Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Oxford, NC

My clients are brave and intelligent; experts on their own beliefs, thoughts, feelings, and experiences. They are open to support and positive coping, as well as thoughtful feedback about different options for how they manage and handle stress. My clients recognize that their current or innate reactions may not always be the most productive ways to handle situations and they are ready to make changes. Presenting problems may include: Depression, Anxiety, Anger management, Trauma, Adjustment, ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and Stress management.

Whether I am working with a young child or an adult, I believe that the healing process is a journey of returning home to the authentic self with the therapeutic relationship as a vehicle supporting the exploration. My name is Aimee and I hope to walk along with you on this journey, offering compassion, co-regulation, and some education along the way. When we can lean into the understanding of how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors have come to be, we may also begin to explore where we may have gotten stuck and how we can have a renewed access to the wisdom and assets that our bodies possess.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over nine years of experience in the field of social work.

I have worked with individuals that have experienced grief, depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, parenting problems and career challenges. I am experienced in mindfulness and self-awareness. My therapy style is empathetic, compassionate, and being respectful of your choices.

Accepting New Clients! You want other people to see you as smart and helpful, but you question these things about yourself and worry that you may not be measuring up. Your anxiety has been interfering in your day-to-day for awhile now and you may have even found yourself having panic attacks—something you now want to avoid at all cost. Others may have told you that you are too sensitive, but you can’t help what you feel and that you sometimes just need to get away from all the people and noise. You’ve found yourself struggling with your relationships, socializing, or both—and you just wish things didn’t have to be so hard.

I believe counseling is a collaborative process in which we work together to find solutions so you can return to a full and authentic life. By providing an open/accepting environment, you will have a safe space to transform challenges into opportunities for growth and learning. I have over 20 years of experience supporting and helping people struggling with a variety of concerns including such things like anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/loss, coping skills, life transitions, self-esteem, chronic stress, and abuse.

My name is Julia Smith. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and full time a tele-health therapist who is dedicated to helping individuals enhance their emotional well-being.

I possess specialized training in evidenced based practices including: Brainspotting Phase I & II (pursuing certification), Trauma Focused-CBT, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing (MI).

I provide services for clients who I believe have the capacity to resolve their own problems with my assistance. I offer a professional relationship with my clients to assist them in exploring and resolving difficult issues. I believe that as people become more accepting of themselves, they are more capable of finding happiness and contentment in their lives. Self-awareness and self-acceptance are goals that sometimes take a long time to achieve. While some clients may need only a few counseling sessions to feel complete, others may require months. I offer a caring, empathic space to explore, heal and to try new ways of being.

I specialize in working with adults struggling with the shifting challenges of life. I offer both therapy and coaching to better meet the needs of each individual I work with.

You have many options for therapists and how to approach enhanced wellness... And rarely is there a one-size-fits-all option. My clients tend to say that what they get from working with me is direct and immediate relief, with hope and strategies to improve their moods, productivity and relationships.

Do you have persistent worries, have boundary issues, always feeling stuck or sad or are haunted by past traumas? I can help you in your healing journey and we can work together to untangle unresolved issues in your life. Above all however, compassionate listening is the first hallmark of my practice. To feel safe enough to make changes you must first feel you have been truly heard without judgement while expressing your concerns. Together we can create a space where both your feel safe to express Bothe thoughts and embodied emotions. Feel free to reach out to me for a short free 15 minute session.

You deserve to feel heard and understood. Life transitions, relationship challenges, and exploring your identity can be overwhelming and make us feel alone. Starting at a new school, beginning a new job, or moving to a new place can be exciting and also bring up things within ourselves that may be unexpected or distressing. You may be asking yourself: What makes me feel most like myself? What are other people thinking? It can feel impossible to determine if you're where you "should" be as you navigate everything else that comes with being a teenager, college student, or young adult.

I believe for a person to thrive one MUST first be willing to examine themselves and be courageous enough to take the necessary steps to heal.

For children and adolescents grappling with trauma and anxiety, my goal is to provide a sanctuary where they feel understood, validated, and empowered to heal. Together, we work towards fostering emotional regulation, restoring a sense of safety, and reclaiming joy in their lives. For parents and guardians, my goal is to partner with you and provide opportunities to build and grow your relationship with your child. For adults and children who are drawn to spiritual growth in Christianity, I enjoy helping adults meet those goals through talk therapy.

Let’s get real- we all need help sometimes. At any age, trying to make sense of the world can feel overwhelming. Is Mercury in retrograde? Maybe. But it doesn’t change our ability to help ourselves. Together, let’s turn down the noise and regain control over what is really important to you. Therapy should be engaging. I work with clients to find ways to connect in a real way using games, music and art. Difficulty with communication? What about navigating all life's transitions? Together, we will create a safe space to navigate these challenging areas and to find the way to peace and purpose.
