Therapists in Asheville, NC

When you or your adolescent have an eating disorder it impacts almost every moment. Hopelessness, insecurity, frustration, anxiety, and grief become a part of every day. I work with people in various stages of eating disorder recovery- from the newbies to those wanting to maintain their progress. As one of only two clinicians in Asheville trained in best practices for adolescents, I am able to help clients and families using the latest research and make impacts that have lasting change. My adult clients are motivated. They've had enough of their life ruined by this condition and are done with suffering, they just need a path out.

Hello and welcome! My name is Taylor. I work most often with teens and young adults in the LGBTQIA+ community, and people going through life transitions, wanting to explore their identity, build self-esteem, and those experiencing effects of trauma, grief, anxiety, and depression. My community is important to me- I provide LGBTQIA+, gender, identity, life affirming care, incorporating mindfulness, expressive arts, parts work, attachment, and somatic interventions.

I work with both adolescents and adults (ages 12-65) experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, family conflict, major life transitions/planning, and challenges related to identity. I have a particular passion for working with men, individuals who are neurodiverse (ADHD and ASD), in religious recovery, identify as Latinx, navigating queerness, and/or are experiencing challenges related to oppressive cultural expectations. Occasionally, I will work with couples to improve communication, learn skills for co-regulation, and identify problematic patterns/dynamics within the relationship.

Are you feeling discontent with your life but uncertain how to find the joy you deserve? It is not uncommon to feel stuck while feeling eager for change. Seeking support is a brave and courageous decision. I am so happy you are here. I work with adults who are struggling with body image issues, disordered eating/eating disorders, ADHD (or presumed ADHD), depression, and grief/loss. A specialty of mine is working with people who live in larger size bodies per American beauty standards using a HAES (health at every size) approach. I truly believe you deserve to feel connected with yourself, your body, your communities, and this earth.

I hold a core belief that no one wants to be "bad" or do "bad." Keeping this in mind, I prefer to highlight strengths and focus on how we grow and learn in those challenging moments. My clients are in the driver's seat and they determine who is in the car, where the destination is, and how we are going to get there. My role is to help navigate the road ahead, process through things that have steered you off course, and help you get to your therapeutic destination safely. I love to find moments of humor and connection, but I am also prepared to sit with my clients in their moments of pain, processing and healing.

As a licensed psychological associate at Matone Counseling and Testing, I hope to assist individuals in overcoming obstacles they face, aid them in reaching their goals, and lead gratifying lives. I am committed to providing a safe space for clients to express and explore themselves. Additionally, I am passionate about working with adolescents, young adults, and adults struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, body image, and maladaptive eating behaviors.

It takes a lot of courage to ask for help when struggling. Be it stress, emotional, mental or behavioral difficulties, there are people to support you. I believe in the ability and potential of all persons to live happy and fulfilling lives. I promote holistic health and wellness through the components of both mind and body. I work to aid you in fostering hope and meaning in your life now and for the future. I encourage clients to set attainable goals and work closely with my clients to find value and meaning in life and gain greater life satisfaction and happiness through addressing cognitive, emotional and behavioral factors.

Now accepting Coaching clients! (Therapy practice currently full) Welcome to my site! I'm a High Performance Coach and Psychotherapist, with 20 years experience working with mindset, high performance, and habit building. I'm a wife, mother and business owner, and therefore an expert in juggling (and dropping) many balls at any given time. I'm passionate about supporting others in performing at the highest level with the least amount of stress. I've helped hundreds of clients make the shift from stress and burnout to high performance.

You've been in therapy before. And you're psychologically savvy enough to know that growth doesn't have to do with finding a diagnosis and grabbing a few coping skills for the road. As any normal human does, we develop narratives and behavioral patterns to help us ignore, numb, protect, or compartmentalize our psychological conflicts. If you're reading this and you can relate, I see you. You need to find a therapist who can help you to dig deep enough to identify these patterns and change the old narratives. Some of these patterns MAY include:

I am a contemporary, psychodynamic/analytic oriented psychotherapist, who will work with you to move through emotional obstacles to create pathways for deeply fulfilling change in your personal and/or professional life. My approach is based on understanding the combination of your past experiences, current situation and future hopes. I am both supportive and analytic in helping you move into underlying causes of distress. I work with couples, adults and pre-teens/teens who suffer from anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, career considerations and major life transitions including fertility, parenting, sexuality, divorce, affairs, empty nest. I welcome the opportunity to discuss your situation and needs.

People generally seek counseling because where they are is not where they want to be. Moving from one place to the other can only happen if changes are made. I focus on creating a trusting and safe environment with an emphasis on collaboration to help ensure that the process to change, though possibly difficult and even painful, is ultimately rewarding and lasting. My focus is on treating you as an individual with unique needs and goals and I will work with you to develop strategies for change based on the information you bring to each session.

I believe we are born innately good, creative and self-actualizing. It is my greatest gift to companion with others on the full spectrum of their human journey. Healing happens when we feel heard, seen, and "gotten" by another. Relational trauma and societal conditioning can cause us to doubt our inner sensings and disconnect from our deepest truth. I specialize in helping trauma survivors reclaim and trust what is most authentic in themselves. My clients are often sensitive, intelligent, creative and motivated to heal.
