Non-Binary Therapists in Burnsville, NC

Every person deserves to be seen, heard, and respected. It is my honor to have the opportunity to provide that to my clients every day. I deeply believe we all have the power to unlock our answers to build a more happy, peaceful, and fulfilled life. I consider it a privilege to partner with clients along that journey. I work with children, teens and adults in a compassionate, safe and therapeutic space to discover their needs and goals. As a team, we will work together to achieve these goals in the most effective, efficient and clinically sound way. We got this together!

My passion in life is supporting you to become your most authentic, joyous self. I believe you already have a wellspring of wisdom and clarity within, and I take great pleasure in helping you clear the way to your own inner guidance. As a proud, openly transgender woman, I find fulfillment in working with individuals and couples on transition and identity issues, communication, codependency, relational/cultural/ancestral trauma, gender, sexuality, poly/non-monogamy, depression, addiction, anxiety, psychedelic integration, and spirituality. Perhaps the path isn't quite clear, yet you're ready to take a step towards something better.

I believe your identities and how you move through the world are important and deserve to take up space in the therapy room. The ways white supremacy and other oppressive parts of our world affect your journey are often parts that go unrecognized by others. I especially love working with folks who are LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and/or have an identity that is marginalized in some way by our normative culture.

Thank you for taking the first step in mental health self-care; so tell me, how are you? No really, how are you? If the answer is not great, maybe it’s time to open up an honest dialogue about starting therapy. I'm Scarlett; I am the owner and therapist at Grounded Guidance Counseling, PLLC, where I provide outpatient therapy services to individuals and couples. I strive to meet my clients exactly where they are emotionally in a professional but relatable manner, as I desire to break down barriers that could make therapy feel intimidating for anyone involved.

"Beginning therapy can be a very difficult decision for one to make. I am so excited that you have taken the first step in this rewarding journey!" My passion and goals are to assist others to experience healing and wholeness in life through management of the symptoms that cause dysfunction in everyday lives. Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. As an integrated therapist my goal is to help you figure out how to use your own resiliency."

I believe it is my job to collaborate with my clients to create a Narrative that feels authentic and attuned their passions, identities, and values. We often get lost in what we feel like we should or can't do, which confines us in little boxes that make it hard for us to feel vibrant and celebrate our uniqueness. I believe that when we explore and deconstruct the social constructions and dominant discourses in our social-cultural location and biases that don't align with our personal experiences or beliefs we have the autonomy and freedom to get in touch with our most core self and better understand how we interact with our world.

Are you wondering if you may be autistic or ADHD, or maybe you’ve just received a diagnosis. Perhaps you've known all your life and are now on a journey of healing and discovery, looking to become the most authentic version of self. Does it often feel like you're trying to be someone you’re not, just to appease those around you? When you are not living in alignment with who you are at your core, you can face so many more obstacles to contentment. You may be experiencing burnout, anxiety, depression, or simply a lack of joy. Reconnecting to your deepest and most authentic self can reconnect you to life and create a path to healing.

If you’re feeling stuck in any aspect of your life, whether it’s relationship patterns, professional struggles, or dealing with specific feelings or memories that feel overwhelming; I’m glad you’re looking for support. Life can be challenging for all of us, and it’s a good sign when you can recognize these struggles and reach out for help. I'm here to offer authentic connection and camaraderie so that we can explore where you want to experience change, and how I can hold space / offer feedback so you can find the best path forward.

I am casual and tattooed, and that tends to work for most people... even if it's vastly different from how people picture a typical 'therapist'. I feel very privileged to work with members of the LGBTQ+ community and believe I offer a unique perspective as a trans man (that also happens to be a therapist). I really enjoy providing support to folks while they explore components of their authentic identities. I am comfortable working with folks that identify with being poly and/or kinky (No shaming here!).

Are you struggling with women's issues, trauma, relationships, grief, anxiety, or major life changes? There comes a time when we need some help from a licensed professional to cope with many of life’s challenges, and I’d love to help you on your journey toward healing and self-discovery. My approach is to help you delve deeper into understanding some of the cyclical patterns created and to liberate yourself to optimum health mind, body, and spirit so that you can thrive instead of just survive. I honor the opportunity to explore with an individual their underlining traumas of lacking a spiritual connection to everything around us.

I’ve always found that authenticity is the only path to true connection. For those wanting support in transition(s), processing loss or trauma, living with chronic illness/disability, or simply unable to find your way forward; You deserve a counselor who will see you as a person first, not defined by your struggles but someone deserving of validation, support, and care. I pay close attention to the systems in which you are surrounded, the relationships that factor in your wellness, how the past informs the present, and the strengths you have within yourself to make a meaningful life.

Therapy is a place to dream, scream and put it all back together again. You will arrive, again, to a place where you know that you are worthy and you do not have to hide. There is a future where you are welcome without wearing a mask. There are people that will show up for you. The real you. You deserve to find them.

My practice as a clinician focuses on exploration of LGBTQ+ identities, eating disorders and disordered eating, and grief. I also have some experience in working with individuals managing addiction and individuals managing OCD or symptoms of OCD .

I love working with both adults and adolescents 13 years and up, especially folks who identify as BIPOC, queer, and trans, and individuals in non-traditional, non-monogamous relationship structures. I am LGBTQ+ affirming, gender celebratory, poly affirming, kink and BDSM affirming, and sex-work positive. My specialities are trauma work, depression, anxiety, and supporting folks who are moving through difficult transition, who are exploring their gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation, or who would like to get clarity on their life path.

Welcome! I'm so glad you made it here. Taking the first step in seeking out a therapist can be scary and overwhelming. As a non-binary, neurodivergent therapist, I provide an affirming space that allows my clients to accept all parts of themselves and celebrate their identities. I specialize in working with young adults, including college students and young professionals, who are queer-identified and/or neurodivergent.

Freedom, joy, connection, and peace are our natural state of being. They happen on their own when our bodies feel safe and supported enough to release painful past experiences that keep us stuck in distressing patterns. We feel unable to relax and are busy and burnt out. Being truly seen and loved and feeling belonging are deep desires for us, but seem unfulfillable. Instead, we resort to self improvement. Expressing our boundaries, feelings, and needs with others isn't easy. We often feel anxious, sad, shameful, numb, or alone. Triggers or physical symptoms intrude in our lives regularly. Our bodies don't feel at home.

Relationships can be painful and frustrating. Sometimes, it might feel like you’ve gotten on an emotional roller coaster you didn’t sign up for. You’re so tired of having the same fights over and over. Maybe you’re looking for a therapist to help you and your partner(s) learn how to communicate, regulate your emotions, and be vulnerable with each other. Maybe you're considering opening your relationship and you want support talking about boundaries and expectations. Or you need help repairing after you or one of your partners damaged the trust of your relationship. You don’t have to do this alone.

Is your child or teen acting out? Do you feel like an emotional mess? Are you coping with feelings of anxiety, depression, fatigue, or defeat that just won't seem to go away? Are your emotional issues so serious that you believe that you don’t know which direction to go? Are you grieving a loss? Are you feeling burned out at work, searching for clarity, or trying to find meaning in life? We will work together and empower you to help yourself! We have over 14 years of experience in individual counseling and consultation. We have a diverse group of professionals to assist you in seeking clarity and improving your peace.

I am a psychotherapist for adult individuals and couples. Do you want stronger, clearer and healthier relationships? My clients consist mainly of open minded, artistic and unconventional persons wanting more intimacy and connection or wanting to explore their innate gifts and talents. I also work with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and non-binary persons. However, I love working with anyone who is seeking growth, wholeness and perspective.
