Adults Therapists in Timberlake, NC

I work with adults of all ages who find themselves overwhelmed by situations in their lives. The issues might involve end of relationships, serious health conditions, conflict in relationships, and grief. Adults have multiple responsibilities that include earning a living, meeting financial expenses, caring for children and older family members. It is natural that we forget to think about ourselves. We may become irritable, sad, resentful, and tired all the time. We want someone who can listen without judging. We want a therapist who "gets us", who understands our pain, and wants to help us move forward.

I genuinely believe that no matter who we are or what background we come from, we all need a little extra support from time to time. I am here to do just that. I would love to co-create a space of empowerment, safety, and healing with you, your children and/or your family. My therapeutic approach is one of empathy, gentleness, free of shame or judgment, and based in finding joy in life. I work from a variety of modalities including arts-based, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, strengths-based, and person centered.

Hello, my name is Karen Landis and I am a clinical social worker. I have a private practice in Durham, NC. I have 25 years of experience of working with families and children. I have 12 years of experience working with individual adults.

Have you ever wondered if other people’s lives were as chaotic as yours? Were other people’s families as stressful as yours? Or, do you ever wonder if you are “just losing your mind?” I understand that life is messy and we, as humans, are messy too. Figuring out how to navigate life is serious business, and social media portrayals of “having the perfect life” do not help us tone down the negative self-talk that tends to jumble our thoughts. Would you like to pause all the static in your mind? Would you like to learn strategies to improve your mood, lessen your stress, and create “a life worth living?”

Everyone has needs, if we didn't we would not be human. Your individuality is what makes you who you are. Are you lost, unsure, anxious, nervous, sad, down, unmotivated, pissed off, angry, having your emotions going every which way, racing thoughts, nightmares, flashbacks, ect. What is your goal and how are you going to reach it? Let's work together from the Shadows to your Life.

Everyone could benefit from talking with a counselor to help cope with life's stressors. You may prefer to meet with a counselor one-on-one to help improve your quality of life. If your intimate relationship is a concern, you and your partner(s) could utilize relationship counseling to communicate more effectively and regain the passion that drew you together. Building a support network and feeling as if you belong are also valuable resources that group counseling can provide. Regardless of your concern, there are multiple counseling options to help meet your needs. Initiating counseling services is the first step to feeling better.

**Practice has immediate openings for new clients**. When was the last time you checked in with you? I’m not talking about your children, partner, your friends, your colleagues, but I’m talking about you. How often do you evaluate your current place in life, then set realistic goals to accomplish life’s milestones? Are you constantly thinking that there has to be more, but you just need help trying to figure it all out? I am here to assist you. My job is to help move you away from the things that no longer work, perhaps they never did, and towards a more ideal way of being.

Welcome! My name is Lamar Whidbee and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate in North Carolina. I believe that the journey to healing, self- acceptance and sustainability is beautiful. Many men, specifically Black men, have been conditioned to ignore emotional responsibility while internalizing most emotion. I strive to advocate for Black men in the mental health space, as I am aware of the stigmas that disconnect Black men from mental health support. My greatest joy in a session is to see my client set free from the issues that previously restricted them.
