Suicidal Ideation Therapists in Hendersonville, NC

When we are not feeling at our best due to stress, anxiety, depression, family conflict, addiction etc., it effects every other aspect of our lives. It takes strength and courage to recognize that something needs to change. I like to work with my clients in a collaborative and supportive style that provides a blend of coaching, interactive interventions and by instilling hope about their future. Where you are today does not mean that you have to be there tomorrow

I believe in the power of connection. To self, to others, to the world around us. The stories we tell ourselves and the experiences we have do a great job of interfering with those connections. I work to support people by defining the values, relationships, and expectations that drive us. I enjoy working with young adults, adolescents and their families to explore the beliefs, fears, and anxieties that derail us from making those connections that give our lives purpose. I also love getting outside while we do it. Virtual sessions in the back yard or a walk and talk at the park? Frisbee gulf? Putt Putt? Paddleboard?

Lemon (therapy assistant pictured in photo) and I are accepting new clients in 2024! I’m not your typical talk-therapist. I am dynamic in the sense that I’ve been trained in many different evidenced-based models, theories, and techniques, but the therapy that I provide derives from what is needed most by the client sitting in front of me. I’m fun, energetic and real. I don’t mind being direct when necessary, and I think it’s okay to sometimes disclose information about myself;after all, the passion and interest that I have for helping others is directly related to my lived experience of trying to ground myself in an unsettled world.

At some point during the complex journey of life we all experience stuck points, emotional suffering, and sometimes an emotional crisis. It my deeply held belief, however, that we all have the innate ability to recover, heal and thrive. Providing an environment that facilitates healing and resilience is tremendously life-affirming work. I trust that each one of us has tremendous wisdom and strength. In partnership, we identify growth areas, goals, and strategies. Although it is essential that therapy is nurturing and nourishing, it is also hard work. I admire anyone who has the courage to push themselves out of their comfort zones.

Navigating the complexities of life can be a daunting task, especially when accompanied by intrusive thoughts and feelings of inadequacy. It's all too easy to feel like nobody truly comprehends what you're going through.

Together, we can embark on a journey of self-discovery, fostering self-awareness, and harnessing your inner resilience. Let's collaborate to cultivate healthier relationships, navigate life's transitions, and uncover the authentic self within you or your child.

My clients can expect to feel guided and supported in the processes of change, healing, understanding, and empowerment.

People often think psychotherapy is only for crises. However research shows that therapy is one of the best investments you can make for life satisfaction and growth. In addition to therapy are other modalities that support healing and growth. Some of these holistic wellness tools include exercise, mindfulness, tai chi and yoga. I have a rich background in the application of mindfulness to promote healing and growth, and have experience integrating tools such as Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, DBT, CBT, Hypnosis and EMDR. I also find authenticity and humor essential for healing and use both liberally.

Do you need someone to bear witness to your daily struggles, and pain? Do you need someone to listen to your story about the difficulties you are having in life that leave you feeling stuck and unable to move forward? Do you feel shut down, worried, anxious, tired, sad, or angry? Are you struggling with school, work, or financial issues? Are you struggling to make it through the day because you are having problems adjusting to changes in your life? Do you feel unappreciated or misunderstood by friends, family or your partner? Are you feeling unsteady or afraid because you've been abused.

In my experience, I find that I am a good fit for clients who are interested in exploring their own internal processes, are at least mildly self-driven, and are into exploring existential truths.

Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react to it... We will work together in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment to increase understanding of which life choices have been healthy and adaptive, and which ones can be learned from and improved. There are no mistakes, as long as one learns from them.

Counseling offers a unique opportunity to look inside ourselves and to look around us. Through counseling we can further consider what it would mean to have greater personal understanding, to heal from past or current wounds, and/or to transform into the person we feel we have yet to become. The counseling relationship offers a space of non-judgment where we get to explore any part of what it means to be a human living in this complex, painful, and beautiful world.

Life is full, complicated, amazing and sometimes we get a curve ball thrown our way. Though each of us possess the tools and wisdom of healing, it is during those curve balls that we need someone to point out our strength and resilience. As a counselor, I am that someone with a bag of tools to help. You decide where we go, what you want out of counseling, and choose what tools you will use. Those times may come from parenting, substance use, hurting those we love, burn out, anxiety, transition, the world around us, not being able to be who we fully are, and questioning life.
