In Person Therapists in Dilworth, Charlotte, NC

Life is often full of many challenges and trials. Sometimes you may feel as though you are able to take on these challenges head on. Other times, you may feel like you are just struggling to get by and that it is difficult to keep your head above water. You may feel anxiety and worry that keeps you in a constant state of stress and unable to relax. There may be feelings of sadness, hopelessness, or of being stuck or unmotivated. You may struggle to feel a sense of security in your relationships or you may feel as though you lack confidence in yourself.

If you feel unsure on how to navigate through daily life stress, you're not alone. Sometimes we get caught up in the different roles we fulfill and lose ourselves in the process. Maybe you've coped with mental and emotional instability by suppressing how you feel or have engaged in negative behaviors that make the situation worse. Whatever your going through, it won't define who you are nor should you allow it to hold you hostage. You have the inner strength to push through any circumstance, all you need is support and the right motivation.

You've gotten lost in the daily grind and drifted apart. Work, kids, laundry.. you feel like roommates who split chores. You don't feel heard, seen, admired, desired or understood. It seems like you keep fighting over little things, that quickly turn into arguments about unresolved issues that have stuck around for years. You've tried everything. Ignoring it, conceeding, appeasing, fighting, silence, retreat..

Having trouble sleeping, and/or worried all the time? Does it seem you get angry over the smallest thing? Or having trouble trusting others? Traumas experienced throughout our lives can show up in our daily lives in many different ways and will look different in everyone. Maybe it's constant worry about anything and everything or bouts of sadness that seems to come from nowhere. Maybe you've been feeling this way for a few months or it's been years, but the feelings don't seem to resolve themselves.

None of us go through life without experiencing changes or life transitions. We struggle with depression and fight off our anxiety. We go through our day on autopilot, lacking energy, and feeling hopeless. We isolate ourselves from friends and family, we feel misunderstood, or we temporarily escape reality & lessen our pain with alcohol, drugs, food, etc. Resisting change causes us pain and creates additional stress and anxiety in our lives. Acceptance and embracing change begins the healing. If we approach transitions with curiosity rather than fear, and intention rather than reluctance, we can respond to change and foster growth.

You’ve been experiencing a lot of changes in your life, and you were hoping they would make you happy. New experiences bring a sense of excitement and adventure, but they are often accompanied by fear and worry. Maybe you just graduated and got your dream job but feel overwhelmed by anxiety. You got a fresh start in a new city, but feel lonely and disconnected. You are starting a new relationship and are scared it’s not working out, or maybe you just ended a relationship. You’re navigating the reality that some of your friendships may be causing more problems than they are worth.

Our clinicians practice from a perspective that is biologically, developmentally, and experientially integrated, while providing a safe and welcoming space that mirrors our mission to help foster safe and welcoming relationships. Jennifer has experience and training in working with children who struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, attention deficits, hyperactivity, opposition, irritability, difficulty with mood, difficulty in school, poor relational or social skills, adjustment concerns, grief and loss, histories and symptoms related to trauma, and poor attachment.

I started my career as an electrical engineer in the aerospace industry, working and leading teams for the International Space Station and a satellite mission. Wanting to work more closely with people, I switched to business strategy consulting, traveling to Fortune 100 companies on a weekly basis for two years. While I got the chance to solve complex problems, I realized I wanted to help people solve the problems that mattered to them at a deeper level. This, coupled with my own recovery journey, is what drives me to do exceptional therapy work today.

Whether you are just beginning or continuing therapy, if you are reading this, I want to applaud you for making it to this point. We all experience the highs and lows of life and sometimes we need more help than our friends and family can provide. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I use a blend of therapeutic modalities to assist individuals, couples and families working through relationship issues, depression or anxiety, life transitions, trauma, eating disorder and body image challenges, family dynamics and anything that makes them feel stuck or defeated with their current circumstances.

Are you looking to solve a personal or relationship problem, to manage depression or anxiety, or to heal the hurt of a loss? My practical, and positive approach has helped hundreds of people like you. I have 30 years of social work experience and a calm, gentle personality that will put you at ease. I have had extensive training in marital therapy from both John Gottman and Harville Hendrix's Imago Relationship Therapy and cognitive-behavioral training with David Burns. I volunteer with the American Red Cross, and teach meditation classes in the community.

As a therapist, my aim is to help guide you to a place that you are struggling to reach.  I will meet you where you are and tailor the therapy to your needs. By providing a welcoming presence, I work to create a space that is safe and comfortable. Life can take us to all types of challenging, exciting, and sometimes unknown places.  Having a non-judgmental atmosphere to process it all can promote growth within the mind and body connection. If you are struggling with identifying/accepting emotions, negative thinking, self-esteem/self-confidence, relationships with others, or the relationship with yourself, I am here to help!

Are you a high achiever or high performer? Do you feel like you're failing at everything some days or not showing up as your best self? Do you want better relationships? As a former attorney, I understand feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and burned out. Something isn’t working, you're stuck, or frustrated. Perhaps you struggle with perfectionism, imposter syndrome, or overworking. I'll help you achieve solutions, improve your relationships, and make the positive life changes you are looking for. You can feel hopeful and supported here. I incorporate humor, compassion, and skills with clients. Therapy can be enjoyable and effective!

I enjoy working with clients struggling with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), anxiety, and perfectionism. I recognize the challenging cycle of intrusive thoughts, anxiety, obsessive doubt, avoidance, and compulsions, and can help provide some guidance around becoming “unstuck” from difficult patterns that are no longer serving you. If you struggle with using substances or other behavioral addictions to cope, and are wanting to set some goals surrounding your use, I am dually licensed to treat co-occuring substance use as well.

My name is Molly (she/her) and I am here to support you in your unfolding story. Starting therapy can be extremely daunting. My goal as a therapist is to create a safe space for individuals to attend to pain and move towards healing. I approach therapy with a person-centered, trauma-informed perspective, striving to create an environment where vulnerability feels accessible and empowering. You are the expert of your experience and it is my hope that you feel this throughout our time together.

Sometimes taking care of ourselves is the hardest thing because our lives don't have therapy built in our day. We become masters at believing we are dealing with our struggles, depression, anxiety, yet we never seem to get to a point where we are actually making a change. We see what we are doing isn't working yet we continue to do the same. I work with adults facing a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, mania, adjustment related issues, relationship issues, divorce and grief/loss. I have over 20 years of experience helping individuals find healthy solutions.

Seeking out help can be scary or intimidating, but it can also be one of the most impactful decisions you get to make. I believe that you are the author of your story and I am one resource there to support you. During our sessions, I want to help you find solutions to your challenges or achieve the goals you have set. I hope to provide a calm and welcoming space for you to share, cry, laugh, etc as our sessions together are what you make of them. I work with adolescents to adults experiencing challenges with depression, anxiety, relationship conflict, identifying/accepting emotions, boundary setting, and/or self-confidence.

I strongly believe that empathy, trust, and respect are the foundation of a therapeutic relationship. If you are considering making changes, now is the time and I'm here to walk beside you through it. As a therapist, I hope to provide a space for you to share openly, discover new perspectives, and feel heard. You are not defined by what you are struggling with. I use a person-centered, strengths-based approach, in which therapy is a collaborative process. My goal is to help you align with your values and become the best version of yourself.
