Buddhist Therapists in Harrisburg, NC

Gentlemen, it’s a recognized human tendency to get “stuck” in our lives. Here’s the truth; you are never “stuck” with your present circumstances. The Game of Life is a psychological and spiritual journey and winning at this game requires you to change your play and learn to think differently and do things in a new way. The work of Stephen Pleasant Therapy is to help men break out from being “stuck” in life, resigned to producing results that are disappointing to them and others. The goal of Stephen Pleasant Therapy is to see transformative progress in men’s confidence, clarity, and full self-expression.

I have been practicing psychotherapy for 30 years. I have experience with a wide range of issues. I am most effective with anxiety related disorders and mood disorders. I have extensive training in mindfulness based cognitive behavioral therapy and utilize that approach most often. I find that I am able to connect with a wide range of clients and issues due to my many years of practice. I consider it an honor and a privilege to assist people meet their goals and make any life adjustments they bring.

What are the thoughts in your head telling you? Are you paying attention to them? Past traumas and generational stories can often be like old recordings playing repeatedly in our minds without us noticing. Yet, over time, these thoughts can lead to depression, anxiety, anger, relationship issues, and general dissatisfaction with our lives. The good news is this: you are not your thoughts! You are so much more and have a vast potential for growth. Are you ready to heal your past and reconcile your present circumstances, in order to build a strong foundation for your future?

I know personally how hard it can be to experience sexual/physical/emotional trauma/addiction/depression/grief/financial/relational ruin/overwhelming anxiety. Hoping to get through a day with the jaw clenching/palm sweating/handshakes/thoughts racing/heart pounding/doubting every idea/thought/emotion, asking will this be forever? Sometimes, you experience paralyzing nightmares or dreams that you are moving in slow motion and feel so alone and isolated when in a crowded room. Moreover, the constant dread (or the invisible weighted depression blanket). I get it; I've lived it and worked with many others who have.

As a compassionate mental health therapist specializing in somatic and attachment-focused therapies, as well as hypnosis, I'm dedicated to facilitating life-transforming experiences for individuals who have faced trauma, struggle with anxiety or have ADHD. My approach emphasizes understanding the mind's workings and equipping clients with effective stress management techniques for the future. For couples seeking deeper connection, both emotionally and sexually, I offer specialized counseling sessions. Together, we delve into the roots of conflicts, fostering mutual understanding and stronger bonds.

Hello and welcome! I'm a licensed mental health counselor and registered nurse with over 17 years of experience helping people and couples (ages 18-103) navigate the complexities of their lives. I have advanced training in multiple and diverse relationship trauma treatment modalities, including somatic experiencing, polyvagal theory, family systems, CPT, parts and shadow work, and EMDR.

Life hasn't gone the way you wanted it to. You long for a better past. Instead of moving on, like others seem to be able to, you spiral into the same dark patterns. Over and over again. You don't want it to be this way, but you don't know what else to do. The days are tiresome, and some mornings you don't even want to get out of bed.

I am passionate about helping people deal with issues of anxiety, depression, addiction, shame, habit change, self-compassion, and finding purpose. My experience ranges from working in schools to hospices, which lends itself to working with people in all stages of life. I offer a non-judgmental, collaborative exploration where clients can tap into their own capacity to heal, accept, and love themselves and others. With that, I offer practical steps and tools to work on for each client depending on their individual needs.

Hi, I’m Tim. I’m so glad you’re here. I work with people exclusively using teletherapy. If you are open to that, then let’s work collaboratively to address obstacles impeding your journey toward a fulfilling life. In the realm of human existence and relationships, we encounter both challenges and opportunities for growth. By exploring these complexities and delving into our inner selves through the wisdom gained from contemplative analysis (mindfulness), we can better understand and resolve conflicts, mend broken connections, and heal from past traumas.

It takes a lot of courage to seek help due to the stigmas that are often associated with receiving counseling services and getting assistance with your mental health. I applaud you for taking the first step! I have had the opportunity to work a diverse group of individuals over the course of the past 15 years. One of the most important things I’ve learned is that there is no cookie-cutter, one size fits all approach to counseling. I prefer to get to know you as an individual, and not just categorizing or summing you up based on the challenges or behaviors that you’re currently facing or challenged with.

I offer counseling for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, and women's issues. Because I understand that life goes on despite our thoughts and feelings, I feel it's important to be a guide and a soundboard to help you address your issues head-on while maintaining and sustaining new and better habits of self-care, mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness and distress tolerance.

I help clients cope with the choices, chances, and challenges they encounter by emphasizing resilience and effective coping strategies. Specific therapy focuses on stress, depression, self-esteem and goal achievements, enabling every client to become more relaxed, happy, successful and obtain the life they deserve. Whatever you're feeling... remember Dr. Austin Chandler is just a phone call away.

Every person I serve has a unique story. While some clients experience challenges in just one area, most experience difficulty multiple areas (mental health, trauma, loss, addiction), creating a complex, vicious cycle if not all parts are addressed. The circumstances that bring someone to therapy do not come in 'neat little packages.' I enjoy sorting out the pieces with each client, getting to the root of the issue, and offering a combination of evidence-based therapeutic interventions that help clients finally begin to experience relief, and start living a happier, more fulfilled life.

I work with highly sensitive, empathic individuals - creatives, therapists, teachers, social activists and healers. If you want to heal family of origin or painful childhood memories OR you seek better communication and coping skills > Let's start! Sessions include safe space, skillful questions, and a CBT approach - along with mindfulness, creativity, and nature-based practices. Each session begins with a short breath practice (optional). I have committed to my own learning/healing and helping others for 25 years. Sessions also include solution-focused steps & homework. I would love to support you in creating a life you love.

It is my pleasure to work with adolescents, adults, couples, veterans, and active-duty military, as well as with groups. I enjoy collaborating with people of diverse racial, spiritual, and cultural backgrounds who have experienced trauma either in childhood, adulthood, or through the military service and who are seeking a safe place to overcome life’s adversities, learn a new way to function, and live a victorious life. I work with issues related to ADHD, anger, anxiety, drug/alcohol use, panic, PTSD, personal growth, racial identity, self-esteem, sexual assault, stress, stressor-related disorders, and career development.

My approach Integrative Psychotherapy draws primarily from Interpersonal Psychotherapy and Insight Meditation. It is my experience that people make changes in their lives in therapy when they feel appropriately supported and understood. This combined with awareness developed through mindfulness practices enables people to take the insights cultivated in therapy sessions and implement them in their lives. I see therapy as an opportunity to explore how our thoughts and perceptions about our life situations, determine the quality of how we experience our lives. Our self-perceptions developed throughout our lives, are often our greatest impediment to changing our lives.

I typically work with adults (18+), families, and couples struggling with depression, anxiety, self-image issues, relationship problems, and other concerns. My specialty populations include: college students, medical and mental healthcare professionals, military members, and ordained clergy. My job is to listen well and ask good questions in order to help my clients cultivate positive, lasting changes in their relationship with themselves and others!

I help clients identify a source of wisdom and wellness within themselves. I share warmth, honest human connection, and my own experiential understanding of the mind from two decades of meditation practice. Anyone who is looking for a path out of suffering is welcome.
