Therapists in Olin, NC

Hello! I have over 25 years of experience & specialize in anxiety, trauma, chronic stress, self-regulation and recovery. I value in depth assessment which informs our process. Unlike some types of supportive counseling, I offer education about how life experiences are hardwired into our brains & how this impacts all aspects of life and our relationships. I also focus on teaching skills to transform anxiety and stress into resilience, calm, and increased joy. To do that, I use mindfulness, somatic/body-based skills, brainspotting, neurofeedback, psychedelic & ketamine - assisted psychotherapy, RRT, and nature-based connection.

Our licensed therapists have extensive training and experience in issues affecting adults, couples, children, adolescents and their families. We specialize in treating a range of conditions including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, attachment, addiction, grief, women/men's issues, ADHD, oppositional/defiance, trauma, post traumatic stress disorder, OCD, and much more. We also offer extensive effective parenting training if your child is oppositional, defiant, and sometimes even aggressive.

Carolinas Institute for Behavioral Health is a behavioral health clinic for children and adults. We also provide working memory therapy as a certified Cogmed Practice. We use the Gold Standard assessments and batteries for each evaluation in order to obtain an accurate, objective, measurable, and comprehensive evaluation presenting needs and chief concerns. Services include treatment and therapy for ASD, ADHD, Depression, Anxiety, OCD, and trauma. We utilize play, expressive, emotional, and behavioral therapies individually tailored to a patient's needs.

Finding a therapist that you feel like you can click with and understands you or your child can be an overwhelming route in the sea of mental health. Sometimes a major life event happens that shakes us to our core. Or we discover that we are starting to lose the tolerance we used to have to manage the twists and turns of this unpredictable life. Or maybe, we just need an objective person to listen and truly hear us. I ensure to provide a safe and open environment to process internal and external challenges. Let's get to a place where you and/or your child feel more confident in overcoming obstacles and finding joy in daily life.
