Adults Therapists in Asheville, NC

I received my training in psychotherapy from Naropa University in Boulder, Colorado. My aim in therapy is to help create an environment of openness for clients to explore their experiences and gently provide support to deepen insight, develop understanding, and cultivate compassion. I specialize in working with adults , who are having challenges with their relationships, who have had difficult upbringings, and persons in early or long-term recovery. I have extensive experience working with issues related to co-dependency, relational trauma, grief, adverse childhood experiences and growing up around alcoholism or mental illness.

I have a general practice whereby I offer individual and couple counseling. My approach is client-centered and I utilize several different therapeutic modalities, according to what is most effective with each individual client.

Insomnia, OCD, difficult life transitions, and anxiety and mood disorders are Kathleen’s main focus. She enjoys working with adults who need additional support in tackling issues that are getting in the way of the life they would like to lead.

I have a humanistic and client-centered approach. I view the counseling relationship as a collaboration between myself and you. Together we will work towards self-acceptance and self-awareness by dealing with issues such as moods, attitudes, thoughts, and behaviors that may be standing in the way of happiness and contentment in your life. I use an integrative method including cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, reality therapy, positive psychotherapy, and mindfulness training with a mind-body-and-soul model.

I have 45 years experience as a therapist, teacher, and researcher. At the Center for the Advancement for Human Potential I work primarily with adults , couples, and senior citizens. In therapy I encourage clients to consider changes in their thinking, behavior, and lifestyle in order to resolve problems and enhance their emotional and physical health. I enjoy running with my dogs and riding my horses.

I believe in the wisdom of our own unfolding and in the power of the therapeutic relationship to provide safe space for deep inner listening and healing. Whether you are seeking counseling because of acute pain, are feeling stuck, or long to uncover your greatest avenue for growth, I welcome the opportunity to partner with you and provide a container as we work towards your goals. My purpose is to help my clients live more connected and authentic lives, lives which are in integrity with who you truly are.

Hi and thanks for viewing my profile. I work with adults experiencing a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, self esteem, substance use, motivation and behavioral issues. I have over 20 years experience working with different populations including: men, women, LGBTQ, clients with chronic health issues, and underserved populations. Furthermore, my 25 plus years of experience in the Asheville community gives me a unique perspective on our local community and the resources both past and present.

Therapy can be useful to people from all walks of life. I'm here to support you. The quality of the relationship between you and your therapist is the crucial factor in any successful therapy. In-depth psychotherapy work depends upon the growth and development of a collaborative relationship, which supports your becoming aware of the formative aspects of your intellectual and emotional life. When we speak honestly, addressing our life histories and looking with courage at our life dilemmas – we improve our chances of living a satisfying and fulfilling life. This is done at your pace, and to the level you find helpful.

Talking about intimacy issues can be challenging and intimidating. I take every measure to create a calm and comfortable environment for us to talk in a matter-of-fact way. I work with people who would like to: experience more satisfaction in their intimate life; learn how to talk more comfortably to their partner about sexuality, sensuality, and intimacy; address a sexual problem that is causing concern in their life or relationship; receive help connecting with their partner in the bedroom; and explore ways to bring more pleasure to their partner.

At Smoky Mountain Counseling, we focus on holistic client-centered mental health care. We work with adults , couples, families and adolescents. In my work I help clients develop healthy boundaries, strengthen emotional regulation, and deepen self/other connection. Areas of focus include: Self Discovery, PTSD, Trauma, Insecure Attachment, Family Dynamics, Anxiety, Transitions, Addiction (substance & behavior), Self Harm, Mood Disorders, Parenting, Mindful Living

I believe in change; that when a person is dissatisfied, they can make little shifts that can create big impacts. I believe in the power of the individual. My typical clientele are adults struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, loss, family troubles, issues with mood, or trauma symptoms.

Real change is possible. Successful therapy explores human life in its fullest sense - what we do, what we think, and what we feel - while being grounded in the deep experience of living in a human body. My primary therapeutic framework is called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which provides a rich, evidence-based, blend of mindful and somatic interventions, along with a strong cognitive and behavioral orientation. Together, my clients and I examine our deepest values, and how those values are expressed in how we live each day. Our lives are not problems to be solved - they are opportunities to flourish.

I am passionate about creating therapeutic relationships rooted in care and authenticity. Through attuned listening, I witness clients make the unconscious material of their psyches and lives conscious. My practice serves youth and adults going through the many passages of life. My approach integrates different approaches depending on client needs including: Mindfulness-Based, Body-Centered/ Somatic, Gestalt, Nature Based, Transpersonal, and the Expressive Arts. I practice meeting the client where they are with dynamic and moment to moment awareness.

My primary focus in therapy – with individuals, couples or families – is to support and facilitate my clients in their journey to a deeper understanding and awareness of themselves. This goal is best achieved, I believe, by encouraging self-acceptance and insight, and by forming with each client a safe and nonjudgmental relationship. It is within this alliance that, together, we can explore, understand, and begin to gently dismantle the obstacles and unproductive patterns of coping that, although once useful in dealing with painful life events or childhood relationships, may now be keeping them from enjoying a more fulfilling life.
