Spirituality Therapists in Bolivia, NC

My joy is supporting others in coming back to themselves and ultimately to their connection with others and with the divine. Whether exploring the patterns developed during our conception, birth or early life, or connecting with the body’s wisdom, there is a way we can be with what is happening that allows us to integrate what is most essential. Slowing down, finding your rhythm, tuning in to what you are needing and wanting for yourself, being curious…some sessions are deeply restorative, some profound or surprising, some simply provide the necessary structure for living fully in this 3-D world.

You know it's possible to have an intimate and very satisfying relationship but perhaps you just don't know how to get there. You've tried in the past and most likely have a history of relationships that, shall we say, were less than optimal. You're wondering what role you play in either making them work or fail and going forward you're committed not to repeat what you know doesn't work. I understand. Sometimes you've even felt a little crazy in conversations with your partner and have been made to feel guilty for wanting more. I know. Here's the truth. You're not crazy for wanting more. Let's learn what works to make it happen!

I am taking new clients. My goal is to provide you with a safe space to grow and learn about yourself while letting go of what doesn't serve you. The first step in reaching out for support can be a scary one, but you don't have to take on the rest of the journey alone. I believe that therapy is a partnership built on trust, and though change may be difficult, it can become a little easier to cope with, with the right set of tools and support.

I believe in being a safe place for clients, offering encouragement, a listening ear and a different perspective. My view is one of no judgment. I offer peace, caring, warmth, empathy, and understanding. My mission is to help my clients find further freedom, clarity and direction. I am motivated by the passion to help people discover more about their identities and fulfill their ultimate purposes. I believe in the holistic approach of mind, body, and spirit.

I believe that every human being has the potential to live a healthy, satisfying, and abundant life, aligned with his or her values. My intention is to create a safe, secure, and comfortable atmosphere where I will develop with you, my client, a warm, trusting, cooperative, and mutually respectful relationship. Then, within the context of that relationship, we will explore the pressures/conflicts you are experiencing; what you have learned, during your lifetime, about how to respond to life events; how your particular personality figures into your current concerns; how you feel about your current concerns; and how you express those feelings.

Let me help you take the journey within. Although a generalist, I have extensive experience and training in the treatment of pornography, cybersex and related addictions and helping significant others. I enjoy working with clients who want to better understand themselves. I am a good listener with natural empathy, providing a safe and peaceful environment for your journey of self exploration.

Now Offering: Clinical Supervision for LCSWAs. Like many overwhelmed women, I'm guessing you've been taking care of the needs of others for so long that you've lost touch with how to take care of your own. I'm also guessing you're burnt out, and simultaneously feeling like you're doing too much and not enough. Whether you are hoping to process childhood wounds, relationship issues, or work stress we can work through it together. I enjoy working with women ages 18+ to address wounds related to their own upbringing, trauma, issues that come up in parenting, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Feeling broken or overwhelmed? I understand. I've done much research on addiction, codependency & adult children from dysfunctional families. It is possible to overcome barriers to intimacy and learn why we repeat the same relationship mistakes over and over again in new relationships or why we choose unhealthy people. We can change and think differently. It takes effort and accountability, but there is help and hope. Learn from your past. Don't continue to be its victim and let the past determine your future. I work with mental health and all kinds of addictions (substances and behavioral). Let's talk. Live life!

Hypnosis works to stop smoking, weight loss, stress, pain management, restructuring and reinventing your life . It also works for creating a positive new way of life.

Your story is unique. Inviting someone to know, share and explore your story in order to illuminate truths both wonderful and difficult is the courageous work of therapy. My goal is encouragement, growth and freedom for you. Returning you to a healthy balance in thinking, feeling, behaving and relating will be the focus of our work. I welcome individuals struggling with life transition issues, anxiety and depression, emotion regulation difficulties, work/life satisfaction challenges and relational issues. Marriage/couples work is welcomed.

An ideal client is a person wanting to explore meaning in life, means of improvement, freedom from bondage or other factors that deter them from realizing their dreams. They may want Christian counseling or simply to understand how they can reach their goals. They are motivated to embrace life in a purposeful way, moving towards the changes they seek for their well-being. They may present with issues in mental or behavioral health, including mental illness or addictions, and are seeking ways to help prevent or lessen the presenting problems in their life. They may want to cultivate their relationship with Jesus Christ.

I have my Master's Degree in Social Work and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). Along with my clinical experience, I trained under a Navajo Medicine Man for 3 years and an Apache Medicine Man for 11 years. My clinical work experience includes individual assessments, individual, couples, and family counseling. I work with adults ages 21 & older. I specialize in spirituality, domestic violence, PTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, couples/family counseling, and high conflict parenting. I also offer K-9 assisted therapy. My dog, Brody, has been professionally trained as a therapy dog.

I bring over 25 years of clinical experience in both inpatient psychiatric settings and outpatient settings that have included mental health agencies and an expanding private practice. I have a specialty in the spectrum of Addiction, Codependency, and Recovery, as well as Dual Diagnosis clients who struggle with mood disorders, or a traumatic event history while seeking sobriety. I offer treatment using insight enhancing, behavioral and cognitive therapies; as well as spirituality and systems theory approaches to address mood, situational, self-esteem, loss, and relationship problems. I see clients in individual, couple, and family modalties, and am available to faciltate interventions for significant others.

Life is filled with ups and downs. Depression, anxiety, and grief are among the most common reasons people seek a counselor. There is good reason for optimism- for many, these challenges are temporary. Any significant life event can cause upsets and create hardships adjusting. You are certainly not alone. Small steps and changes can lead to big differences in lives. Goals need to be reasonable and not overwhelming, accomplished at the client's pace. I often ask clients if we are moving too fast..or too slow? Spirituality is important, and I recognize the impact that a person's culture, values, and faith can have in the process.

The most helpful psychotherapy is a collaborative respectful relationship that honors your innate healing abilities. I will create a safe space for you to explore situations that are currently hindering you from living the life you desire. These might include past or recent traumatic experiences, behaviors that feel compulsive and/or harmful, life transitions, societal pressures, or the desire to "have it all together." Sometimes we seek relief in the wrong places which leaves us emotionally burnt out and seeking answers externally when the key to change is within.
