Passport Health Plan Therapists in Kentucky

Hello. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors. If you have depression, anxiety, or issues that you feel uncomfortable talking with others about, I offer a safe and confidential place to work on these issues. My goal is to help you feel more confident about yourself. I offer individual and family counseling. I want you to have a place to learn, grow and have an understanding of what you are feeling.

Many of us struggle with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, etc. that effect our daily lives, all of which can have a profound impact on our ability to manage mental health and maintain healthy relationships with others. This is especially typical in adolescent years when the strive for independence and formulation of personal identity often creates conflict within family systems, issues with self-esteem, and interactions with peers. While I see clients of all ages, I enjoy working with teens struggling to find themselves while navigating the numerous changes experienced during adolescence.

Patients come to us looking for Hope, looking for someone to listen, looking for someone who understands. It is hard to ask for help from someone else, it takes courage and strength to acknowledge that one needs help from another. Our job isn't to judge, it is to help walk with you through the ups and the downs of life. We all need help sometimes, call today and start the road to healing.

My ideal client is someone who has experienced trauma and/or struggles with substance use. They are looking for a safe and supportive environment to work through their issues and find healing and recovery. They understand the importance of addressing their mental health and are motivated to make positive changes in their life. Their goals include building coping skills, improving relationships, and finding a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Their desire for change stems from a desire to live a happier and healthier life, free from the negative impacts of trauma and substance use.

I am a Certified Social Worker practicing mental health and substance use therapy in Lexington, Kentucky.

Now accepting new clients! Whether working with children, adolescents, or young adults, my approach is grounded in creating a safe and supportive space for exploration, growth, and empowerment. Most of my professional experience has involved working with children and adolescents with a range of mood disorders, personality disorders, and trauma histories.

I am a LPCA and provide counseling services to teens, adults and the elderly. I believe that no matter what the age group, contentment with one’s life is valued by most (if not all) people. I believe that contentment is found primarily by focusing on the beneficial aspects of reality (rather than the detrimental). This type of thought focus/management is a technique found in forms of counseling such as CBT. As a former teacher, I particularly like CBT because once the skills are learned, clients become self reliant (in the sense that they can apply the learned skills to maintain their mental wellness throughout their lives).

One of the bravest things we can do is ask for help. Scrolling through profile after profile and trying to find the right therapist can be especially challenging. If you've found this page on your healing journey, know you are worthy of well-being. It can be overwhelming when you don't feel that's true, but that's where therapy can help.

You are overwhelmed, overtired, and so used to taking care of everyone else that you don't know how to even take care of yourself anymore. It seems like everyone depends on you for every little thing anymore, but deep down you want to be left alone before you fall apart. Everything feels overwhelming that you just shut down and disconnect from the world. You spend most of your day thinking that you aren't enough and terrified someone will find out. You know a change needs to happen, but you don't know where to begin. Take that first step of reaching out for support, and we can figure out the next step together.

People are looking for a resolution to issues that they are having. People are looking for a breakthrough that will help them or a relative break out of the long cold road of confusion and disappointment.

You've been going through it. Your partner, friends, and family see it too. You just want to move on with your life, but don’t know how. It happens to us all at some point, but you're still unsure about talking to someone. Going to therapy is a huge step for yourself because you've felt tired of be tired long enough. For me, therapy goes best as a conversation between people as if over coffee or tea. If this sounds like you, it looks like you're ready for a chat. I’m looking forward to joining your journey.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression or a history of substance abuse? Are you searching for coping skills to manage your stress and improve your mood? Are you struggling with negative thoughts about yourself, troubling thoughts from your past, or distressing thoughts about the future? I can help. My philosophy for mental health involves helping people gain insight into how events from the past shape how one thinks, feels, and acts in the present. These insights lead to a deeper understanding into how to change thoughts, emotions, and behaviors through coping strategies and increased self-awareness.

Perhaps you’re dealing with past traumas that haven’t been resolved. Whatever the reason that has brought you to me today, I encourage you to contact me and schedule an appointment.

Home Away from Home Therapeutic Center (HAHTC), LLC provides therapeutic and consultation services for children and families in a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental zone while assisting with building support systems and positive environments for children and families to grow.

I have always desired to understand feelings, behavior and the human mind; always been driven toward solving the questions that start with why. However, after leading many spontaneous counseling sessions with clients, witnessing the empowering feeling it brings to simply aid someone find a way forward, instead, I also became driven toward solving the questions that start with how. I would deem it a privilege to take the time with someone to answer how they can move forward from their situation and how they can deal with whatever hand life has dealt them.

I believe that you are the expert in your life. I am honored to hear about your experiences and to help you process life events in a safe environment.

My approach to therapy is multi-faceted and I commonly use a client-centered, relational approach with mindfulness woven into each session.
