Therapists in Ballantyne East, Charlotte, NC

I tend to work well with someone who yearns for understanding. Someone who may crave social interaction, but is not quite sure how to go about it. Someone who is developing their identity and consolidating their sense of self. Someone who wants more out of life but is not quite sure how to get it. Someone who feels lost and plagued with self-doubt. Someone who is not sure why they engage in the same self-defeating behaviors over and over and over. I am open to working with a wide diversity of clients who represent various sexualities, ethnicities, racial identities, genders, and ages.

Your mind is racing, you feel overwhelmed and as though you can barely hold it together. You feel the pressure of the expectations of others and you live in constant dread of letting them down, or worse being discovered for being a fraud. Even in the quiet of the night your mind races with all the things you need to do and is constantly worried about what you have forgotten, or who you may have let down. You feel powerless to change any of it. This isn’t you, you are used to being fun, passionate, and excited. The worry, the pressure, the desire to be perfect, have all robbed you of your ability to truly engage with your life.

I understand that your journey towards seeking sexual and relational fulfillment is a deeply personal and sometimes challenging one. I'm Dr. Heinz, and I'm committed to helping individuals like you enhance intimacy, improve communication, reignite passion, and ultimately, transform your relationship and sex life. Your sexual well-being is of utmost importance to me, and I am here to provide you with the guidance, support, and solutions you need to achieve a fulfilling and satisfying intimate connection. As a seasoned sexologist with decades of experience, I'm here to offer you a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate space.

Welcome to a safe space where you can remove the mask of pretending like everything is okay. My work is focused on being neuroaffirmative, LGBTQIA+ affirmative, and culturally competent for all. Life can be unpredictable, sometimes things don't go as planned, and sometimes it feels like our brain is fighting against us, but I'm so glad you're here. It's okay to feel like you need to be heard, have someone to talk things through with, someone to celebrate the little wins in life, and someone who will hold you accountable to the goals you want to succeed in. I'm here to help.

I am a transformation-focused therapist practicing clinical social work. The primary focus of my practice is to help women and girls discover their true identity by breaking down the walls of shame, guilt, fear, anger, and sadness. I have a passion for serving high school, college and professional ladies seeking to activate their purpose and live an emotionally balanced life. I am also an Oncology Certified Social Worker (OSW-C) trained to provide specialized psychosocial counseling to individuals living with cancer. I address the psychological, social and emotional challenges women and families face when diagnosed with cancer.

Are you feeling sad or depressed? Do you feel irritable or angry with those around you? Do you feel anxious or panicky or are you having distressing thoughts that you can't get out of your head? Do you feel as if you are "out of control" or "going crazy"? Or do you feel like your child or adolescent is overly anxious or cautious, and has low self-esteem? I specialize in working with anxious and depressed, women, moms, adolescents, and children. I work with clients to meet their counseling goals with creativity, authenticity, and compassion.

I specialize in trauma, perinatal issues (postpartum depression, infertility, miscarriage, childbirth, etc.), couples, teens, and parent-teen relationships. 10 years of experience as a childbirth professional taught me that childbirth trauma is one of the most unrecognized forms of trauma, plagued by shame and fear of judgment. When it comes to couples and parenting, I am attuned to the ways individual mental health issues create dysfunctional relationship dynamics. Teens love my space because I provide a laid back (and sometimes fun!) environment where no topic is off-limits, and they can safely explore their issues and identity.

I have extensive expertise in working with individuals, families and children. I bring a deep understanding of the unique needs and challenges that arise during pivotal stages of development for children and the complexities in parenthood. I have worked with a wide range of concerns related to behavior, trauma, life transitions, parenting, grief and loss, relationships, family conflict, migration issues and I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to meet the specific needs of each family and child. This includes a variety of models in individual therapy, family therapy and child-centered play therapy.

Now accepting new clients! Taking the first step into therapy can be the hardest. I am here to help individual clients, adolescents ages 11 and up, and adults, navigate this process with ease. Right now more than ever things can seem so out of ones control. My goal is to help you navigate life's ups and downs and transitions that are thrown your way. My passion lies in helping those experiencing issues with depression, anxiety, grief/loss, trauma, relationship (peer) issues, and behavioral issues (teens) and general life transitions.

Do you notice that your teen is not themselves? Do they seem overwhelmed? Are they angry or withdrawn? As a parent of a struggling teen, you find yourself worrying about them and you want to make things better. But everything you have tried doesn’t seem to be working. It can be hard to reach out to a counselor because you want to find someone you trust who is knowledgeable but you also want that counselor to be able to get your teen to open up and talk about what is bothering them.

Counseling should be a safe and judgment-free place for individuals to voice their concerns. In a world where we are constantly judged, I feel that counseling provides a unique place to allow for personal understanding and growth while reflecting on what drives our concerns, emotions, and behaviors. The counseling journey should be a joint partnership to help the client realize their own potential for growth. I use a variety of therapeutic interventions that are centered around each individual.

I work with individuals who are interested in addressing life stressors such as Anxiety, Financial stressors, Career Counseling, Relationship Issues, Women’s Issues, Self-esteem, School Issues, Stress and Chronic Illness.

We will work together to build upon your strengths and find new ways of coping with life’s challenges.

Taking the first step and asking for help can be difficult but often necessary in order to improve the quality of our lives. I'm originally from Southern California and have lived in Charlotte for several years. I'm a licensed therapist, with a degree in psychology and a master's in clinical social work. I'm skilled at treating many mental health challenges and specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship issues & more. I also provide EEG neurofeedback training and brain mapping to established clients. I have a gentle "no-nonsense" approach that clients find VERY productive throughout the course of therapy.

I'm a clinical psychologist licensed in North Carolina and New York who is pleased to offer a flexible, safe, and secure telemedicine model. This virtual approach provides client confidence and stability in the face of current coronavirus health concerns. I work with my clients as a collaborative psychologist. This means that you and I will function as a team. If you need a highly trained guide who can walk with you to ease or resolve the discomfort of emotional difficulties or life transitions, I'm happy to help.

Now Accepting New Patients! How long have you been in pain? Have you been living with it so long that you don't remember how it started? Past and current damage can sabotage our attempts at living the life we deserve and prevent us from trusting others. Often before people enter therapy, they have tried many things to make changes in their lives in order to feel better. Nothing has worked- at least for long. Talking about your problems is not enough. I will help you identify destructive patterns that have interfered with your ability to enjoy life and replace them with healthy solutions.

I have worked with individuals with various concerns, including addiction, grief, ADHD, anxiety, depression and other mood disorders, trauma, personality disorders, relationship issues and disordered eating. I am especially interested in working with issues related to trauma and addiction. I am trained in various trauma modalities, including Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy. I completed a 60 hour somatic attachment certificate course. I take an eclectic approach to counseling and tailor the sessions to the client's needs. I take a client-centered, strengths-based and trauma-informed approach to counseling.
