Therapists in Charlotte, NC

I am passionate about improving the lives of children and their families by collaborating with parents and children to help them meet their goals. I work with children of all ages to address difficulties including anxiety, ADHD, OCD, depression, anger management, school difficulties, social skills, and behavioral problems. In order to help clients achieve clarity about their strengths and challenges, I specialize in comprehensive evaluations for children from birth through adolescence. Assessments can provide information about learning/academic achievement, developmental delays, kindergarten readiness, giftedness, attention/ADHD, behavior, or social/emotional vulnerabilities.

Are you feeling burnt out or frustrated with ongoing addictions, anxiety, OCD, depression, trauma, stress, marriage communication and stress? Have you ever felt like it's difficult to find a trusted person that is safe and willing to truly listen to your concerns? I believe CHANGE can only occur when we feel valued, encouraged, understood and SAFE to work through the difficulties of life. If you are looking for professional, clinical therapy from a Christian perspective then please feel free to reach out. I believe that God is our ultimate healer and invite Him into therapy with you!

Do you struggle with balancing the demands of life while maintaining peace and balance within yourself? Do you find it difficult to talk to family and friends for fear of being misunderstood or judged? Have you hesitated to seek assistance from a helping professional due to stigma? Are you experiencing feelings of being overwhelmed, worn out, sad, anxious, ashamed, or at a loss for words to describe your mood? A Place for Peace, is a safe place that promotes hope, rejuvenation, healing, and transformation. The goal is to partner with you to work through whatever is standing in the way of your best life. Sometimes the tools we have used in the past stop working. Let's work to refresh your current coping strategies and explore gaining new ones. I don’t want to just sit and rehash your life story, I want to ensure you gain practical tools that assist you in shedding the negative effects of your life experiences on all levels... mind, body, and spirit.

My practice as a clinician focuses on eating disorders/disordered eating, perinatal mental health, and helping individuals who identify as "highly sensitive." Clients typically come to me wanting to heal their relationship with food and their body and understand their sensitivities to overstimulation and anxiety. I help my clients begin to notice the ways in which their past experiences impact their current experience of safety and dysregulation.

Are you a parent struggling to understand, talk to, or help your teen with mental illness? Are you a teen or young adult who feels lost, lonely, unmotivated, or afraid? I would love to help you find confidence, direction, peace, and the ability to LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST. With 13 years of experience, I have found a strong passion for working with adolescents and young adults. I enjoy helping my clients gain a better understanding of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and how they are connected. I especially enjoy helping teens and parents strengthen their relationship and ability to communicate.

As a parent, you find yourself constantly exhausted and overwhelmed. You feel like your child(ren) has been your only priority. You feel like everyone around you is an expert at parenthood. However, you now realize that you need to make time for yourself and your personal interests. This has left you feeling conflicted. You may feel guilty about this desire. But you no longer want to allow outside expectations of motherhood to hold you back and leave you feeling hopeless. You’re ready to live on your own terms. Together, let's make this possible!

Clients motivated to make change or enhance their interpersonal skills and relationships are my forte. I like working with clients of all ages on family relationships, interpersonal skills, parenting and co-parenting, anxiety/depression management, creativity and personal growth. I also have extensive experience working with domestic violence and trauma victims and adoptive families. I employ experiential techniques to enhance communication and understanding throughout the healing and growth process. I also provide Child Specialist services for collaborative/cooperative divorce candidates and parent coaching/consultation.

I enjoy working with individuals navigating a range of challenges including anxiety, eating disorders, trauma, low self-esteem and negative body image. With over seven years of experience working with survivors of trauma, I strive to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to process the impact of their life experiences on who they are today. No matter what your struggle may be, you don't have to face it alone. I am here to provide support to empower you on your journey to healing and freedom.

It is normal for any relationship to have ups and downs, but you do not have to stay stuck in a cycle of negativity. Are you at a crossroads in your marriage or partnership? Are you dealing with past or present unhealthy family dynamics? If so, couples or family counseling can help. Problems in relationships can vary, as can the perspective of those problems. As a licensed counselor, I will assist you in your journey of working through your concerns, learning to communicate effectively, actively listening to your loved one's point of view, and navigating out of your current circumstances toward the life that you desire.

"I'm okay. Everything's alright". You tell yourself this repetitively while withholding tears and smiling for everyone else. You secretly struggle to believe what God says about you. Some days you feel so alone. You battle to feel loved and good enough to be the person God created you to be. Anxiety, depression, fear, grief, loss, shame and trauma have become emotional strongholds. Life seems to keep coming and you feel depleted. You ultimately want to live in freedom in your mind, no longer enslaved by the pain of the past, comparison, and even fear that your future will be failure. You desire to sense hope and fulfillment again.

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina.

DS&M is a private practice dedicated to providing professional individual and and family therapy for adults, adolescents and children to help with life changes, problems in relationships and mental health issues. Our clinicians are licensed mental health professionals with experience treating a variety of issues.

Hello! I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC).

One thing is for certain, all of us at one point or another, will need help from somebody else. To seek out someone to help is not a weakness...it is a strength. This means that you are already on the road to recovery. I can help you with the rest, and together we can overcome any obstacle.

Have you been feeling a little down lately? Anxious, frustrated, and/or depressed about a current or past situation? As if you’ve lost sight of the person, you are or want to be. As we grow though life, we can expect challenges and changes. However, our perspective of those situations can dictate our emotional or behavioral responses. Let's begin to move forward, step by step. Let's partner together. First, we will build a trusting therapeutic relationship, then I will cultivate a safe space of understanding, healing, and growth, through evidence-based practices in hopes of you becoming the best version of yourself.

I am trained as a medical family therapist and enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families. Clients dealing with relationship issues, current and/or past family conflict, chronic / invisible illness, immune / autoimmune / sleep disorders, adjusting to new diagnoses, caregiver fatigue, and having to work when you are ill and/or grieving tend to find my approach both different and helpful. I have experienced these issues myself and am familiar with the challenges they create in our personal and professional lives. I focus on helping clients cope with these difficulties in the context of our most valued relationships.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, addiction, confusion, self doubt, and defeat? Do you feel like you need someone who can truly listen to you, hear what your struggles are, and partner with you to help bring some clarity and resolution to the current season of life? I believe in speaking life into people and to their current situations while helping you work towards feeling and becoming whole again. I understand that life can bring some confusing and unwanted situations, feelings, thoughts, regrets and barriers that keep you from being whole and through therapy, I would like to be a resource and support for you.

My practice focuses on supporting individuals who are dealing with transition, life evaluation, chronic illness, loss and change. I have had the privilege of working with individuals who are dealing with caring for both children and aging parents, caring for a spouse or loved one or grieving the loss of an individual or relationship. I have also found that families benefit from dialogue regarding changes in roles within the family system as members get older and more/less dependent. Additionally, some of my clients come to counseling to work through the age old question of "What am I doing with my life?".

Are you a new mom or dad, anxious and stressed by this major role change you have taken on in life? Do you feel exhausted trying to keep up with daily tasks, and overwhelmed trying to juggle all the life throws at you? Becoming a parent can lead to the dreaded mom-guilt, constantly questioning your choices, and feeling unsure about your identity. Not to mention the challenge of juggling other relationships while prioritizing your children's' needs. It can be difficult to work through all the challenges that occur in life, leading you to feel drained emotionally and physically, or feeling like you are failing.
