Therapists in Lexington, KY

Hi, I’m Rosalie. I help couples and parents who are stressed out and need support. I believe you’re doing the best you can. Maybe you are ready to work on marital problems that have slowly built up over the years. Maybe you're not sure if you and your spouse/partner can recover the love and connection that you once counted on. Perhaps you would like to feel more confident as a parent or co-parent. Maybe you just need to figure out where to start. I can help you no matter where you are in your couple/family journey.

You keep searching the internet hoping to find something that will help you find normalcy again. Everything feels like a struggle anymore and you can't recall the last time you were actually happy or even content. You find yourself with an open bottle of wine almost every night or hiding in a closet to catch your breath from your life. Looking for answers with food, alcohol, exercise, shopping, accomplishments, or even attention has left you exhausted and empty. You have a great life but it doesn't feel great living it.

You’re tired of navigating a world not designed for you. You want to try again, but you don’t know where to start. Navigating a neurotypical world, transitioning into civilian life, coping with the aftereffects of trauma, or lack of access to resources can make life harder than it needs to be. I have experience working with trauma survivors, military veterans, and autistic/ADHD adults. My clients show remarkable resilience in the face of adversity. You are the expert on yourself, and my goal is to help you learn to trust your inner voice.

I specialize in treating ADHD, PTSD, Depression and Anxiety in Adults and have been in practice since 2013.

If you are feeling dissatisfied with your work, your mood, your self-esteem, or your relationships contact me for a FREE 15 minute consultation. I provide therapy via telehealth, so my services can better fit into your busy schedule.

Life can be challenging and full of anxiety, depression, or stress. Especially with crazy schedules and long to-do lists. It is so easy to get lost in these emotions and the busyness of life and lose focus on what is important, and meaningful to us. My hope is that you are able to live a life that has value to you by doing what is important to you. Sometimes this requires a little assistance or guidance through counseling.

What would your life be like if you woke up tomorrow and everything was just how you wanted it to be? What would be different? Therapy can help you identify and reach those goals. Whether your focus is individual, with your partner, or with a family member - the process can be beneficial and effective. My job is to help guide you through the choices, decisions, and communication patterns that are stopping you from making those improvements or changes. Therapy does not have to be intimidating or anxiety provoking. It can instead be an interactive, thought-provoking, learning experience. I am glad to partner with you on this journey.

My strengths are helping clients process their experiences, increase their self-awareness, and make connections and meaning of their situations. I specialize in helping clients address their relationship issues with conflict, connectivity, and communication.

You might be hesitant to reach out for help and feel you should be able to handle things on your own. You are not alone!

I can help you evaluate your needs and goals to see if Hope Awaits Counseling is a good fit and if not, I can hopefully help send you in the right direction. My goal is to see people live their best life possible, in truth and relationships! Any part of that journey I can help with is an honor to be a part of.

As a therapist who cares about her clients and their struggles, my goal is to help you achieve a fulfilling life while effectively handling any pain or suffering you may be experiencing. My method of therapy, called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, is an empirically supported approach that has been "astoundingly effective" with improving a wide range of problems, including depression, relationship issues, family conflict, poor self-worth, and stress at work.

Contemporary society can be isolating and alienating. We all experience difficulties that leave emotional scars. Even our successes come with stress and anxiety. When our energy is focused on achievement and perfection, we lose or deny our authentic selves in that striving. If compelled to live outside our actual values, we may lose our sense of meaning or purpose. I provide individual therapy for adults navigating life transitions or coping with work, family, or health challenges. I have training and experience working with clients who’ve experienced trauma.

We are a group of clinicians with a wide variety of specialities including play therapy, EMDR, CBT, couples and family therapies. With over 30 years of experience our clinicians treat age groups starting at 2 years through adult.

Making the decision to begin counseling can seem difficult and overwhelming. My goal is to provide a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment for us to explore things in your life that have been bothering you. I believe once you better understand yourself, it is easier to explore why you do the things you do and what to do to change this in order to live the life you want. In order to make therapy more accessible, I offer late afternoon and evening appointments.

Life can be challenging. Some people have an ongoing challenge due to trauma, anxiety, or toxic family dynamics. Others have situational challenges caused by stress, loss, or struggle in a new relationship or new family dynamic. For children under 10, I work with parents and caregivers using Child Parent Relationship Therapy to improve the relationship & attachment and SPACE for your child's anxiety. This allows me to work individually with parents to teach skills so that you may work with your child at home. These skills are lifelong skills, which most find to be extremely helpful!

Have you ever felt like you were missing out on something but not sure what? Do you feel like you could be fulfilled but you don't know how to get there? Are you going through a transition in your life and need reassurance or guidance from a non-judgmental place? If so, now is a good time to reach out and explore your own inner strength to make life feel whole again. I work with individuals from teens to retirement age, couples in different stages of their relationship, and young adults who are trying to find their own identity in this world. I also work with clients who want to change their story and create their own.
