Kardia Counseling & Consulting began with the idea that the healing process is as much about what you feel and think as it is HOW you think about your feelings; the notion that healing, at its core is the repairing of our soul; to be done respectfully, compassionately and with conscious intention. The realignment of our innermost "being-ness" with that of our true nature could indeed recenter and heal us; that our deepest desires for internal peace, blissful coexistence with loved ones and even the contemplation of true happiness is within our reach.

Imagine having someone to meet you where you are in your life, as a professional therapist I want to be able to offer you that opportunity to be vulnerable and share your story. The therapy setting helps to give your story light while helping to find comfort in finding discovering solutions. Rest assured you are not alone and having the opportunity to connect with a professional that cares is important as it helps to really explore and address your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors which drive life's choices.

**PLEASE NOTE THAT I AM NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS.** I have the privilege to work beside children, adolescents and adults in difficult and often confusing times in their lives. My goal is to leave clients with strategies, communication skills, and ways of thinking that can be transferred from the therapy room to everyday life - to friendships, family dynamics, workplace, and those moments at 2 a.m. when it is difficult to fall back asleep. My approach to therapy is relational, creative and collaborative and I believe very strongly in forming a trusting relationship with my clients.

If you are like many of my clients, you’ve been through a lot; you've fought to get to this point in life, are driven, and consider yourself a hard-earned-version of personal success in continuous process. Having already done a lot of personal work on yourself, you’ve begun to realize there are some things that you thought you dealt with and put to bed, but for some reason they have started popping up again. You may have an established meditation or self care practice and are noticing some new emotional static. Your established skills don’t seem to be doing the trick and you need help navigating how to move forward.

There are many reasons and life situations that move us toward seeking out therapy but making that decision to take the first step toward healing, for most clients, can be uncertain and often anxiety provoking. It's important for the therapists at Healing Reflections to create a compassionate and collaborative space to begin building a therapeutic relationship based on feelings of safety and a sense of trust helping clients to heal wounds, discover their purpose and feel more alive.

We are committed and passionate about helping individuals and families overcome anxiety, panic, depression, and trauma. Life experiences such as grief, loss and trauma can all contribute to the overwhelming feeling and sense of disconnection from others, difficulty with emotional regulation, and relationship challenges. We believe in the importance of not only addressing immediate needs but identifying and working through the root causes of challenges to make lasting changes. We enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and families to process trauma, interpersonal conflict, relationship challenges, and grief/loss.

Do you want to make better decisions and find more joy in life? Are you sick of feeling anxious and overwhelmed? Do you wonder where your energy has gone? Is it difficult to make decisions or plan for future goals? Are your relationships suffering? I work with clients every day who answer yes to these questions. They are anxious and overwhelmed. They are living with grief and sadness. They struggle with relationships (parenting, marriage, partners, friendships, work). Some live with chronic pain; many are burned out.

Being human means that we sometimes find ourselves struggling with conflicting and difficult emotions. This is often our experience when faced with challenging issues such as depression, anxiety, loss, life transitions, or difficulty in relationships. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with adults and couples using a compassionate and non-judgmental approach. My style in working with clients is relational and developmental. My work is grounded in Attachment Theory which has taught us over several decades of research that as humans, both children and adults, we are wired for emotional connection with others.

Everyone who cares deserves to be happy. Life is also full of ups and downs. This is especially true when it comes to relationships. Sometimes, we push through the struggles and eventually feel some relief. But other times we can feel stuck, repeating patterns or habits that get us nowhere or keep us in a rut. Anger or distancing from one another often replaces the love and closeness we want and deserve in our relationships. If you want to be happy again, or just be a better you, I am here for you.

I am a Registered Play Therapist working with children who are hard to reach either because they are angry, anxious, or depressed. Children don't express themselves the same way that adults do, rather, they express themselves more naturally through play. Play is a child's natural way of relieving stress and play therapy is the best practice for working with children. Using Play Therapy most children are able to work through issues in a much shorter amount of time. For more information Call today (910) 407-0052 and check us out at www.AtlasChildCounseling.com

Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed with sadness or worry? Do you find yourself reliving past painful events? Are you struggling with life changes, grief, or relationship conflicts? Do you want to make changes, but just can’t seem to do it on your own? When faced with painful events in life, or struggle with difficult emotions, life can seem out of balance. You may become so overwhelmed that sometimes you may shut down or act out. These are all normal and common responses when under stress. Unfortunately, when you’re in a chronic state of stress, this may affect the way you relate to others and yourself.

Life can be challenging, with many twists and turns along the way. We may even find that events and circumstances in life are not what we expected or are out of our control. In those times, we seek to find strength and encouragement to endure and perhaps even rebuild. I believe that everyone has the potential to rise above their circumstances, no matter what they may encounter. We can turn disappointment, hurt, or pain into learning experiences that help us grow.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
