Experiential Therapy in 38104

I believe connection to self & others is central to human life. As a result, I prioritize cultivating a secure, therapeutic relationship characterized by safety, authenticity, & consistency. From this base, I have the honor of supporting clients as they foster a deep level of restoration & growth. I have worked with a variety of individuals across multiple settings, guiding them on a healing journey from familial/relational dysfunction, grief/loss, attachment wounds, & various forms of dependency (chemical & process), among other things.

Greetings! My name is Logan, and it is a pleasure for me to assist you along your therapeutic journey. I provide psychotherapy to all ages and specialize in addressing and providing assistance to minority populations. I believe every individual is born with a set of cards reflective of their personal experiences. It is my job to assist you in playing your hand in the best way possible. Therapy in and of itself can come across as daunting and, at times, a little bit uncomfortable. However, I take great pride in fostering a healthy and calming therapeutic alliance with my clients and I hope I can do the same for you!

To the ones who struggle to love themselves because the voice in their head keeps telling them not to. To the adults who carry the scars of a rough childhood and the shame that comes with it. To the ones who seem like they have it all together, but are hiding their struggles with anxiety and depression behind a joke and smile. To the ones who were never taught how to deal with grief, anger, sadness, or fear and are coping the best way they know how. To the ones who were disowned or rejected by families or friends for who you love, who you are, or what you believe. I see your strength, I see your pain, and I see your courage.

I work with clients that present with a variety of issues - depression, anxiety, addiction - often stemming from underlying issues with codependency, low self-worth, family of origin issues, and unresolved trauma. I see individuals, couples, and adolescents. If appropriate, I like working with clients in a group setting where peer support and identification with others help clients feel less misunderstood, alone or different.

Do you work too much but don't feel like you do enough? Can't leave the office? Find it hard to relax in healthy ways? Do you have dreams? What did you want to do when you were a little kid? Have you met your goals for yourself? Do you have nightmares? Rigid behaviors you would like to change? I can help you to understand yourself better. In doing so you can learn to access your internal powers to make changes in your life. I can help you discover and affirm your unique self.

My ideal client is ready for a change. They are someone who is looking for support with life stress and anxiety, adjusting to a life transition, feeling stuck, or wanting to grow themself. My client's goals might include learning to better manage stress and anxiety, finding their voice or direction, setting boundaries, growing self-worth, or creating new healthy patterns. They might want help with communication in the workplace and at home. They might want to start thriving in life and relationships and start healing from barriers in the past. I am currently receiving training in Somatic Experiencing (traumahealing.org).

I would love to explore and assist you in aligning your attractor field with your authentic self. You can shift your daily experiences by uncovering what your deepest desire is attracting and manifesting in life. Are you ready to consciously meet your needs rather than allowing hidden imprints and beliefs to create repeating loops. Many symptoms of mental health including past trauma, addictive tendencies, and relationship issues can create a loss of hope and loss of excitement about life. I will assist you in clearing a path for your next chapter in the book of life.

We often come to a crossroads in our lives, a time when staying where we are is no longer sustainable, yet we are not clear on how to do something different, or how to start down a new path. Many of us learned early on to only show aspects of ourselves that were “acceptable;” we learned which traits earned us love and cultivated those, but relinquished many others. Healing is a journey back to ourselves, a journey back our essence and back to who we were before we learned we were not enough.

Imagine this: You wake up feeling lighter, free from worries that used to consume you. You prioritize your own needs and stop putting everyone else's first. You trust your intuition to guide you through any emotional wave. Healthy boundaries become effortless and you confidently express your truth. Anxious attachments that once drained your energy transform into secure relationships that nourish your soul. You break free from generational patterns and claim your gifts. What if this didn't need to take years of therapy? It's time to embody the joy you long for and release blocks through mind, body, and spirit connection.

Rachel Held Evans wrote that "we live inside an unfinished story." Are you lacking clarity about what you want to do with your life? Did you have a difficult or confusing childhood, and now struggle with connection to others? Did you experience a traumatic event or relationship that has been difficult to overcome on your own? Do you struggle in relationships and wonder why you have the same problems time and time again? Do you have a chronic illness and experience the emotional pain, disappointment, and despair it can bring? If any of this resonates with you, I can help you write the rest of your story.

There is no substitute for compassion in the counseling relationship. I believe in a whole-person approach. This means that everything is relevant: family of origin, unwanted life events, current relationships, physical health and well being, and everyday coping challenges. I assist my clients with life transitions, grief, early childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, chronic pain, relationship challenges, and spiritual issues. I endorse and have expertise in mindfulness-based practices and 12+ years of Hospice experience. Strengths: trusting relationships with my clients.

Life presents us with many unexpected challenges that can leave us feeling hurt, lonely, anxious and stressed. Maybe you are struggling with insecurity, uncertainty or a lack of direction. In times of distress, it can be difficult to share with anyone, let alone someone you’ve never met. Building a relationship is the most important step in the counseling process and hinges on empathy, respect and safety within the therapy office. Healing happens when we feel fully accepted while being vulnerable and authentic. This can only be achieved through a strong therapeutic alliance. In this space, you will be welcomed, heard and supported.

Struggling with making decisions? Trouble sleeping yet struggling to get out of bed? Overthinking about the future but also worried about the past? Seeking a therapist who understands your daily struggles? I enjoy working with people who are ready to feel better - who commit to the process of helping themselves. I understand the stressors that you deal with because I have successfully dealt with some of those same stressors myself which along with my training make me qualified to assist you on your journey to a healthier you. I offer creative interventions and guidance based on your specific circumstances and needs.
