Therapists in Knightdale, NC

Accepting New Clients! Licensed in NC and VA! It does not matter what you may be facing, you should not do it alone! I strongly believe every person can grow and change. Therefore, as a therapist, I actively strive to see minds renewed and lives restored. I seek to empower, advocate and give every client the tools to create new life structures.

Do you feel trapped in your life experiences? Are you ready to take back the control you thought you’d loss and discover the vitality you never knew you could possess? It’s time to discover your inner strength so you can embrace living healthier each day and not be suffocated with thoughts of the past, present or future that overwhelm your very existence.

Tell me if this sounds familiar: You're stuck; you have been called "sensitive" more times than you can count; you find the presence of animals to be therapeutic (especially really really big dogs!); you know in your heart that you have a greater purpose in life but are having trouble putting your finger on it; you have a sense of humor; you best process difficult feelings and experiences through creativity; you feel the need to tell your story. If any of this has resonated with you, I have a feeling this is about to be the start of a beautiful therapeutic alliance.

While many people can transition gracefully, others may feel like their world has been turned upside down resulting in stages of emotional discomfort, mourning, or fear, leaving them feeling overwhelmed, anxious, & even depressed. I primarily work with those suffering from the difficulties of major life transitions. This can look very different for many! Whether you're a new parent, struggling to conceive, learning how to live on your own for the first time, grieving the loss of a loved one or relationship, or trying to find a new meaning to life as you enter retirement, I'm honored you've chosen me to help you on this journey.

I specialize in helping you navigate through life's challenges, learn how to be more aware of your thoughts, feelings, emotions, surroundings, situations, & to reduce automatic responses. My clients are often experiencing stressors related to burnout, life transitions, life stagnation, relationships, perfectionism, Imposter Syndrome, high achievement/striving, challenging family dynamics, & struggling with managing anxiety/depression symptoms, addictions, or just feeling "stuck". The goal is to find your peace, recognize that you are not separated by your mental, physical, & spiritual health but interdependently connected by them.

Hello and thank you for visiting my profile in your search for the right counselor. Finding a good fit is so important to your therapeutic journey. I enjoy working with adult clients from various backgrounds seeking help in navigating stressful situations and life changes, professional burnout or vicarious trauma, grief and loss, childhood trauma, attachment issues, anxiety and mood disorders and a variety of other stressors. I work with clients 21 years of age and older and enjoy holding space for professional clients and those in the helping fields.

I call myself the "Perfect Starter Therapist". If you've never been to therapy and are a bit nervous, I am the support you need. I am here to support my clients by setting appropriate boundaries, providing trauma informed care and learning the tools to advocate for yourself and continuous development of self awareness. Though I help in a variety of mental health and personal life challenges, I enjoy collaborating and challenging my clients to develop healthier life patterns and breaking the cycle of unhealthy patterns often developed throughout generations.

My counseling approach is largely based on Motivational Interviewing (MI), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). My areas of interest are primarily marriage and couple's relationship issues, family of origin wounds, inner child healing, and grieving and loss. I regard myself as a companion in the client's journey to emotional processing, healing, and renewed optimism. I am dedicated to supporting my clients as they try to reduce symptoms, develop self-awareness, and boost confidence as I believe each client is capable of navigating the difficulties and changes that life brings.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience. I believe that everyone has the ability to change and improve themselves and their circumstances given the right opportunity and the right support. My goal is to provide a safe and trusting environment for my clients to grow while at the same time improving their mental health and their relationships with the people around them.

Let’s be honest, the ebbs and flows of life can sometimes derail us and in other times, we find that we excel. The journey forward isn’t always clear and is often met with obstacles that feel insurmountable. As a therapist, it is a goal of mine to offer a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients learn to show up as they are, where they are, with what they have, in the current space of their journey. I strive towards working together in a collaborative effort to cultivate an environment where clients grow in their security to express themselves, BOTH authentically AND freely.

At times, life can feel overwhelming, and you might find yourself in a constant battle with your emotions. The struggle to determine whether you're in control or if your emotions are controlling you can be incredibly challenging. Feelings of uncertainty and the weight of "what if" questions can become a heavy burden, leading to emotions like hopelessness, anxiety, sadness, or irritability. It's not uncommon to feel lost in these moments. Perhaps you've noticed that unhealthy behaviors and old patterns have become all too familiar. Please know that you're not alone in these experiences.

Katelyn has experience working with anxiety, depression, and mood and psychotic disorders. She specializes in working with stress management techniques and processing adjustment to new medical diagnoses or life stressors. She utilizes a variety of evidence based approaches including CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Therapy.

I believe that therapy begins with an open and trusting environment where a client feels safe and respected. I find it important to always put the needs of the client first, supporting them and helping them discover the positive attributes they have inside. I believe in a welcoming and relaxed therapeutic approach to help support individuals on their life journey. By providing empathy and a judge free environment, I hope to diligently work with others and support them along their journey and help meet their goals.

Feeling exhausted with low motivation and trouble focusing? I’m here to help! One of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your story. Therapy does not have to be one sided nor an uncomfortable experience. Finding the right therapist for you is important and calling a psychologist can feel intimidating. I hope you take a chance to call and see how I can help you.

Let's be honest, sometimes you just want to talk. That's it, talk to get all of IT out, whatever your it is. The bottom line is you need someone to listen. So let's .... TALK.

I am a country girl with a big heart; two qualities that have served me well as a mental health/substance abuse (MH/SA) professional. I first went to college as a math major. After working with at-risk adolescents in group homes my purpose became clear to me; I am a social worker at heart. I earned my BSW from NCSU and my MSW from UNC-Chapel Hill. My passion is working with families using systems theory; MH/SA issues are likely not due to one specific individual or event. But I work with individuals and couples as well.

Life is challenging. Sometimes we need professional support to help us navigate our way back to full recovery. Let me help you. I enjoy working with individuals who are trying to make sense of their lives. Whether it involves issues concerning anxiety, depression, stress, anger, life transition(s), academic/work performance, or other personal challenges, I will provide you with a supportive and safe space to assist you in gaining insight into your life.
