Transgender Therapists in Charlotte, NC

My top priority is to provide a safe, supportive environment for anyone struggling with their identity, experiences, or beliefs in addition to other mental health concerns. I work with a variety of issues with a focus on PTSD, depression, anxiety, dissociation, trauma, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, relationship difficulties, spirituality and/or religious trauma in addition to other concerns. I am especially passionate about work with anyone seeking a supportive space to heal, discover who they are, or navigate existential concerns, welcoming those of all beliefs in finding connection, hope, and peace.

My passion in life is supporting you to become your most authentic, joyous self. I believe you already have a wellspring of wisdom and clarity within, and I take great pleasure in helping you clear the way to your own inner guidance. As a proud, openly transgender woman, I find fulfillment in working with individuals and couples on transition and identity issues, communication, codependency, relational/cultural/ancestral trauma, gender, sexuality, poly/non-monogamy, depression, addiction, anxiety, psychedelic integration, and spirituality. Perhaps the path isn't quite clear, yet you're ready to take a step towards something better.

"Beginning therapy can be a very difficult decision for one to make. I am so excited that you have taken the first step in this rewarding journey!" My passion and goals are to assist others to experience healing and wholeness in life through management of the symptoms that cause dysfunction in everyday lives. Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As an integrated therapist my goal is to help you figure out how to use your own resiliency."

I work with adolescents ages 13 and up, young adults, and adults on a variety of topics. Many of the clients I work with are queer, questioning, or transgender . I specialize in working with these clients through the process of coming out and/or transition, managing marginalization stress, living authentically, and navigating relationships. Additionally, I specialize in treatment of persistent depression, anxiety, ADHD (especially regarding diagnosis in marginalized individuals), and relationship concerns. I approach every topic with a trauma-informed lens and believes that our early experiences shape the way we interact with others.

Thank you for taking the first step in mental health self-care; so tell me, how are you? No really, how are you? If the answer is not great, maybe it’s time to open up an honest dialogue about starting therapy. I'm Scarlett; I am the owner and therapist at Grounded Guidance Counseling, PLLC, where I provide outpatient therapy services to individuals and couples. I strive to meet my clients exactly where they are emotionally in a professional but relatable manner, as I desire to break down barriers that could make therapy feel intimidating for anyone involved.

If you answered yes to any of those you questions you are not alone, & you don't have to go through these feelings by yourself any longer. I want to you get the life you desire, the life you deserve. Let me help you get your life back on track TODAY! Please email me to get started on your journey of change.

My work aims to be anti-racist and centers on the lived experiences of folks who are Queer, Transgender , Polyamourous, or Kinky. I am here for the weirdos, the aliens, and the glamour toads. The ones feeling disillusioned and angry by the state of our country. The ones who are inspired to resist and reclaim their lives, even when feeling hopeless and exhausted. Our time together can be a space for you to find rest, to honor where you are in the present, and to be accepted as you are.

Adolescence can be a rocky time for many people, but I believe therapy can be of great help. I work with teenagers and young adults, struggling primarily with mood, identity, and impulse control difficulties. My goals are to help young people build their strengths and relationships in order to find happiness and success as emerging adults. Some of the things I treat are: depression, self-harm, anxiety, family conflict, gender dysphoria , transition to young adulthood stress, and disordered eating habits. Generally I practice cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectal-behavior therapy (DBT) within a caring, humanistic approach.

You don't have to feel alone. Seeking counseling can feel intimidating. I specialize in working with members of the autism and LGBTQ+ communities (I am autistic and queer myself). If you are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender , gender nonconforming, or identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community, it's important that you find someone with lived experience. I delight in partnering with clients who are exploring their identity and working through the human process of self-acceptance and self-love.

The co-creative process of finding solutions to intimacy problems requires a focused exploration of dynamics inherent in all human interactions, revealing the tension between giving and receiving that can be transformed from a barrier into a bridge. Particularly challenging to some relationships is the process of healing from trauma, chronic illness and aging that impedes intimacy, and my insightful approach at Carolina Sexual Wellness Center is effective when sex play has become more like work. We can renegotiate needs and boundaries, for partners who are willing and able to rebuild a stronger connection after infidelity.

Are you struggling with being present? Does living a meaningful life sound like fantasy? Perhaps you’re struggling with your identity or not being seen for the person you are. Are you feeling a crippling weight of expectations for who you “should” be or what you “should” do? Do you find yourself constantly overwhelmed, difficulty focusing, or over thinking? Do days and months pass with nothing to show for them, nothing changing? As life happens around you, do you find yourself falling into unhelpful or even painful patterns to cope? Do you want things to change for the better, to feel hopeful again, but don’t know where to begin?
