Therapists in Charlotte, NC

Are you tired of putting others needs before yourself? Struggling to cope with the stress of everyday? Feeling like you are not good enough? Seeking help is a strength and you should be proud of yourself for making it to this point. I am a passionate and skilled counselor who is dedicated to helping individuals overcome their emotional difficulties and achieve personal growth.

I work with adults who are in highly stressful professions but who are also often in need of being seen and understood as persons with identities outside of their professional roles. Many of my clients have hidden depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and relationship stressors. I have over thirty five years of experience in helping individuals reach healthy solutions to their complex problems. I provide a safe place to explore the many facets of my clients' complex identities.

Many of us are navigating change beyond what we prepared for. When our relationships become a source of stress, rather than the calming connection we seek out, our nervous systems protest, using coping styles designed for combat, not for love. We can push our partner away at the very same moment we need them the most. Are you worn from repeating negative patterns, longing for a clearer map to communicating needs? Marriages are healthiest when couples become shelter for each other, removing blocks to a satisfying bond. Using 30 years experience, I provide couples with personalized tools for more effective, satisfyiing relationships.

Hello, I'm Jennifer Sterling, a licensed clinical mental health counselor and registered addictions specialist with a doctorate degree specializing in relationships. My passion lies in assisting individuals to overcome emotional obstacles, empowering them to lead fulfilling lives, and fostering healthier connections with others. I have found the clients who connect best with my style of therapy are individuals motivated to discover the root causes of their stress, anxiety, addictive behaviors, and relationship challenges.

My focus is to assist children, adolescents, families, and adults to build positive self image through enhancing self esteem, improving social skills, and reducing family and peer conflicts. I work closely with parents to strengthen their limit setting, clear expectations, and conflict resolution abilities through improved communication skills. Setting limits and boundaries in all relationships and dynamics is a tool that I often use in my therapeutic process. Giving children, parents, couples and individuals tools to maneuver through the daily issues are tools and techniques that I focus on in our sessions.

Confidentiality, compassion, creativity and expertise are elements I bring to every client session. Understanding that each person is unique, my 20+ years of experience and broad range of training in mental and emotional healthcare give me both versatility and adaptability; allowing me to meet you where you are in your life today. Through the building of a mutual trust, we'll explore the nature of the challenges you may be facing. We'll identify your strengths and your sensitivities, as well as the inner and outer resources you may not yet know how to access.

I provide a safe space to express yourself comfortably with compassionate support, as well as, person centered guidance to navigate life challenges. I aim to empower you with coping skills, resilience, and a deeper understanding of your true self, fostering lasting healing and growth.

I believe that individuals hold the key to solving life’s issues but sometimes need the assistance of others to help pull out those strengths and provide support along the way; I have a passion for supporting clients on this journey of self-awareness and growth.

Not only is this a strength but it also supports the movement towards breaking down the stigma that exists around seeing a counselor. As a therapeutic presence can be the most beneficial healing tool, I strive to be just that for clients

The world is in the midst of great changes and challenges. Our mental health must be prioritized, or we will needlessly suffer as we accept and adapt to what is happening in our lives.
