Therapists in Forsyth County, NC

Hi Guys, My name is Kristall and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have been practicing for a little over 2 years with much success in my journey and thoroughly enjoy working with people from different cultures, backgrounds and ethnicities. In my years of practicing, I've learned that talking to strangers about life issues is never easy, so I try to make the transition as easy as possible for everyone I come in contact with. I'm energetic, down to earth and realistic about life in general. Come see me soon! I'll be waiting on you!

In my work as a therapist, I strive to promote positive change. I have been in practice since 2013 and have worked in various mental health settings, including psychiatric hospitals, day treatment centers for troubled youth, intensive in-home therapy, contract work through public schools, and community-based outpatient treatment. I have experience in working with clients who struggle in the following areas: anxiety, anger management, depression, low self-esteem, ADHD, self-harm, major life events, and excessive worrying.

Maybe you have waited a long time to seek help and suffered in silence. Perhaps you've become accustomed to this discomfort or a pain. Or maybe you desire change through seeking understanding and want a greater sense of wellbeing. Therapy may help you with this process of personal growth and healing. Whether you have a crisis, traumatic experience, significant life challenge or are wanting to experience greater fulfillment therapy may be for you.

I have been in the mental health and substance abuse field for over 20 years. I have worked with clients with a variety of needs ranging from depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and substance abuse issues. I work with children, adolescent and adult populations. I am a DWI provider and substance abuse professional as well.

Life can be viewed as a series of successes and disappointments. We often have people who support us in the highs but may not know how to help us through the lows. I would be honored to be that person for you! While we cannot be perfect, we can be healthy in mind, body, and spirit! I believe that God can use every event, mistake, achievement, frustration, setback and triumph to help us prosper and be well.

My areas of specialty are adolescent therapy, grief and loss, anxiety disorders, depression, self-harming behaviors and challenges related to Autism Spectrum Disorder. As a graduate of the Wake Forest mental health counseling program, I am committed to helping children, adolescents, and adults find healing and resolution through a therapeutic journey. I utilize several therapeutic techniques and approaches including person centered therapy, sand play, expressive arts therapy, dream work, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Dr. Sam Gray is a licensed psychologist with a broad array of experience from working in a state mental hospital to community mental health and forensic practice.

He opened Carolina Psychology Group, PLLC in 2008 in Winston-Salem, where Dr. Gray grew up and now lives with his wife and two children.

I believe that healing that takes place with another person present is sacred. I enjoy working with clients at any stage of the healing process, from just starting their journey to feeling confident in their abilities. We will create a safe, supportive environment for you to explore yourself and become the best possible you through listening, education, and creative counseling techniques that are NOT Freud's psychotherapy. I love it when clients bring in questions, ask for homework, and commit to the process of counseling. At the same time, I have worked successfully with numerous clients who weren't so sure about going on their journey yet. If motivation is lacking, I like to provide a sounding board for clients who want to be inspired and empowered to decide what's right for them. I regularly ask my clients to get their hands dirty so that in the future, you will have the tools and coping skills you need to embrace your life. Much of counseling is a "choose your own ending" adventure novel, and when you are up for those twists, I'll be right beside you so you do not have to walk through the dark alone.

Life can throw us some major challenges and often people can end up in survival mode, panic mode, or just struggling to get out of bed in the morning. Counseling provides resources and support for moving out of these modes into well-being, health, and joy. Each person comes to counseling with their own strengths and challenges. My job as a therapist is to support each person as they move towards their goals such as decreasing anxiety and depression, healing from old wounds or trauma, learning skills to manage emotions or experiences, exploring themes such as identity and self-esteem, working through relationship conflicts, and more.

Anxiety and OCD are my areas of expertise. While at one point your energy, thoughtfulness and persistence served you and helped you to accomplish things, perhaps you've noticed these patterns and behaviors take on a life of their own. Now you might be more fearful, doubtful, and engaging in avoidance. What used to bring you joy is now being perceived as a chore or a threat. You want peace of mind and freedom to enjoy what's right in front of you without being consumed by all the what ifs and other worst case scenarios. You recognize that the anxiety that used to serve you is now being used against you and you're tired of it.

Our licensed therapists have extensive training and experience in issues affecting adults, couples, children, adolescents and their families. We specialize in treating a range of conditions including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, attachment, addiction, grief, women/men's issues, ADHD, oppositional/defiance, trauma, post traumatic stress disorder, OCD, and much more. We also offer extensive effective parenting training if your child is oppositional, defiant, and sometimes even aggressive.

Do you ever find yourself stuck in the same place without direction or pulled in so many different directions that you have become overwhelmed? I fully believe in the counseling process and have personally seen the benefits. Whether you are looking for short-term or long-term therapy, I can guide you toward finding and understanding yourself. Seeking therapy can create anxiety. I provide a non-judgmental, empathetic approach as everyone deserves to be heard and understood. Counseling provides a way to discuss your thoughts and feelings in a safe environment. I provide this environment to every individual.
