Attachment-based Therapists in 28805

Partnering in the healing process with my clients is such an honor for me. I work with a variety of issues, with a focus on healing from trauma, or adverse life experiences. I can also help with life changes and stress, anxiety, addictions, eating disorders, phobias, low self-esteem, relationship issues, secondary traumatic stress, complex trauma and dissociative "disorders." I work hard to meet the needs of each individual, providing a safe, non-judgmental, empathic space essential for healing. I am up front and "real," while highly nurturing, and caring; I believe in the transformative effects of the therapeutic relationship.

I create a safe space so that you can discover the sources causing patterns identified as unproductive so that renewal and recovery becomes a possibility. I work with 18-65 y/o women of all gender and sexual identities who are looking to heal from wounds of their past that have caused patterns they feel stuck in and who want freedom. I utilize Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, Mindfulness and Attachment-based interventions from the past 15 years of my training, guidance and experience as a mental health counselor and addiction specialist.

Way to go about taking the first step to start therapy! Life is crazy right now. It's tough to feel any balance. Stressors weigh on you and may even add to your anxiety and depression symptoms. Perhaps you or your child may be struggling and at a loss for what to do. I can support you to find the best strategies to tackle these stressors and get back to balance despite the things we can't change in the world now. I've spent many years working with individuals to navigate their symptoms to work together to make daily life feel back in balance. I have extensive training and experience to treat the whole person with a mindful approach.

Each person comes to the office with unique needs and deserves respect to be heard and understood. Working collaboratively, I offer marriage counseling, along with many other services such as depression and anxiety treatment. As an Imago therapist, we recognize that conflict is growth waiting to happen. I often observe growth and healing in people and feel privileged to have accompanied many on their healing journey. By caring for them, I am personally stretched and shaped through their suffering and in turn only deepens my compassion for others. In part, this creates my tapestry that I hope reflects Grace in paying wisdom forward.

I offer low-fee counseling for people looking to heal their pain and transforms their lives. People who come to me find a safe, supportive, non-judgmental environment where they are free to work through difficulties with someone capable of really listening, holding space, and who sees them and the struggles they are living with. It is my passion to help guide people through the courageous process of healing the past and moving forward into greater health and well-being. I offer sessions both in-person and through telemedicine.

Taking new clients and supervisees. I am a LCMHCS (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor) who specializes in providing counseling to adults. During therapy sessions, I pull from trauma-informed approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness-based stress reduction to empower clients to embrace authentic self-expression and increase their feelings of self-worth and well-being. I also specialize in treating ADHD in adults. I am also a Licensed Supervisor with experience supervising interns. I have 20 years of counseling experience.

Fun and empathetic therapist here to help you navigate life's challenges. My goal is to provide you with a space free of judgment and full of support no matter what you are going through. If it is processing grief, needing someone to vent too, or learning new skills, I am here for you. I am here to support you as a team finding ways you can live the happy, healthy, and fulfilling life that you deserve. I help facilitate healing while also getting to the root of what's bringing chaos in your life. I meet my clients where they are at mentally and emotionally. You are individual and unique and I tailor each session to meet your needs.

I work with my clients’ innate resilience, providing support to people as they discover this resilience for themselves. This process can support reconnection with ourselves, each other, and our world.

You’re scrolling around looking for a therapist who “gets it”. While you appear to have it all together from the outside, you have this nagging feeling that something in your life isn't working. At one point you were confident and strong, but today you feel worn down by your relationships, work, or overwhelming responsibilities. Maybe your upbringing has kept you feeling small, unsure of who you are and what you want out of life. You want support stepping more fully into your cultural, sexual, or ADHDer identities. You want a therapist who understands the nuance and code-switching it takes to navigate this world.

I work with clients in a relaxed, informal, and professional way to promote emotional safety and comfort within the relationship so that they can process openly and authentically about meaningful and often sensitive topics. While experiencing this connection, people are able to gain presence, reflect on experiences and plan for personal maintenance, change and growth. Many clients enjoy both spending time in the office, taking walks, spending time in nature, and/or meeting virtually for telehealth sessions. I like to utilize physical activity, mindfulness, and ecotherapy for engagement and emphasizing overall health and wellness.

When we've experienced unhealthy relationship dynamics or trauma, it can be hard to know how to trust ourselves and others. This can lead to low self-worth, codependency, repeating unwanted patterns, depression, or relational issues. Safely exploring what is at the core of these issues will allow you to live a more authentic and connected life. I work primarily with women who want to uncover their core beliefs and subconscious patterns in order to consciously create the life they desire. Unburden yourself by learning how to compassionately accept your story, process your emotions, and become the safe, loving place you yearn for.

Out of network provider for all insurances You're tired. You have to carry BIG emotions all the damn time with no outlet to let them out. You cry when you’re alone, but put on a smile so the world can’t see you're hurting on the inside. There is no time to slow down because slowing down makes the inner critic grow louder about how awful you are. Perhaps you get some release through disordered eating, but ultimately, that voice comes right back again. The inner critic makes it hard for you to accept yourself and love your flaws. It makes it hard for you to live your life intentionally, with confidence in yourself to use your voice.

Being a human is hard sometimes, and when you're in the middle of the struggle it can feel like no one gets it. If this sounds familiar, I'd love to walk side-by-side with you...not to "fix" you because you were never broken, but to remind you that there are no official rules to navigating life. The rules you've learned to follow are made up but they've kept you stuck and focused on what you feel things "should" look like for too long. Let's work together to uncover the things that matter most to you instead of all the ways you've been told you're doing life "wrong." You deserve better and the world needs you as your authentic self.

As a clinician I am passionate about working with individuals around their personal goals and identity development, assisting couples in more effective ways to communicate and deepen intimacy, coaching parents who are struggling to show up in a way that feels good and effective with their children, or families who are struggling to navigate the challenges of their unique lifestyle.

Do you and your partner have a hard time resolving conflict? Is the struggle to connect making you feel alone and misunderstood? Or, if you're divorced, is the level of acrimony between you and your ex so intense that it feels impossible to co-parent? I help both partnered and divorced couples learn how to regulate their emotions and communicate skillfully. I also help people who struggle with sexual compulsivity and love addiction learn to manage their feelings without resorting to destructive behaviors or staying attached to unhealthy people.

My orientation as a therapist is well suited for clients looking for deeper, clearer self-connection and awareness as well as the attuned, sensitive therapeutic relationship that supports this. My approach often includes the body's wisdom along with a kind of present moment, open and curious attention - mindfulness. Given enough safety, your awareness can relax and become less habitual, more rich and intuitive, as the session becomes a space for uncovering and revising the implicit learning and beliefs that hold you in place, including troubling patterns of thought related to past trauma, attachment wounding and addiction.

Being a teen-ager is SUPER hard. Being their parent can be even harder. There are times when you struggle to comprehend where your child is coming from and have no idea what they are dealing with. Perhaps you tried communicating with your child and all you receive is 'I don't want to talk about it' or 'I'm fine.' Maybe you feel you are living with a stranger and worry that your child's behavior is hard to understand, secretive or dangerous? Technology hasn't even been mentioned yet! Living in an environment like this can challenge the family system.

When is the last time you felt unconditionally accepted, exactly as you are? It's my belief and experience that among all of our deepest desires is the longing to be fully seen, validated, and accepted, when all the masks are taken away — for who we truly and authentically are. I offer a safe, heartfelt, compassionate space in which individuals can reveal their deepest vulnerabilities and empower themselves to live their best lives. I specialize in working with trauma, women's issues, grief, life purpose discovery and spiritual crisis / emergence. I offer individualized and personalized treatment.

In this life we sometimes experience depression, anxiety, and other emotional issues, or distress in our relationships. These experiences can lead us to feel alone, unfulfilled, dissatisfied, and or spiritually disconnected. Working with a seasoned psychotherapist can help you gain insights and healthy coping skills for resolving these issues.
