Therapists in Bellarthur, NC

Regardless of age, race, gender, economic status, religious affiliation, etc., life presents challenges and we can find ourselves in low places we never anticipated. In those seasons, it is imperative to have a safe space where you can be heard, validated and supported. In therapy, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral, Psychodynamic and Solution-Focused approaches; however, I recognize and respect that all clients are different and may require a different approach, so I adjust as necessary. I look forward to helping you work through the situations in which you might find yourself and assist you in becoming your ideal self!

What do you need right now? What are you carrying that feels to heavy? Have you been dealing with hurt and pain or do your emotions feel like that are overtaking you? If any of this sounds familiar, maybe you are in the right place to ask for what you need....a little support and a little help. We all need that sometimes. Take a deep breath and be assured that you have already taken the hardest step...looking for help and reaching out. So, if you are ready, let's get started helping you build more confidence in your ability to handle the unexpected events that have left you feeling shaken, defeated or alone.

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, self doubt, anger, resentment, or hurt? Are you the “strong" one? Do you feel overwhelmed trying to juggle the demands of family, work or school, and relationships? Is there a sense that something needs to change but you can’t figure out what? Are you interested in learning more? You deserve to be understood, valued, and given the opportunity to gain the tools for a more fulfilling life. I offer services that empower my clients with tools to live their best life! My goal is to create a counseling & coaching environment that is relaxed and safe so you can feel comfortable talking openly.

Do you experience depression, anxiety, stress, addiction, relationship challenges, or trauma? Do you tend to feel lonely, hopeless, sad, angry, empty, tense, or stuck? Sometimes, when we feel that way, the thought of telling another human about it might be uncomfortable. I offer a safe space in which you can talk freely, without judgment. I work from a collaborative, accepting, and compassionate perspective, which means your needs and wants are always considered and respected.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and have certification as a National Certified Counselor. It is my goal to provide meaningful, introspective professional and purposeful therapeutic methods to help one navigate challenges presented by life. I provide therapy in a confidential, warm, non-judgmental, and safe environment. My educational and career background has prepared me to utilize a variety of treatment methods, from solution-focused to cognitive behavioral therapy (making connections between your past and your present) to guide the sessions.

I have experience working with individuals and families (ages 5+) with all manners of mental health diagnosis and external stressors especially past and current traumatic experiences, depression, anxiety, grief, stress, life adjustments, anger management, and oppositional behaviors.

Are you stressed, depressed, anxious, or angry more often than not? Tired of those days where you are just sick of everyone and everything and find yourself thinking "fuck it" a lot? Do others often ask why you're acting the way you do? Or, do you have substance use concerns, but have not ever felt like your needs were met with understanding? It can be hard picturing yourself being completely vulnerable with a stranger, I know. One constant in my treatment delivery: openness, acceptance, and transparency. Come as you are; we will work through the rest. Oh, and by the way I didn't pick this Karen haircut. I had cancer. All good now.

Imagine you're facing a challenge that might be familiar or perhaps something you can't quite put into words. In these moments, it's important to remember that you're not alone. We all encounter obstacles in life, but sometimes, they can feel insurmountable. You need a safe, welcoming space to explore your thoughts, express your emotions, and healthily address these challenges. It all begins with honesty – being true to yourself and permitting yourself to confront the issues at hand. That's where I come in. I'm here to support you on your journey toward overcoming these obstacles and regaining control.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and stressed, struggling to find balance and purpose in your life? As a Christian life coach, I specialize in guiding individuals seeking to reconnect with their true selves, discover their life's purpose, and build stronger connections with themselves, God, and others. Whether you're grappling with anxiety, self-doubt, or a sense of being lost, I'm here to support your journey toward a calmer, more confident, and purposeful life. Together, let's move you toward a life of freedom and flourishing.

My goal as a psychologist is to increase self-awareness and create positive change in a nonjudgmental environment. Psychotherapy can relieve emotional distress, improve one's quality of life, help process painful events and increase self-awareness. Unfortunately many people are conflicted about the decision to get help and may see psychotherapy as a sign of weakness. It has been my experience that people who are unhappy for whatever reason and choose to go to psychotherapy are being assertive, healthy, and courageous in the handling of their problems.

I recognize it can be hard to reach out for help as well as make the time and space for yourself during the everyday craziness of life. We often put everyone else ahead of our own needs and put ourselves last and our needs on hold. Time just seems to fly by and nothing changes. By the time we are looking for a therapist or reaching out for help, we are overwhelmed and need support now. You may feel exhausted and may not even know where to start to make things better.

My goal as a therapist is to create a safe space for clients to enhance the most important relationship they have, the one with themselves. I work with clients to enhance their self-awareness by identifying limiting beliefs and patterns of behavior that prevent satisfaction and peace in their lives.

Stressed, tired and/or overwhelmed? Tired of feeling like your life is out of control? Tired of feeling like you don’t belong or that you will never be good enough.

Tired of being sick and tired of trying to same things with the same results?!?!?!? No worries!! You are not alone and it’s not time to give up!! Maybe it’s just time a little assistance!!!!!

Hi, my name is Geraldine Jones. People refer to me as "Gerri". I have 30 plus combined years of experienced in Social Work, IDD, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Management, in the public and private sector. My professional and personal growth was inspired by many people and their paths I was fortunate to have crossed. There is a time to heal, a time to celebrate, a time to make decisions and a time to try to make sense of life, when the trajectory or path changes, whether expected or unexpected. The space I offer to you is non-judgmental. My goal is to help redefine what success and purposely living looks like for you.
