Therapists in Charleston, WV

Do you feel stuck? Stuck in your life, your past, your anxiety, depression, anger, apathy, overwhelm, grief, or PTSD? Life is a challenging journey. As a man, it's hard to seek help or express vulnerability, but you don't have to carry the weight of your struggles alone. I'm here to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can find the support and guidance to fix the problem. If you fully invest in this process, expect to feel lighter, more effective, efficient, powerful, and clear about where you want to go and what you want to do with your life and/or parenthood. While I specialize in men, I love serving people of all kinds.

Life is full of ups and downs. It can be overwhelming, confusing, challenging or just plain hard! We all need support to maneuver our way through the uncertainties that life can bring - traumatic experiences, loss of a loved one or even struggles with self esteem.  Having a safe space to sort out these thoughts and feelings is key. I will use my holistic approach to focus on healing the whole person. We will work together to build resilience and develop skills to help you on your journey so you can feel confident while facing life's challenges.

If you are seeking assistance with intrusive thoughts or troubling behavior, like checking the locks repeatedly, then I may be of service. I have experience with PTSD, depression, and anxiety. If you struggle getting along with coworkers or even friends and family, we can work to improve those relationships. Isolation does not fix the problem, it further damages those relationships and leaves you feeling alone. Anger and anxiety are natural feelings. However, sometimes controlling them can be easier said than done.

Malina provides services to adolescents, adults, families, and couples. Her therapeutic approach leans heavily on psychodynamic theory while using other modalities based on the unique and specific needs of her clients. She engages through elements of EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and Family Systems Therapy, among others.

I am here to help you heal the distress you are feeling coming from anxiety, depression addiction, trauma, PTSD or family problems. It can be hard to connect with a therapist at first. You don't know this person and how are you going to feel trusting and secure with a stranger? Yet you are in pain and need help. It is just a first step, one that does not have to lead to commitment. You are in charge and are simply "auditioning" to see if this connection feels good and helpful.

Are you tired of being the strong one ALL the time? Does your inner child need to be seen and understood? Therapy can help you learn to love yourself, feel safe in your body and let go of the past. We will tackle the root causes of your present day struggles to heal not only in the short term but also the long term.

Please contact KPCC Counseling for scheduling and let the front desk know you're interested in seeing Susan Armentrout. They will take your information and send it my way and I'll get in touch with you. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been practicing for over 13 years, providing excellence in care, using evidence-based counseling with my clients. I am a strong believer in working collaboratively with my clients to help them reach their goals and to join them in their journey of writing their story of success and healing.

When choosing a counselor, you'll want the person to be trained and competent. You'll want them to "get" you and be able to help you skillfully and effectively. So, look over my credentials, and if you have questions, ask. And if you're ready, let's meet and go from there.

My clients are aware that something in their current lives is no longer serving them, want to understand how that came to be, and align themselves with the vision they have for their future. This often starts by noticing repeating patterns of behavior in themselves, or those they attract, and becoming curious about the reason why. They may also find that they experience certain physical and emotional responses (anger, anxiety, people pleasing etc.) and know that their body is trying to tell them something needs to shift.

I believe that you came across this page for a reason. I know that reaching out for help can be a daunting process that takes a lot of courage. I am here to remind you that you have the strength and courage within you to take that next step!

I like to create a safe space for you to feel comfortable opening up about the most difficult topics in your life or on your mind; meet you where you are in your healing journey in order to gain an understanding of your stressors, what has been poking those emotional bruises, and help identify the goals you wish to achieve. I'm passionate about helping you identify your current triggers, stressors and conflicts in order to help you develop healthier coping strategies to improve those areas of your life.

I love helping clients to connect with their authentic selves and strengthen their relationships. I work from a framework that explores the ways that early experiences can shape current patterns of relating. My work is also guided by the understanding that many clients' difficulties are impacted by systems of oppression such as racism, transphobia, homophobia, and gender discrimination. Most importantly, this space centers on you and what you're bringing into it; I'm not here to judge, criticize, or fix you, but instead support you in learning about your own internal world.

Are you looking to make a life change, big or small? Are you tired of feeling stuck in old patterns and unable to move forward? Do you find yourself too weighed down by the past to take a much-needed step forward? If so, I'd like to help you make sense of the past, become present in the now, and look toward the future.

There is no need to struggle in silence. Life can become overwhelming, confusing, and difficult to manage. Do you find yourself repeating past patterns and behaviors that are destructive? Therapy is a place to regain a sense of self and purpose. Together we will find your strengths, re-examine harmful patterns, and reconnect you to a healthy life where you feel connected and fulfilled. I have over twenty-four years of working as a licensed therapist (WV LPC). I am a Certified EMDR therapist. I also have training in other evidence-based treatment modalities including Emotionally Focused Therapy and AEDP.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist who provides Telehealth appointments to people living in Charleston and throughout WV. I am open and affirming of all persons-regardless of sexual orientation, gender, age, race, faith, or marital status. People see me for a variety of needs, such as couples therapy, individual therapy, recovery after an affair, grief, or a traumatic personal history.
