Therapists in Plaza-Midwood, Charlotte, NC

As you take in these words, I want you to picture the kind of change that lies ahead—the kind that gently guides you away from those endless nights of tossing and turning, from the heaviness of your struggles. Recovery isn't just a distant goal; it's a step-by-step journey toward rediscovering peace and connection. Think of me as your companion on this path. (Spanish) Mientras lee, espero que visualice cómo se sentirá la recuperación después de incontables noches de insomnio y angustia. El proceso de sanación requiere acción y estoy aquí para ayudarte a descrubrir la paz y conexión que podrías tener contigo misma(o).

I believe therapy is a unique gift you can give yourself, yet finding a therapist that will make you feel like they 'get you', can be daunting and paralyzing. The first step of making a phone call and appointment might fill you with dread, fear, shame or hopelessness. For you to feel safe enough to share your struggles with me, I will have to earn your trust. As we begin our work, I will make every effort to meet you with genuine warmth, openness and patience.

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.

Dr. French sees adults and couples, diverse in ethnicity, religious identification, social class, gender, and sexuality. She collaborates with men and women interested in cultivating curiosity about their experience of themselves (mind and body) and desiring deeper felt connections with others. Periods of transition (beginnings and endings) are prime opportunities to invest in your mind health. Dr. French is inspired by recent findings in interpersonal neuroscience which offer considerable hope and advanced understanding of our biological capacity for healing and transformation. These findings influence the way she lives and practices her profession.

Managing relationships can be challenging, but it doesn't have to be that way. For more than 15 years, I've been helping people with their relationships, specifically those that may cause negative emotions such as anxiety and depression. I focus on helping those dealing with unhealthy or challenging relationships. Communication is critical, and I can help people improve it. I also assist professionals who struggle with finding harmony between work and personal life, busy moms who may feel overwhelmed, and anyone who needs to learn the importance of self-nurturing.

At Sanctuary Counseling Group, we believe in creating therapeutic relationships with our clients to promote the healing of heart, mind & soul. Life is not meant to be done in isolation.

I offer you a safe place of respite and recovery.

You come to therapy to face hard truths in your life and learn better ways to handle them. Maybe you find yourself repeating the same patterns, having the same interactions, or feeling a certain way about yourself. I balance truth and tact, giving genuine feedback. I have over 20 years of experience helping adults overcome depression, anxiety, and life stress. Sometimes you're depressed & sometimes your life is depressing-usually it's some of both. I address both, helping you change the way you think, act, & feel, while also looking at your whole life situation, environment, lifestyle, friends & stressors.

In our lives we juggle multiple relationships/ roles every day; our relationship to friends, family, our significant others, & co-workers/ teachers. Let's not forget the relationship to ourselves, one of the most important relationships we can have! Sometimes it is overwhelming trying to be the best that we can be. Sometimes we settle for just getting by. That is okay, to a point. However, when we do not feel like ourselves, or our relationships start changing, feeling stressed, or off track, to a point that it is influencing other parts of our lives that is where I can help.

I have been a practicing psychologist for twenty years. I describe my approach as Insight + Strategy: using insight into your concern to develop strategies to address it. I enjoy working flexibly and efficiently. My work is tailored to your unique personality. I am certified as a Master Practitioner of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and use the MBTI to develop an understanding your healthy personality, to identify your strengths, preferences, and potential areas for growth.

As a psychologist I offer a variety of clinical services, including individual, family and couples psychotherapy as well as cognitive and psychological testing for children and adults. My therapeutic approach is warm, relational, collaborative, and aimed at fostering resiliency, empathy, and self-awareness.

Every problem has solutions, therapy has you consider those solutions, which in turn transforms your life. I find that people labor too long over whether or not to start a cycle of therapy. I encourage you to explore your curiosity about the therapeutic process.

***********Now Accepting New Clients************** Feelings of sadness, hoplessness, constant worrying and guilt are commonly felt emotions that affect most if not all of us at some point.

My clients experiencing depression are given hope and tools. Couples in crisis or wanting a better relationship can thrive instead of just survive in the model I use. As a RN, I am specifically trained in how the body responds to stress, trauma, and change.
