Therapists in Charlotte, NC

Nature's Way Holistic Counseling offers clinical mental health counseling with the addition of a health and wellness framework that connects the body, mind, and spirit. We believe in the term "holistic" counseling because our minds are not independent of all other aspects of life, but is dependent upon the complex, interconnected factors of life, including the food we eat, the environment in which we live, and the content we consume. Although some counseling services address these topics on some level, there is a gap in the field of practitioners offering such a comprehensive evaluation.

NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! My passion is to assist individuals to become their true and authentic self. My desire is to foster healing and growth within each individual, family and couple I work with. I believe that in order to make these changes, the client and I will need to look at the complete picture of their life, taking a more holistic approach. I like to draw on their strengths in order to help implement change. I want to help my clients move beyond the troubles and stressors they have experienced in their lives and help them move towards a life worth living

Life can be complicated and difficult to maneuver at times. Although we live in a complex society, life should be enjoyable. There may be times when you or a loved one will need extra support and guidance to navigate the hard parts of life. I am committed to helping you do just that. I am dedicated to assisting you in regaining the confidence you need to tackle challenges and overcome obstacles. Thank you for choosing me and allowing me to help you through this phase of life.

There is a solution. There is hope. And there is healing. Anxiety, depression, disordered eating, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, disruption in relationships, substance abuse, and on and on. These are curable, changeable, healable issues. When you go straight to the root of the issue, you can bring deep, lasting change. And we now know that the root of every mental health disorder (and many physical diseases as well) is some form of unresolved trauma. Trauma refers to any moment in our lives that we were unsafe in some way. Big or small, single events or years-long patterns-if we aren't able to process it, we store it.

I believe my background as a female of a minority race, and the daughter of immigrants helps me see individuals in a nonjudgmental space informed by a social justice lens. My upbringing, education, and work experience combine for a unique level of appreciation and understanding that helps me connect with people on a more intimate level. My clinical approach is client centered and strengths based, meaning I will meet you where you are at in terms of readiness for change, while also therapeutically challenging you by helping you access your unique strengths and abilities. I will tailor the therapy to what is most supportive to you.

My ideal client is one whom is willing and ready to take care of themselves emotionally, spiritually, and physically for proper growth. If you are in need of grief counseling then I am the counselor that can help you by creating a safe and inclusive space by offering cultural spaces to those of BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, LGBT+ community and people of color.

Does it feel like you are constantly in a pattern of being undervalued, misunderstood, and overwhelmed? Do you feel like you know “better” but don't always "do better?" Does it feel like no matter how well you are doing in one part of your life, others are chaotic? Starting therapy doesn't always have to be done while in crisis. I know firsthand what it feels like to show up for myself, even when I don’t feel it.

I believe that people are resilient and innately possess everything they need to accomplish their goals. Through our counseling relationship I will encourage you to become self aware, take responsibility for current thought processes and behavior patterns that may have a negative effect on your life, and commit to transformation.

In our work we will uncover past traumas, confront negative thoughts and behavior patterns, and create plans to reach your goals.

You have already taken the first step by looking into therapy, and I am so glad you're here!
