Person-Centered Therapists in Oak Forest, Charlotte, NC

Greetings! I’ve studied a multitude of counseling approaches for individuals, marriage and family systems. With over 15 years as a mental health provider, I understand the importance of destigmatizing mental health, and embodying social justice practice by serving marginalized communities and families. Utilizing a collaborative, person centered treatment approach, I focus on developing healthy coping skills and providing psychoeducation on your personal difficulties. Additionally, I believe in creating a warm and attuned environment where you feel heard, accepted and valued.

My name is Jasmine Johnson, Owner of In Tune Creative Counseling, PLLC, where we specialize in creating safe spaces just for you. I help clients overcome emotional and mental challenges, while feeling supported and accepted right where they are . Whether you feel stuck in a never-ending cycle, not quite sure of the reasons behind your responses, or you are experiencing unpleasant emotions and thoughts, I am here to tell you that you don’t have to do this alone. I enjoy helping clients gain insights into themselves, tackle unhelpful thoughts, heal from trauma, learn new coping skills and create a safe space for self-expression.

Do you find yourself going through a tough time? Do you feel as though you are facing more than you can handle? Do you feel lost and don’t know where to go or what to do next? I would like to assist you as you face those hardships, trials, circumstances or challenges. Together we can create and regain a regimen, help you navigate through life changes, and also help you to find a sense of hope. To see you step into a mindset free from worry, unhealthy thoughts, shame, or self-doubt.

The sun is out longer, seasonal depression is lifting, birds are chirping. Do you have a safe space to unpack your thoughts and feelings. I enjoy working with people who recognize they aren't where they want to be; stuck in transition, unsure of what's next, etc. As a therapist, I unpack the puzzles of life with you and often end sessions with challenges to you for our time apart to work through some of the challengign pieces of the puzzle of life that we are working on. Finding a good therapist is like finding a good hair stylist or barber. Not everyone is a good fit so shopping around is important.

People often seek therapy when they have hit a wall in their lives. Maybe you have tried to do it differently this time, in your relationships or your work, or you have a sense that you are not where you want to be in your life. You may be dealing with anxiety, depression, stress or trauma, or are in a major life transition. Whatever your needs or goals, you may have heard the small voice that says, "Maybe I need some help". My ideal client is anyone who is ready to listen to that voice, and knows that today is the day to reach out, and to seek the life you deserve.

Hello, My name is Franklin D. Williams, Jr. I find it a great honor counseling with clients who are just dealing with life's many transitions to doing therapy with those clients who are facing challenging diagnosable mental health issues. I am a dually licensed counseling professional, with several years of experience. I enjoy helping others to achieve their therapeutic goals while showing compassion and allowing a client-centered experience.

Are you feeling tired, drained, or maybe overwhelmed with the sudden change in your child’s behavior? Is your child struggling with nightmares, flashbacks, negative thoughts about themselves or the world, irritability, negative affect, anger, difficulties concentrating, isolation, loss of interest or re-experiencing an event? If so, your child may be experiencing trauma symptoms. Trauma symptoms are the result of a frightening, dangerous, or violent event that possesses a threat to one’s life especially children. Traumatic experiences can elicit strong emotional and physical reactions that can linger long after the traumatic event.

My approach is rooted in the belief that with awareness, knowledge, and effort you can be empowered to live the life you desire and manifest your goals. I will work with you to develop a stronger, more accepting sense of self through mindfulness, challenging negative cognitions, and validation. I deem myself a counselor, rather than a therapist, one who provides counsel through education, support, guidance, and feedback, with a more directive and accountable approach than a therapeutic exploration of one’s emotional experience. By providing "bumpers," we can work together to identify and dismantle the barriers to your intentions.

Life can bring waves of transition; many are excellent, and others are more complex. I enjoy partnering with older adults and their families to provide support and explore ways to improve the quality of life for all. Typical areas of exploration may include retirement, end of life, grief, loss of independence, caregiver stress, role reversal/confusion, depression, isolation, anxiety, and life inventory. I offer a holistic and client-centered approach embracing empowerment, narratives, and strengths to rebalance joy and fulfillment as life transitions.

Our motto at Tabonuco is "Growing Deep Roots." We understand that life can come at you and your family making life feel unmanageable. You may be facing challenges brought on from the past. You may sometimes be uncertain about your future. You may not know how to help your child manage hard things. All this can cause distress. Our therapists are all trained to assist you in your journey using a multi-modal approach that can be adapted to you depending on your developmental level.

I work with adults to help them process their past and bring balance into their current lives. I focus on a variety of issues that are facing people, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, and grief. I also work with children aged 2.5 to 12 and their families. I work with a variety of problems that children and families are facing, such as behavioral issues, trauma, and anxiety. I use a playful approach when working with children to help build self-esteem, teach emotional regulation and boundaries, and develop appropriate responsibility.

Do you lie in bed before the alarm goes off feeling anxious, overwhelmed or alone? Do you wonder where you will find the strength to get through today? Is previous trauma weighing heavily on your heart, mind, and soul? Are your current relationships messy? My goal as your therapist is to normalize the common experiences we share as humans: pain, suffering, the desire to know our true selves, and connect with others. Unhealed trauma, anxiety, and depression can leave us feeling blah with life.
