Hoarding Therapists in Bryson City, NC

Sometimes we find ourselves submerged in complicated feelings that are confusing and scary. This becomes a window into some of the core truths of our inner lives, of internalized relationships, longings, and past experiences. I accompany people through an exploration of this inner life and provide a supportive space to move through stuck points, process issues towards closure, and emerge to more genuinely appreciate your life and relationships.

I am a licensed doctoral level clinical psychologist who provides individual and couple therapy. My approach is individualized based on the specific needs and goals of each client or couple and involves providing warmth and genuineness. My role is to assist you in gaining insight and perspective into the obstacles that are limiting you from living the life that you desire using a supportive and non-judgmental style that will facilitate personal exploration.

In our first session we will discuss working together on-line. I use a combination of IFS (Internal Family Systems) and EMDR. IFS is an extraordinary therapy. In safe, gentle, respectful ways, IFS accesses and TRANSFORMS that which is the cause of your problems: your hidden and not-so-hidden fears, shame, anger, hurt… why you have negative thinking (I’m not good enough, things are not the way I want them to be), as well as the negative ways you may be acting (in anger, critical, impatient, abusing substances). I use a special on-line platform for EMDR which I am finding works well.

I have over 13 years working with the neurodivergent population as well as their parents/ families through parent coaching.

To the misunderstood, the misdiagnosed, and the overly diagnosed; to those who feel a sense of stuckness; to those experiencing deep, overwhelming thoughts and emotions; to those who wonder if there might be a different way or if anyone could ever understand and accept them; to those who struggle to feel or understand their own behaviors, thoughts, and emotions; to those who believe they may never be good enough; to those who believe they may be irreparably broken or damaged: ​ I am called to meet you with curiosity, creativity, and understanding.

My clients can expect to feel guided and supported in the processes of change, healing, understanding, and empowerment.

Hi, I'm a therapist who has a mindfulness and yoga teaching background. I'm here to help you bring kindness, awareness and compassion to your difficult thoughts and emotions so that you can process safely and realign towards the life of your dreams. Taking the initiative to reach out for therapy brings you one step closer towards healing. We can only heal what we can feel and being witnessed can make all the difference. Judith Herman, a pioneer of psychological healing writes, "Recovery can take place only within the context of relationships; it cannot occur in isolation.”

Do you get exhausted seeing all the confusion in the world today? Does it seem like everything is backward and no one seems to care anymore? Prices have skyrocketed and you can’t seem to get ahead. You feel like you are stuck in a rut and most days you don’t even want to get out of bed because it all just seems so pointless. You’re tired of being sick and tired and you just feel frustrated and numb if you feel anything at all. All of this can lead to anxiety, depression, anger, and being overwhelmed. If this describes you, then you are not alone! You can’t expect this to just go away.

When we are not feeling at our best due to stress, anxiety, depression, family conflict, addiction etc., it effects every other aspect of our lives. It takes strength and courage to recognize that something needs to change. I like to work with my clients in a collaborative and supportive style that provides a blend of coaching, interactive interventions and by instilling hope about their future. Where you are today does not mean that you have to be there tomorrow

Lemon (therapy assistant pictured in photo) and I are accepting new clients in 2024! I’m not your typical talk-therapist. I am dynamic in the sense that I’ve been trained in many different evidenced-based models, theories, and techniques, but the therapy that I provide derives from what is needed most by the client sitting in front of me. I’m fun, energetic and real. I don’t mind being direct when necessary, and I think it’s okay to sometimes disclose information about myself;after all, the passion and interest that I have for helping others is directly related to my lived experience of trying to ground myself in an unsettled world.

My specialties are trauma, anxiety, depression. 21 yrs experience counseling adolescents, adults, couples and families.

Experience: worked with World Trade Center 9/11 survivors, survivors of torture, in a psychiatric hospital, an outpatient clinic, as a clinical supervisor, as a school based therapist, counseled military, their spouses & children at bases in USA, Europe and Japan and private practice.

Maybe you are feeling unsettled, anxious or alone. Perhaps you are struggling with relational challenges or past trauma. Whatever led you here, therapy offers a valuable path towards growth and embracing your true self. As your therapist, I will support your power to change so you can step into your light and shine.

Would it be helpful for you to be able to explore concerns or challenges with a caring, neutral, accepting person who could help you make sense of your world? I am practically oriented and comfortable offering support for a wide-range of behavioral and mental health issues. Patient safety and comfort is hugely important to me. Helping patients make connections that promote a sense of integrity and peace is a goal.

Often those things in life that are most difficult are natural parts of life, known as givens – Freedom, Death, Isolation, Meaninglessness. Being confronted with these givens can create anxiety, which can lead to significant consequences. Everyone who looks for a therapist does it because there is something that is blocking their happiness. It might be something external that caused you to look, but you have it within you to set yourself free. Waiting for the world, your boss, your significant other to make things better for you gives someone else control over your happiness.

Hi, My name is Jay and through personalized treatment, I help individuals access authentic emotional awareness and guide them towards true healing. I am a licensed clinical social worker and therapist who has been providing mental health services directly to people for over 20 years. I have worked successfully with clients of all ages who presented with a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, behavioral disorders, stress, ADHD, relationship issues, struggles with parenting, substance use and abuse, career and job issues as well as survivors of trauma such as abuse and neglect.

I really enjoy working with adults and helping to identify the barriers between where they are and where they want to be. I especially like supporting with women's issues and ageing/stage of life processing. I am very much a generalist and enjoy working with a diverse set of individuals whose goal is to create change in themselves. I appreciate working with individuals who have an idea of where they want to go, and we can discover how to get there together!

Stress, anxiety, uncertainty, and fear can feel overwhelming. You may find yourself turning to drugs or alcohol, harmful eating patterns, self-harm, or fall back on other old habits to cope with your emotions. You may be struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, or fear. Maybe you are in recovery from addiction or an eating disorder, and are having trouble maintaining your progress. You may be navigating your gender and sexual identify. Or perhaps you are concerned that your teenager is dealing with some of these issues. Whatever you are facing, you are not alone! I am here to provide support, guidance, and encouragement.

Are you overwhelmed and depleted by the historic stressors of the past several years…or decades? Has your role as a parent or partner diminished your sense of self? Does acknowledging your own needs trigger your inner critic and feelings of guilt? I am a seasoned cognitive behavioral therapist with additional specialization in pregnancy/postpartum mental health and couples therapy. As social beings, our relationships can be powerful catalysts for personal healing and growth. Many former clients describe how deepening intimate bonds in the present brings healing to past wounds and long-held insecurities.
