Therapists in South End, Charlotte, NC

Helping Men is the specialized focus of my practice. Anxiety, Relationships, Sexual Issues, Life Direction, Depression, Communication, Quarter-Life Crisis/Young Adults, Social Anxiety, Accountability, Assertiveness, Career, Masculinity/Men's Identity, Anger, Spirituality, Infidelity, and Porn/Sexual/Gaming Addictions are concerns I've helped many clients to navigate. I offer you clinical insight, practical strategies, and supportive presence, drawing primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Some issues look different in males and can go unrecognized. Sometimes men are just more comfortable talking with another guy.

Do you often struggle to stop negative thinking? Or to stop worrying about every possible bad outcome? Do you ever feel like a stranger in your own skin? Do you ever feel as though no one around you understands you or how you feel inside? You are not alone, and it is possible to feel differently. I offer individual and group therapy to anyone dealing with anxiety, co-dependency, self-esteem, identity, gender, sexuality, and trauma. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, and someone who has personally struggled with mental health in the past, I can empathize with those seeking relief and reassurance that change is possible.

On the outside, you are the picture of success. But inside, you are deeply anxious and insecure. Despite being successful, hardworking, and seemingly happy, life is really hard for you. You constantly overthink and replay past conversations and situations over and over again in your head. You find yourself saying "yes" to people, when you really want to say "no" and get frustrated and resentful. Your fear of failure drives you to throw yourself into work, but you're exhausted and unhappy with yourself. You have FOMO, but are sometimes so full of self doubt that you avoid social interactions. You just want to feel more confident.

When the intensity of painful feelings, the persistent chatter and/or stories in our minds become paralyzing; when worry or rumination interferes with sleep or functioning; when the depression and/or anxieties constrict life; when disempowerment and feeling overwhelmed drain energies and self-esteem; when feeling stuck, miserable and/or afraid is too familiar; when fears and uncertainties rob you of a vital life, it is important to know that you may expect from me radical acceptance, full attention, compassionate listening, active participation, extensive knowledge plus experience, to assist, support and facilitate the creative journey for renewed passion for life.

You’re feeling tired, anxious, and empty, hoping to find balance in your life. You want to change how you approach your daily stressors, but you don’t know how to even start. Finding your path through difficult challenges feels overwhelming most of the time. Regardless of the reason, you feel disconnected, lonely, and anxious. Are you hoping to find someone who will not only listen to you but also your story?

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.

Einstein defined insanity as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. If you are looking for things to change and are willing to work with me, things can get better. So many clients enter therapy with apprehension and a lack of hope for things to improve. I focus my practice on creating trust and getting my clients back on track as quickly and as comfortably as possible. Therapy begins with an end in mind and you and I would work together to make sure we are always making progress towards goals.

I am passionate about helping people gain clarity and emotional health. The counseling relationship is a powerful, collaborative experience. We will work together to process your emotions and life struggles to reach the growth and change you want in your life.  

I strive to make counseling a safe place in which we will work as a team to create the change that will help you through your struggles. I can help you process your emotions and experiences, and learn coping skills in order to generate healthy thought patterns and new habits that will be beneficial in your life. Counseling is your space, and I aim to make each session uniquely fitted to your needs.

Have you lost direction along your path or facing barriers to achieving happiness? Struggling to manage difficult feelings and sometimes just get through the day? I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, certified in Brainspotting, who specializes in working with individuals who are overwhelmed by anxiety and depression often due to daily stressors, complicated relationships, life changes, loss or trauma that has taken root deep within.

In therapy, the story belongs to the client. Therefore, I desire to help clients find wholeness, wellness, and psychological balance when sharing their story. For me, it is a joy to watch clients grow and flourish as they overcome the challenges life throws their way. That said, mental health is my passion. It is a profession that I not only love to play a role in but enjoy doing as well.

Eve is located in Dilworth and works with children, adolescents and young adults (5 to 30), who struggle with anxiety and depression related to life transitions or past residual trauma symptoms. Treatment is delivered through a biologically, developmentally and experientially respectful approach, taking into account each individual's neurodevelopment and diversity. Treatment is built upon client strengths, working to develop an individualized plan to meet your needs and address presenting concerns.

Life and love can be messy. Our 24/7 world can make otherwise successful people get out of balance in their lives and in their relationships. The good news is: quality, research-based counseling works for couples and individuals. Together, we can help you and/or your relationship feel better.

It's courageous to ask for help, to seek counseling. One of the most important responsibilities I have is to create a space for clients to work, explore, create, and move toward healing.
