"Clear, Resolve, Transform. I help clients discover and resolve subconscious causes for emotionaI and behavioral difficulties. The Subconscious controls emotions, desires, memory, habits, thoughts, dreams, and automatic responses. One may consciously understand the value of eliminating problematic emotions, thoughts or behaviors but unless the Subconscious Mind is reached, enduring change is unlikely. I address the underlying subconscious blocks to living a clear and free life. I have effectively treated sexual abuse, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, phobias, addictions and more. Issues are cleared, clients report being able to function with more energy and clarity. Relationships thrive and lives are transformed."

"Life can feel overwhelming! You may find yourself turning to drugs or alcohol, unhealthy eating patterns, self-harm, or other harmful behaviors to cope with your emotions. You may be struggling with anxiety, stress, or depression. Maybe you are currently in recovery from addiction or an eating disorder, and are having trouble maintaining your progress. 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!"

" It is my greatest gift to companion with others on the full spectrum of their human journeys. I believe that healing happens when we feel heard, seen and "gotten" by another. When someone can help us hold our life experience without judgment, we can find our own truth and wisdom. I like to help clients live into the big questions of life to find their own way. How do we hold compassion for ourselves in the midst of grief, heartache and dispair? How do we bear our sufferings or limitations with grace? Are we living from our whole-hearted self and deepest values? If not, what is in the way of it? Let's explore together."

"I believe in transformation - yours (and mine), and that the draw towards the good is irresistible. I want to know your story, how you tell it, and where you hope it will go. As your unfoldment happens (and, yes, it's always messy), it can be helpful to have a partner in this incredibly difficult yet doable work. As you move from less happy to more happy, you'll have an ally. Give me a relatively positive thought that your mind can embrace, and I will run with it. Calls are typically returned within two hours."

"It’s not necessary to be in crisis to seek counseling, but it’s often the push that we need to go deeper. Something wakes us from our auto pilot existence and we feel a hunger for self-examination. Whatever made you take this next step, I believe I can help. I know this can feel overwhelming...but its just another part of the journey. A search for your authentic self or for a balanced, healthy space to challenge yourself to grow and be more. You can be changed by this experience. You will find answers and more questions... But nothing changes & no discoveries are made without beginning...Read more at www.createamindfullife.com"

"If you find yourself struggling with feeling overwhelmed by so many life demands that you are unable to tend to your own needs, I can help you to recognize what is contributing to getting stuck and learn ways to get your life back. You may be immobilized by old, self-defeating habits, being driven by "shoulds", fears of being judged by others, or a general sense that taking time to take care of yourself will result in negative consequences. This likely impacts the quality of your relationships, health, and your sense of empowerment."

"At one time or another, we've all felt alone or paralyzed by our struggles. Life can be overwhelming and it can be difficult to identify how to begin changing our current situation. I'm glad you've made it here to my page. I have over 8 years of experience helping people find stability in life. I firmly believe that everyone has the capacity to grow and change, and should do so at their own pace. I also believe in empowering my clients by assisting them in identifying valuable tools to create meaningful and lasting change."

"People with Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes. If you are struggling adapting to a new diagnosis of diabetes, or with the rigors of long-standing diabetes self-management, you are not alone. Diabetes distress and burnout have been well-defined and are treatable. I consider your personal strengths and overall ways of handling adversity, and personalize your treatment."

"Hearing from the heart and seeking help with paralyzing personal challenges can be a daunting experience. Finding someone to connect with in the process of personal healing is half the battle to a solution. Keeping the person at the center of the therapeutic process is a goal for me. I have employed this approach for over 16 years of practice in Western NC. While this majestic mountain setting is a place of unique beauty it is not free of personal challenges that may need a calm and skilled approach to navigating life' s challenges."

"The messy, imperfect beauty of life inspires me. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing significant life transitions. Whether it be changing a career, ending or beginning an intimate relationship, facing grief or outgrowing particular patterns of behavior. I am here to witness, support and advocate for you. I also specialize in working with those raised in dysfunctional and/or alcoholic families. As a clinically trained contemplative psychotherapist, I am dedicated to supporting individuals in remembering and living their inherent worth, wildness and gifts. I provide insight-oriented, attachment-focused therapy that incorporates mindfulness and body-based awareness into sessions."

"You want to matter, be understood, feel closer to the people you love: You want to feel like you're enough, have purpose and direction, feel capable of not just keeping yourself together but thriving. I work with individuals who are suffering, not liking themselves, and making harmful decisions. I also work with couples who are desperate to find connection and put an end to their toxic communication. Being able to share meaningfully with others while carrying a deep knowing of your worth is at the core of feeling happy, satisfied, and empowered in your life."

"Judith Moolten is our treatment specialist. She is highly recommended for working with couples/families as well as individuals and groups who are stressed, arguing, having panic attacks, anxiety, depression, addictive habits, trauma, suffering w/ grief, loss and more. Her aim is to be short term and resolution-focused. "

"If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stressed or frustrated and don’t know what to do, either for yourself or your child, therapy can help. Taking this first step, by reaching out to an experienced counselor, will put you on the path towards creating a more meaningful and intentional life. The struggles of daily living can have a profound impact on fulfillment and leave you sometimes feeling incompetent and depleted. Juggling the demands of work, home, relationships and family can be exhausting. Learning to simplify, set boundaries and prioritize what is important is life-changing and sets the stage to shift from chaos to calm."

"Anxiety, Addiction, or Depression might have you feeling like you've lost touch with the life you really want. The daily struggle is exhausting and you just want to feel better already. You might feel alone in all this, but I promise you're not. I help people just like you learn concrete tools and strategies to achieve the life you want. It's ok if you aren't sure what you want. We can figure it out together and build a roadmap for how to get there. I believe that the most important thing that a client needs is a therapist who is nonjudgmental, compassionate, relatable, and down to earth - so I work hard to embody these qualities. "

"“I feel that the discovery of ones’ true self is the key to self liberation and understanding of self in relation to others.” Throughout Kristin’s training and experience she has worked with presenting issues such as couple/marital distress, divorce and/or separation, blended families, life-cycle transition issues, LGBTQ+ issues, sexual orientation, self-harming behaviors, maladaptive coping behaviors, depression, PTSD, BPD, Attachment injury and repairs, somatic experiencing, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorders, anger management, childhood sexual abuse, oversexualized behaviors, autism spectrum disorder and eating disorders. "

"We begin your treatment with the utmost respect for social environment, spiritual beliefs, physical health, economic and gender issues. Working together, we identify achievable goals using methods that you are comfortable with and can trust. I believe that all people have the potential to achieve their vision of a life that is full and successful despite and at times, because of, the trauma and limitations of their past. One of my teachers said to me that the therapist must be the holder of "Hope", and that is what I try to be for all of my clients. "

"I am passionate about supporting individuals who identify as women as they navigate the challenges of life. Addiction and recovery, relationship issues/co-dependence, chronic mental and physical dis-ease, and pregnancy/postpartum and parenting can bring us to places of deep loneliness, suffering and desperation. Past experiences have shaped our path and our behaviors. Brilliant strategies that enabled us to survive through trauma and adversity no longer serve us. It IS possible to shift those patterns. With loving connection and non-judgment I create a safe space for individuals to do the deep work that results in real life change."

"Emotional discomfort is possibly the hardest part of being human. Why do we need hurt, confusion, anger, and anxiety? Shouldn't it be easy to be happy, peaceful, and present? This awe-inspiring life could be full of wonder and joy! Yet it isn't always. And that’s not exactly something you can talk about easily with your loved ones. They might even disregard your attempts to get support. You might be wanting to focus on yourself right now, and it’s hard to change while others expect you to be the same. I will be pleased to hold your growth and change process. We can work with it in the way that is most comfortable for you. "

"I'm one of the select few who completed the Tony Robbins Coaches Academy. Like Tony Robbins' coaches, I'll utilize the DISC assessment to assist you in discovering the "how and why" you have certain behaviors that may be interfering with success in your relationships, careers and life transitions. We'll look at your strengths and growth areas based on your natural and adapted behavioral styles. With this self-knowledge, your blocks to a fulfilling life can be overcome. If mental health challenges are present, I will recommend we change venues to outpatient counseling."
