Therapists in Charlotte, NC

I tend to work well with someone who yearns for understanding. Someone who may crave social interaction, but is not quite sure how to go about it. Someone who is developing their identity and consolidating their sense of self. Someone who wants more out of life but is not quite sure how to get it. Someone who feels lost and plagued with self-doubt. Someone who is not sure why they engage in the same self-defeating behaviors over and over and over. I am open to working with a wide diversity of clients who represent various sexualities, ethnicities, racial identities, genders, and ages.

"I'm okay. Everything's alright". You tell yourself this repetitively while withholding tears and smiling for everyone else. You secretly struggle to believe what God says about you. Some days you feel so alone. You battle to feel loved and good enough to be the person God created you to be. Anxiety, depression, fear, grief, loss, shame and trauma have become emotional strongholds. Life seems to keep coming and you feel depleted. You ultimately want to live in freedom in your mind, no longer enslaved by the pain of the past, comparison, and even fear that your future will be failure. You desire to sense hope and fulfillment again.

Are you feeling like you are always trying to fit into someone's else box, the version of your life that others have for you, hoping that by doing so you will finally gain acceptance and validation? You have recognized that this is a no-win situation which only produces vacillating feelings of anxiety and depression which rob you of the life you know could be yours. You are ready for change but don't know where to start. Your biggest fear that that this would be another in a series of "starts". However, your desire to live your best life is pushing you to take a chance on change, but who will walk with you?

Life can be challenging and hectic. The day-to-day activities that you engage in often creates a level of stress in which you may find yourself feeling overwhelmed, leading to burn out. The demands and obligations of work, school, and home can overshadow your needs to care for yourself and accomplish your goals. The emotional impact of not being where you want to be in life can determine how you perceive yourself, your outlook on life, and your relationships. You may even feel like that what you desire is unobtainable due to current circumstances and past experiences. You are not alone in how you feel. There is hope.

Life's demands, painful experiences of disappointment, shame, guilt, anger and sadness, feeling overlooked due to the pressure of pleasing others, and the constant push to put ourselves aside can make it difficult to see our value, obscuring the clarity we need to live purposefully. We become driven by obligations, fear, others opinions, expectations, rarely pausing to truly see ourselves or process our emotions from it all. This often leads to a sense of disconnection and a feeling of living without true direction.

Life is full of what ifs … what if I wasn’t abused in childhood, what if my relationship was healthier, what if my family dynamics were better. What if it didn’t feel like peace was just out of reach or like things will never be better than they are right now.
