Family Therapy in 27707

Accepting New Clients - I work with people navigating issues of Anxiety, OCD, Life Transitions, Depression, Trauma, Identity, Self-esteem, and Relationships. I will work with you to emphasize acceptance, mindfulness, self-compassion, and using values to move toward a healthier well-being. I have experience working in outpatient community mental health, hospital, college, and the private practice settings. My self interests include backpacking, playing music, burritos, naps, documentaries, procrastination, attending concerts, gardening, and time with family and friends.

At Carolina Sexual Wellness Center, we strive to provide a supportive and safe environment where clients can resolve issues related to sex, sexuality and gender. Examples of areas we specialize in include but are not limited to sexual dysfunction, compulsive or impulsive sexual behavior (also known as "sex addiction"), couples and relationship issues surrounding sexuality, sexual identity development, gender orientation concerns, and sexual behaviors or fantasies that may be considered problematic. Although many people with sexual problems feel alone, it is important to know you are not.

Welcome. I am a psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience in helping people of all ages, nationalities, races, gender expressions and sexual identities. My clients find me easy to talk to and my style is warm, non-judgmental and relational. I have a particular expertise in helping couples with issues such as infidelity, arguments, lack of communication and connection and dwindling sexual expression. For this work I draw on Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy by Susan Johnson see "Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love." I also use the work of the Gottman Institute, Harville Hendrix and Stan Tatkin.

You deserve excellent therapy. My clients describe me as authentic, humorous, engaged, insightful, brave, creative, well resourced, experienced, non-judgmental and effective. People I work with have a desire to heal and create their lives as a reflection of their values and unique perspectives. With couples, I use PACT, EFT and Gottman approaches to support the couple on their goals, in a safe space, where honesty and authenticity lead the way.

Each of us at some point in our lives face painful life situations and challenges, some of which we can navigate alone, but others requiring help. Sometimes family and friends can provide that support but many times having a non-biased perspective is more appropriate and effective. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I use appropriate psychological methods used within the field of mental health professionals and add the insights of Biblical Truth to help those who are hurting and facing such situations effectively overcome them and move forward to experience a more purposeful and satisfying and life.

Finding balance in an evolving world full of social and emotional obstacles can be exhausting. Through traditional talk therapy or art therapy interventions, we’ll work together to regain your emotional equilibrium and practice strategies to ease discomfort in social settings. My approach to therapy with children, adolescents and adults is warm, creative, and direct. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and a Board Certified Art Therapist, I specialize in the treatment of anxiety, depression, eating disorders, body image and self worth, grief and loss, and navigating life transitions.

Hi, my name is Kate, and I'm glad you're here. I work with folks of all ages who are experiencing eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, and family of origin issues. I am particularly passionate about working with queer and trans individuals, women, and older adults. I am deeply committed to maintaining an anti-racist, feminist, and neurodiversity-affirming lens, and incorporating a systems perspective to explore your experience in context of oppressive systems.

We enjoy working with clients who seek to engage their spiritual questions and challenges in the midst of the therapeutic journey. Our clients come from a variety of life histories and family backgrounds, but share in common a desire to discover a more hopeful perspective on life, while exercising specific skills and practices to make hope concrete on a daily basis. Our therapists are accustomed to mutual collaboration to serve the needs of children, adolescents, and their families in one setting.

I believe in meeting my clients where they are and assisting them in moving towards their goals. I take a holistic treatment approach that considers the mind, body, and environment as well as emotional well being to achieve healthy functioning. Empathy, respect, and authenticity are at the foundation of my interactions with clients. I have effectively worked with adults, adolescents, and children in overcoming emotional and behavioral obstacles through the use of CBT, solution-focused strategies, play therapy, and skills training.

As a psychodynamic and attachment oriented therapist, I believe that the foundation of therapeutic treatment is a safe and supportive relationship between therapist and client. The process of treatment often uses the therapeutic relationship itself to uncover relational patterns from earlier in life that may be causing pain or dysfunction in the present day. By identifying the historical antecedent to a seemingly confusing or inappropriate emotional response, client and therapist are able to disrupt maladaptive patterns and choose new, more values congruent responses.

Gen Xers, ya'll doing okay? People raising kids, what about you? Parents of trans, nonbinary, and gender expansive young or older people, how are you holding up? Those of you trying to recover from narcissistic abuse, domestic abuse or IPV, those of you trying to recover from any form of trauma, those of you who feel anxious as hell, I want to help ease the stress, fear, and pain. I've got over 15 years of clinical experience and a whole lotta life experience at this point that informs my work. While what we face is nothing new, it's also true that this is a really hard time for so many reasons. Let's start by validating that.

I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor specializing in the treatment of anxiety or worry, low self esteem and relationship difficulties. I also enjoy working with issues related to identity, acculturation and life adjustments. More generally, I provide psychotherapy to those who are dissatisfied with themselves, their relationships or their career and who aspire to lead a more meaningful and fulfilling life. Psychotherapy leads to better self-knowledge, to making healthier life choices and to greater self acceptance and confidence, while reducing uncomfortable symptoms that interfere in daily living.

Therapy is an opportunity to help people diminish pain, cope with challenges, and gain support through adverse experiences. Additionally, it challenges personal growth through insight development, compassion and attentiveness. I have 14 years of experience in a variety of therapeutic settings that have equipped me especially in areas of relational dynamics, leadership and identity development. I often work with individuals struggling to align their beliefs and values with the people around them; whether that's the family, workplace or a faith institution.

As a licensed clinical mental health counselor, I offer telehealth sessions for adolescents, families, and adults. For children under 13, I offer parenting support, consultation, and parent-child sessions. I assist clients with a variety of presenting issues, including anxiety, depression, neurodivergence (Giftedness/LD/ADHD/2e), relationship problems, and identity development. My extensive training includes a variety of therapeutic approaches, such as psychodynamic, attachment-based, Internal Family Systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused. I also provide ADHD and executive functioning skills coaching.

When your thoughts or actions do not match your feelings, or you find that certain relationships are a problem, it could be time to explore what hidden patterns might be impacting your life. Because you are always in relationship to those in your world, whether family, work, or with a significant other; it is important to find ways to calm overwhelming emotions, overcome negative feelings, develop effective communication skills and discover the real issues in your life. In a non-invasive therapy environment, together we will build permanent resources to support you in being who you truly want to be.

Loneliness is the worst. Isolation shows up in many forms, including shame, stress, mistrust, and unproductive conflict. People grow and heal in the context of secure relationships, and I aim to help clients create and sustain them. It's my pleasure to work with couples, partnerships and individuals who are experiencing distress, coping with trauma, or struggling with identity development.

Life happens, and sometimes it can hit hard. Sometimes thing get too difficult. We change jobs, find new relationships, have changes to our family dynamics, move to a new city, or never feel like we really nipped that one situation in the bud. Sometimes we just need an extra pair of ears. It would be a pleasure to walk with you through your journey to redefining a new you. I have experience joining adolescents, adults, and families through their life journeys. I am an advocate of focusing on the full mind, body, and soul throughout your new life journey.

I am NOT able to accept new clients at this time. Are you not feeling like yourself since having your baby? Are you irritable, sad, anxious or feeling overwhelmed and guilty? Are you a mom of older kids and struggling with your moods and finding satisfaction in your relationship, family life, or career? Being a mom is exhausting, demanding, and sometimes emotionally confusing! Not sure why you are feeling a certain way? I can help you sort it all out. I specialize in treating mothers suffering from depression, anxiety, trauma, infertility and loss, as well as moms struggling with guilt, shame, and anger.

Are you or your child struggling to manage stress in the home or school setting? I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, specializing in working with youth and adults. I have experience working with youth dealing with issues, such as anxiety, depression, autism, defiant behaviors, adjustment, school issues, and family conflict since 2007. I work with children and families to identify goals for personal success and work collaboratively to assist them in reaching those goals. I welcome clients of all ages, and I also enjoy working with adults struggling with anxiety and depression to assist them in making personal growth.
