Buddhist Therapists in Haw River, NC

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.

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

Taking the first step to get help can be a very tough decision. Many people who consider starting therapy may be feeling overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, ashamed, or hopeless. My practice focuses on helping those who have experienced trauma heal in a safe, secure, compassionate, and supportive environment. I use evidenced-based and evidence-informed practices that have been known to help others, like you, experience relief from the effects of trauma. My goal as your therapist is to understand, nurture, and leverage your innate strengths and resources in the healing process and restore balance to your system.

As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS) I provide individual psychotherapy, viewing each individual within the context of their environment & their inner sources. I have worked at all levels of care. I appreciate collaborating with other treatment providers to provide the best care possible. In the midst of a struggle, we can often lose sight of our strengths, and I work alongside clients to re-connect to their inherent resilience/resources. I meet clients where they are and strive to create a therapeutic environment that is affirming, accepting and inclusive

Accepting New Clients - Together we will discover the blockages and limitations that are holding you back from living your best life. As you walk us through your process, resentment transforms into forgiveness. Shame into self compassion. And from confusion, find clarity. By grounding yourself in the present moment using the tools that you were born with, you will discover new ways of existing in your every day life that bring you closer to living out your purpose and experiencing sincere happiness and fulfillment. My role is to facilitate your path as you find your way back home to yourself.

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.

I am dedicated to partnering with people who want more: more peace, more meaning, more love, more depth, more space, more insight, or more of you're-not-quite-sure-yet. We might be a great fit if you consider yourself a highly sensitive person (HSP), want to work through disordered eating or body image issues using a Health at Every Size (HAES) and Intuitive Eating approach, are an early career therapist or other helping professional wanting to build out a sustainable professional foundation for yourself and avoid or heal burnout, or know you benefit from working with a therapist operating from an anti-oppressive lens.

Feeling lost in the sea of therapists online? You do not want to book an intake and tell someone your whole life story only to realize a few sessions in that they are just nodding, not saying much and you don't click. So, are we going to talk about feelings? Sure. And, I believe in a no nonsense approach to therapy. I will hold you accountable to create the change you want to see in your life. Whether we meet in my office, go for a walk outdoors, or have a virtual session, my aim is to provide a safe and supportive space where meaningful change and healing can happen.

Are you spinning your wheels? Have you tried, again and again, to just get this thing called life to work for you, but nothing seems to stick? I've been there, and I get it. Our lives are the stories of our being in the world, and I work with individuals, couples, and families to look at the big picture of the story of YOUR life. We will explore not only the “how” of your life and the challenges that it brings, but also the “why” of these same issues, so that you can finally make some progress and begin to live with greater fulfillment and ease of being in the world.

As a Somatic Therapist, I believe that everyone has within them an inner wisdom and inner healing power that is their natural birthright. My role is to help create the environment for that inner genius to arise and find itself. When this is done, new meaning, purpose and life narratives can be discovered and lived out. I have wide experience assisting individuals in managing a variety of behavioral and emotional concerns including trauma, chronic pain and health issues, difficult life transitions, weight management, anxiety, depression, and stress management.

I integrate all my training in helping clients heal and transform their lives in the direction which honors living one's full potential/purpose. I work with individuals and offer women's expressive arts groups. The areas I have worked with include: mild - moderate anxiety, mild - moderate depression, stress reduction, communication skills, codependency, low self- esteem, relational issues, grief, social skill building, marital/divorce/relationship issues, women's issues, racial/ethnic/cultural concerns, meaning of life, life transitions, life purpose, identity questions, BIPOC issues, spiritual issues, and eco-related issues.

Why do we do anything? I believe the reason that we do anything is to feel better. There may be 5 physical senses; however, we pursue life always in the hope of feeling better. We attract our life circumstances based on how we feel. Our active emotions create an emotional vibrational set point. When we learn to tend to our emotional health first, prior to engaging in action, we become the authors of our lives. Learning to find emotional alignment prior to engaging in activity, conversation, and interaction with others, will allow us to attract our wanted life desires. Thus, change your energy and you change your life.

Have you or your child experienced something difficult or painful that has changed how you view yourself or those around you? Or do the day-to-day pressures feel too much to bear? Is it difficult to feel joy or peace as you move through your day? Do you feel shame because you think you should be able to cope better? We all experience dark days or months or even years. Imagine feeling joy, peace, and a sense of purpose again. It can be scary, but people do find their inner strength and resilience. You can create a life of purpose.

Maybe you want a space to process changes that are happening or you are struggling to figure out the next right steps to create the life you want. You want to live your life confidently, as the fullest version of yourself, but you are feeling alone or ashamed or overwhelmed. Or maybe you want to feel more connected to your partner, but you keep leaving interactions with them feeling like they just aren’t getting where you’re coming from. It's so easy to feel like you're stuck in the same patterns.

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.
