Therapists in Angier, NC

As a therapist, my goal is to provide a safe, client-centered environment for my clients to explore their feelings and patterns of thinking while setting and working toward their personal goals. I utilize evidenced-based practices including CBT. I also love to incorporate play and art therapy techniques in my practice with children and adolescents. I am also passionate about teaching clients about brain-based techniques founded on neuroscience to help them better understand how to manage stress. I offer group counseling for parent support. Christian counseling upon request.

I work primarily with adolescents and adults. I have experience working with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem and codependency issues, boundaries, grief, and phase of life adjustments. I use an integrative and individualized approach aimed at improving the quality of life of my clients by helping them find balance, learn coping skills, rediscover choice, decrease suffering, heal body image issues, increase self-esteem and create a life worth living. I recently became a certified SYMBIS facilitator. My hope is to work with couples before their wedding day helping them prepare for marriage!

I am a NC Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, with a specialized certification in Accelerated Resolution, The Blast Technique, and a certified Meditation Teacher. My approach is eclectic and tailored to the client's needs using aspects of varying modalities, such as: CBT, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, The Blast Method, and Somatic Based Therapy. The BLAST Technique (Bi-Lateral Analysis and Stimulation Treatment) is technique that speeds up the process and efficacy of PTSD and trauma for a more efficient experience for the client and therapist by utilizing the brain’s natural processing systems, like the amygdala.

I have extensive experience working with individuals who are experiencing crisis as a result of life changes and mood disorders, i.e. depression, anxiety and loss. My goal is to treat individuals, couples and parents in a supportive environment where personal responsibility and active decision making are encouraged. I am also a Divorce Mediator and Certified Grief Recovery Therapist. I believe my experience in these areas also contribute to the knowledge base I have regarding life transitions.

We all face times in our lives when the challenges we face may generate a sense of being overwhelmed and feeling uncertain. Such feelings can often be our signal to seek change. Therapy can be a powerful tool in obtaining healthy change, growth and empowerment during the challenging times in our lives. Working cooperatively with a trained therapist often provides individuals the time and space needed to examine these challenges and address how thoughts, feelings and behavior influence the ability to live intentionally.

While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in individual, couples and family therapy and I maintain a private practice in Fuquay Varina, NC. I have over 28 years of experience as a social worker serving children to adults with a broad range of emotional and behavioral concerns.

I have over 15 years experience working in mental health. I have worked with children and youth for 20 years. I have worked with youth in crisis and their families, adults struggling with substance abuse and severe mental illness, youth in the foster system, parents of children in the foster system, individuals incarcerated, as well as post-release. I am familiar with the legal/court system as well as social services. I am well versed in how to locate and use community resources and am very comfortable collaborating with other providers about your overall health and wellness.

I'm Sarah Olson, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have the privilege of walking with people during difficult moments in their lives. I believe there is nothing that life can hand you that cannot make you a better person once you do the work and get to the other side of it. I want to discover this with you. Coming to me as a therapist would feel like exploring your honest feelings and experiences with a non-judgmental friend that can really hear you. I want to gain your trust so we can talk about what truly is stopping you from being your best self.

Looking forward to seeing you grow.

With all of the changes recently occurring in our daily lives, feeling lost and uncertain about life is becoming a very real part of your reality. Looking at yourself today, you realize that you are a shell of what you once used to be. The happiness, joy, and fulfillment of life that you once knew has become a distant memory. So much so that you no longer recognize the person staring back at you in the mirror. As each day passes, the feelings of being "stuck" have taken hold and it seems likely that there is no hope in sight. It's almost like being stuck in a bad dream that you can't wake up from.
