Therapists in Boone, NC

Over 15 years of practice. Working with people is a privilege & a humbling experience. I work with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, couples, and families. I concentrate on clients' strengths, and addressing dysfunctional thinking and behaviors that creates mental unrest. A great percentage of our happiness is felt in response to having healthy relationships. When we experience distress in relationships with others we feel a sense of betrayal and loss. In therapy, you will learn to identify and regulate feelings to communicate your needs in a non-defensive manner. It is my privilege to walk that journey with you.

Join me in learning the tools and skills to intentionally create the life that you desire. I work with clients who are looking to strengthen trust in themselves. My overarching goal for every client who comes to see me is for them to have a more loving, compassionate relationship to themselves, others, and their past. I use a holistic collaborative approach to counseling that recognizes our unique multidimensional nature, and honors the connection between mind, emotions, energy, and body. I specialize in Brainspotting, Parts work/IFS, and Gottman Method for couples, .

I believe there is no true beginning or end to Healing, working on ourselves, or trying to have forward motion in our lives (but that it DOES get better!), so any entry point into counseling as a tool in those processes is the right one. /"This is heart work, and you can't think your way around this; you've gotta feel your way through it." / /"The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind."/

Hello, I have been working in therapy, or mental health and addictions recovery, for the past 20 years. I enjoy working with adults who are going through a transition, change, need extra support, or are dealing with on-going struggles. Some areas I specialize in include managing symptoms of depression, anxiety, anger, bi-polar, past trauma, parenting struggles, pregnancy and postpartum mood disorders, relationship issues, coping with a loved one's mental health or addiction, and addictions recovery.

Young man who is seeking a relationship with a young lady but having a hard time knowing how to pursue her and connect with her. We discuss what makes it hard for him to relate with a female. Then talk about how he sees himself and what his thoughts are about himself and the conclusions he has made. We work on learning to capture all those negatives thoughts and replace them with positive thoughts and the reality and truth about his life. Learn how to start a conversation with the opposite sex and develop better interpersonal skills as a young adult. Also, learn how to develop more self confidence, being assertive and decisive.

I come from a strengths-based, solution-focused, somatic perspective, using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and a wee bit of humor, when appropriate, to help you find new ways of thinking that get you nearer to who and how you want to be. I am a big believer that you already have everything you need within you, we just need to figure out how to reorganize what you already know to be true.

We are a group practice, we take many different insurances, and file your claims for you. Our therapists will work with you to help find understanding, a solution or a change for you or your situation. Counseling/Therapy is based on you and your situation alone. Everyone is different and everyone's situation is different, so we will create an individual plan for you and your specific concerns. There is no use of a template or generalized formula. The therapeutic formula we decide on will come from you and your concerns. The counseling experience will be unique to you and your situation.

I work with humans on feeling more fully into their own experience and allowing space for those in their life to do the same especially through what might seem like the most difficult and painful impasses. These difficulties may include identity, sexual orientation, grief, infidelity, attachment injuries, chronic conditions, addiction, or trauma. I work with families, partnerships, and people of ALL makeups from the most diverse to the most traditional.

** Christian Counseling ** My professional experience has been working with adolescents, college students, adults, working on various issues, and wanting someone to help them in the journey. No one lives life without going through something that makes them question whether they can work through it on their own. This is the very place God has for us to come to him and his strength. I have personally experienced a few of these, and have been given a calling for helping others in theirs. My practice aims to shine light on the purpose we have on this earth, and walking with you to uncover the roots of why you struggle.
