Often times people come to therapy due to feeling excessive stress at work, at home, or in their relationships. They find the pressures of every day life have exceeded their abilities, overwhelmed their senses, and left them with an inability to cope. They are often having problems going to school, completing tasks, getting along with others at work, and finding activities enjoyable resulting in low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, or other symptoms. Families often report not being able to get along or feeling overwhelmed with parenting a child that is having behavioral problems. They know they need to make a change.

I look forward to meeting clients who seek a calm, home-like environment in which to safely explore the various ways their lives may be improved. I can help anyone who is inspired to engage in self-exploration and insight-building in order to release what is old and not working and develop new habits that increase function and improve quality of life. My goal is to meet you where you are and help you to get where you would like to go.

"Only in an open non judgmental space can we acknowledge what we are feeling. Only in an open space where we're not caught up in our own version of reality can we see and hear and feel who others really are, which allows us to be with them and communicate with them properly." This quote by Pema Chodron, an American Buddhist Nun expresses the atmosphere I hope to create for clients seeking counseling services from me. For more than 30 years I have attempted to provide, through a collaborative dialogue services that will improve each clients quality of life.

Currently accepting new clients! Hi! If you’re searching for a therapist, chances are you might be struggling with something in your life.

I specialize in the treatment of anxiety disorders and depressive disorders.

I strive to provide a warm and caring environment for clients to feel open to explore challenges in their life. I appreciate working with clients who are tired of being “stuck” and want to address trauma and/or stressful life events from their past that are standing in the way of them achieving their dreams.

My goal as a psychologist is to increase self-awareness and create positive change in a nonjudgmental environment. Psychotherapy can relieve emotional distress, improve one's quality of life, help process painful events and increase self-awareness. Unfortunately many people are conflicted about the decision to get help and may see psychotherapy as a sign of weakness. It has been my experience that people who are unhappy for whatever reason and choose to go to psychotherapy are being assertive, healthy, and courageous in the handling of their problems.

Sometimes we feel alone, even in a crowd or with significant others. Pain, trauma, feeling different/misunderstood/unknown or even how we see ourselves can drive a wedge between us and the people and life experiences that matter most to us.

Hi. My name is Carol Bennett, and I am a clinically licensed social worker in Wilmington, NC. I work with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief and loss issues, communication effectiveness, chronic pain and illnesses, and end of life decisions and questions. The goal is to work together to find acceptable solutions to whatever the distress is, so that you, as the client, find effective skills to cope with the presenting problem, and enable you to have a more positive outlook to life. Typical issues may include anxiety over current life dilemmas, depression and grief regarding losses and major life changes, etc.

What thoughts race through your mind as you go through the day? What thoughts have become obstacles? Do those thoughts hold you captive in states of anxiety and depression? Do they make you feel unsafe, insecure, and isolated, even when we are surrounded by others? Do these thoughts make relationships complicated and responsibilities seem impossible? Are your mental and emotional stressors effecting your physical well-being in ways like physical pain, fatigue, sensory intolerance, brain fog, and inability to focus? Exploring your thoughts and feelings can be difficult, but you do not have to walk through this process alone.

Are you feeling stressed, overwhelmed with life, exhausted, anxious, or depressed? Have you experienced a stressful or traumatic life event? Perhaps you struggle with a chronic illness. Maybe you struggle with a difficult child or teen. Or maybe your partner has been unfaithful. Are you tired of feeling isolated and hopeless? You want- no, you need- things to change, but you don’t where to begin. Asking for help can be one of the most difficulty things to do, but I would be honored to help you discover your inner strength and begin your journey to healing and being who you are meant to be.

Welcome to Gaining Clarity Counseling Services! All are welcome here! I take pride in being real. While techniques and interventions are important, the relationship between therapist and client is essential for positive outcomes. I have particular interest and experience in working with those impacted by traumatic experiences.

Together, we will address root causes and equip you with the tools necessary for sustainable lifestyle change.

I will do everything I can to support you in feeling safe and respected to share. I strive to provide a setting that will allows you to do this. I am open to your input and welcome your feedback as we progress on the path of your renewed happiness.

I believe in the power of self-determination and advocating for others who cannot advocate for themselves. Every person is unique to their core and require special attention in order to reach their full potential. I have personally overcome many life challenges that shook me to my very core. I have worked in a variety of social environments that has helped me to become the person I am today - fun, energetic and outgoing. I love working with others, learning from others and learning from each other. I look forward in meeting new folks and learning life from other's perspectives.
