Jungian Therapists in Mars Hill, NC

Wholeness leads to healing. I guide my clients to accept all parts of themselves and find balance in their lives. I entered the field of counseling with a passion for treating trauma (big T and little t trauma). Along the way I gathered some exceptional tools for doing so, including EMDR and a somatic approach to psychotherapy. Not so far removed from trauma, I have also developed a specialty in treating addiction of all kinds. I have seen the power of emotional healing to transform people's lives in ways they always wanted but didn't know how. I am here to help whenever the client is ready to do that brave and powerful work.

Adolescents, Young Adults, and their families are invited to explore relationship patterns that have contributed to psychological distress and gain awareness of how to positively contribute to interpersonal effectiveness, establish meaningful connections, and set appropriate boundaries. Self concept, unmet needs, and self defeating patterns are explored while establishing goals for reaching your full potential. Healthy communication strategies are practiced to promote prosocial engagement. Trauma focused, Jungian psychodynamic theory informed, Community Resiliency Model Advocate, Trained Equine & Canine Assisted Service Provider.

My ideal client wants to change and evolve, and is willing to work at it through sessions and homework! I'm non-judgmental and a creative collaborator with my clients. I've done my job if clients feel heard, renewed, and empowered. I have a ton of experience and credentials: I use Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Brainspotting, and Brain-based Hypnotherapy. I work in trauma recovery, relationship issues, addiction, mood disorders, Jungian counseling, and spiritual counseling. I'm extremely adventurous, youthful, and have experienced life in many places and realms.

Being human and experiencing suffering is inevitable. Yet, most of us have been conditioned to believe there must be something “wrong” with us if we are dissatisfied in our lives, struggling, or if we are in pain. In this way, life has a particular way of making us feel inadequate and alone. Therapy offers a unique opportunity for you to bring all of your depth and complexity into a space that acknowledges your humanity and is actively curated to attend to you. My orientation and training is informed by modern psychoanalysis: an approach that relies heavily on the therapeutic relationship as a form of technique and path to healing.

Hello! And welcome! Being a human is hard, finding a therapist is hard, and asking for help can also be hard… and look at you, here, showing up, already doing hard things. My name is Moriah, and I am a therapist because I deeply care about humans. I am heart-centered and open minded, and I take a curious and collaborative approach. I enjoy joining my clients in their own process of discovery and healing. I believe in safe spaces. I believe in providing my clients with a safe space to explore and accept various aspects of themselves. I care about my clients, and I believe in their ability to heal and grow.

As a clinician I am passionate about working with individuals around their personal goals and identity development, assisting couples in more effective ways to communicate and deepen intimacy, coaching parents who are struggling to show up in a way that feels good and effective with their children, or families who are struggling to navigate the challenges of their unique lifestyle.

I have been involved with mental health and addiction recovery since 2012. My ideal client is someone who is struggling to make sense of their path and is looking to be pushed while being seen. I wish to know you and develop a greater awareness of what makes you unique. Through this process, you can expect to develop a profound sense of meaning and enjoy richer relationships. My style is warm, inquisitive, humorous, and challenging. I focus on the experience that is created between therapist and client and how that pertains to all relationships. I am attachment based, somatic and body oriented, and trauma informed.

We each have an innate wholeness. Our work is centered around connecting you to this wholeness. Health is not just being able to have positive experiences, but to be able to move through the range of human experiences without getting stuck in one over another. In this way, I view health as the ability for movement – whether that be psychologically, energetically, or within a system. The ability to move and adapt without getting stuck is essential for our well-being. It is my intention to help call forth your Unknown Self – so that you may move through life in your wholeness. It is a true honor to get to do this work.

My specialties are helping you heal depression, anxiety, trauma, self-image & relationship issues. I realize it's difficult to find a good therapist and to expose yourself to someone new but perhaps you've decided it's time to take this step towards healing. I have been in private practice for 38 years. I am dedicated to provide you with compassionate, skilled, enlightened psychotherapy & guidance tailored to your sensitivity & needs. I will help you understand the reasons beneath your fears, discover your innate strengths, self compassion & develop the empowerment that helps you lead a life filled with joy, energy & love.

You do not have to be sick to get better. I believe in paying attention to experience not what is bad or wrong. We can all learn skills to improve. My past experience as a world ranked professional tennis player gives me insight to work with high school, collegiate and professional athletes or anyone in this age. I work from a depth model, which encourages self-exploration to improve skills. The exploration helps one become conscious of long standing coping mechanisms that may no longer be as valuable as they once were. Learning what you do that blocks happiness empowers you to make choices that lead to a satisfying life.

Did you know ages 45-55 are just as developmentally rich as adolescence? What if we saw aging as a spiritual path, and our body's symptoms of perimenopause and menopause as guides? A mid-life crisis is often characterized by an anxious sense of "is this all there is?" compounded by stressors related to caregiving, death, divorce, job loss and relationship dissatisfaction. This can create existential questions related to one's identity, purpose and meaning in life. Yet this mid-life chrysalis, is an opportunity to slow down, reflect and become more fully conscious of ourselves as women in the afternoon of our lives.

Do you find yourself wondering why you're where you are in life...what brought you to this point? What is the meaning of this crisis in my life? Is there a purpose for my life? My approach to therapy is founded in Carl Jung's Depth Psychology and is useful for all life's problems that come our way - depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, grief, relationships, career and aging as well as for reflection and personal growth. Together we can find the answers to these questions. My approach is holistic, warm, client centered and non judgmental.

Causing and Creating Inspired Transformation~Are you feeling like you are in a transition at this point in your life and need someone to help see you through it? Maybe there's a block in an area of your life that could be helped with new perspective? Possibly you want to learn about visualization, intentional creativity, or creating sacred space? I Love working with people who are in transitional space and are ready for growth and change. Today you are one step closer to feeling empowered, passionate about life, and on a positive path to growth and well-being.

With over 25 years in the mental health field and 13 years in private practice, I offer a multitude of personal and professional experience. Much of our suffering is due to dissatisfaction in relationships. Sadly, many relationships end prematurely when we are most hurt and emotionally vulnerable. However, this is the time when the very intimacy we were lacking prior has the potential to finally break through. I give you tools and insight to heal old wounds that are holding you back from experiencing the love you seek within yourself and others. Together we address the intrapsychic conflicts and longings of the soul.

Are you looking for something deeper out of therapy than feeling emotionally validated or learning to change your thought patterns? If you're like many people I've talked with, you don't want band-aids. You don't want coping skills for your depression, mindfulness exercises for your anxiety or panic - you want to know WHY you're experiencing those challenges in the first place. If you're asking these deeper questions, there's some part of you that is longing for more than just the immediate relief from your symptoms. There is a part of you that desires serious personal growth and transformation. And I want to help you achieve it!

Erin (she/her/hers) is a Licensed Creative Arts Therapist who has extensive experience working with children, adolescents and adults who have experienced major life-altering (traumatic) events that have contributed to mental health concerns (e.g. anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, addictions and more). With over 10 years working in the mental health field, Erin is well-versed in meeting each client where they are at, facilitating a safe, open and honest therapy experience.

I believe every child and adolescent has the potential within themselves to become healthier and happier, and it is my job to help them unlock that potential. Traditional cognitive and behavioral approaches often fail to create meaningful change, which can lead to feelings of failure or discouragement rather than empowerment. Whether your child or adolescent is struggling with self-esteem, social challenges, or regulation skills, I can help them recognize and unlock the skills and strengths that they already have to over come those challenges.
