Hoarding Therapists in Swain County, NC

You do not have to do this alone. Whatever “this” is, I’m here, let’s figure the solution out together. My name is Natasha Harvey and I am a licensed clinical social worker and licensed substance abuse counselor with over 13 years of experience. I have worked in a vast variety of settings and service levels. I believe most people have the answers to their ailments, they just need a little support in finding them. I utilize many therapeutic modalities such as, but not limited to, solution-focused, CBT, DBT, EMDR, and ACT. I’d love the opportunity to support you on your journey of healing and self-discovery.

Hi, I'm a therapist who has a mindfulness and yoga teaching background. I'm here to help you learn how to gently be with difficult emotions with kindness, awareness and compassion so that you can process what you have been through safely and then re-integrate 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.”

Linden Shroyer, MSW, LCSWA is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate working both in the office and via tele-health services online. He earned his Master’s degree in Social work at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina. Prior to graduate school, he worked in wilderness therapy, primarily with adolescents. This experience opened his eyes to the wide variety of issues plaguing young people today, as well as the wide variety of clinical approaches that have proven efficacy in treating those issues. This experience prompted him to pursue a career in mental health counseling and social work.

Life's transitions can be challenging, and it's completely normal to experience mood disturbances during these times.

It's crucial to address your unique needs and build a path toward recovery that suits you best. In person and Telehealth appointments available.

In our first session we will discuss working together on-line. I use a combination of IFS (Internal Family Systems) and EMDR. IFS is an extraordinary therapy. In safe, gentle, respectful ways, IFS accesses and TRANSFORMS that which is the cause of your problems: your hidden and not-so-hidden fears, shame, anger, hurt… why you have negative thinking (I’m not good enough, things are not the way I want them to be), as well as the negative ways you may be acting (in anger, critical, impatient, abusing substances). I use a special on-line platform for EMDR which I am finding works well.

I am a trauma-informed, integrative, EMDR therapist. I use ego states and parts work in conjunction with somatic work to help bring ‘online’ the left and right hemispheres of your brain. I am focused on treating the whole person and would like to have an open, honest conversation about what you are looking for and your treatment wants and needs.

Stress, anxiety, uncertainty, and fear can feel overwhelming. You may find yourself turning to drugs or alcohol, harmful eating patterns, self-harm, or fall back on other old habits to cope with your emotions. You may be struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, or fear. Maybe you are in recovery from addiction or an eating disorder, and are having trouble maintaining your progress. You may be navigating your gender and sexual identify. Or perhaps you are concerned that your teenager is dealing with some of these issues. Whatever you are facing, you are not alone! I am here to provide support, guidance, and encouragement.

Often those things in life that are most difficult are natural parts of life, known as givens – Freedom, Death, Isolation, Meaninglessness. Being confronted with these givens can create anxiety, which can lead to significant consequences. Everyone who looks for a therapist does it because there is something that is blocking their happiness. It might be something external that caused you to look, but you have it within you to set yourself free. Waiting for the world, your boss, your significant other to make things better for you gives someone else control over your happiness.

For so many people, our childhoods were not "good enough, safe enough." Maybe our caregivers were tricky and lacked the capacity to allow us full human experiences as children, and now our bodies are holding that pain. For some of us, we bonded with what was available- substances, food, sex, pain. For all of us, our emotions and behaviors make sense within the context of who we are and what we've been through. And we have survived the worst. Some of our behaviors may not be helping the way they once did. Together, we can start fulfilling the unmet needs that are underneath those behaviors so that you can grow in meaningful ways.

When we are not feeling at our best due to stress, anxiety, depression, family conflict, addiction etc., it effects every other aspect of our lives. It takes strength and courage to recognize that something needs to change. I like to work with my clients in a collaborative and supportive style that provides a blend of coaching, interactive interventions and by instilling hope about their future. Where you are today does not mean that you have to be there tomorrow

Lemon (therapy assistant pictured in photo) and I are accepting new clients in 2024! I’m not your typical talk-therapist. I am dynamic in the sense that I’ve been trained in many different evidenced-based models, theories, and techniques, but the therapy that I provide derives from what is needed most by the client sitting in front of me. I’m fun, energetic and real. I don’t mind being direct when necessary, and I think it’s okay to sometimes disclose information about myself;after all, the passion and interest that I have for helping others is directly related to my lived experience of trying to ground myself in an unsettled world.
