Family Therapy in 28205

Are you concerned about postpartum depression now that you are expecting a baby? Does the thought of childbirth spark anxiety and terror as your pregnancy due date approaches? Or perhaps you and your loved one have experienced infertility or a traumatic birth, and these events have been re-playing in your mind over and over. Although it can be exciting, becoming a parent can also include feelings of fear, doubt, and uncertainty. You are not alone. At Mecklenburg Wellness, we nurture the whole person through honoring the mind, body, and spirit through healing and renewal.

Throughout life’s journey, we may find ourselves feeling lost, unsure of where to start of where to go. We realize that past experiences have shaped our worldview, and how we relate to and connect with others. We may recognize that there are patterns within our family system that we want to break, but aren’t sure how. When we have experienced trauma, we may find it easier to leave it in the past; however, these experiences can change how we think and feel about ourselves and our surroundings. Through therapy, we can learn new skills to strengthen our relationships and establish secure attachment patterns.

Welcome to Blossom Wellness, where we believe in the power of healing and growth for every individual. We understand that life's journey can sometimes present challenges that feel overwhelming, and that's why our team is here to provide support and guidance. At Blossom Wellness, we offer a range of mental therapy services designed to meet your unique needs and help you navigate the complexities of life with resilience and strength. Our approach is warm, compassionate, and tailored to create a safe space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings.

Being a therapist is my greatest passion and a proud part of my identity. I am here to help clients who struggle with anything any stressor in life: from depression, anxiety, trauma, family conflict, domestic violence, relationship issues, the list goes on. There is no limit to how difficult the world can be or how heavy hurt can feel, but together we can learn what is needed, set goals, and start the healing together.

I take a person-centered, motivational approach in my practices. I enjoy working with individuals to navigate every kind of challenge, whether they are personal, with family, or with peers. I recognize that you may not only need a cheerleader to celebrate the good, but also to help you push through difficult times. While I believe that pharmacology may be a necessary aid for many, I understands there may be concerns, and is also supportive of those who wish to seek healing through non-medicated means. I am willing to help you find the most appropriate and comfortable option.

I believe in the healing power of relationships. Humans are relational creatures with a wired need to feel accepted. Disconnection in relationships can leave a person feeling hopeless. You can expect me to help you through relational healing. Together, we will look at your relationship to self and how this impacts how you navigate relationships with others. As a systems thinker, I often help clients explore ways to strengthen their sense of belongingness through strengthening relationships with others.

My name is Tammy Patrick. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with over 8 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked in schools, residential and community services for children, adolescents, adults, older adults, and families. I use CBT along with an eclectic variety of techniques to meet the individual needs of each client. Counseling is designed to help you gain greater insight into your life and help you build awareness, compassion, understanding, respect, empathy, and acceptance toward yourself and others.

Each individual and family face unique and complex challenges in their lives. Shaped by a combination of personal experiences, relationships, and outside influences, these challenges can be overwhelming. Understanding the uniqueness of each person’s journey is at the core of my approach to therapy. I serve as a guide to help clients express themselves authentically and embrace their inner resources through life’s many transitions. I am dedicated to creating a safe, trusting space where you feel heard and respected. I walk alongside you in sessions, incorporating humor and lightheartedness to create a warm, welcoming environment.

You are the expert on you and your family. Which may be hard to recognize at times because of things that have happened in your past or there may be experiences that are impacting you more than you realize. Or you may have a child who feels overlooked or misunderstood. Because only you are experiencing your life, I am here to assist you in making changes in areas you identify to better fulfill your goals. I work with adolescents, adults, and families to help navigate through communication, anxiety, trauma, and depression. I have experience with the LGBTQ+ population and certified in letter writing for gender affirming medical care.

Dating, trouble with boundaries, sexual trauma, relationship trauma, codependency, childhood trauma, relationship conflict, and more may lead to feeling as though it is difficult to have fulfilling relationships with ourselves and others. Or, maybe you are experiencing a general sense of anxiety, and it feels difficult to live in the moment. My priority is to offer an empowering, trauma-focused safe space where you can heal and cultivate healthy relationships with yourself and others.

I have spent much of my mental health career serving teens and families. I also have experience working with couples experiencing a range of challenges. I find solution focused and narrative driven approaches to be the most effective and supportive methods.

My therapy approach is very collaborative. I believe you are the expert of your life and I will work with you to achieve your goals. Research clearly indicates that having a good relationship between the therapist and client is crucial for positive outcomes to occur. I am compassionate, an empathetic listener, and I strive to create a space that feels comfortable for you to express yourself. In a safe environment, together we will explore, process, and learn what can be done differently in order to achieve greater satisfaction and peace.

It can be hard to ask for help, but it's even harder to find someone who is both easy to approach AND knowledgeable. This is the only work I have done in my professional life and get it. I will create room for you to grow by collaboratively developing a safe, private, and down-to-earth space with you - with or without your Loved Ones - to break free from old patterns and experience therapeutic Growth. Please feel free to review my website - as well as reviews on Google, Facebook, and Healthgrades - to see testimonials from past clients about their personal experiences.

Life is full of transitions and challenges that can lead to depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and family problems. You may feel frustrated, anxious, and disappointed leading to your desire to seek help. I believe everyone needs a person that supports, advocates, and listens to them. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I strive to build a space of acceptance to promote your growth and honor your strengths. I believe everyone has their own unique experiences and therefore, I adapt my approach to fit your needs and goals.

Change is an unavoidable part of life. We all experience difficult transitions, relational issues, and unwanted symptoms. We will work together to find solutions, develop skills to overcome challenges, and manage any symptoms you may be experiencing. My goal is to create an inclusive and collaborative therapeutic relationship that empowers you to make lasting change. You will determine the direction we take when exploring issues related to trauma, neurodiversity, grief, childhood experiences, and major life experiences.

My ideal client is one who is established in their life and community, yet they are unhappy and feel stagnant or stuck. They may struggle in their professional career or feel unfulfilled in the workplace. They may be socially isolated or do not connect well with people their age. This individual, on the outside, appears to have it all, but they are not satisfied with their life. This individual may have untreated depression and/or anxiety. They may have come from a family of dysfunction and managed to get away from it. They need someone to assist them in examining this and determine what they want out of life.

We know that sharing intimate details about your life may be challenging, but it will be our pleasure to help you navigate your way through this process. We have over 30 years of combined experience.
