Therapists in Sparta, NC

Do you find yourself being sad, mad, irritable, scared or just no longer joyful? Stress and emotional pain certainly impact performance, interpersonal relationship, physical and mental health. Chronic stress and emotional pain can lead to symptoms of depression, anxiety, grief, behavior complications and misguided coping through substances. This contributes to conflict with friends and family. Situations you once could manage become overwhelming.

Life’s challenges can be overwhelming, and sometimes we need help. Perhaps you're experiencing a life transition or feel disconnected and find it hard to manage your emotions. Our thoughts, feelings and behaviors influence every area of our lives, often negatively impacting our relationships, our work and self-care. Seeking support is a significant first step in honoring your need for growth and change. I offer a safe place to be heard and understood and collaboratively we will identify therapeutic goals. I affirm clients from all backgrounds, gender expression/identity, sexual orientation, race, culture, and ability status.

In my 30 years of clinical experience I have been able to help people from all walks of life find relief from a wide variety of psychological and behavioral problems. My areas of speciality include: anxiety disorders, including obsessive compulsive disorder (using CBT & exposure/response prevention), trichotillomania, compulsive skin picking, other OC spectrum disorders, panic disorder, phobias, generalized anxiety disorder, PTSD, and social phobias; mood disorders, including depression and bipolar disorder; sexual addiction; situational problems. I have been trained in a variety of therapeutic modalities, incuding cognitive behavioral therapy, humanistic therapies, EMDR, and mindfulness approaches to therapy.

When the intensity of painful feelings, the persistent chatter and/or stories in our minds become paralyzing; when worry or rumination interferes with sleep or functioning; when the depression and/or anxieties constrict life; when disempowerment and feeling overwhelmed drain energies and self-esteem; when feeling stuck, miserable and/or afraid is too familiar; when fears and uncertainties rob you of a vital life, it is important to know that you may expect from me radical acceptance, full attention, compassionate listening, active participation, extensive knowledge plus experience, to assist, support and facilitate the creative journey for renewed passion for life.

I am interested in your story and feel privileged to provide a caring presence for adults and couples who are seeking liberation from patterns of thinking and behaving that have led to suffering. I believe all people have inherent strengths, and that our work together can lead to new ways of understanding that will result in a life lived more fully. Perhaps you are interested in pre-marital counseling, are ready to consider issues in your relationships, or address and treat anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress. If so, I would like to help you.

My website - www.taylorhouchens.com - I specialize in working with boys, teenagers, men, women, and families. If this is you, it is my goal to help you overcome the barriers and problems in your life that are keeping you from experiencing the freedom you are desiring. Often times, these problems are the result of trauma from childhood that is still unresolved. Perhaps you're experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, sexual abuse, PTSD, addiction (sexual, drug/alcohol, work), lack of self confidence, family issues, relationship difficulties, negative coping habits, physical or auto-immune disorders, or more. If so, I can help.

You've just taken the first step in a journey to the New Life you deserve. The thought of finding a counselor you trust, feel safe and comfortable with can be a little scary, but so is the alternative: living with frustration, pain, fear and confusion...with no end in sight. I'm always amazed at the courage of my clients as they move from a painful existence to one of hope & joy and with confidence that they have the tools needed to create the life they want. Don't wait another day. Your New Life is waiting!

It is my passion to help people help themselves using a holistic approach to address the whole person. Sometimes we get so caught up in the details of life that we have difficulty seeing the big picture. Counseling can help you get more out of life, help you reach your goals and work through challenges and move forward to create and live the life you desire. Stress, anxiety, phobias, depression and life transitions are just some of the issues that I typically address within my practice.

I work with adults struggling with relationship issues, addiction, depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Many of my clients are high performers who have become successful despite a difficult childhood.

I use elements of EMDR therapy in my approach. I am kink allied and sex positive. I invite you to come as you are. I will respect, support, and encourage you during our time in therapy.

I work primarily with those who are battling depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). If this is you, you are not alone. Estimates of those who fight this battle every day are as high as 40 million or 18.1% of adults annually.
