Compassion Focused Therapists in Roebuck, SC

“The path isn't a straight line; it’s a spiral…” How is your spiral going, are you doing okay? Are things rough right now? I don't know your situation but I would love to stop and listen to your story. I know starting therapy can be hard, but please don't worry, I am just a person who wants to help where I can. Grab some coffee, tea, find somewhere comfy, and let's have a conversation, shall we? I believe that therapy is a place where both our difficult traumas and our challenges are discussed, as well as a place of healing that highlights the personal victories, and things that give us hope, and keep us going each day.

I have 15 years’ experience working with people of all ages in settings such as therapeutic foster care, social services, jails, inpatient, and outpatient mental health agencies. I use a variety of evidence-based techniques and resources to help people re-connect to existing strengths using CBT, DBT, EMDR and schema therapy. I am dedicated to helping you reach your goals, and aim to create space, time, and strength for you to share and process your experience.

I enjoy working with women, teens, and first responders in the areas of anxiety, stress, self-esteem, depression, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, trauma, and life transitions. It is within the context of our relationship with self and others that we find or lose balance. It can be hard communicating our feelings and needs with others in an effective way. I offer a whole person, mind-body approach to treatment within the context of a safe and trustworthy therapeutic relationship.

So, here's the thing. I know if you're looking for a therapist, you've probably read a million of these profiles, which is exhausting and stressful, so I'll try to be concise. I consider myself a kind of offbeat therapist. I relish in embracing the weird and alternative, I swear in session (if you're cool with it), and I have a habit of using esoteric metaphors.

Hi, I'm Lane! In my practice, I utilize creative arts, humor, and authenticity to help adolescents and adults navigate challenges related to self-esteem, identity, life transitions, depression, and anxiety. Whether you're dealing with a big move, new school, increased stress, anxiety symptoms, or exploring your identity, I will help you begin to heal and move through your pain. My aim is to meet you where you are on your journey and facilitate a process that fosters growth, joy, and healing.

Do you wish you could just have a little peace while going about your normal day? Are you sick of feeling frustrated or ashamed with constantly thinking about whether you are good enough? Maybe you know that life could be different, but are not sure about how or who to reach out to for support. You are not alone. You, just like your friends, family, and every other person on the planet, are worthy of love, belonging, and freedom to live your life without basing your worth on how you look, past trauma, what you eat, or what you assume others think.

There are places inside we would rather hide from, places we may have failed or lacked courage, experienced a trauma or deep pain. You can’t go there alone. You need a place where you can work through it all. In our sessions we will build an alliance to dig deeper into who you are and find insight for new perspective and renewed strength. If you are a couple, I will help you work through the barriers that stifle your relationship.

Let's get to the root cause, not just treat your symptoms? You CAN heal from stress, trauma, and break free from habits and patterns that keep you stuck! I will support you along your unique path of life so you can manifest everything you are intended to be. My approach to the healing proces is integrative and holistic, and highly regards the the connection between mind, body and spirit. We will be proactive and empowering when it comes to your mental health and wellness, designing a plan unique to you. My practice is influenced by Attachment and Polyvagal theory and I am Level 2 trained in Holographic Memory Resolution Therapy.

Our childhood wounds don’t just go away. They shape the way our nervous system responds to stress, the way we seek connection, & the meaning we make of our experiences. Many people don’t even realize how much their past affects them, especially if they never suffered any horrific trauma. But let me tell you what you may notice instead. Your heart and mind races for no reason at all. You react defensively rather than responding calmly. You keep thinking about what you “should” do rather than what you NEED. You work so hard but still feel empty. It’s never enough.

"Working toward clarity and balance at home and work." I believe insight plus action makes for positive changes. I have a great appreciation and respect for my clients as they use their resources and tap into their inner strength and wisdom toward setting goals and making positive changes. Therapy is about making changes and it is my honor to help my clients find their personal path toward their goals. The more I can help a person be connected and honest with themselves, the more they will make decisions, take action, and reach their destination toward their most authentic, happy self.

Are you going through a difficult time of loss or upheaval and change? Do you have strained or troubled relationships, painful or difficult thoughts or emotions? Are you looking to be more creative or maybe just seeking to live a more fulfilling life? I work with clients to help them live and love with increased creativity and insight. I offer targeted, evidence-based therapy to help those with troubling thoughts and emotions adjust effectively and move on. I have experience in treating trauma, anxiety, and depression as well as helping individuals working through mid-life or late-life transitions.

You may wonder how can Cindy Cartee help me? Help us? (VIDEOS AVAILABLE) www.ccarteecounseling.com. I will help you prepare (pre-marital), repair (affair recovery or reconnection due to other issues), enrich/enhance (re-romanticize) your relationships. I will help you understand why you fell in love with your partner, how to work through frustrations in your relationship, and how to reconnect and love more deeply. I work with individuals and couples dealing with a range of issues. I especially enjoy working with relationship issues. I love helping people feel more loved, whether that it is loving yourself or your partner.

Making a choice to embark on a journey towards healing takes courage. Talking to someone about infidelity, sex, and addiction takes even more. These topics can cause isolation, shame, and hopelessness, whether it's love and relationship issues, infidelity, pornography addictions, or sexually compulsive behaviors. Additionally, partners, spouses, or family members may experience trauma, grief, or isolation caused by these behaviors. There is hope and a path that can lead to a healthy and fulfilling life, leading to inner peace and understanding.

"Whatever you do hold onto hope, my friend. The tiniest thread will twist into an unbreakable cord. Let hope anchor you in the possibility that this is not the end of your story, that hope will anchor you onto peaceful shores."-unknown. Helping individuals and families thrive is my passion as I believe that we are all inherently capable of healing and even thriving from challenging situations and painful life transitions. Leading people to their unique path for healing and understanding their own power and pain is an honor I cherish.

Do you struggle with negative thoughts, memories or emotions you can't seem to change or get rid of? Do you want to develop a healthier relationship with yourself, food or exercise? You are not alone and there are ways to help. With a combination of personal experience, advanced education and practical experience in higher levels of care, I have dedicated myself to a career in helping individuals facing challenges with eating disorders, body image and trauma. My commitment is to offer comprehensive and person-centered therapy to address client's individual needs, help them gain clarity over their life values and achieve life goals.

My counseling philosophy is that all clients are unique and must have an inclusive and accepting environment where they can grow emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. It is my desire to create the type of mutually respectful atmosphere that makes room for clients to be active participants in change, improved communication, and increased self-awareness. I provide a safe space where clients are invited to share ideas, take risks, feel heard -and sometimes challenged- in the way they currently experience life. “People are not problems to be solved, they are mysteries to be explored”. EH Peterson

I have a passion for working with teens and young adults that are working through their journey of self-discovery. Whether that means you’re trying to find your place in the LGBTQ+ community or trying to figure out career plans and goals for your life. I am here to help you gain clarity and insight out of what can be very overwhelming emotions.

Many days, pressure from others’ expectations can be mentally, physically & emotionally draining. It seems you are never good enough, always pushing toward perfection. Working hard, putting time in day and night, struggling to perform at work, school, home, with sports, family and peers. This can lead to overwhelming amounts of stress, fear, sadness, conflict, and irritability, impacting choices made. You want to feel valued and accepted, and are told to be mentally tough and stay strong. On the inside you are nervous, and fear failure. Outside pressure can be overwhelming, bringing feelings of self doubt, and fear.
