Therapists in Asheville, NC

Trained in couples counseling, addictions counseling, sex therapy, EFT, EMDR, and attachment-based modalities. Life is hard. It's beautiful, it's devastating, it's complicated. And it does not have to be lived alone. It is my privilege and purpose in life to walk alongside you as you seek your own fulfillment, direction, and answers. Our therapeutic relationship will be caring, kind and full of curiosity.

In therapy, I create sacred space for clients to bring compassionate curiosity to life experiences. Therapy is a place to deepen one’s connection and relationship with the self, and to gain embodied insight about one’s personal process, dynamics, and patterning. It is also a place to explore one’s relationships to others to build more fulfilling connections and intimacy in one’s life. I offer various tools to support you in your journey, such as mindful self compassion, guided visualization, self inquiry, embodied parts work, and a somatic (body based) orientation to trauma.

What's between you and living a truly satisfying life, one aligned with your values and your highest intentions? What prevents your relationships from flourishing? Through present time, "in the moment" explorations via reflections, inquiry and encouragement, conscious and unconscious information is utilized to promote healing. Visit: deborahaburns.com

My goal as a therapist is to help participants uncover their inner strength and ability to adapt to challenging life experiences. I enjoy creating new relationships based on the common goal of growth and I always attempt to make therapy an enjoyable experience, whether working with an 8 year old or a 49 year old! I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship as well as the opportunities for nature and therapeutic activities to increase personal growth. Most importantly, I believe in the ability for positive change to occur with an individual who is dedicated to this pursuit.

Okay, so I'm thinking if you're here looking for a therapist, maybe you feel like your life has become a complete shit show. Or maybe you're just so sick and tired of the same old, same old, but you don't know how to stop or change it. Or maybe you feel frozen in time by the trauma you experienced in your life. Maybe you feel so stuck that any sort of hopeful, positive, and rewarding future is completely out of your reach. OR maybe it's something else like the inability to manage your emotions, or stop using, or push past the storm or grief.

The motives for someone seeking therapy are as unique as the person seeking therapy. Some people desire to process past unresolved issues. Sometimes, people feel like they repeat patterns or are stuck in a situation and don't know how to do something different. Therapy can help a person process troubling and traumatic events that occurred in the past. Counseling can help a person cope with recent upsetting events, such as the death of a loved one, or a sudden transition/loss, such as a relationship breakup.

You may have landed here because you’re desiring healing, change, or living into a more present, balanced, and authentic life.

I believe every child and adolescent has the potential within themselves to become healthier and happier, and it is my job to help them unlock that potential. Traditional cognitive and behavioral approaches often fail to create meaningful change, which can lead to feelings of failure or discouragement rather than empowerment. Whether your child or adolescent is struggling with self-esteem, social challenges, or regulation skills, I can help them recognize and unlock the skills and strengths that they already have to over come those challenges.

I am not able to accept new clients at this time. I have over 35 years of experience as a mental health clinician. I am trained in psychodynamic psychotherapy - which means that I believe that who we are as adults is shaped by the past relationships we had in our families. The difficulties we have in our work, relationships and within ourselves, can be managed better and overcome, when we have greater understanding of how these earlier experiences have shaped us. Change happens as this understanding opens up new possibilities for what we want for ourselves, and how we experience ourselves and others.

Identifying strengths in each person is the foundation of my work. I work with children, families, teenagers, & adults. Families & individuals come to see me if they are experiencing significant life transitions, like divorce, grief, or loss, or they are struggling with interpersonal relationships or unhealthy attachment styles. I am passionate about supporting adolescents processing trauma & helping them find their innate resiliencies to cultivate healthy lifestyles. I work with young adults transitioning into adulthood, identify their values, goals, & work on their unhealthy thoughts or actions keeping them from excelling in life.

Sometimes life can be overwhelming and it can feel like we are stuck. At times our attempts to deal with challenging situations, thoughts, and feelings don't work and can even work against us. The things we do that help in the short-term can backfire in the long run and get in the way of living with purpose. If you would like to learn science-backed methods that help you respond effectively to challenging thoughts, feelings, and situations, and move towards what you determine to be a meaningful life, my approach to therapy will be helpful.
