Therapists in Monroe, NC

We all need PEACE. Peace within our environment, with our significant others, within our families, and within ourselves. What if I told you that peace begins with adversity, pain, boundaries, and tears...Doesn't sound fun does it? However, at the other end of all of that is an entire garden of peace that you will learn to keep healthy and thriving. We want to help you find this place. This place lives deep inside of you, suffocating under trauma, depression, anxiety, and distressing thoughts. Let's take this step together! All it takes is one phone call. Our Peace Matters!

"To get thru the hardest journey, we need take only one step at a time, but we must keep on stepping" As your counselor my aim is to provide a safe and supportive environment where we can collaborate and work together at your own pace to help you reach your goals. Sometimes our past hurts and thoughts come with us like a friend we've told to "get lost", however everywhere we look it's there. If the past continues to be in your present I can help. If you have difficulty expressing your thoughts and emotions, I can help. If you're stuck, I can help. All it takes is one phone call.

At Sanctuary Counseling Group, we believe in creating therapeutic relationships with our clients that promote the healing of heart, mind, and soul. What is most important to me is that those who come to me for treatment can feel safe, build trust to be who they are, and can focus on making themselves, their relationships, their marriage and family life better. It is always important to me to simply meet and accept people where they are and to partner with them on a journey to where they hope to be. Those who come for treatment deserve to feel understood, respected, and cared for along the way.

Is it starting to feel like stress and anxiety are running your life? Are you pretty sure that you are keeping it together on the outside, but deep down, you feel like you're constantly on edge, like you're not measuring up, or letting people down? You really need a day off, but nobody would ever guess it because you are the picture of ‘I’m fine. Everything is fine.’ You are the first to jump at a chance to help someone else because the possibility of letting someone down is just too much. Your friends and family describe you as organized, detail-oriented, and maybe even perfectionistic; however, you feel like you are a mess inside.

Each person has a unique path and reasons which lead them to therapy. It can be both scary and empowering to enter into therapy: I want to commend you for your strength in taking this step and encourage you in your process. My name is Michaela, and I recognize that therapy is a process—one which I would be honored to be a part of should you choose to invite me into your life’s journey.

Hello, my name is Meikayla Williams I am a Graduate student-intern at Liberty University, obtaining a master’s degree in clinical Mental Health Counseling. I am a goal-oriented professional with five years of Behavioral Health experience and 8+ years of Client advocacy skills. I am dedicated to advocacy and the development of individuals and families.

Everyone has an individual story with experiences that make them unique. There is not one answer that fits all. Many times in life we get stuck and are not sure where to turn. We misplace hope, and life gets out of focus. In these times we need support and encouragement to help us realign our lives and discover what we desperately need to find fulfillment and success. I believe that the counseling journey is one in where both the counselor and the client work together to discover a better sense of self in relationship with others, while growing a more intimate connection with God. Hope is found in true healing and wholeness.

I believe that therapy can help a person navigate through life challenges. I believe in providing a trusting, nurturing, and nonjudgmental environment where people can find and be their best selves.

It is an honor to have the opportunity to help my clients through their most challenging times and I hope to have the opportunity to help you.

Nothing has the ability to stop life and wear you out more than when you are not able to get back on your feet or continue to push past the pain. At some point we all break. Have you pushed so hard and you just can’t get back to the old you? Or maybe the old you is not who you want to envision for your future.
