Therapists Beginning With C in North Carolina

I get it superwoman; you wear all the hats. Mom hat, wife hat, friend hat, employee hat. All the hats! But that gets exhausting. Constantly having to make sure everything is running smoothly and everyone is happy and ok takes its toll. You find yourself constantly worrying…bills, kids, spouse, friends, career, on and on and on. What's worse is that in all the worrying and juggling you’ve lost yourself. This part right here is a nagging thought that stresses you out even more. You don’t even recognize who you are anymore or how you’ve gotten to this place. It’s beyond frustrating. I get it.

Welcome and thank you for checking in! My approach to therapy comes from a humanistic-experiential and systemic perspective, which allows me to view you and your presenting concerns within the context of your world, your relationships, how you identify, and all the layers of experience you bring with you into therapy. Empowering people to be more attuned with their emotions in order to develop supportive skills towards self-acceptance and “wholeness” to overcome challenges is a major part of my therapeutic practice. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families. Appointments are held Monday-Thursday 9am-4pm.

Has a doctor ever told you that if you lost weight, all your problems would be solved? Has a doctor ever explained "all the benefits of weight loss" and then offered no guidance other than “eat less and move more”? Did you leave the appointment feeling defeated and like you took up too much space? Did you try all the diets, only to end up gaining more weight? If you answered “yes” to any of the above questions, then you and I may be a good therapeutic match. I am HAES and Intuitive Eating aligned and am currently accepting new clients.

** Currently have limited openings on Wednesday and Thursday.** A mental health diagnosis does not define who you are or have the final say in the quality of your life. I believe that education is power and the more a person understands their condition the better they can manage life and relationships. I also believe that being allowed to share your journey is an honor. Therapy can be freeing as it inspires personal growth and hopeful outcomes.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate in the state of NC, and received my Masters of Social Work at UNC Chapel Hill. I have experience working at inpatient behavioral health settings, hospital systems, multidisciplinary collaborative primary-care clinics, and in private practice. I am trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR(trauma),and utilize other therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), motivational Interviewing, talk-therapy, and solution-focused. I am proud to serve clients with a wide rage of ages (early adolescence through older adulthood), and from a wide range of backgrounds.

I help individuals with sexual concerns and feelings of inadequacy find empowerment and create embodied, fulfilling intimacy. As a certified coach and family doctor with 10 years of experience, I offer a holistic approach that includes sex education, coaching, and medical consultations if needed. Many people struggling with sexual function feel alone and misunderstood, but I can help you get unstuck and deepen your intimate connections. I love using creative inquiry to open up insights and strengths that you didn't know you had, and I have a positive approach to problem-solving that builds your confidence and sense of self-efficacy.

Life is as mysterious and wonderful as it is dark and messy. I want to help clients navigate the dark and messy times to find their path to peace. My ideal client is someone who is dealing with some type of unresolved conflict or someone who is looking for ways to make positive life changes. This could include someone with relationship issues, mood stability issues or someone who struggles with negative and irrational thought patterns. We can work as a team to find the tools you need to navigate the messy parts of life.

I specialize in helping adults negotiate turning points and transitions. These turning points are the critical experiences making our lives' narratives uniquely ours. Transitions may come in the form of divorce, grief, job loss, health concerns, or parenting status changes. Alternatively, transitions may be signals it is time for a change. My work focuses on making meaning of these transitions and the stressors that often accompany them. Some of my specific areas of practice include work and career issues, relationship concerns, and stress and stress management.

Are you having difficulty with your relationships? When you understand how important you are and how valuable your life is, I believe you will make better choices when it comes to the people you allow into your life. My hope is that you recognize the unique things you offer the world and be vulnerable enough to share them. Connection to people is something we all need and it is often determined through the love we hold for ourselves.

I have a passion for learning about and helping others, which was my purpose in pursing the mental health field. Since entering the field, I have worked with individuals of all ages dealing with significant mental and behavioral health concerns. I have focused on educating myself to be a trauma-informed clinical and to focus my areas of expertise for adolescents and adults dealing with issues including depression, anxiety, self-esteem, self-injurious behaviors and interpersonal difficulties. I offer teletherapy services for Florida clients due to being stationed in North Carolina as an Army spouse presently.

Going through a divorce later in life can be one of the most emotionally challenging experiences of your life. Regardless of how you found yourself in the divorce process, ending a long-term marriage can leave a person feeling confused, betrayed, angry, lost, and incredibly sad. You need a safe, judgment-free space to be heard, validated, and guided through this overwhelming period of your life so you can come out the other side with a clear, positive vision of your future. Let me help you!

No matter the circumstance, I believe everyone deserves a space to process, heal, and grow. My therapeutic approach is rooted in collaboration, resiliency, and compassion. I believe healing is a nonlinear process and unique to each individual. I am passionate about facilitating a safe environment in which individuals can explore their own path of self-discovery. I use experiential, expressive arts, body-based, cognitive, and behavioral approaches in my work with clients. I work with teens and adults who have experienced trauma, loss, and eating disorders.

I am passionate about working with individuals and families. I believe the client/ therapist relationship is a critical component of the therapeutic process and place emphasis on maintaining a nonjudgmental, caring, and safe environment for my clients. My compassion and use of evidence-based research models provide a space for me to empower and support clients. I believe that the therapy process is collaborative, both therapist and client work together to develop strategies and tools to help clients transition through stressful times. Using both long and short-term therapy approaches, I create an individual approach for clients.

Hello there! I am so very proud of you for taking a step towards gaining new coping skills, improving self-awareness and having improved mental health. Most therapist would like to have a motivated client who picks up on therapeutic concepts easily, but that's not how this thing works! I meet you where you currently are and I am prepared to walk beside you on this therapeutic journey.

Life is not always easy to manage. At times we sail through rough waters with ease. Other times we get "stuck". We have trouble navigating our way through the fog. We feel something is "wrong". We might be telling other people that we are fine but inside we know we are not. We put on a false face just to get by. We need help but it isn't always easy to reach out. I am here to help. Whatever it is that you face, we can face it together in a collaborative manner. I offer a healing presence, openminded-ness and a non-judgmental safe space for you to find answers-strengths, self acceptance, vitality and peace. I welcome you!

Hello! It can be really hard to be human- especially in our current world. I commend you for seeking support and I'm glad that you are here. Together, we can explore what has been showing up for you and find a path to greater awareness, meaning, and empowerment. It is my desire to create a safe environment for any and all identities, where you can share your story and experiences, process life transitions, and find support. My approach is compassionate and collaborative. I believe in the power of authentic human connection and a non-judgmental space to allow for you to access growth.
