Teletherapy for Matthews, NC

Accepting New Clients! As a parent or guardian, your desire is for your child to flourish, be successful, and to find happiness, especially when faced with challenging emotions, major life transitions, or school strugges. If you've observed heightened emotional distress, disruptive behaviors, school challenges, social challenges, or your child feeling isolated, you don't have to face these issues by yourself. I can help you and your child. Children (6 to 10), preteen, and teens are facing so many difficult stressful situations and sometimes feel they don't feel they have a trustworthy place to turn.

I work with individuals dealing with life transitions, medical related issues, mood and affective disorders, and marriage, parenting or family issues. I use a narrative and solution focused approach to collaboratively work with clients to identify successful solutions to problems and how these strengths can be implemented in future situations. I utilize empirically supported techniques that focus on the ways in which individuals think about and respond to events. These interventions allow clients to restructure their thinking, process events and modify behaviors in more adaptive ways.

Heather Fangman, MS Ed., LCMHC, is a licensed clinical mental health counselor. She graduated from Miami University with a BA in psychology and completed her masters degree in community counseling at Youngstown State University. Heather has experience providing individual, family and group counseling services to children, adolescents, and adults around issues including abuse and neglect, depression and anxiety, postpartum depression, high conflict divorce and reunification therapy, difficult relationships and parenting concerns.

I have worked in multiple settings serving families, from Social Services as a caseworker, to residential services, to individual therapy. In the individual therapy setting, I enjoy working with children and adolescents ages 4-16 incorporating play therapy and age-appropriate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My style of therapy is dynamic, hands-on, and person-centered. My goal is for children to actually look forward to coming to therapy and for parents to feel like they are an active part of their child’s growth outside of therapy. I am experienced in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma and parenting support.

Let's work together to get to the root cause of your distress and decrease problematic symptoms. I counsel adolescents (10yo+) through adults. My clinical counseling experience includes adjustment issues, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma-and-stressor related disorders (PTSD), loss/grief, narcissistic abuse, parenting, post-divorce, and relationships: pre-marriage/re-marriage/marriage check-ups using the SYMBIS assessment. I also have expertise in career exploration, goal setting, therapeutic art facilitation, and helping clients discover purpose to find meaning in life.

Seeking a counselor can be hard, even scary. I provide a welcoming place that is quiet, safe and relaxing. This is your time to decide what you most want, what changes you can make, and how to do it. At your initial visit you get to tell your story and discuss your goals. Within our first meeting we create a plan for how to make the changes you want. There's no rush and no pressure. I believe everyone has the power to get the life they want. It will take some work, and you now have a partner to guide you there.

I believe in helping people move from a place of being "stuck" to living life beyond limiting beliefs. I have the passion to serve as a motivating catalyst to help people reach their full potential. This work takes time, effort, and grace - I am willing to help walk through this journey to becoming your best self. Here, you will gain strength, and be empowered to keep moving ahead. You will learn how to maintain strong boundaries, manage anxiety, reduce stress, practice mindfulness, and become grounded.

My counseling experience includes working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I have provided counseling assistance for various issues including depression, anxiety, adoption, pregnancy, women's issues, parenting skills, pre-marital counseling, and issues related to domestic violence. I have expertise in Christian counseling and can incorporate faith to whatever degree you are comfortable.

I am a highly skilled and compassionate Trauma Therapist dedicated to providing exceptional care within a holistic framework. I have 30 years of professional counseling experience and have implemented effective treatment for adolescents and adults enduring a variety of mental health and/or substance use disorders. As a Counselor in the healing profession, my emphasis is on furthering your Wellness and Growth. At Eagle Eye Counseling the focus is on a Keeness for Excellence through Healing, Stability and Empowerment. I am also certified as a Master Addictions Counselor and provide Clinical Supervision for both Mental Health Counselors and Addiction Counselors who are seeking licensure.

The name of my business reflects my desire to help you find "Common Ground" within your relationships. Whether it is a marital issue you are struggling with or a parent/child/teen relational issue, I am here to help you through it. This is a goal of my counseling practice and finding common ground is one way I have helped couples and families for the last decade.

Starting therapy can be hard and you are brave to be here taking this first step. I’m passionate about helping clients and families accept themselves and each other. My goal is to create a safe space that allows you to meet yourself exactly where you are and shift the way that you or your child interacts with the world. I have experience supporting clients with anxiety, adoption/attachment needs, depression, grief/loss, mood disorders, parenting support, relationship issues, and trauma. As an EMDR trained therapist together we can process feelings, memories, and trauma that may be too difficult to manage alone.

Are you navigating neurodivergence, anxiety, or life transitions as a woman? I specialize in late-diagnosed ADHD and autism. Being late diagnosed neurodivergent myself, I deeply understand the complexities of juggling parenting, family, career, and social aspects of life. I'm here to help you work through these challenges, empowering you towards growth and healing. I also work with children ages 5-12 in the areas of ADHD, emotional regulation, anxiety, and going between split households. I am an adoption competent therapist and work with adoptees and adoptive parents.

My work is a calling and a purpose that focuses on helping individuals of all ages know that they are worthy of being loved and valued, live fulfilling lives, and heal from pain and hurt. Therapy is a place where your family can find support and encouragement to help your child or family develop optimally. Treatment is chosen based on your child's unique set of needs and is based on effective research based interventions.

Are you someone who is conscientious, careful, sensitive and want to succeed, but sometimes feel like getting through the day is too hard? Do fear, worry or sadness hold you back from the life you could live? We all encounter rough patches in life when we find ourselves stuck or feeling held back by an obstacle placed in our path. Therapy can empower us with the tools to overcome those obstacles so that we can move forward strengthened and better prepared for the future.

It’s okay to ask for what you need. This is something I need to remind myself of on a daily basis. So many of us focus intently on making sure everyone else is taken care of and we completely abandon ourselves and ignore our own needs. This leaves us feeling exhausted, depleted, and quite frankly, resentful because we think to ourselves “why isn’t anyone taking care of me?” I teach my clients what a healthy relationship looks like because if this wasn’t modeled to you at some point throughout your life, no one can expect you to know what it means.

You feel like you should be happy and fulfilled with the life you've built. You only wish you were as happy on the inside as you look on the outside. Many of my clients are seen as "having it together," however, inside they've grown numb, tired, restless, and empty. They feel stuck in behavior and thought patterns that they can't seem to change. Their relationships have become unsatisfying. The demands of life feel increasingly heavy. They long for something or someone to help them move in a new direction.

Throughout my career (so far) I have witnessed many individuals struggle and wrestle with their mental health and their faith. There is a stigma that rests within the church and mental health that is still present today so many Christians are faced with masking their mental health. I am here to say that this should not be. You can struggle with mental health concerns and remain a believer and child of God. I am here to meet you where you are at and work through your symptoms, one step at a time. I also have found that people forego their mental health due to financial strains. You don't have to do that with me. Give me a call.
