Domestic Abuse Therapists in Rutherford County, NC

Hello! Let's start with two important questions, what brought you here today? And how can I help? My style as a therapist is warm and inviting, with a healthy amount of empowerment to accomplish the goals you have set for yourself. I draw from a variety of theories and techniques centering around talk therapy and include a solution focused, mindfulness, strengths based, and nonjudgemental approach. I believe that in working together we can make progress and improvements in the areas you are seeking help with, at a pace that feels good to you. I treat each client as an individual and tailor my approach in ways that benefit you most!

Moore Professional Counseling is excited to announce availability for Telehealth appointments (individuals and families) living within North Carolina and South Carolina. My counseling experience stems from working with children and adults exposed to trauma/domestic violence and adult women coping with depression, etc. The effective use of counseling skills I possess enable me to provide successful service delivery to individuals from culturally diverse backgrounds.

I believe that therapy is meant to empower clients to feel that they are capable of change and living a fuller, more integrated life. I work with individuals, adolescents, couples, and families utilizing a bio-psycho-social-spiritual approach in therapy with the goal of creating a safe haven for clients. This simply means integrating the many parts of a person into therapy in the hope of improving one's emotional, spiritual and physical well-being.

Our lives can be a beautiful albeit messy adventure. Sometimes, we find ourselves struggling & need to reach out for help. I offer an encompassed approach to counseling, customizing the experience for adults, children, teens, families, & couples. If you are struggling with depression or are dealing with Autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, anxiety or self-esteem problems, we can chart a client specific course to wellness. If at home, you are dealing with issues in your marriage/partnership, Domestic Violence (verbal, physical, financial, or emotional abuse) or have suffered sexual trauma, we can work together to find safe solutions.

Racing thoughts? Having a hard time concentrating? Zero motivation? Stress in your relationship? Overwhelmed? Scared to ask or seek help? I get it. I will listen and help you learn effective tools that will begin your journey to feeling more in control and regaining the quality of life that is important to you. I have over 18 years of experience with mental health issues as well as substance abuse. I am available for a free phone consultation. We can work together to help you find the control and quality of life you are looking for. Please give me a call, it's the first step to feeling better! (+ EMDR for trauma related symptoms).

Wholeness leads to healing. I guide my clients to accept all parts of themselves and find balance in their lives. I entered the field of counseling with a passion for treating trauma (big T and little t trauma). Along the way I gathered some exceptional tools for doing so, including EMDR and a somatic approach to psychotherapy. Not so far removed from trauma, I have also developed a specialty in treating addiction of all kinds. I have seen the power of emotional healing to transform people's lives in ways they always wanted but didn't know how. I am here to help whenever the client is ready to do that brave and powerful work.

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.

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.

My practice is with clients seeking emotional well-being, a deeper sense of themselves, and an improved ability to cope with the distress that accompanies life's challenges and problems. My approach is shaped by the principle that we all have a basic need to feel safe and to know that we matter. My work is informed and guided by the knowledge that a significant number of people dealing with emotional/mental health problems, and many of those who use alcohol and/or drugs, have experienced some form of childhood or adult abuse, trauma, neglect, invalidation, or chaos.

I'm Terri Williams-Whiteside, therapist with Home for Family Intimacy. Any challenges making your/your family's life difficult? I want to support to you! It is my goal to not take over, but to guide you without judgement in setting & meeting the goals you desire. You are the boss, I assist. Some of the areas we may work on are: blending families, challenges of parenting/caregiving, cheating/infidelity, children’s behavior, communication, co-parenting, divorce/separation, family-conflict, grief, homelessness/displacement, incarceration, living with a mental-health diagnosis, medical diagnosis, partner intimacy, trauma & violence.

Making the decision to seek therapeutic services can be challenging, but choosing the right therapist should not be. I am passionate about helping people and often let individuals choose their own path to recovery while offering gentle guidance and direction for personal growth in all areas of life.
