Codependency Therapists in Tollesboro, KY

Helping people is not only our profession, but also a passion. We provide support for: addiction, codependency, mental health, relationship issues, anger management, and counseling. Through empathy, compassion, knowledge, and understanding we can help you utilize tools that you already possess to help you succeed with lasting changes to your life.

I love my work and enjoy offering my clients a safe and supportive environment for them to grow and explore themselves. My style is both conversational and relational. I offer an authentic presence within a collaborative, lively relationship in which self-discovery can be non-threatening and perhaps, even fun. I am committed to sharing everything I know which I believe will help heal the difficulties in one's life. I am inspired each day by the courage clients have each moment they show up for therapy. I became a therapist because, to me, the value in life comes when you return to your value within.

Are you tired of feeling bad about yourself, being your own worst critic, feeling stuck, anxious and/or depressed? I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to begin to change how you see yourself, improve how you feel and move forward in your life. I offer virtual therapy sessions, including virtual EMDR, as well as Life Coaching sessions. I am licensed in Ohio and Kentucky.

My name is Elizabeth Walden. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I use a personalized, client-centered approach recognizing that you are the expert on you! I'm here to facilitate growth and change using strategies designed uniquely for you based on your strengths, perception of the world, past behaviors and hopes for the future. I primarily work with individual adults struggling with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, job stress, situational depression or stress, relationship issues, addiction, ADHD, codependency, trauma, family issues, hopelessness and anger.

If you are struggling with emotional stress, long for better relationships, or wish to address difficult circumstances in the past or present, then the assistance of a mental health professional may be a step in the right direction. Building a partnership with a therapist can help you process those issues and build skills to better tackle challenges. As a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, I help clients understand how the mind interprets and reacts to situations, and then arm them with tools. With knowledge brings awareness, and awareness creates the opportunity for positive change.

Do you need support to achieve your goals and navigate daily life stressors? Have you been considering that it may be time to talk with someone to achieve the desired results you’ve been wanting? I enjoy working with clients struggling with addiction, depression/anxiety, life transitions, grief/loss, codependency, and relationship concerns. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and welcome all gender identities, sexualities, and presentations into my office.

Your authentic self is waiting for you! Challenging or traumatic life experiences often overshadow our authentic selves. We may feel stuck, lack motivation, or chronically procrastinate. Irrational and self defeating thoughts lead to fear, anxiety, depression, excessive worry, and may manifest in physical symptoms. When we live in this cycle too long it becomes our normal. We may recycle past trauma into present relationships. We find harmful ways to cope; such as people pleasing, codependency and addictive behaviors including, but not limited to substance abuse.

I work with children, adolescents and adults, in varying degrees of distress. Many clients enter their therapeutic relationship with presenting problems which may include depression, anxiety, dysfunction in a primary relationship, or grief and loss. Others present addiction and codependency patterns that cause chronic difficulties with maintaining healthy relationships. Some suffer trauma that remains buried and entangled deep within. All are seeking a new path out of their suffering and into an enlightened experienced of themselves and the world. Together we will seek that fresh perspective, allowing old wounds to heal and creating space for a renewed vision of hope.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker the past 16 years, I have worked with a variety of clients including Adolescents, Adults and Emerging Adults. I enjoy working with adults most. Having worked at a CMHC the majority of my career, I gained skills in working with adults presenting with a range of concerns including trauma, mood disorders, addictions, grief, anxiety and depression as well as life transition changes. I also have experience with anger management, parenting issues and multicultural concerns. I hold a range of clinical expertise and experience working with adults from a place of compassion, understanding and in a judgement free environment.

One of my great privileges in life is being afforded the opportunity to help others heal and grow from life hurts and challenges. Life transitions and struggles offer the opportunity to find greater clarity of purpose, more meaningful relationships, increased confidence, and personal satisfaction. Therapy is a unique and personal journey built on mutual trust and respect. My style is gentle and yet direct, respectful, engaging, and collaborative. I work with individuals, couples, and families to help identify and solve personal life challenges that arise individually, family related, and couple relationship difficulties. Healing, growth, and transformation is the goal.

Do you feel overwhelmed by intense emotions, painful thoughts, or unsatisfying relationships? Do you find yourself stuck in patterns that prevent you from living the life you want? I offer therapy for difficulties including anxiety, OCD, depression and PTSD. We can meet in my Lexington office, on Zoom, or in the peaceful setting of a private horse farm near Paris, where equine- and canine-assisted sessions are options.

I strive to create a therapeutic environment that is comfortable, non-judgmental and empathetic. I believe that you are the expert in your life and it is my job to assist you with identifying and applying solutions to the obstacles that you are seeking help for. After establishing a therapeutic partnership, together, we will create a self-care plan that will assist you between sessions. Participation in therapy can result in a number of benefits to you; thus I ask for your active involvement, honesty, and openness in order to make the changes you desire.

We all have tools we rely on to get through life, the problem is some of us have the wrong or broken tools. We keep trying to fix the problem with what we have, when what is needed is new tools. That is what you will find with me, the tools you need to tackle the issues you are facing.

Our counselors provide couples counseling for intimacy concerns, infidelity, high conflict, and communication problems. We provide couples retreats, couples counseling with co-therapists, and traditional couples therapy in-office and virtually.

Mental illness and/or addiction can be perceived as a raging sea of hopelessness. Lighthouse Professional Counseling Services desires to become a lighthouse in the midst of the storm by providing navigation on your journey. It is our desire for you to reach the ultimate destination of sober living and/or freedom from emotional pain. Our counseling staff includes: Debbie Reeves, LCSW, LCADC/Exec.

Living authentically and compassionately leads to inner peace. Trauma and distress can cause a plethora of confusing responses, making that peace seem unobtainable. Each person brings their own worldview, experiences, strengths and clues to unburdening oneself from the overwhelm. Healing and moving forward can seem daunting. Therapy transforms the mind-body system, leading to increased self-energy and clarity. Now also offering training for schools and organizations on becoming trauma-informed!

Healing comes from within. I work from an intergenerational approach to address the many factors that lead to who we are and how experiences affect us all uniquely. I believe that trust, honesty and empathy are the foundations of all healthy relationships and will always provide a safe place for healing. All of us are unique, our experiences are all pieces of who we are. I use multiple evidence based approaches to aid in healing. I have experience working with diverse populations and families of all compositions. I work with all ages and specialize in trauma, family dynamics/relationships, severe mental illness and neurodivergence.

I have been a social worker for over 20 years and look forward to assisting you in your journey to healing, acceptance, forgiveness, and peace of mind.
