Therapists in Granite Falls, NC

I am dual-licensed as a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate. My ideal client is someone who wants to put in the work to make themselves the best they can be. I recognize that your best will be different every day, and that's okay! Aimee draws from evidence-based practices such as person-centered therapy, compassion-focused therapy, existential therapy, expressive arts therapy, journaling and narrative therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, reality and solution-focused therapies, I am grateful to have the opportunity to serve clients in NC & help them meet their personal goals!

Freedom, joy, connection, and peace are our natural state of being. They happen on their own when our bodies feel safe and supported enough to release painful past experiences that keep us stuck in distressing patterns. We feel unable to relax and are busy and burnt out. Being truly seen and loved and feeling belonging are deep desires for us, but seem unfulfillable. Instead, we resort to self improvement. Expressing our boundaries, feelings, and needs with others isn't easy. We often feel anxious, sad, shameful, numb, or alone. Triggers or physical symptoms intrude in our lives regularly. Our bodies don't feel at home.

My passion in life is supporting you to become your most authentic, joyous self. I believe you already have a wellspring of wisdom and clarity within, and I take great pleasure in helping you clear the way to your own inner guidance. As a proud, openly transgender woman, I find fulfillment in working with individuals and couples on transition and identity issues, communication, codependency, relational/cultural/ancestral trauma, gender, sexuality, poly/non-monogamy, depression, addiction, anxiety, psychedelic integration, and spirituality. Perhaps the path isn't quite clear, yet you're ready to take a step towards something better.

My practice as a clinician focuses on exploration of LGBTQ+ identities, eating disorders and disordered eating, and grief. I also have some experience in working with individuals managing addiction and individuals managing OCD or symptoms of OCD .

I am a psychotherapist for adult individuals and couples. Do you want stronger, clearer and healthier relationships? My clients consist mainly of open minded, artistic and unconventional persons wanting more intimacy and connection or wanting to explore their innate gifts and talents. I also work with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and non-binary persons. However, I love working with anyone who is seeking growth, wholeness and perspective.

It can be profoundly painful to embody an identity that our culture strives to suppress, whether you’re queer, trans, have a larger body, or otherwise do not fit societal expectations. Too often we are pressured to conform ourselves to narrow and ultimately unattainable standards of who we should be and how we should live. Maybe you feel inadequate, ashamed, alone, or even guilty about the attraction you feel, the body you live in, or questioning your beliefs. You’re looking for a space to unburden yourself, to safely explore beyond what you've been told is acceptable, where you don’t have to make yourself small.

Are you struggling with women's issues, trauma, relationships, grief, anxiety, or major life changes? There comes a time when we need some help from a licensed professional to cope with many of life’s challenges, and I’d love to help you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. My approach is to help you delve deeper into understanding some of the cyclical patterns created and to liberate yourself to optimum health mind, body, and spirit so that you can thrive instead of just survive. I honor the opportunity to explore with an individual their underlining traumas of lacking a spiritual connection to everything around us.
