Therapists in Lexington, KY

Keeping secrets and hiding parts of the self can be painful, and leave us feeling alone and anxious about the future. Together we explore new perspectives, and develop patterns of living that better serve connection, intimacy and more fulfilling interactions.

I offer a practical, nonjudgmental approach to those wishing to address difficulties or distress in their lives. My objective is to assist clients in meeting their goals through a process of consideration, collaboration, and resource-building.

Hi, I'm Amanda, I am grateful to help clients work through early life traumas and adult attachment, as well as more recent or current traumatic events. I also enjoy working with clients to improve emotional regulation skills to improve overall mood. I am currently licensed in Kentucky and Virginia. I have 8 years experience working with people of all ages, and I am currently working specifically with adults.

In a world filled with labels and titles, we are all simply human first. Being human means we are all bound to get it wrong sometimes no matter how much we have (or don’t have) figured out. Life is hard, and it’s natural that challenges sometimes cloud the way we see ourselves and the world; however, I believe worthiness is our birthright, and it is my goal as a clinician to help my clients see that their worthiness has no prerequisite and isn’t something to be earned.

Hi there, I'm Sierra! If Emily Dickens quote “I am out with lanterns looking for myself” speaks to you, I may be your right fit. Choosing to seek growth, change and healing can be a brave decision. I believe connecting with a therapist can be an invaluable tool in the that process. I would be honored to support you in unraveling the complex and intricate tapestry of your inner world. During sessions with me - you will take lead as the conductor, and I will be the facilitator.

I provide therapy for a range of concerns including mild-moderate depression, anxiety, substance use, life adjustment/stress management, and career. My experience includes in-patient, university, community, and private practice settings. I am a board approved clinical supervisor and serve as the clinical director of a university training center for graduate students.

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.

I have been working with the members of our community for over eight years and have partnered with various agencies throughout the city to ensure success for my clients. Throughout my education and experience, I have found that the therapeutic approaches I favor, but not limited to, are Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I would like to utilize my experience gained throughout my career to empower clients from all age ranges with-in the Lexington community.

Life is a journey and sometimes we may need a little help along the way. On life's journey we may experience anxiety, depression, grief or trauma which me may lead us feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, fearful or angry. Sometime we may need someone to walk beside us on the journey to assist in overcoming and healing from life's ups and downs.

I love working with young adults (20s/30s) who are interested in experiencing more authenticity, freedom, and joy in life. I provide a safe space to process the fears that hold you back from living your most authentic life and will help you soothe and comfort the wounded parts of yourself that act out in fear to stop you from being fully you. We'll talk about how your less authentic behaviors are your way of trying to protect yourself from pain or rejection and discuss whether these protective measures are still necessary in your current situation. My goal is to help you develop more compassion, gentleness and love towards yourself.

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.

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!

The burdens of life are many and unique to each one of us. When these burdens give little space for our true selves to lead, disrupting the awareness of one’s own brilliance and the beauty around them, counseling makes so much sense.

Compassion for all people is what led Sara to begin a career in counseling. After being an educator for 10 years, her calling became clear when experiencing the loss of a parent. “I never want anyone to feel alone in what they are going through.” This was the driving force that helped her succeed in finishing a Master’s degree from Liberty University.

I am trained to work with adolescents and adults with a variety of mental health needs, including anxiety, depression, career and vocational issues, substance abuse, family/marital concerns, Alzheimer's disease, bereavement, anger, and other mood disorders. I utilize various treatment modalities, including cognitive behavior therapy, solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, and dialectical behavior therapy. I provide a holistic approach believing you are the expert on what can work for you and will work just as hard as you to help you achieve your goals.

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.

Virtual and in- person sessions being offered. I work with all ages, and families to address a wide range of emotional and behavioral problems. I discover and get to know each person individually. I base my counseling style on my clients needs, strengths and goals. I utilize multiple models in the counseling experience: Advanced Accelerated Resolution; ART, Cognitive Behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral and Play Therapies. I apply Therapeutic Art Techniques to the treatment process. I also have had real life experiences dealing and overcoming life stressors of my own.

Sometimes we can feel stress and lost with relationships, our families, and ourselves. We all need help. Someone to listen to up.
