Therapists in West, Raleigh, NC

Accepting new clients! As a therapist, I strive to support young adults (18-35) who are working toward recovery from trauma. I work with clients who have experienced a variety of traumas including sexual assault, accidents, interpersonal violence, arrests/incarceration, abuse and neglect in childhood, etc. Common goals in my work are eliminating unhelpful thinking, eradicating feelings of guilt and shame, enhancing future safety, increasing self-esteem, and improving self-advocacy skills. Additionally, I encourage my clients to work with me to create goals specific to their needs and circumstances.

I strive to offer a therapeutic space for discovery, building hope, and transformation. The challenges that I commonly support people through include Depression, Anxiety or OCD/Phobias, Maternal Mental Health/Perinatal Trauma or Challenges, Life Transitions, Childhood Trauma or Trauma Processing, and ADHD/ASD. The goals with these presenting problems often include creating a sense of stability, finding effective coping strategies, building support systems, and developing a strengths-based or resilient narrative of their story.

Welcome! I am Beth Gaudette, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Raleigh, here to help support you during life's daily and complex challenges. I graduated from North Carolina State University with an MSW. My therapy experience focuses on many concerns, including anxiety, depression, family conflict, and parenting, working with a wide range of clients but specializing in working with adolescents through adulthood. Unfortunately, shame and guilt are too prominent in our world, and as a provider offering a space without judgment is essential for clients to reach their goals.

You’re often looked at as the strong friend but feels as if no one checks in on you. You’re worried that people would look at you as weak or a “burden”. Everything is becoming so bottled up that you aren’t even sure who you are anymore. Something needs to change, but you can’t seem to pinpoint where to start. The healing process can be frightening to begin, and I commend you for taking the first step on looking for a therapist to help you through it! Taking this journey can allow you to explore your authentic self, step into the person you want to be, and create more loving and safe spaces around you.

I strive to create an environment where you can explore, engage, and rewrite your life-script. We all live from our own unique scripts, the stories we tell ourselves everyday about who we are, where we come from, and what we're capable of. Sometimes these scripts trap us in behaviors and states of mind that harm us and keep us from living a rich life. In counseling, we engage these bad scripts, whether they are anxiety, depression, addiction, relational issues, shame, family issues, or others. My job is to give you the resources to rewrite these bad scripts and live from new, healthy ones. Change is possible. Help is available.

As a therapist, I believe in a genuine, nonjudgemental approach to the therapist-client relationship. I respect the courage, energy and time it takes you to make the effort to begin counseling. The fact that you’re visiting this site is the first step! So let’s collaborate in a way that is meaningful to you.
