Marriage Counseling Therapists in Washington, NC

Hi, My name is Loretta Ebison. Thank you for visiting my Psychology Today profile! I look forward to talking with you and helping you come up with a plan that works in your life. Your sessions are all about you. For one hour you are the most important person in the room. Your safety and well-being are the most important things to me, for this reason I am currently seeing patients via teletherapy. I use CBT and Reality Therapy as my Therapeutic Modalities, but also use others as needed. I promise that I will be understanding of your situation and help you feel comfortable decompressing to me.

As a potential client, know that your courage to face personal vulnerabilities and uncertainties is acknowledged from the start. To realize and understand the efforts you've made already affords us early opportunities to consider possibilities in therapy. Your desired outcome is the goal. The process of sharing, reflecting, and adjusting any internal and relational patterns is our therapy means to this end. The clinical approaches perhaps most reflective in therapy are cognitive-behavioral, inter-personal and family systems, and acceptance/commitment. Interventions are based on your child/family, couple, and individual needs.

When life becomes unpredictable and overwhelming it can feel isolating and lonely. As a therapist, my goal is to ensure that each client feels heard, validated and safe, always knowing that there is someone there to listen and provide support. At times, we can feel that we need to hide our anxiety, depression, relational issues and worries. I offer a place where you are able to fully be yourself, where it is okay, not to be okay. My goal for each session is for you to feel supported and empowered to overcome obstacles and create an environment that promotes positive change.

Life can be…a bit of a rollercoaster at times and can often feel unmanageable. If you find yourself becoming bogged down by life’s twists and turns, I’m here to help! My name is Courtney Howard and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate in the state of North Carolina. My mission is to provide a safe space for you to explore, repair, and grow. Taking the steps to begin a counseling journey isn’t easy and I’m proud of you for searching for a therapist to fit your needs. Are you stressed, depressed, anxious, suffering with illness, grieving, or struggling with mood? Then I may be the perfect fit for you!

Congratulations on taking steps toward your journey to personal growth and healing. Therapy can assist you in finding direction and increasing tools and coping strategies. Choosing a therapist that aligns well with you is a critical decision. I believe you are the expert on your life and experiences. I also believe that therapy is a collaborative team effort. I am here to provide a safe, nonjudgmental place while we seek the answers you need. I tailor my approach to address your goals and challenges, guiding you toward unlocking your full potential.

I am a psychotherapist licensed in North Carolina and Virginia. In my career I have worked mainly in an in-office outpatient setting but recently I had a traveling position providing psychotherapy services to seniors in assisted living and nursing facilities along the east coast of NC. I have also had the opportunity to work in a school-based setting as well as in a juvenile residential treatment facility.

Need help figuring out why your relationship just keeps doing the same thing over and over? Do you feel like no one is actually hearing what you? Is it hard to get past something that happened a while back? We often keep repeating things because we think if we just do it again or do differently we'll finally unlock the barrier that's held us back. My people come to see me after trying something over and over and they feel defeated. Often, the secret is a small tweak from a slightly different angle that helps with trauma, anxiety, depression, communication, and/or relationships.

Imagine you're facing a challenge that might be familiar or perhaps something you can't quite put into words. In these moments, it's important to remember that you're not alone. We all encounter obstacles in life, but sometimes, they can feel insurmountable. You need a safe, welcoming space to explore your thoughts, express your emotions, and healthily address these challenges. It all begins with honesty – being true to yourself and permitting yourself to confront the issues at hand. That's where I come in. I'm here to support you on your journey toward overcoming these obstacles and regaining control.

Therapy is a unique and transformative experience, and it's my privilege to be a part of your story. I want to assure you that our therapeutic space is a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and concerns openly. As your therapist, I would be committed to providing you with the support, guidance, and empathy you need to navigate life's challenges and work toward your personal goals. Whether you are seeking help for specific issues, self-improvement, or simply a safe space to talk, I'm here to assist you every step of the way.
