Therapists in Cedar Mountain, NC

I believe that making time for therapy is giving yourself and those around you a gift. A nonjudgmental curiosity about the self will allow you to understand with greater clarity what you want your life to look like. . . and to make that intention your reality.

Life can be difficult and confusing. I am here to help you sort through the pain to find hope and healing for the days ahead. The hurt can be deep, going back to earliest memories or coming from present hardships. Counseling you is about establishing a safe place, a loving environment of grace. My tools come from my training and from 33 years of experience, but each person is exquisitely unique, so no therapeutic relationship is the same as any other. It is an honor and privilege to share deeply in your life and the lives of your family. At present, because of a recent move to another state, I am connecting only online or by cell.

My clients are adults, adolescents, and children who need help coping with anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, abuse, educational/employment situations, family dynamics, or other problems impacting their mental health. Though I practice Cognative Behavioral Therapy, I employ a variety of methods including "talk therapy", EMDR, sand therapy, and play therapy, depending upon individual need. I strive to provide unconditional acceptance and support to my clients as they work to achieve their counseling goals. I accept Medicaid and most private insurance.

Do you ever wake up and wonder, "How did I get here?" or "Why did this have to happen to me?" Maybe you wish your life looked differently but are not sure how to get there. We all have "things" we need to process, but my experience is that we often get “stuck in a rut” with how we approach problems. We need a new perspective or another person to help us process our "stuff” - someone who can ask us questions to help us to see things from a different vantage point or to help us rewrite our stories with hope, purpose, and excitement. My desire is to help people see how the “stuff” in their lives can be used in amazing ways.

In a busy and often disconnected world, it's easy to feel lost, lonely, and overwhelmed. Even when surrounded by people, you can find yourself wondering if anyone really understands you. You may even feel it's difficult to understand yourself. I know it can be scary, exhausting, and confusing to face whatever your troubles are, but there's hope and there's help for you. I give individuals and couples a safe place to feel heard and understood as we face your difficulties as a team. You'll have a caring and experienced professional walking alongside you as you explore and overcome the issues that hold you back and hurt you.

Counseling is such meaningful and rewarding work and I am so grateful that I get to do it. My goal is to always be growing as a person right alongside you and to always approach my work with a sense of openness and curiosity rather than judgment. After all, we’re just two humans talking about being human. My hope is that you can learn to further embrace your humanness and leave behind your shame in the process. While talk therapy can be extremely valuable, I recognize that there are some problems that conventional talk therapy can’t quite reach, which is why I typically use a more experiential, trauma-focused approach to counseling.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, looking for direction, or caught in repetitive thoughts, behaviors, or relationships that no longer serve you? Then you are exactly where you're supposed to be! I firmly believe that every moment presents an opportunity for growth. My approach to therapy is rooted in this belief, guiding individuals toward self-discovery, healing, and growth.

Stress and struggle are universal in nature; we all face obstacles and barriers that sometimes feel insurmountable. My goal, as a therapist, is to help my clients find more effective ways to cope with the issues they face in their daily lives. Whether that issue is related to your family, spouse, school, career, or past trauma, there are ways to move through adversity and find a way to exist peacefully within your world. Areas of focus include mood disorders, anxiety, PTSD, grief, emotion regulation, anger management parenting skills, couples and family therapy.

Hi there, I'm Rachel. I own a private practice in the small town of Lenoir, NC. I have been in mental health for over twenty years, most recently as Clinical Director of a local group practice. I work best with individuals dealing with symptoms of trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, adjustment issues, and other life concerns. I offer individual, couple, and family counseling for anyone who is willing to embrace a new perspective and put in the work it takes to heal and grow. Together we can determine what it will take to better yourself, your relationships, and move forward on your path in life.

One of the bravest things you can do is to explore your own patterns and notice the ways they do or do not serve you. Maybe you keep hitting the same wall in your relationship to your self and with others. Maybe anxiety is controlling you or you feel disempowered in your daily life. I commit to support you in noticing your strengths and finding compassion for your stumbles. Together we will grow joy and presence in your life, while learning to attend to, and possibly resolve, unhelpful feelings and patterns. I believe in finding space to be ok in our humanness, while also staying accountable for telling ourselves the truth.

My passion in life is supporting you to become your most authentic, joyous self. I believe you already have a wellspring of wisdom and clarity within, and I take great pleasure in helping you clear the way to your own inner guidance. As a proud, openly transgender woman, I find fulfillment in working with individuals and couples on transition and identity issues, communication, codependency, relational/cultural/ancestral trauma, gender, sexuality, poly/non-monogamy, depression, addiction, anxiety, psychedelic integration, and spirituality. Perhaps the path isn't quite clear, yet you're ready to take a step towards something better.

Welcome! Psychologists in my practice are accepting new clients! You are creative, live life consciously, and have enjoyed success in many areas of life. You juggle your career, family, and friends. But it's not easy, is it? In fact, it's impossible when you feel stressed out and the imbalance is contributing to anxiety or depression that you may be experiencing. I'll help you find more balance and experience greater joy and harmony in your life. For couples, I will help you feel more deeply respected and honored by one another. Together, we'll reduce the conflict and tension in your relationship and bring back the fun and romance.

Hello, Thank you for visiting my page. I have worked with people who have experienced trauma, depression, unresolved grief, addiction, anxiety, loss, and life transitions. I work collaboratively with my clients, while being supportive and dedicated to their increased well being. My approach to therapy is to be genuine, open, honest, supportive, and curious. I view psychotherapy as a framework for identifying, understanding, and working through problems that cause people to feel stuck, helpless or insecure about their lives. Ultimately, I consider the goal of psychotherapy as empowering others to reach aspired levels of purpose.

I am now accepting tele therapy clients, My specialty is in individual, couples and family therapy. With over 30 years of experience as a marriage and family therapist, I work with a broad spectrum of clients. My practice has evolved in these years to a more present-moment approach that heals wounds of the past. Therapy is about bringing awareness and action to change what doesn't work in our lives. At any given moment we have a choice and it is this choice that is at the core of my work.

My passion is working with individuals who have suffered from the consequences of making high risk decisions. These decisions have resulted in legal, medical, and interpersonal dilemmas. I use a focused, solution-oriented approach designed to explore the context within which these decisions and associated patterns of behavior have become impractical and repetitive. We will explore alternative problem-solving approaches that incorporate mindfulness, paradox, metaphor, and contingency management. My background involves working with individuals/couples/families in crisis.

I work with males between the ages of 13 through adulthood either in-person or virtual. I particularly like helping dads navigate fatherhood. With school-aged young men we work on friend/relationship concerns, home life, gaining independence, parental divorce, loss, school life, and what to do after high school. With adult men and dads I help them find balance with family, work, and friend issues as they navigate this new role. Finding space and maintaining energy apart from the family unit without guilt while fostering positive masculinity is tough to learn, but necessary to be more present with the self as well as partners & kids.

My areas of focus include: mindfulness, trauma, adolescence, family systems, parenting and co-parenting relationships, ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, life changes, stress management, existential matters, and personal growth.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! With over 35 years of mental health and substance abuse counseling experience, I believe that anyone can make changes necessary to improve their mood, relationships, and quality of life. My focus is on helping you, your partner, and your family implement practical strategies to solve problems, reach goals, and create lasting change. Areas of focus include helping couples improve communication and avoid patterns which result in conflict, and helping people with behavior, anger, or mood issues. I work with you in a safe, compassionate, and confidential environment, and respect of your needs and desires.

Maybe you’re struggling with feelings of sadness or disconnection, or you can’t quite figure out why things are so difficult right now. Navigating life in general is hard and it takes courage to seek help. I’m so glad you’re here. Taking the first step towards therapy can feel overwhelming and scary.
