You're feeling stuck in your behaviors and patterns but don’t know how to break free from the cycle. Maybe you’ve made a few changes in life and you’re finding it difficult to fit into your environment because the people surrounding you aren’t supportive of your new self. We all want to be heard and supported — especially when we’re unsure of our next steps in life and grow as a person. You just want to be accepted for who you are. You are worthy to be seen, heard, and accepted for who you are in every stage of life. Schedule a consult today to take the next step of your healing process and self-exploration journey.
I'm a BIPOC, transgender, and LGBTQIA+ affirmative counselor licensed in NC and SC. I work with clients experiencing the following concerns: anxiety, stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem, grief, men's issues, and internet addiction, while serving the following age populations: teen, adults, and elders.
When working together, we may explore a few of the following approaches: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Humanistic, Person-Centered, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing (MI). Text/call 980-484-3728 for your free consultation or submit an inquiry at esmaycounseling.com. I look forward to meeting you!
