feel more grounded, confident, and capable as they move through change.

I see life as a journey. Sometimes we get in a rut and have difficulty getting out, or sometimes we think we are on the right road and things turn out differently than expected, leaving us devastated and not knowing how or what to change. At times, we are unaware of our repeated patterns or how early life experiences have affected us. We usually do the best we can with what skills we have. Sometimes, we have to change our unhelpful coping skills and develop strategies and skills that will help us be happier and more functional people. Life is a journey, let's take it one step at a time.

You've been carrying something heavy. Maybe it's addiction, or watching someone you love struggle with it. Maybe it's a relationship that feels stuck, grief you can't shake, or anxiety that just won't let up. Perhaps you're facing a major transition: an empty nest, aging parents, a career that no longer fits. You're done white-knuckling it alone. I work with adults, couples, LGBTQ+ individuals, first responders, and educators who are ready to build real skills, not just talk, and start living the life they actually want.

I am excited to get to know you! I am counselor licensed in South Carolina (LPC) and North Carolina (LCMHC). I have been in the mental health field for 10 years. I became a counselor based on the realization that individuals carry knowledge and beliefs about themselves that, at times and for various reasons, they are unable to access. My belief is that through the counseling process, including empowerment and authenticity, clients may increase self-awareness and insight, and experience peace.
