Women's Issues Therapists in Downtown, Charlotte, NC

I have a passion for helping women navigate the complexities of low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and dependency traits. I firmly believe that within each of us lies an innate understanding of who we are, but life's challenges—be it societal pressures, trauma, or other influences—often obscure this truth. Together, we will embark on a journey to dismantle the limiting beliefs that hinder your progress, rediscover your authentic voice, establish healthy boundaries, and manifest the life you envision.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist and a Certified Clinical Supervisor. I have also completed three years of training in Somatic Experiencing (SE) which is a body-awareness approach to trauma. Dr. Peter Levine realized that human beings have an innate ability to overcome the effects of trauma. SE supports our bodies to access our body's innate wisdom and apply it to healing and resolving the effects of trauma. What I love most about my work is being allowed on the journey with individuals and families as they grow and heal emotionally and spiritually.

Hi! I’m a LCSW (licensed clinical social worker) based in North Carolina. I attended East Carolina University and graduated with a Bachelor of Social Work degree and then I attended Winthrop University and graduated with my Master of Social Work degree. I have 11 years of general social work experience and have been a LCSW since 2020. The majority of my LCSW experience is working with grief and loss, depression and anxiety.

I am a licensed psychologist in North Carolina and provide both psychotherapy and assessment services. I specialize in psychological assessments including diagnostic testing for emotional problems, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Learning Disability (LD), and gifted assessments. Psychological assessments can be especially helpful when evaluating children and teens, as unidentified mood issues frequently impact learning styles and academic difficulties.

I am passionate about supporting women and mothers along their life’s journey. Expectations do not always align with the reality of a woman’s experience leaving many with feelings of guilt, anger, sadness, and loneliness that may further alienate them from feeling safe to express themselves to others openly and honestly. I have had countless conversations with women in the hospital setting about how alone they felt at times during their motherhood journeys. Having a safe, warm, unconditionally accepting space where you can express yourself openly and honestly is the space that I strive to create for my clients.

As a parent, you find yourself constantly exhausted and overwhelmed. You feel like your child(ren) has been your only priority. You feel like everyone around you is an expert at parenthood. However, you now realize that you need to make time for yourself and your personal interests. This has left you feeling conflicted. You may feel guilty about this desire. But you no longer want to allow outside expectations of motherhood to hold you back and leave you feeling hopeless. You’re ready to live on your own terms. Together, let's make this possible!

Hi! I am a Clinical Social worker in the state of North Carolina.

Are you constantly pulled in different directions, struggling to find balance and self-compassion in your busy life? Do you need support navigating the stages of womanhood? I'm Danika, and I am a therapist who supports women's health in all stages. I use interventions informed by intersectional feminism, anti-racist frameworks, reproductive justice, and a trauma-informed lens. With over 15 years of experience in healthcare, including a focus on women's health and health tech, I bring a unique blend of expertise to help you navigate life's challenges and opportunities.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Associate. I obtained my undergraduate degree in public health from Clemson University (go Tigers!) and my MSW from the University of South Carolina (go Cocks!). I have worked in several eating disorder treatment settings across various levels of care. I appreciate bringing the values of curiosity, collaboration, and willingness into my therapeutic approach. I enjoy working with individuals to find peace with their food, their bodies, and themselves.

You deserve to live your life feeling centered, safe, and well. You don't have to meditate for hours every day, become a yogi master, or spend years in therapy to achieve this. My goal is to provide you with a safe space to explore your feelings, identify your strengths, become comfortable with yourself, and find peace.

Are you looking to work through challenges in your relationship? Would you like to enhance your relationship, prepare for marriage or prevent divorce? The cycle in marriage and relationships can cause us to lose hope and believe that being truly happy and fulfilled may not exist. This is not true. I am here to journey with you and your spouse/fiancé to understand where you are in the relationship cycle and what could potentially be preventing you from experiencing joy, peace, connection and unconditional love.

I've worked with individuals from many walks of life throughout my years of practice most of whom have experienced trauma and struggle with mood instability, anxiety, personality disorders, and/or attachment and relationship disruption. Most of my clients are some combination of neurodivergent, queer, trans, non-monogamous, and/or kinky. My practice is driven by a deeply held belief in the power of relationships to cultivate positive change and healing. This begins with the therapeutic relationship which I give ongoing attention and priority to as maintaining the therapeutic alliance is essential for successful treatment.

Are you mentally drained, overwhelmed and just feeling lost right now? You're behaving outside yourself, life feels like it’s passing you by and you don't know who you are anymore. Maybe you’re a new mom, recently divorced or just staring over completely. Well I want you to know you're not alone, and there is hope for the future. I have a strong passion in working with and empowering women of all ages to rediscover the best version of themselves through healing, peace and positivity.

I am currently accepting new clients via telehealth! I'm passionate about helping individuals live more fulfilling, happier lives every day through their own decisions, on their own terms. I believe that each client is on a unique journey with their own specific needs, and I tailor my approach to be as helpful as possible to each individual person. I work mostly with adults dealing with depression and anxiety, and have done so for 6+ years. For the past 3 years I have also enjoyed working with individuals struggling with fertility, postpartum/perinatal depression/anxiety, miscarriage, and infant loss.

For many of life’s issues, it is helpful to talk with someone within a nonjudgmental, safe environment. To be listened to and heard in a way that facilitates an understanding of what the underlying origin of the problem is in order to bring about healing. Kimberly uses the psychodynamic approach to counseling as a means to assist clients with understanding themselves more deeply. Serving adults, couples and adolescents, she collaborates with the client to address patterns and behaviors that disrupt wellbeing.

Hey there! How brave of you to take this step towards understanding yourself, your relationships, and your current circumstances better. Healing is hard, so I hope to make this part of finding a good fit just a little easier. I specialize in working with adults grappling with anxiety, depression, interpersonal and emotional challenges, trauma and stress, cultural identity and self-concept issues, life transitions, and imposter syndrome. I hope to provide support and guidance as you delve deeper into these areas, facilitating your journey toward overcoming obstacles and embracing a more fulfilling life.

I see anyone who is ready to change his or her life. My ideal clients are individuals who are unsure of their future, perceive themselves negatively, and lack the confidence in themselves and the decisions they make. They want change, but are unsure of how to implement change.

You did everything “right.” You got the job you worked hard for and found a partner that checks (some of) your boxes. You go to yoga, read all the self-help books, and even tried to have a 5a-9a before your 9a-5p. But you have nothing to show for it. You’re exhausted, burned out, anxious, depleted, and defeated. You’re at your breaking point. This isn’t what you expected life to feel like. It’s not you. It’s society. Women have been socially conditioned for - well, forever - to live up to ridiculous, contradictory expectations. These messages are implicit, but they teach us to be small, and prioritize others before ourselves.

Trauma and Abuse, Depression and Anxiety, Relationship Challenges and Boundaries...these issues are interconnected and impact our whole being. When we've been harmed by the people God designed to love us, this shame message is so pervasive, it's almost impossible to understand that this shame is lying to you about you. Difficult but not impossible. If you want to change, grow, and heal, I hope you will contact me.
