Relationship Issues Therapists in Knightdale, NC

Entering a counseling relationship can stir up mixed emotions. It's natural to feel some apprehension about inviting someone into your private world. Whether you're in need of counseling for children, adolescents, or adults, I value you as a unique individual and am here to accompany you with sensitivity, confidentiality, and insight as you explore your concerns and take steps toward healing and growth. I feel this role to be a true privilege and I am grateful to walk with you as you journey toward change.

My ideal client is someone who has an idea of where they want to be but needs a little help to get there. I believe that the therapeutic journey is about understanding a person's life experience in order to help them reach their full potential. Developing a trusting relationship is a very important aspect in creating change. And whether these changes are small or large in scale, they can have a profound impact on someone's life. I like to be able to support and guide clients as they work on those changes.

I am pleased to announce the release of my new book, "Affirmative Parenting." It is available as an ebook and paperback version on Amazon. My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental, positive environment where thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can be explored and understood. I want to help people achieve problem resolution through personal and emotional growth. I have used this approach in a variety of mental health settings and, presently, in my private practice. Please visit my website for more details at www.drdalesheffield.com. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.

Good psychotherapy requires a "match" between client(s) and therapist and avoids "stretching the client to fit the couch." Finding the right psychotherapist involves both clinical skill and personality match. A good therapist is genuine, warm, and offers a human relationship with active listening, guidance, and good advice. As a Marriage & Family Therapist, what I offer as a clinician is an active style of psychotherapy with a high regard for where you are in your journey, what your goals are, and what things can be pointed out and changed along the path to growth and improved relationships.

As an experienced psychotherapist, I specialize in both brief and intensive therapies. I have expertise in working with individuals and couples with dysfunctional communication patterns. If you feel that you are caught in a loop of partners who do not meet your needs and deflate your feeling of self-worth. You may be an empath who finds yourself in a caretaking role for others. We will work together to understand the dance that keeps you in a one down relationship. I will help you do the hard work needed to make changes and feel a greater sense of well-being.

Taking the steps to find help can often feel overwhelming but you’re already demonstrating your strength. I would love to join you in your journey to healing and wellness. I specialize in working with adults who are facing challenges related to life transitions, family of origin experiences, interpersonal difficulties, chronic illness, anxiety and depression. I love working with the indigenous community and other marginalized people groups.

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.

Sometimes life gets hard and just sucks. Period. End of story! Sometimes this is a result of a negative self-image, life experiences, childhood wounds, a dysregulated nervous system, or downright stinking things. Acknowledging how our core wounds and beliefs can directly impact our behaviors and feelings is the recipe for self-awareness and a meaningful life. I am dedicated to supporting my clients as they try to build a life on an internal value system, reduce symptoms, develop self-awareness, and boost confidence. If you are struggling with your relationship, sadness, stress, or just life dissatisfaction I would love to help.

Are you a creative professional who is burnt out, anxious or depressed, feeling blocked or insecure, and not sure how to navigate a path forward? Is job or relationship stress, or the demands of our ever-changing world, affecting your motivation? When my clients first start therapy with me, they feel overwhelmed. They are talented, creative and perceptive, but they're running low on energy. Therapy helps them gain fresh perspectives and coping skills, achieve more balance and confidence, and move forward as their full, authentic selves. I have particular expertise treating OCD & phobias.

My mission as a therapist is to provide a long lasting, positive impact on individuals and families facing various adversities. My goal is to help establish and restore healthy relationships, thus enabling individuals to live their lives to the fullest. I have had the pleasure of helping individuals and families with various backgrounds cope with stress, anxiety, depression, family conflict, and trauma. I am committed to meeting people where they are, but excited about the path to a healthy wellbeing.

Children and families have been the focal point of my career for over 20 years. I have learned that youth and adults benefit from listening, understanding, and validation. Nowadays, the impact of unresolved mental health issues is a clear and present growing risk factor. Please do not hesitate to speak with someone about difficult matters. Having good mental health can reduce risk factors and should be a prioritized need alongside our physical health. For mental health crises, you can call Mobile Crisis at 877-626-1772; or National Suicide Prevention Hotline 800-273-8255 (dial 988). For life threatening emergencies, please call 911.

Regardless of age, race, gender, economic status, religious affiliation, etc., life presents challenges and we can find ourselves in low places we never anticipated. In those seasons, it is imperative to have a safe space where you can be heard, validated and supported. In therapy, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral, Psychodynamic and Solution-Focused approaches; however, I recognize and respect that all clients are different and may require a different approach, so I adjust as necessary. I look forward to helping you work through the situations in which you might find yourself and assist you in becoming your ideal self!

There are many reasons you might be searching for some extra support - anxiety, depression, life transitions, maintaining boundaries, past or present trauma, navigating relationships, self esteem stress, and more. While acknowledging this can be frightening and overwhelming, it can also be freeing at the same time. I understand this and work to build a relationship with each client that promotes trust, awareness, and understanding. If you're ready to get started, I'm here, and I'd love to help.
