Teletherapy for West Virginia

Are you tired of being the strong one ALL the time? Does your inner child need to be seen and understood? Therapy can help you learn to love yourself, feel safe in your body and let go of the past. We will tackle the root causes of your present day struggles to heal not only in the short term but also the long term.

I strongly believe that everyone is unique and everyone’s story is unique; therefore, different approaches are essential in working with a wide variety of people. I am a true believer in the concept of “words shape beliefs” and, in that vein, saying “I do not know” or “please help” are powerful words since vulnerability often leads to growth and healing. One of my favorite quotes is by Viktor Frankl who said "When we are no longer able to change a situation - we are challenged to change ourselves."

I strive to serve people who feel unworthy, hopeless, or stuck. People who want to create positive change and are willing to co-create that by taking it one step at a time. I believe that anyone is capable of creating realistic, healthy goals that will increase their sense of wellbeing in their everyday life.

Life can be challenging sometimes. And sometimes we need some support navigating it all. Whether it's stress, anxiety, grief, life transitions, or anything else that feels hard to deal with, I am here to help. I believe that peace is possible no matter what you've been through. And I am here to help you get curious about the body and mind, to experience deep and lasting healing, and to explore a better way to live. Even though I am new to the field, I have experience and certifications in somatic therapy, mindfulness, and mind-body connection. I would love to help you when you're ready to dive deep and explore.

My goal as a therapist is to help clients who are having difficulty in our fast-paced environment dealing with life’s stressors related to marriages/partnerships, families, friendships, social isolation, employment and finances. I provide a safe place where clients know they can share in a confidential environment without judgment. All of us have negative thoughts. Realizing that we are more than our thoughts, though, can be truly liberating and allow a person to live a full and meaningful life, even when faced with struggles that may seem impossible to overcome.

Congratulations on taking this step to work on improving your life/situation. That is a huge step and one that will be honored if you choose to work with me. I see therapy as helping people to change, not changing people. I am a client-centered therapist with over 25 years working in mental health. I have seen such a wide brush-stroke of peoples' experiences, nothing is any longer unbelievable, nor open to my judgment. These experiences include: inpatient care, high school and university educational counseling, and community-based care. My clients experiences define the concept of diversity.

Whether working with a client or another clinician, I recognize that I am working with another human who should be viewed as a whole. I believe in supporting clients and supervisees through difficulties by utilizing a person centered approach and cognitive behavioral therapy techniques in order to facilitate a space of safety and growth. I am theoretically centered by Existential theory but influenced heavily by Humanistic and Behavioral theories. I am well versed in CBT, DBT, solution focused, health coaching and moderation coaching. My approach to supervision is heavily connected to my therapeutic style.

I offer a holistic approach to outpatient counseling to both children and adults with an emphasis on problem-solving and searching together for solutions that support life success and positive personal development. I work together with you to help you to overcome depression, anxiety, and trauma toward a happy and fulfilling life, using cognitive behavioral therapy, existential and humanistic counseling, and practical, social work-based approaches.

Life's challenges can feel overwhelming. When even getting out of bed feels like a struggle and it seems like nobody truly understands your struggles, it can be isolating. However, I'm here to assure you that you're not alone. I will partner with you to help restore your capacity to thrive by engaging your strengths, processing difficult emotions, and fostering a supportive environment for your personal growth and well-being. Together, we'll navigate challenges and celebrate successes, paving the way for a more fulfilling life.

We have openings for clients with Unicare, Aetna Better Health or the The Health Plan between 9 and 2pm. Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction or PTSD? Are you looking for "no shame" treatment that is based on how your brain works and changes? We are a group of compassionate counselors who have collaborated together to offer research supported, brain-based, integrative treatment to those who are hurting. Since different parts of the brain are in charge based on stress levels, treatments are most effective when matched with the part of the brain engaged.

The use of nature, mindfulness and nutrition will assist you in the therapeutic process of reducing and eliminating problematic symptoms related to stressors you are experiencing. At Nature-Heart Counseling I specialize in providing holistic counseling services for people experiencing various mental health conditions including ADD/ADHD, Anxiety, Stress/Panic, Depression, Substance Use, Grief, Mood Disruptions, All Aspects of Relationship Disruptions. Research is revealing the therapeutic effect nature has on all of our mental health struggles. Join me to learn how to implement this healing for yourself.

As your life coach, I will help you find your balance and empower you to fine tune your strengths and enlighten you in the areas that you desire improvement. Our interaction goes beyond the "session." I will be there for you in between our meeting times, as a supportive and accountable force to guide you towards your specific goals. My objective is to team up with the greatness of others, to motivate and assist in bringing out the full potential that lies within everyone.

I provide a safe and compassionate space where clients can be themselves and truly share their story with me. We all have unhelpful thoughts/coping strategies/emotional patterns that we pick up along the way that may have helped us adapt in the past but have kept us from growing. I utilize my client’s strengths to help them find their voice and empower them to make the changes to achieve the life they want. I have years of experience in helping people with anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship issues as well as everyday life stressors and challenges.

I enjoy working with people involved in the justice system, service members, veterans and families, women and men in recovery from addictive behaviors and adolescents. I offer a safe environment where you will feel comfortable and can openly share without fear of judgment.

With background and advanced training in both mental health counseling and sport, exercise, and performance psychology, I enjoy collaborating with people from diverse backgrounds who are motivated to find a deeper sense of purpose, meaning, and peace, gain insight, and more adaptively respond to life experiences. Clinically, I specialize in the treatment of chronic and acute stress and trauma, particularly as it relates to adverse childhood experiences. From a sport psychology perspective, I work with performers to cultivate resilience, respond more adaptively to sport-based stressors, and find enjoyment in sport and exercise.

Coping with life's challenges can feel overwhelming. At WM Counseling, we are here to help listen and guide you to achieve balance within yourself and your life. Whatever you are struggling with, you are not alone. As your therapist, we can help you to make positive changes in your daily life and bring hope to the future. It is our goal to bring the most supportive, nonjudgmental, and ethical practice in our work with you.
