Therapists in Asheville, NC

Hi, I am Regan. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. Please note, I am unable to return calls unless a voicemail is left due to the safety of our clients and confidential nature of therapy services. Within my practice I specialize in therapy for children, adolescents, and women. I am passionate about working with children learning to understand big emotions, women looking to navigate life, and mothers striving to rediscover themselves. From me, you can expect a genuine, creative, and holistic therapeutic style using evidence backed techniques.

Since 2012, I have worked with a vast array of clients. If you have been feeling lost, unsure of what's next, feeling increased worry, self-doubt, guilt, or shame—these may be indicators that it’s time to pause. I’d like to help you peel back your layers and make more room to breathe. If relationships have become increasingly difficult to maintain, I’d like to help you build your skills around communication, increasing intimacy, and improving effective dynamics to get your needs met. Sometimes coping through alcohol or drugs is a part of the struggle, and you are safe to talk about this here without judgment or a hidden agenda.

To the misunderstood, the misdiagnosed, and the overly diagnosed; to those who feel a sense of stuckness; to those experiencing deep, overwhelming thoughts and emotions; to those who wonder if there might be a different way or if anyone could ever understand and accept them; to those who struggle to feel or understand their own behaviors, thoughts, and emotions; to those who believe they may never be good enough; to those who believe they may be irreparably broken or damaged: ​ I am called to meet you with curiosity, creativity, and understanding.

I specialize in working with adult individuals and couples/families providing mindfulness and skills based psychotherapy. Let’s find new ways to work with old problems. For over 15 years I have specialized in working with the mind and the body using both traditional therapy and mindfulness techniques. This skills based approach, using non-violent communication and relationship enhancement therapy, a skills based learning approach to improve communication and empathy interpersonally. Let’s collaborate to find practical solutions and reduce your life stressors.

Life can be wonderful, but it can also be messy and difficult at times. I work with people who face a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, life changes, and concern over climate change. I believe that every person is unique, and I bring respect for that uniqueness into the therapeutic relationship. I am continually fascinated at the complexity, creativity, and resiliency of people. It is my hope that my clients feel genuinely valued and gain further understanding of themselves and their behaviors through the collaborative exploratory work we do together. Then a new way of living becomes possible.

Hi! If you're exhausted, frustrated, angry, disillusioned, or simply in need of guidance in a life transition or situation, you're in the right place. I offer a safe space to dive into the challenges on your plate. Anxiety and depression are my specialities, but please know that I work with clients on a wide array of topics. I often utilize traditional talk therapy, and I regularly pull in CBT techniques that I think might be helpful to you, but should you or I decide a different modality would be useful, we can discuss that as well. I want our sessions to be collaborative and for you to feel heard and supported.

Often times we tell ourselves “I just can’t make it” or “I’m not strong enough.” It’s hard to see self worth through the struggles of everyday life. Regaining strength, knowledge, and understanding is a challenge, but not impossible. Through personal self exploration and support, finding your value can be achieved. Addiction is a disease and recovery is a life long journey that requires commitment and self love. Not there yet? That’s okay! Together, we can figure it out. There is no one size fits all approach to recovery and learning what works for you is how you start to discover who you are again.

Do you struggle with PTSD? Having frequent nightmares? Overwhelming feelings of fear? Trying to find out who you are while dealing with the effects of trauma can be really hard, and it’s even harder if you’re feeling alone. If you’ve been walking the road of ‘survival’ for a long time, I’m here to help you imagine a life where you can begin to feel grounded, resilient, and free.

Starting a new journey can feel daunting and overwhelming. However, choosing to seek partnership to achieve growth as a person is self-love. Whatever it is that you may be experiencing, anxiety, depression, past traumas, grief/loss or even communication barriers with family and friends, the collaborative effort through therapy can assist you with self-identified goals. During the therapy process we will work on establishing a secure therapeutic relationship, where you can use your voice to share your needs. Therapy doesn’t have to be a chore and while partnering with me, we will integrate individualized goals to aid in your success.

I work primarily with couples experiencing relationship challenges (conflict, infidelity, relationship distance, parenting challenges) as well as with individuals who are facing personal challenges (stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and general difficulty with emotion management). It’s easy to feel stuck in cycles that bring negative, unwanted results in our lives. I work to facilitate a supportive and collaborative environment to help you heal from painful experiences, break those cycles and embody the change that you want.

You notice yourself trying to manage heightened anxiety or panic associated with uncertainty. Changes in your environment, social interactions, and other people’s moods feel overwhelming. You tune in quickly to other people's needs while navigating the experience of feeling sensitive, shy, or struggling with self-esteem. When too much is going on at once you recharge by withdrawing to a quiet place to have a sense of relief. You may identify as a highly creative and innovative person wondering, “How can I get above my self-doubt?”

Being a human is hard sometimes, and when you're in the middle of the struggle it can feel like no one gets it. If this sounds familiar, I'd love to walk side-by-side with you...not to "fix" you because you were never broken, but to remind you that there are no official rules to navigating life. The rules you've learned to follow are made up but they've kept you stuck and focused on what you feel things "should" look like for too long. Let's work together to uncover the things that matter most to you instead of all the ways you've been told you're doing life "wrong." You deserve better and the world needs you as your authentic self.

Are you struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, addiction, depression, anxiety, or major life changes? Sometimes we need someone to help us get grounded, reconnect to ourselves and our relationships, and get through challenging times. I’m a licensed therapist in Asheville, NC, and I’m here to support you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. I have been supporting individuals and their families since 2004.  I use an attachment based, psychodynamic approach to healing trauma and relationships, along with Brainspotting. I specialize in treating trauma, attachment wounds, and addiction.

Do you find yourself putting other's needs before your own, and then feeling resentful? Do you often feel you're not "good enough" or worthy of love and connection? You want to feel comfortable in your own skin and connected in your relationships, but find yourself getting distracted by anxious thoughts about what others think of you. Do you desperately want to embrace who you are - your unique strengths, challenges, and everything in between?

Sometimes we are looking for someone to hold the hope for us. Throughout my life, I have been drawn to the story; the lore of identity, the narrative of families, the truth inside the metaphor. I feel it is of the upmost importance to provide people with a safe space to share their truth, a place to be honest and seen while challenging the stories we tell ourselves. As a person, I hope to be a lantern that can help to illuminate the way for you to reclaim your story. As a therapist, I received my bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Columbia International University in 2012 followed by my master’s in clinical counseling in 2016;

Are you going through transitions in your life? Or perhaps you are stuck and unsure how to move forward? Are you struggling with uncertainties, doubts, and perhaps some anxiety? If so, let's talk! I love to help clients who are going through major life transitions (such as endings or changes in current relationships), gender or sexuality questioning (LGBTQQ+), divorce, grief, career changes, and other challenging circumstances.

Hi, I'm Brit. I'm a neurodivergent and highly sensitive expressive arts therapist. I support folks in Asheville and virtually throughout NC. I focus on working with children, teens, and adults who are navigating anxiety, life transitions, low self-worth, sensory sensitivities, and grief or loss.

Do you feel overwhelmed? Have you endured unbearable circumstances in the past? Do you feel like you spend your life in a rushed and hurried state, longing to slow down, only to be unable to relax when you have the chance? Do you feel a persistent aloneness or separateness, even in the midst of your acquaintances, friends, family, and colleagues? Do you feel stuck in some area of of your life, be it love, work, home, or even your spiritual life? If so, I can help!
