Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Cashiers, NC

We are products of our environment, experiences and relationships. Along the way, we have gathered deeply internalized beliefs - some that serve our growth and wellbeing, some that don’t - emotions, both positive and negative, and chronic stress or trauma. All of this has impacted our life and much of what has happened in the past still resides deeply in our body, manifesting as behavioral, relational or emotional struggles, often unexplained and sometimes inexplicable.

I am passionate about walking alongside both people in their healing journeys towards transformation and wholeness. I have experience assisting those suffering from trauma, sports injuries, car accidents, recent trauma's, CPTSD and PTSD, anxiety, ADHD and life stressors in their journey toward healing. I enjoy having sessions both outdoors in nature and at the office based off of your individual needs or desires. I would love to come alongside you and assist you in your healing journey.

Hi, I'm a therapist who has a mindfulness and yoga teaching background. I'm here to help you bring kindness, awareness and compassion to your difficult thoughts and emotions so that you can process safely and realign towards the life of your dreams. Taking the initiative to reach out for therapy brings you one step closer towards healing. We can only heal what we can feel and being witnessed can make all the difference. Judith Herman, a pioneer of psychological healing writes, "Recovery can take place only within the context of relationships; it cannot occur in isolation.”

"We are all just walking each other home." - Rumi Hello, I am Bo. I am a licensed psychotherapist, licensed clinical addiction specialist, and psychiatric social worker. Thank you for considering me as your clinician. I understand it is difficult to reach out for help. Right now, you may be navigating feelings of shame, embarrassment, and anger. I want you to know, I have been there too, in the middle of the storm, darkness all around. Sometimes in life and in our relationships we all can become "stuck".

Deepening our relationship with ourself naturally transforms our relationships with others, as well as with the world around us... and I love supporting you in this process. I offer encouraging and inquisitive presence as we work together to resource your nervous system, deepen self-attunement, and cultivate resilience during times of stress, grief, life transitions, relationship changes and spiritual explorations. I specialize in helping my clients identify and express their needs and wants as well as learn to establish and hold healthy boundaries in order to experience more empowered and connective relationships.

Currently accepting new clients for remote sessions only "What's past is prologue" PROLOGUE, which means your past is not the whole story! You are the author of your future. You can grow, learn, and heal. You can "dwell in possibility." I believe that you possess the raw materials for growth, I believe you possess strengths and skills to heal, and I believe you have a unique story to tell and a right to be heard. I will strive to provide a safe and sacred space for you to share your story. I believe that mutual respect and trust between counselor and client makes all the difference.

Parents, teens, preteens, and Co-Parenting counseling are my focus. I work with teens and preteens needing support with anxiety, depression, divorce, low self-esteem and who struggle with learning challenges. I work to create a therapeutic environment where you and your teen feel safe to share, feel seen and heard, and can set goals, learn new life skills; to help create space between emotions, and reactions. Creating an overall happier relationship with life. And where you as parents can receive support, and also as co-parents develop healthy communication skills, and learn to create the parenting relationship you desire.

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.

It is natural for us to encounter bumps in the road every now and then. But sometimes, those bumps feel like mountains and it can feel like we’re stuck. I am here to walk with you and help you move forward in times like these. I believe deeply in the power of human connection in the path to healing and self-compassion. I understand the vulnerability that it can take to seek therapy. My goal in our work together is to create a safe space where you can bring your whole, authentic self. My work as a therapist is grounded in a client-centered approach, meaning that your goals will guide our work together.

I provide a place for individuals to sharpen their awareness and come into greater clarity within themselves. The therapeutic relationships I foster serve as grounds for spontaneous discovery and depth of care. I hold the experience of being human as a complex, tender, and multi-dimensional process. Through attuned listening, I witness clients make the unconscious material of their psyches and lives conscious. My approach is dynamic, meeting the individual and our work together as it evolves. My practice integrates Mindfulness-Based, Body-Centered/ Somatic, Gestalt, Eco Therapy, and Transpersonal Counseling approaches.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 30 years of clinical experience.

I combine a variety of modalities, perspectives, and techniques including client-centered, cognitive behavioral, existential, humanistic, mindfulness, solution-focused, somatic, and trauma-informed care. My mission is to help you manage stress and find more balance in your life.

Life transitions are a part of our journey and, while some are rewarding, some are a challenge. Whether you are struggling with something personally or professionally, you could benefit from working with a therapist who understands and can help guide you through the work to initiate change in your life. My approach is holistic, honest, and interactive with a little humor thrown in when needed. Clients appreciate my authenticity and ability to “be real” with them regarding how best to tackle current issues and concerns. I encourage my clients to start with small steps and move toward what speaks to their heart and their values.

In my counseling practice, I primarily focus on guiding and supporting the resolution of developmental and relational trauma, as well as finding ways to cope with anxiety. My approach is person-centered and holistic, blending various modalities catered towards each individual. I truly believe that anyone who chooses, has the ability to heal and overcome adversities. I respect and honor each individual's step along this journey and strive to create a safe environment which allows for deep awareness, vulnerability and a strengthened sense of self.

I have worked with adults with who suffer from substance use disorder, co-occurring mental health related issues, and trauma. I have Masters degree from Grand Canyon University in Addiction Counseling. I have had the pleasure and continue to want to work with patients who want to regain control of their lives and continue the rest of their Life's journey with sustained sobriety however that looks for you.

Therapy is about exploring where you are and where you want to go. It's about envisioning the life you want and understanding what's holding you back. Sometimes we get so caught up in our stories, we forget that we can change. Yet we are so resilient! I love helping people befriend themselves and celebrate all of who they are. Together we can face your most trying moments with grace and integrity. We can identify obstacles, and explore practical solutions. I value giving you the support and perspective you need to feel grounded and whole.

As a therapist at Matone Counseling, I support clients who may be feeling stuck and are looking for some support in finding a starting point and getting some traction, or who are simply looking for a safe space to express and explore themselves. I'm passionate about working with young adults and adults (18-40) struggling with anxiety, traumatic experiences and life transitions.

Have you ever said “ I will never drink again” only to find yourself drinking again? Do you find yourself hiding bottles? Going to different stores each day to buy alcohol? Does your drinking cause shame and guilt? Are you feeling isolated, alone, misunderstood? Are you stuck in the same patterns of behavior? Have you tried to solve the problems in your life on your own and realized you need help from someone else? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have made the right choice by being here. Together we can work to help equip you with the necessary tools to help you face and overcome your challenges.

I specialize in EMDR (processes traumatic memories/core beliefs), Parts Work influenced by Internal Family Systems (systems of protective and wounded inner parts lead by a core Self), and Mindfulness-Based Somatic Therapy (emotions/sensations in the body in the present moment). I also use a variety of other forms of psychotherapy including Hakomi, Contemplative, Person-Centered (Rogerian), Existential, Relational Life Therapy, and Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. I provide a safe, nonjudgemental space for you to turn toward your experience. A whole body-mind approach has the ability to transform, much more than talk therapy alone.
