Out of Network Therapists in Wilmington, NC

I help people find their courage to learn new behavior, build better relationships, embrace change, overcome negative effects of damaging life experiences, resolve grief, and transform losses into well-earned wisdom and productive action. Getting "unstuck" requires new perspectives, persistence while sorting through complexities and confusion, and practice with new skills and strategies. I strive to be kind, ethical, informative, interactive, responsive, and a rigorous "coach" who can be helpful to you.

Feeling overwhelmed? By life, work or just in general? Things seem to be impossible at times. I am here to help navigate through these times. We can work on coping skills to help deal with things as they come up. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who enjoys working with everyone: school aged children, college students, and adults. I have specialized training in Substance Use. I work with both children and adults experiencing issues related to depression and anxiety, mood disorders, as well as problems related to adjusting to life changes.

Dealing with anxiety can be difficult. Fortunately, research has shown many strategies that can help alleviate some of the worry and discomfort. When we combine these techniques with a practice of self-empowerment, the possibilities of healing increase tenfold. One of the best things that we can do for ourselves is to learn to recognize, embrace, and utilize our inner strengths. My counseling service is designed to help you find your inner champion while providing you with teachable tools that you need to overcome current and future obstacles.

My goal is to offer you a safe space, separate from the chaos of your life, where you can be your authentic self without fear of judgment. In our sessions together, I show up with the conviction that you have the strength to make meaningful changes in your life. I will work collaboratively with you to make sure you feel heard, seen, validated and safe. I welcome you exactly as you are, without judgment or criticism. You will feel supported and empowered to grow and heal as we reach and surpass your goals. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy; our work together will be tailored to fit your needs.

I believe everyone is unique, has an inner potential for healing and therapy is a cooperative process to reveal that potential. I use Redecision and Energy psychotherapy in a powerful treatment for changing and achieving an autonomous self. I am a Redecision Certified Therapist and a AIT Certified Practitioner. I am trilingual (English, Portuguese,Spanish) and have a special interest in cultures. In my work with multicultural families, I developed an extreme sense of respect, sensitiveness and appreciation for the distinctiveness of all my clients. I offer a nonjudgmental and safe environment in which we build our therapeutic relationship, an important element for healing.

Do your current struggles make you feel like you're treading water in the middle of the ocean? You may be feeling overwhelmed with worry, fear, sadness, anger, guilt, frustration, uncertainty, hopelessness, or helplessness. You may also be experiencing sleepless nights and disturbing negative thoughts that just won't seem to go away. You feel stuck - unable to move forward or swim back to shore. Whether these struggles stem from anxiety, stress, depression, PTSD, a significant life change, a serious tragedy, or a traumatic life event, I am here to help you find your way back. *Also available for evening & Saturday appointments*

Let me help you take the journey within. Although a generalist, I have extensive experience and training in the treatment of pornography, cybersex and related addictions and helping significant others. I enjoy working with clients who want to better understand themselves. I am a good listener with natural empathy, providing a safe and peaceful environment for your journey of self exploration.

I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and families to help them with emotional and behavioral disorders. I use games and toys to help clients feel more at ease during sessions. I also use the family systems model to assist families with problems and help teach them new skills to achieve positive and sustaining change.

Are you ready to take control of your life? I'm ready to help you do just that. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, addiction, an eating disorder, or a variety of other concerns, I'll help you find solutions and strategies to be the person you want to be. I work with teenagers and adults through individual or family therapy to set goals, build trust, and provide nudges toward progress and success. I understand that you want to be heard and understood during your time of struggle.

Endometriosis, infertility, and other reproductive and chronic health challenges, are not only physically taxing, but they also can impact an individual's emotional, vocational and social wellbeing. Those struggling need a place where they can share their stressors and anxiety, where they can grieve the losses they have experienced, and where they can gain more tools to manage what they are juggling and start to find a way to thrive.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, burdened by fears, and quite simply lost? I think we all have at one time or another. My life has brought me through a winding path and, along the way, I have met some amazing people... clients that are doing their best despite the burden they carry. Despite my two master's degrees and my 20+ years of counseling experience, I continue to get chills when clients have that "ah-ha" moment and start on a new path in their life.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS I am here to help you! My goal is to help you and your family be happier and healthier. I work with children ages 3 and up as well as adults! If you are dealing with depression, anxiety, Post Traumatic Stress, or just overwhelmed with life I am here to listen and help you learn to cope more effectively! When working with children I believe that they communicate through play. Children experience so many feelings and emotions that they cannot verbally express and play is a valuable tool! I can also be found on Talkspace if you prefer text and video messaging therapy! https://www.talkspace.com/room/kellycasparius

Change can be a difficult process. It may seem that some people around you know exactly who they are even when faced with major life changing experiences. But for most of us, we need time to adjust to major changes. Along the way to becoming who we truly want to be, we can be faced with ideas of who we think we should be and the influence of what others expect of us. I like to find the strengths in people and focus on their abilities. I get excited about the transformations that people go through as they grow. I want to help you become the best version of yourself throughout this transformation.
