Self Esteem Therapists in Charlotte, NC

"Our greatest victory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall" --Confucius. Perhaps you feel like you've fallen, and you're struggling to get back up and try again. I'm here to help you find the courage to get back on your feet. Whatever challenges you're experiencing today, you don't have to face them alone. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who is passionate about helping individuals reach total healing and wellness. My ultimate goal is to support and empower my clients and assist with learning the tools to make lasting changes.

Life can be tough to navigate at times especially during major life changes but you don’t have to go it alone. I’ve been a social worker for 25 years and have experience working with individuals with anxiety, depression, poor self esteem, grief and loss and people going through major life transitions.

I specialize in helping women who feel disconnected from themselves and their bodies find safe, healthy reconnection. My clients specifically experience this disconnection in the forms of eating issues, eating disorders, body image pain, low self-esteem and frequent (or even constant) mental obsession with how bad they think their bodies and selves are. They want something new and different, but often don't see 'new and different' as possible, sustainable or corrective to what they perceive are their flaws. Have you felt this way before? Do you feel this way now?

I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor associate (LCMHCA) who works with clients of all ages. My approach is tailored to each client’s needs, relying on therapy modalities that include play therapy (age 2-12), cognitive-behavioral therapy, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, and a person-centered approach. My specialities include working with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, peri/postnatal complications, stressful life transitions, parenting concerns, poor emotional regulation, behavioral issues, and family conflict.

I work with clients going through a wide range of emotional and relationship difficulties including addiction, grief, trauma, anxiety, relationship problems, marital difficulty, divorce, infidelity, life transitions, substance abuse, and the pain of growing up in a difficult parent/child relationship.

I enjoy working with individuals navigating a range of challenges including anxiety, eating disorders, trauma, low self-esteem and negative body image. With over seven years of experience working with survivors of trauma, I strive to provide a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to process the impact of their life experiences on who they are today. No matter what your struggle may be, you don't have to face it alone. I am here to provide support to empower you on your journey to healing and freedom.

As a therapist, my goal is to help individuals find more effective ways to make meaningful changes in their lives. I believe in a collaborative approach to work through your thoughts and feelings and their impacting your behavior, mood, self-esteem and interpersonal relationships. I strive to maintain a supportive and nonjudgemental environment as we navigate the issues that you bring to sessions.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and frustrated? Are you feeling "stuck" in a negative pattern in your relationship? Counseling can help in sorting out current struggles and developing and practicing new strategies to help cope with current emotions, relationships, and life situations. Counseling assists with healing and achieving goals you have for yourself and for your relationships. I have experience treating anxiety, depression, abuse/trauma, couple/family relationships, relationship struggles, work/life balance, separation/divorce, loss/grief, parenting, self-esteem, and self-injury.

I believe that emotional and personal growth is different for everyone. My services will be tailored to meet you where you are so we can work together to achieve the growth and change you want in your life.

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!

We are all capable of experiencing connection, joy, and a sense of wonder in our everyday lives. However, there are several barriers that prevent us from getting the most out of life such as depression, addiction, grief, loss, low self-esteem, feeling disconnected and unfulfilled. I work in a caring, supportive, and respectful way to confront self-sabotaging behaviors. Together, we will explore present day conflicts, especially relationship and attachment issues, which have prevented you from achieving your goals in life. I am committed to helping you discover new possibilities that will support an abundant and purposeful life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist in NC with an additional specialization in the clinical treatment of trauma. I graduated from Liberty University with a Master’s degree in Applied and Developmental Psychology. I implement a strength-based and person-centered approach and firmly believe that every individual has the capacity for growth and change. I'm passionate about helping clients identify strengths, establish healthy coping strategies, increase self-awareness, and ultimately work toward long-term healing and recovery.

Life can be challenging at times, but I believe with the right tools and a helpful listener we can make it a little easier. I’m passionate about helping clients build resilience and quiet those negative thoughts that make them doubt their potential. I enjoy motivating my clients to be the best version of themselves through positive psychology and cognitive-behavioral therapy. Once a client can rationalize through their negative thoughts, they can then change their behavior.

I am passionate about the overall health and well-being of humans and believe in taking a holistic approach to healing. Everything I do with you is personalized to your needs

My approach to counseling is simple: You can change. You can change your mind, your heart and the direction of your life. As a fervent life-long seeker of meaning and understanding of the human experience, I commit a fearless attitude and tireless ethic to charting your path toward greater happiness, purpose and peace. My clients include adolescents and adults navigating mood disorders, low self-esteem, stress, challenging life changes, faith transitions and religious trauma. I have extensive experience with Borderline Personality Disorder and offer treatment and hope through a combination of modalities including DBT skills.

Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck? Do you strive for breakthrough but somehow seem to always fall short? Do you want to finally achieve progress and reach your goals? I can help by utilizing psychological tools to push past these barriers and into a more fulfilled life. As a Christian therapist we can utilize both psychological tools and Christian principles to achieve breakthrough. Too often Christians practice solely from a spiritual perspective and neglect the psychological or worse, deny it exists. I believe both spiritual and psychological can work together.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS), and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT). My interest in therapy is deeply rooted in the significant role that relationships and friendships have played in my life thus far. I specialize in treating individuals and couples struggling with substance abuse as well as process addictions. I also treat couples and individuals looking to heal from infidelity and betrayal, difficult life transitions such as grief/loss, as well as self-esteem concerns.

I have a passion for seeing people become all they can be and partnering with them in finding their passion and purpose for life. Whatever life’s adversities you may face, I look forward to supporting you in your journey to becoming your best self. I have worked within the child welfare systems with children and families who have experienced traumas such as physical, sexual, and emotional maltreatment. I also have experience in working with people who are experiencing suicidality and self-harming behaviors. I am here to help clients set goals to overcome obstacles in life and set healthy boundaries.
