Therapists in Sadieville, KY

Making the decision to seek therapy can sometimes be intimidating, but every journey starts with a first step! I'm here to help you take that first step toward wellness. In our first session, we'll talk about what your goals for therapy look like and create a plan together. I am solution focused and I like to find practical ways to integrate positive changes to help you meet your goals. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, problem gambling, relationship issues, or self esteem, we can find answers together in a judgement free zone. I'm LGBTQ+ affirming and welcome individuals from all walks of life.

Addiction is just a way of trying to get at something else. Something bigger. Call it transcendence if you want, but it’s a rat in a maze." Addiction, in its many forms, has been one of my passions since entering this field. I would love to work with anyone struggling to control behaviors that have gotten out of their control. There is power and healing when a client shares their deepest and darkest thoughts in hopes of inviting change and escaping shame. Shame and judgement keep us all locked away in our minds. I want to step into the struggle alongside you, and seek to help you find a way to a life full of freedom and recovery.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the expectations of personal or professional roles? Do you find yourself numbing, hiding or avoiding feelings or painful/uncomfortable situations? Maybe, you have a family member caught in destructive patterns and it's impacting your life? I'd love to help you change unhealthy habits, transform your thoughts, and reconnect with your true self. Together, we can work to replace pain with self-love, change unhealthy patterns, and find healthy ways to deal with life's stressors. I have a strong background in behavior modification strategies, sustaining change, mental health-related issues, and addictions.

My clinical skills are vast after over 30 years in private practice and 40 years as a social worker. I have worked with the military in Europe as a family therapist and participate in the Give an Hour Program here in Kentucky. I serve on several boards including the Kent School Social Work Board, and the National Association of Social Work Ethics Committee.

Are you experiencing problems with addiction? Do you have trouble handling depression, trauma, and anxiety? I would like to be your guide in becoming sober and healing. As a experienced clinician, I recognize those that struggle with mental health and addiction are some of the most intelligent and artistic individuals. Often, those that experience anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts saw drugs and alcohol as a way to cope and calm their thoughts. I am here to walk you through the journey of hope to recovery, however that may look to you.

When it comes to therapy it is important to choose a therapist that fits best with your needs, someone with whom you feel understood and valued. Therapy is a creative process in which we consider personal past history and how that impacts present feelings and behaviors. In a therapeutic environment of safety and compassion, we explore how to use that information to construct healthy relationships and a satisfying life for you.

Hello, I'm Naomi "Alix" Burke. I welcome clients of various identities and do not discriminate based upon gender or sexual identity, race, ethnicity, religion or non-religion, class, political affiliation, monogamous/polyamorous status, substance use or sobriety/recovery status, or level of education. I primarily see adult and teen (13+) clients for individual therapy and provide couples/relationship therapy on a limited basis. I love helping clients explore and better understand the nuances of their own diagnoses and identities, develop and reinforce self-worth and self-acceptance, and improve coping and executive functioning.

You are likely here because you are in pain. Or maybe because you have questions about getting help. My therapy style is built around our relationship, and through that relationship I promote trust, growth, and ultimately change. As my client, you will not feel judged or alone. You will, however, feel respected and validated. Affirmed. And challenged to look at your life. You will decide what you would like to change, and then we will set your goals together. I will walk alongside you as we look for the best version of yourself.

The ideal client for my practice is anyone who has a willingness to get better and do the work required to get better.

I accept a variety of clients desiring treatment for trauma, eating disorders, mood disorders, anxiety disorders, as well as those who are desiring coping skills to improve their daily lives. I take clients age 13 and up.

With a compassionate and client-centered approach, I aim to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. My goal is to support you in gaining insight, finding solutions, and developing the tools to navigate life's challenges. I have a passion for helping individuals heal and grow, drawing from my experience and training in CBT, mindfulness, and EMDR. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, complex trauma, relationship issues, or simply seeking personal growth, I'm dedicated to working with you to achieve your goals.

My practice focuses primarily on individuals and couples who are dealing with traumas, addictions and communication issues. I give my patients the support to sort through the racket in their heads and find clarity. Many times emotional issues stem from events in our lives which have been either buried or minimized. I help my patients explore these events in order to identify the old beliefs and ideas that created disfunctional coping mechanisms. Once identified, these old ideas and beliefs can be replaced with new healthier ones.

Counseling can be an amazing discovery into new ways of creating happiness. My dedication is fired by my clients' "Aha!" moments. It's not unusual for a client say, "This is really amazing-- Can I get my wife (mother-in-law, son, brother) in here?" That means we are doing therapy right! My people enjoy the counseling experience and laugh as often as they experience other emotions. I use a great deal of stories, humor, and building on strengths to inspire progress from one success to another. When clients have small successes as a foundation, they can launch to a lifetime of satisfaction.

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.

Addiction is a disease and it robs people of everything. We meet the client where ever they are in the grips of addiction. Deep down in every individual there is a need to find their sense of purpose. Everyone wants to attain self-actualization or to become who they believe they were meant to become. We believe in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, which states individuals must first attain their physical, social, emotional and spiritual needs before reaching self-actualization, which brings a feeling of fulfillment, joy and peace. We provide a way out. Please give us a call to schedule an assessment.

I am pledged toward collaborating with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in understanding their life choices with resources in school, work, and community.

SUCCESS IS WITHIN REACH" I am gentle yet firmly persistent in helping clients find direction, making choices of right and wrong and uncovering their ability to tell reality from distortion and delusion. My clients find the counseling experience positive, insightful and intellectual which opens the doors of lasting happiness and sense of reality for them. The introspection, self examination and self actualization greatly increases their sensitivity and attitude about what is really important in human experience and opens the doors of happiness and sense of reality." My counseling approach gives clients insight to follow for greater understanding and self actualization.
