You are not alone! Many folks today are feeling stuck... or overwhelmed by anxiety, loss, and confusion. Others are trying to make meaning of early life events or current relational strife with partners, children, or parents. If you find yourself longing for a place to be heard with no judgment - with a person who would be honored to help you navigate both the little and large obstacles you face - you are in the right place!

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Clinician with a Master’s in School Counseling from Lenoir-Rhyne University. I use person-centered therapy, reality therapy, & Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am rostered in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, an evidenced-based practice that aids individuals in recovering from and understanding traumatic events in their lifetime. I believe we all need support in various ways, & a systemic approach via our families or other outside members is key to our success.

After that horrific humiliating work experience, you constantly feel so misunderstood, left behind, and stupid at work, no matter how affirming your current boss and coworkers’ intentions are. You know you have potential, but you are doubting it will ever be played out, much less recognized due to the constant blockage of self-doubt. You’ve almost given up on ever getting enough sleep or family time, much less yoga class or lunch with friends, for worrying so much about being suddenly busted for another unintended mess up at work.

I am best suited for clients who are ready to make some positive changes in their lives to increase their satisfaction. I have a diverse range of clients of all ages. Whether you want to work with overcoming struggles from the past, things happening currently, or anxiety about the future I am able to support you through these challenges. I work alongside of you to ensure that we are prioritizing what issues, needs, and goals that are what you feel is most important. Therapy works best when you are bought into change and sometimes being ready for change is hard. I can help either of these perspectives..

...Life often involves challenges effecting the journey toward personal and professional objectives. There are times when it is only the support of genuine listening, empathy, and guidance that desired outcomes are achieved. Whether you are trying to cope with anxiety, depression, self-esteem/confidence, relationship challenges, communication skills, impulse control concerns, life-transition issues (e.g., military/vet, divorce, job loss, retirement), trauma, grief, physical/sexual abuse, or other life challenges. Life is difficult and requires growth and change that are not always easy or comfortable.

Thanks for taking the time to consider me for potential counseling. You must be experiencing a time of significant distress during this part of your life. I’d like to help if I am a good fit for you! Mental health counseling is an investment in the quality of your life. That’s what we are trained to do, assist persons who can’t seem to find a way out of their suffering and negative circumstances. It offers a combination of human support, professional guidance and evidence-based psychoeducation.

With a high value placed on each client as an individual and their experiences I recognize that your needs are as unique as you are. Entering therapy offers an opportunity to process out our needs/stressors in a non-judgmental, objective, caring and professional setting with a focus on improving emotional wellness. Drawing on 20 years of experience in the field of mental health I integrate cognitive behavioral interventions, mindfulness practice, dialectics, strengths and solutions focused intervention and EMDR to support clients in meeting their treatment goals. I am a certified EMDR therapist through EMDRIA (www.emdria.org).

Thank you for taking the time to seek counseling. That is a huge step to trigger the change you want in your current situation. I do believe there is hope and answers. Congratulations on taking the first step! At Mind-Body Connection Counseling I offer individual, group, and couples therapy. We start with a free friendly initial consultation. We help you by analyzing your issue with a biopsychosocial approach and finally, we start the therapeutic process with an eclectic approach. We offer a safe, comfortable, and nonjudgmental environment where my clients feel heard. You will be moving forward with the necessary tools.

Anxiety and depression can be overwhelming and interfere with reaching your highest potential in all areas of your life. It’s incredibly uncomfortable to feel your heart and mind race or to have shortness of breath. You worry about when a panic attack will happen again and the worry makes matters even worse. You just want to slow your mind down and quit thinking. Your relationships and work performance may be suffering as you lie in bed dwelling on the past or worrying about the future. You've tried everything to control your thoughts and feelings but can't.

Life transitions are a part of our journey and, while some are rewarding, some are a challenge. Whether you are struggling with something personally or professionally, you could benefit from working with a therapist who understands and can help guide you through the work to initiate change in your life. My approach is holistic, honest, and interactive with a little humor thrown in when needed. Clients appreciate my authenticity and ability to “be real” with them regarding how best to tackle current issues and concerns. I encourage my clients to start with small steps and move toward what speaks to their heart and their values.

I have a humanistic and client-centered approach. I view the counseling relationship as a collaboration between myself and you. Together we will work towards self-acceptance and self-awareness by dealing with issues such as moods, attitudes, thoughts, and behaviors that may be standing in the way of happiness and contentment in your life. I use an integrative method including cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, reality therapy, positive psychotherapy, and mindfulness training with a mind-body-and-soul model.

Way to go! You're making a hard decision! I'm so glad you're choosing to take care of yourself! Are you struggling with knowing who you are beyond a parent, partner, sibling, student, etc..? Maybe it's left you feeling ways you don't understand. Some phases in life are just so hard. I want to help you navigate through these phases with hope; not tell you how to live your life. When we struggle with our mental wellness, the systems around us also struggle, whether that's your family, kids, pets, relationships, work, friends/social life. In my sessions, you lead the way and I will challenge and encourage you to see beyond the surface.

Maybe you are facing a transition in your life, struggling with your sense of self or personal relationships, or you’ve faced difficult situations that have lingered with you. Sometimes when we are experiencing these we can feel on edge, easily frustrated, confused, unmotivated, or inadequate. You’re ready for a change and want to be met with a balance that leads you to growth and compassion for yourself. I have experience working with a diverse variety of children, adolescents, and adults. I am especially passionate working with those struggling with self-worth, depression, anxiety, trauma, attachment, and parenting.

Watching your daughter struggle with low self-esteem, anxiety, and perfectionism can be heartbreaking. You want nothing more than to see her thrive and to feel good about herself, but sometimes it can feel like you’re not sure how to help. That’s where I come in. Hi there! I'm Katey, a licensed therapist specializing in helping preteen and teen girls overcome all aspects of perfectionism. Before my clients came to see me, they felt inadequate and less than. They were certain they would never be good enough, no matter how hard they tried.

With over a decade of experience as a first responder, I specialize in trauma support for first responders, veterans, and families. While trauma is a focus, I'm adept at addressing various challenges individuals encounter. Through personalized guidance and resilience-building techniques, we navigate your unique journey together, fostering safety, trust, and empowerment. My goal extends beyond trauma recovery to encompass holistic well-being, equipping you with tools for self-sufficiency across life's spectrum. Let's embark on this transformative journey together toward a future where your resilience shines independently.

Sometimes, life can be extremely difficult and feel out of control. Many of us have been taught that asking for help is a sign of weakness, but I believe that we need to challenge that thought. The ability to be vulnerable, to say we are not okay and to reach out for support, is the bravest step we can take. I have personally witnessed individuals who had experienced years of trauma, addiction and mental health challenges create meaningful lives that brought them a sense of joy and peace. They found a new sense of purpose and created the healthy loving relationships. They realized the laughter they heard was once again their own.

I have many years of experience helping adolescents, young adults, adults, families and parents function more effectively in their relationships and in the world. Rather than focus on diagnoses or symptoms, I prefer to see a client as whole person and to help them unearth the roots of their patterns. It takes bravery, commitment, and compassion to face our pain and transform our relationship to it. By letting go of past emotional burdens, we can then work to change the behaviors that result from them. I am committed to creating a strong working relationship with my clients, which is a precursor to successful therapeutic outcomes.

Welcome! I believe it takes just the right combination of bravery and hope to enter counseling, so I am happy that you are here. I am committed to helping people utilize their own knowledge of themselves and build a healthier, happier, and more resilient life. It is completely natural to struggle and experience difficulties. Sometimes these difficulties come from experiencing traumatic events, managing difficult relationships, and even feeling as if we do not know ourselves and what we really want out of life. My role as a counselor is to provide guidance, help to organize feelings and concerns, and support you in your goals.

Welcome! I believe that you inherently have all you need within you to heal, and together we will begin to discover & utilize it. I sit with those who are moving through transitions in life, navigating relationship or family conflict, processing loss & grief, or have survived unwanted sexual experiences & trauma during childhood or as an adult. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or are questioning your self-worth or how to move forward, we will uncover ways to bring ease, peacefulness and growth through building self-acceptance and self-trust as a foundation.
