Substance Use Therapists in The Arboretum, Charlotte, NC

I strive to meet people where they are and create a safe environment where people can process underlying trauma/life-challenge to support more alignment with their intuition/goals. Part of my work with people entails reframing/challenging negative self-talk, helping set realistic short-term goals to aid in accomplishing long-term ones, improving emotion regulation, and developing mindfulness skills. I am an ally in all forms and address people-problems regardless of labels. I enjoy helping LCAS-A, LCAS-R, CADC-A, CADC-R clinicians through virtual weekly supervision groups on Wednesdays at 12pm. Individual supervisions are available.

Hello all! As a therapist, I understand that therapy can be an intimidating and overwhelming process to start. I strive to meet clients where they are and engage with clients using a positive, non-threatening, and relatable approach. Along with offering in-office and Telehealth visits, I offer walk-and-talk sessions to address issues and move your body outdoors. I endeavor to create a collaborative therapy process that assists clients with addressing concerns and working towards their individualized goals.

Hi, my name is Rachel Merritt. I am currently a Licensed Clinical Social Work Associate. I have experience working with adolescents who have been diagnosed with mental illness or substance use and are a part of the juvenile justice system. My area of focus has been working with youth in individual therapy, working with couples through relationships difficulties and intimacy issues and working with groups in the treatment of trauma.

Sustainable change takes time and it has been well-known for years that the most important component of this change is the therapeutic relationship. Licensed to treat both mental health and substance use issues, I use a nonjudgmental, collaborative approach, and believe strongly that my clients are the experts of their own lives. Sometimes we just need help finding our way, and I am here to walk with you on that difficult journey. Our relationship will serve as the North Star.

I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges. My goal as a therapist is to walk alongside you, process past experiences, shed light on patterns you are engaging in, and provide you with tools to improve your mental health. I aim to foster growth, introspection, and self-acceptance. I enjoy working with a range of ages and concerns, but I am particularly passionate about working with young adults suffering from anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, and self-esteem issues

As a therapist, my hope is to create a space that feels welcoming to your authentic self. I aim to hold space for you to show up as you need to that day, and will honor what you need in each session whether that is a space to vent, explore new skills, be challenged, or create goals that will meet your needs. I specialize in working eating disorders and body image concerns, substance use, college students, and the LGBTQ+ community. I additionally support those experiencing anxiety, depression, impacts from trauma, identity development, life transitions, and safety concerns such as self -harm or suicidality.
