Therapists in Winston Salem, NC

Hi Guys, My name is Kristall and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been practicing for a little over 5 years with much success in my journey and thoroughly enjoy working with people from different cultures, backgrounds, and ethnicities. In my years of practicing, I've learned that talking to strangers about life issues is never easy, so I try to make the transition as easy as possible for everyone I come in contact with. I'm energetic, down to earth, and realistic about life in general. Come see me soon! I'll be waiting on you!

Hello! I have been trained in Play Therapy, EMDR, PTSD, and Trauma Therapy and specialize in anxiety and depression. I have been in the mental health field since 2007 and have an office located near Hanes Mall in Winston Salem. Most clients find my approach gentle, compassionate and involved. I try to leave you with something in each session, instead of "just listening." You can expect to be accepted where you are, to feel safe, and to be an active participant in your unique journey as we move at your own pace.

Your current situation does not define you! Whether you have experienced trauma, a major life change, or want to improve your overall mental health, change is possible and therapy is for you! Speaking your mind in an empathetic, judgement free zone is beneficial and a powerful tool for change. I strive to provide a safe space to explore issues such as anxiety, anger, depression, low self esteem, and much more. I believe this journey looks different for everyone, and using interventions based on the principles of DBT, strengths perspective, CBT, mindfulness, psychoeducation and ACT, we will find the tools that work best for you!

Many times people find themselves at a place in life where they find it difficult to move towards their goals in life. Goals vary from person to person; but they are important to who we are. A person may notice the same mountain is circled with little to no progress. This can be very frustrating. Obstacles might include past "hang-ups", lack of self trust, or feeling unmotivated or overwhelmed with life's circumstances. There may be times the individual wonders if things will always be a certain way, or they may wonder if there is something they are missing. They desire to move past the obstacles and achieve their goal.

Accepting new clients. We all face difficulties that can impact our happiness and quality of life. I invite you to join with me in learning new ways to battle life’s obstacles. I prefer working with individual adults and adolescents, both males and females.. As both a licensed mental health counselor and addiction specialist, I bring 13 years of experience and tools to assist you in building understanding and coping strategies.

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 remember many years ago, while in graduate school, a professor stating that the client may not remember the therapist's words but will remember the connection or alliance that was forged. This statement speaks to the fact that fundamentally it is the working relationship which drives change. Therefore, it is extremely important that you find a therapist who strives to "get you."

You keep thinking that one day it will be better. One day your grief won't be so hard. One day you'll stop calling yourself such awful names that you'd never dream of saying to anyone else. One day your anxiety won't make anything and everything harder. One day you might discover who you want to be when you grow up. Here's the thing: time doesn't heal all wounds. It's what we do with that time. Aren't you ready for something different? What healing and change looks like is different for everyone. Why not see what it could look like for you? (Please note that as of 1/1/24 I am not able to see clients who have Medicare.)

I believe therapy can be essential for anyone seeking to improve their mental well being. Each of us have experienced our own difficulties, though they may be different, struggle is universal. It is my desire to provide a safe, unbiased, and welcoming space for you to grow to the person you want to be. In therapy I will be there to provide a listening ear and give feedback to assist you in your journey. During this time we will work as a team navigating the ups and downs together.

Greg Letourneau has been licensed by the North Carolina Social Work Certification and Licensure Board since 1996. He has received his certification as a sex addictions therapist(CSAT), in 2006 and has become a clinical supervisor for the past 7 years.

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.

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.

The therapy room is a place that is emotionally safe. It is a space free of judgment. Working with clients who are ready to show up for themselves authentically is a benefit for me being a therapist. No matter how, what or who causes our ‘wounds’, it is our responsibility to be intentional and work towards healing.

Much of our day-to-day life demands that we keep thoughts and feelings to ourselves, minimize our emotional reactions, and conform to societal expectations that may not be in service of our true selves. Let's address it. My philosophy is relationship-driven, so it is important to our work together that we both bring our authentic selves into the room. If you have a trauma history, experience disconnect between your body, mind, and spirit, wish to experience yourself more compassionately, or generally want to make change, we may be a good fit. I want to support your processing as well as your empowerment.

Often times we journey through life and due to experiences, circumstances and life's challenges, life can become overwhelming and begin to feel hopeless. Thoughts such as "I can't do this much longer", "this isn't the way it was supposed to be", can often plague our mind. My desire is to journey along with you to help you get in touch with your underlying needs, explore barriers to change, build on solutions, break negative patterns and develop coping skills to enable you to live in the fullness God would have for you.
