Therapists in Wilmington, NC

I believe the most important relationship you have in your life is with yourself. We spend so much time and energy on other people, but it is just as important to put that same energy back into your own wellbeing. Often people find themselves at a point where they feel stuck or frustrated about their relationships, careers, families and even themselves. During those times, it can be immensely helpful to allow someone else to help us reflect and move forward. Today’s world can be very stressful, and I am honored to help people navigate the struggles of balancing all of life’s challenges.

Hi, I'm Cheryl. I have 20+ years of experience as a Clinical Social Worker/therapist. I see therapy as a process of introspection with compassion. Within therapy, one learns to listen and respond with compassion for oneself and others. In therapy, one can develop the ability to expand awareness and be more flexible in making life choices. My specialties include depression, anxiety, loss and grief, relationship issues, gay and lesbian issues, and trauma. I use a blend of cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic models and work with individuals, couples and groups.

Hi.My goal is to help you grow, to find more peace, more joy, & create more ease in your relationships; with you, others & your world. Clients come to me due to anxiety, fears, discomfort, uncertainty about the past, present & future. Some feel stuck, others hard to accept or simply a need for change, movement, healing, evolution. I understand that it's super difficult to figure out the HOW when we are caught up in life's challenges. I will hold up a mirror to you and life. Together we will cultivate Trust and Clarity. You will learn tools. As you practice, your life will gently unfold and you will create the life you desire.

Through a collaborative approach, I strive to help clients achieve their personal goals while providing empathy and respect as the foundations of treatment. I have experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families with a variety of emotional and behavioral concerns. My specialties include treating anxiety disorders, depression, mood instability, relationship and marital conflict, substance abuse, stress management, college issues, and life transitions (career decisions/changes, marriage, loss of relationships, retirement, etc.). I am also passionate about helping people improve their interpersonal and romantic relationships and incorporate research from the Gottman Method to teach practical communication and conflict resolution skills.

I provide therapy to people struggling with depression, anxiety, grief/loss, PTSD, life transitions, ADHD, perinatal and postpartum depression. I also help clients who need help with managing conflict, maintaining boundaries, and improving communication skills. If you are going through a divorce, I can assist with the grief process. Therapy is a collaborative process that can only be experienced in a safe and trusting relationship, so finding the "right fit" therapist is crucial to the success of therapy.

You have inherent value and my goal is to work collaboratively with you to find the best form of therapy to fit your needs. After all the suffering you’ve endured, you shouldn’t have to go through this alone.

Hi! Thank you for visiting my page. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been in the mental health field for almost fifteen years. I enjoy helping people and would like to help you reach your goals. I believe that the most important thing in therapy is the relationship between the client and his/her therapist.

Currently, I have openings for individuals and couples. We can be discerning, intuitive, & emotionally intelligent in our selection of partners. However, we won't know how real our love is until we go through the fire of conflict and stay centered in the face of feedback. The clients that show up in my office need support with conflict, abuse, trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, commitment, relationship and sexual intimacy. Clients want to feel worthy of love and establish trust and commitment in their relationships. Clients want to be heard, seen, loved for who they are and be open to reciprocity in love.

"Once upon a time..." is the beginning of many stories If you are seeking therapy, you have a story to tell. Perhaps your story is filtered through the lens of depression, anxiety, trauma or substance dependence. I will listen, and remain attentive to, and curious about the intricacies of your story. I will provide an atmosphere of safety without judgment so that enlightenment, healing and growth can take place. I use Solution-Focused approach to therapy and Motivational Interviewing techniques in my work with couples, families and individuals to help enhance and maintain rewarding relationships and manage life transitions.

What I feel I have to offer people is a helpful relationship based on acceptance and safety. My hope is always that together within this supportive relationship you can feel free to explore your thoughts, feelings, strengths, challenges and choices. I've found that understanding and accepting where we are gives us a strong foundation to sustain positive change. In over 30 years of professional experience, I've never worked with a person whose conditions/situations did not make sense, once these experiences have been understood.

You are a truly unique person, not a carbon copy of anyone else, so your therapy ideally would be designed for your individual needs. We will work together to find tools that fit YOU and that honor your true Self.
