Clear, Resolve, Transform. I help clients discover and resolve subconscious causes for emotionaI and behavioral difficulties. The Subconscious controls emotions, desires, memory, habits, thoughts, dreams, and automatic responses. One may consciously understand the value of eliminating problematic emotions, thoughts or behaviors but unless the Subconscious Mind is reached, enduring change is unlikely. I address the underlying subconscious blocks to living a clear and free life. I have effectively treated sexual abuse, trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, phobias, addictions and more. Issues are cleared, clients report being able to function with more energy and clarity. Relationships thrive and lives are transformed.

If you are having the same arguments over and over again, you are not alone. I will be with you every step of the way. I use Emotionally Focused Therapy for Couples to interrupt repetitive Cycles where one person reaches out in frustration, causing their partner to withdraw and hide out. Couple Therapy doesn't have to be torture, and there doesn't have to be a "bad guy". I have helped couples with a range of issues from Domestic Abuse to infidelity to communication issues. I even use humor sometimes, but we don't waste a moment! I welcome couples who have been in couple therapy before and have almost given up.

I am accepting new cIients. I believe we all have times in our lives when we can become overwhelmed and may need help from another person. If this is your first time seeking help, it can be intimidating to choose a therapist and begin the journey to healing. My goal is to help you explore challenging areas of your life, examine relationships, and support life transitions. I work with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, substance abuse and life transitions. No matter where you find yourself in your life journey, I promise you will be welcomed and provided with compassionate support.

**I am unable to accept new clients at this time as my caseload is full** We all go through times in our lives when therapy can help us to cope with the difficulties that arise. You are not alone. Maybe your are feeling overwhelmed or stuck. You feel like you have tried everything and you are looking for a new way to improve your situation. Perhaps your child has experienced an upsetting event and you don't want this to define them. It hurts to see the people we love upset or struggling. I can offer the tools, skills, and support for your journey.

After 24+ years of practicing in community mental health agency settings and supervising and training clinicians, I am transitioning into private practice in order to more directly serve individuals and families who are struggling with issues of functionality, relationships, identity, self-esteem and other manifestations of life challenges. I have extensive experience working with trauma, mood disorders and behavior disorders and I work exceptionally well with adolescents and young adults although I feel comfortable working with adults of all ages. When you want to better understand your particular challenges and make positive changes, I can assist with your healing/growth process.

Hope Anchors the Soul. I practice this perspective and try to incorporate it in my therapy. I value the client-therapist relationship more than anything, and empower clients to see their own strengths, the positive elements of their life, and to develop hope for the future they envision. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental environment for self-exploration and expression. Together we will identify your goals, and develop a plan to help you attain them. My ultimate goal is to guide you to becoming the best version of your true self...a self that you learn to value and love!

(I have a waitlist for therapy clients, however I have one opening for private pay spiritual growth/development coaching) I'm glad you're here. This may mean you want to grow and stretch beyond what you have been, into a more balanced and authentic version of yourself. Guiding and supporting you in your journey is one of my passions. I help by guiding you through your process of healing, self reflection and skill building as you become more resilient and confident, through what I have learned from my own life experiences, as well as my professional training as a clinical social worker and addiction specialist.

Stress, anxiety, uncertainty, and fear can feel overwhelming. You may find yourself turning to drugs or alcohol, unhealthy eating patterns, self-harm, or other harmful behaviors to cope with your emotions. You may be struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, or fear during these uncertain times. Maybe you are currently in recovery from addiction or an eating disorder, and are having trouble maintaining your progress. Or perhaps you are concerned that your teenager is dealing with some of these issues. Whatever you are facing, you are not alone! I am here to provide support, guidance, and encouragement!

I am encouraged by the resilience of the human spirit. We have an incredible ability to heal and make meaning out of our lives. Within a comfortable therapeutic relationship that is built on trust, the power of telling ones story is transformative and can provide the fuel for making courageous life changes. I work with a range of issues and disorders, including depression, grief, anxiety,attachment and relationship struggles. I have years of experience in trauma recovery work with survivors of violence and sexual abuse. In my work I offer authenticity and direct communication as a compliment to my knowledge base.

Adolescents, parents, and young adults are invited to explore relationship patterns that have contributed to psychological distress and gain awareness of how to positively contribute to interpersonal effectiveness, establish meaningful connections and set appropriate personal boundaries with self and others. Self concept, unmet needs, and goals for reaching your full potential are identified. Wellness skills and communication strategies are introduced and practiced to establish healthy emotional regulation, prosocial engagement and resilience. Trauma Informed, Jungian & Choice Theory directed, Community Resiliency Model Certified.

I work with clients in a relaxed, informal, and professional way to promote emotional safety and comfort within the relationship so that they can process openly and authentically about meaningful and often sensitive topics. While experiencing this connection, people are able to gain presence, reflect on experiences and plan for personal maintenance, change and growth. Many clients enjoy both spending time in the office, taking walks, spending time in nature, and/or meeting virtually for telehealth sessions. I like to utilize physical activity, mindfulness, and ecotherapy for engagement and emphasizing overall health and wellness.

I work with high-functioning men who care deeply about others. They have ambitions and enjoy success. But they need help balancing the demands of work and life, and navigating the challenges of relationships. Whether it’s about their marriage, their family or their parenting, the skills they need at home are different from the skills needed at the office. That’s where I can help.

I am not accepting new clients at this time. Express more. Feel better. It's hard to take the leap to look for a therapist if you're feeling anxious, depressed or unsure. Working with the arts modalities can help you build self-esteem, reduce stress and anxiety, cope with grief, improve expression/communication, and help you grow and heal as a human in this difficult yet wonderful world. No art experience necessary! All sessions online give you additional privacy and comfort in your own space. To schedule a free 30 minute consultation, email me: taisir@creatingartworks.com

At one time or another, we've all felt alone or paralyzed by our struggles. Life can be overwhelming and it can be difficult to identify how to begin changing our current situation. I'm glad you've made it here to my page. I have over 10 years of experience helping people find stability in life. I firmly believe that everyone has the capacity to grow and change, and should do so at their own pace. I also believe in empowering my clients by assisting them in identifying valuable tools to create meaningful and lasting change.

WHAT IS YOUR STORY?? How do you want to grow? What is still hurting you or holding you back? Hi, my name is Jabari Adams and I am a clinical counselor that works with my clients to promote positive and healthy outcomes. I tend to focus on the holistic health of my clients, encouraging them to prioritize their mental, physical, spiritual and emotional health. I have done extensive work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression and adjustment related disorders. I also work well with clients that have survived significant trauma in their lives. You have come so far! I know that you are ready to begin living your best life!

I believe that all of our experiences can enrich us if we can find meaning and reclaim our strength after suffering. I help clients understand how the brain strives ever toward survival, and to use that understanding to transform old thought patterns that have kept them stuck in the past. I work with both children and adults on the premise of resilience, and that our brains can and do evolve all the time. I also offer Supervision services to interns and LCMHCAs, both individually and in small peer groups.

I am best known in the Asheville area as a couples therapist for both heterosexual and gay/lesbian clients. I specialize in restoration of intimacy, including the rebuilding of trust after extramarital involvements, as well as helping with infertility and parenting challenges. I also enjoy helping individual clients and families, including multigenerational families, to solve tough relationship problems.

If you’ve found your way to this site (and, let’s be real…if you’re a human being), I know life has handed you or your child many stressors and challenges and you/they are likely experiencing strong or even overwhelming emotions - perhaps anxiety, sadness, outbursts or numbing, low self-worth. I believe many of our common difficulties stem from experiences of disconnection - with ourselves, others, and the natural world - and that what most of us are seeking is a path toward belonging, joy, a sense of calm, and meaning. These gifts of life grow when we connect deeply, inward & outward, and immerse ourselves in the world around us.

I am a holistic practitioner, blending psychodynamic and somatic psychology. This approach recognizes that the very symptoms for which we seek treatment have-in part-served some purpose. I graduated from the Master's degree program in Counseling Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute in 2003, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist in North Carolina. I have a total of 20 years pre- and post-grad counseling experience. I provide psychotherapy for adults, specializing in Trauma Recovery, Attachment, Addiction, and Archetypal Psychology
