Integrative Therapists in Tuxedo, NC

Our bodies hold the story our minds aren't ready to heal. With a warm and non-judgmental approach, I provide a safe space for you to connect to your body, heal from past wounds, and uncover your inner strengths. I work well with clients seeking an integrative, trauma informed, holistic wellness approach to therapy. I love helping clients become empowered and connected to their story, body, relationships, and values. Bringing the body into the process of healing is powerful and kind. I work with trauma, spiritual abuse, body image, and perinatal mental health concerns.

Whether looking for a local counselor or you prefer a counselor with a little distance from where you live, I am ready to truly listen and care about where you would like your path to lead. You may not even have considered counseling before...then the Pandemic hit and you found the well of resilience you have always relied upon was not deep enough for all of the chaos, change and waves of grief. It's time to work through what surfaced while you were enduring incredible stress and upheaval in your world. Let's talk and see if this is a good fit for you.

I am passionate about helping women navigate major life transitions such as getting married, entering motherhood, changing careers, moving, or processing the ending of a relationship. It is easy to lose ourselves when taking on a new role and I love helping women reconnect with who they truly are and find joy again. In addition to treatment for anxiety, depression, and life transitions, I offer the unique focus of career counseling. I really enjoy helping others find true fulfillment in their vocations, as I have found that many mental health and relationship challenges often stem from an unhealthy work life.

Damaris works as an outpatient/school-based counselor providing services to both children and adults in English, Spanish, and American Sign Language (ASL).

I am a trauma-informed, integrative, EMDR therapist. I use ego states and parts work in conjunction with somatic work to help bring ‘online’ the left and right hemispheres of your brain. I am focused on treating the whole person and would like to have an open, honest conversation about what you are looking for and your treatment wants and needs.

I use holistic therapy techniques to empower individuals who struggle with addiction, past trauma, and relationships to live a happy, courageous life by releasing the unhealthy or toxic patterns that keep them stuck and from discovering their true purpose.

I am an experienced therapist. I bring my life and professional experiences to meet each person from my belief that each individual has the capacity for change within them. My clients are experiencing chronic pain, PTSD, Dissociative Identity Disorder, relationship and life change issues, as well as depression and anxiety. I pull from my skills in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, EFT (Emotional Energy work), .

I work with men who are ready to heal and live more authentic and empowered lives. Men carry so much pain that is unspoken. We often do not have an outlet to share this hurt for fear of looking weak by being vulnerable. It takes immense courage to embrace your pain and begin to heal. If you need a space to work on past trauma, current relationship struggles, depression/anxieties, and/or finding you purpose, I would love to work with you. My approach is rooted in empathy, understanding, and respect. I believe that every man deserves a safe and non-judgmental space to explore their thoughts, feelings, and challenges.

I find great joy in working with clients of all ages and stages. I am glad to come along side a client who desires to move forward in peace. I have experience working through anxiety, depression, ADHD, sleep issues, impulsivity, emotional reactivity and mood regulation. *At this time I am no longer accepting new child/adolescent clients.

Greetings and welcome to Mountain Home Counseling! I offer a genuine team approach with you, doing work I am called to from the heart and soul. My specialties are in general mental health counseling, clinical hypnosis and Transpersonal hypnotherapy. Clinical and therapeutic hypnosis along with counseling addresses many forms of mental/emotional/physical issues including undesirable habits, phobias, physical ailments, anxiety, depression, self-doubt, and all manner of fear that hinders our ability to fully love and accept ourselves.

People often think psychotherapy is only for crises. However research shows that therapy is one of the best investments you can make for life satisfaction and growth. In addition to therapy are other modalities that support healing and growth. Some of these holistic wellness tools include exercise, mindfulness, tai chi and yoga. I have a rich background in the application of mindfulness to promote healing and growth, and have experience integrating tools such as Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, DBT, CBT, Hypnosis and EMDR. I also find authenticity and humor essential for healing and use both liberally.

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.

Many days, pressure from others’ expectations can be mentally, physically & emotionally draining. It seems you are never good enough, always pushing toward perfection. Working hard, putting time in day and night, struggling to perform at work, school, home, with sports, family and peers. This can lead to overwhelming amounts of stress, fear, sadness, conflict, and irritability, impacting choices made. You want to feel valued and accepted, and are told to be mentally tough and stay strong. On the inside you are nervous, and fear failure. Outside pressure can be overwhelming, bringing feelings of self doubt, and fear.

My life's passion is working with women in transitional times of their lives and all young adults and middle-aged adults as they move into new life stages or search for a fulfilling career. I greatly enjoy working with LGTBQIA+ clients and with the Latino and immigrant community, and I am also passionate about working with couples, helping partners improve communication and gain insight into how our pasts affect current relationships. I have a special interest in helping people with relationship issues as well as issues related to break-up and divorce, and I enjoy working with children, adolescents, and parents.

I believe in the wisdom of our own unfolding and in the power of the therapeutic relationship to provide safe space for deep inner listening and healing. Whether you are seeking counseling because of acute pain, are feeling stuck, or long to uncover your greatest avenue for growth, I welcome the opportunity to partner with you and provide a container as we work towards your goals. My purpose is to help clients live more connected and authentic lives, lives which are in integrity with who you truly are.

My therapy practice centers around working with individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, and eating disorders. I primarily work with individuals who identify as female that are seeking ways to increase their sense of self-worth and live a more present and balanced life. Individuals I work with may be wanting to heal patterns of people pleasing, perfectionism, shame, disordered eating, and body image. I gently guide clients in exploring and healing their relationship with food and their bodies through embracing a Health At Every Size approach.

I provide relational and person-centered therapy to individuals, couples, and families. For the last 14 years I have served a diverse population in treating mental health needs including, anxiety, addiction, relationship/marital trouble, and negative behavior/thinking patterns. People often come wanting a solution to these and many other problems. In my practice, I have found success in helping people look deeper than the surface or for an easy solution. I wish I could promise an easy road ahead. What I can promise is compassion, empathy, support, and guided help on this road to healing.

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.
