Grief Therapists in Greenville, NC

Starting therapy comes with so many questions: Who should I see? Will this really be helpful? Will I feel understood? So much depends on the trust and comfort you feel with your therapist or coach. Whether you are looking to gain understanding into longstanding problems, develop specific skills, or explore relationship patterns, the heart of my work lies in creating a space that allows you to feel seen, felt, understood, and transformed.

I do not have an ideal client, except to say I enjoy working with people who are willing and ready to take steps towards feeling better and more emotionally healthy. Sometimes, these steps include some hard work, inc. retraining their thought processes. Many of my current clientele are women or men experiencing depression, grief issues or anxiety in adjusting to life transitions. These life transitions may include death of a loved one, chronic illness, adjusting to marriage/divorce, and parenthood, etc. I find that most people are resilient and possess inner strength they may not always recognize.

Sheconia has a experience for working and learning from children and families. She has a passion for working with couples and marriages to support with ensuring a strong foundation; having lived experience as a child of what a separation can do to a family unit. Sheconia is strength focused, solution progressive, and challenging cognitions on how things are perceived utilizing a holistic approach. She believes there will be growing pains through this process; yet we will do this as a team.

Life can be full of great experiences and feelings, but it can also be full of difficult emotions, hard relationships, and traumatic experiences, which can often negatively impact your self-esteem and your experience in life. My goal is to help people work through these experiences so they can find enjoyment in their life, grow in their relationships, and increase their self-esteem. The hard things in life don't have to hold you back.

As a therapist, I believe people have deep-rooted aspirations for well-being in many areas of their lives, including emotional, physical, social, and spiritual wellness. I strive to make a safe and trusting relationship with clients so that they can improve in each of these areas and feel more balanced and fulfilled. I collaboratively work with clients, valuing their unique strengths, interests, and aspirations. I enjoy working with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, grief , life transitions, career/vocational concerns, spirituality, weight management and body image concerns, and relationship issues.

Don’t know where to start regarding your mental health or substance use concerns? Do you need a safe space to be your true authentic self? Talking with a professional about your mental health can positively impact your mental wellness. Let’s take that leap of faith together. I have LCMHCA and LCASA Licensure. I have experience working in diverse and multicultural environments and providing a safe environment for my clients to express their emotions, thoughts, and feelings. This allows you to find new ways of thinking and behaving that support a healthier life.

First, congratulations on taking the first step toward healing. Recognizing a problem is the first step toward finding solutions. Depression, anxiety, insecurity, fear, doubt and other feelings can weigh you down. These feelings can stem from trauma such as any form of abuse, neglect, domestic violence, infertility, divorce, loss of loved ones, medical problems, and other forms of trauma. You want change and need someone to help. You need a partner that understands and will walk with you on the journey of growth and healing. You have made the first step and you are ready to take the next. How do you get your life back?

Do you need help navigating the issues of life? You don't have to tackle these issues alone. Allow me to help. I will walk alongside you and together we can figure it out. We all need help from time to time. This doesn’t make us weak, it makes us human. Sometimes a little help is needed to bring answers we already possess to the surface.

Working the last three years in Mental Health and addiction, I have learned to motivate people to develop a plan to change their life. My experience is working with adolescents, young and older adults who approach struggles differently. Each person culture has sculptured their beliefs and how they face new challenges. By collaborating with individuals, the focus is to help them gain personal growth. Sometimes it may be difficult to share your struggles with a stranger. It is good to have someone to listen and provide support to guide us through the process.

Clients always tell me, "asking for help was the hardest part, but I am so glad I took that first 'hard step'". . We all experience many difficult transitions in life and can find ourselves feeling anxious, overwhelmed, defeated or even hopeless. Some of these transitions result from traumatic events, employment burnout, relationships stressors, divorce, medical diagnosis, or even grief . I would love to provide you with a safe space to explore the effects of these transitions and to empower you to feel more in control of all aspects of your life. Let's take that first "hard step" together.

Whether you, or someone you know is currently struggling with something like depression, or simply want a different outlook on their life, it’s something we work through together, and by setting up a consultation, we can get started. Through various techniques and long-standing approaches with proven results, we’ll be able to figure out what behaviors and/or thoughts might be holding you back from living your best life, and finding meaning in everyday situations.

Everyone's story is unique and every person deserves an individualized approach to their problems. Initially we will complete an assessment. Then we become partners in your therapeutic journey. If you have been suffering alone or found past attempts unsatisfactory, please contact me. The therapeutic relationship we develop will be the cornerstone of your wellness journey. I will do everything I can to support you in feeling safe and respected to share. I strive to provide a setting that will allows you to do this. I am open to your input and welcome your feedback as we progress on the path of your renewed happiness.

I love working with my clients! Many come to me depressed, anxious, struggling personally and in their relationships. I try to provide them with hope, perspective, and together we come up with a new plan moving forward. Often, I find clients want to let go of old habits or ways of interacting with loved ones to find more healthy ways to live. We focus on setting healthy boundaries, advocating for oneself, setting goals that will lead to greater happiness, and finding hope in the future. With no exception, I find clients have that inner strength to change within them. Sometimes, they just need a little help along the way!

Congratulations on taking the step to consider therapy! My approach to the process is Person-Centered, eclectic, and always specific to the individual. Founded in scientifically proven theory, the needs of the whole-person are considered which include the biological, psychological, emotional, social and spiritual aspects within this journey. While my approach is at times psychoanalytic, I often use techniques from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness and Transactional Analysis. Operating from these perspectives allows me to offer a tailored experience.
