Non-Binary Therapists in Stanley, NC

As a licensed marriage and family therapy associate, I work with individuals, couples, and families navigate various life changes that can occur (whether expected or unexpected). I enjoy working with people of color, fat folks, as well as members of the LGBTQIA+ community to provide a safe and affirming place to discuss all aspects of your identity and how it impacts your daily life. I also trust that you are the expert of your life, and want to help continue cultivating wellness in all that you are.

I specialize in working with teens, adults, and families seeking to improve relationships (with themselves and others), family dynamics, emotional well-being, anger/stress management, parenting, and anxiety/depression. My counseling approach incorporates techniques that emphasize healthy communication, trust-building, and the teaching of effective coping skills.

Are you wondering if you may be autistic or ADHD, or maybe you’ve just received a diagnosis. Perhaps you've known all your life and are now on a journey of healing and discovery, looking to become the most authentic version of self. Does it often feel like you're trying to be someone you’re not, just to appease those around you? When you are not living in alignment with who you are at your core, you can face so many more obstacles to contentment. You may be experiencing burnout, anxiety, depression, or simply a lack of joy. Reconnecting to your deepest and most authentic self can reconnect you to life and create a path to healing.

Welcome. I am a person centered, LGBTQ+ clinical mental health counselor and addictions specialist. I use an eclectic and uniquely adaptable approach for a range of ages, developmental-transitional stages towards positive shifts in attitude, behavior, and mood for the wellbeing of clients. I have advanced training using expressive arts therapy, trauma-informed care, infused with nature, and sports psychotherapy interventions. I work collaboratively with people to rebuild trust in themselves and the world. I work with local resources and help identify self strategies for increased positive life experiences.

Seeking therapeutic counseling can be challenging for any number of reasons, from being ready to take the first step on your mental health journey to finding a therapist that's right for you. Wherever you are on your path, I aim to provide a comforting, non-judgmental environment where you feel heard, valued, and comfortable being yourself. Therapy is collaborative work with your goals as the focus. The number of different therapeutic treatments out there may be overwhelming, but I can help you find what works. No matter who you are, I will work with you to reach your next step and grow while you decide what we are working towards.

Adria meets their clients where they are at in their healing process, empowering them to navigate or overcome uncomfortable emotions, harmful behaviors, and intrusive thoughts. Adria recognizes that during crisis situations, harmful or self-destructive behaviors can seem necessary for survival. This is why they strive to help their clients implement new resources and coping skills that allow clients to not only survive, but thrive while learning to love themselves entirely. Adria is motivated to provide a space that is free of judgment so that clients can feel safe, validated, and supported in discussing anything and everything.

If you’re feeling stuck in any aspect of your life, whether it’s relationship patterns, professional struggles, or dealing with specific feelings or memories that feel overwhelming; I’m glad you’re looking for support. Life can be challenging for all of us, and it’s a good sign when you can recognize these struggles and reach out for help. I'm here to offer authentic connection and camaraderie so that we can explore where you want to experience change, and how I can hold space / offer feedback so you can find the best path forward.

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.

I believe that healing that takes place with another person present is sacred. I enjoy working with clients at any stage of the healing process, from just starting their journey to feeling confident in their abilities. We will create a safe, supportive environment for you to explore yourself and become the best possible you through listening, education, and creative counseling techniques that are NOT Freud's psychotherapy. I love it when clients bring in questions, ask for homework, and commit to the process of counseling. At the same time, I have worked successfully with numerous clients who weren't so sure about going on their journey yet. If motivation is lacking, I like to provide a sounding board for clients who want to be inspired and empowered to decide what's right for them. I regularly ask my clients to get their hands dirty so that in the future, you will have the tools and coping skills you need to embrace your life. Much of counseling is a "choose your own ending" adventure novel, and when you are up for those twists, I'll be right beside you so you do not have to walk through the dark alone.

Hello! My name is Andi and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate. If you are a teen or adult in the LGBT community, who may be having a hard time reconciling their idea of their gender identity and presentation, my passion and experience may be a good fit with you. If you identify as neurodiverse, including intellectual and developmental disabilities and conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and/or autism all across the spectrum, I hope you’ll consider reaching out.

Therapy is a place to dream, scream and put it all back together again. You will arrive, again, to a place where you know that you are worthy and you do not have to hide. There is a future where you are welcome without wearing a mask. There are people that will show up for you. The real you. You deserve to find them.

Welcome! I'm so glad you made it here. Taking the first step in seeking out a therapist can be scary and overwhelming. As a non-binary, neurodivergent therapist, I provide an affirming space that allows my clients to accept all parts of themselves and celebrate their identities. I specialize in working with young adults, including college students and young professionals, who are queer-identified and/or neurodivergent.

Painful experiences can imprint on our brains and alter our perspective of our strength and ability. Yet our largest impediment to change is often being unseen and not validated for who we are. My work focuses on creating room for clients to live authentically and teaching them to take up space in their own lives without apologizing.

I am casual and tattooed, and that tends to work for most people... even if it's vastly different from how people picture a typical 'therapist'. I feel very privileged to work with members of the LGBTQ+ community and believe I offer a unique perspective as a trans man (that also happens to be a therapist). I really enjoy providing support to folks while they explore components of their authentic identities. I am comfortable working with folks that identify with being poly and/or kinky (No shaming here!).

I strive to reach clients where they are holistically and enjoy working with people at every phase of their journey. My goal as a therapist is to establish an authentic and trusting relationship to work together to help you live a fulfilling life. I enjoy working with folks at every stage of their life journey, and understand that reaching out is a huge step for many people. I want to help folks realize their goals of self actualization, peace, contentment, and happiness.

Relationships can be painful and frustrating. Sometimes, it might feel like you’ve gotten on an emotional roller coaster you didn’t sign up for. You’re so tired of having the same fights over and over. Maybe you’re looking for a therapist to help you and your partner(s) learn how to communicate, regulate your emotions, and be vulnerable with each other. Maybe you're considering opening your relationship and you want support talking about boundaries and expectations. Or you need help repairing after you or one of your partners damaged the trust of your relationship. You don’t have to do this alone.
