Therapists in Davidson, NC

Are you stuck? The ability to grow is the primary indicator of a happy and healthy person. Anxiety and depression are signs you are stuck. Therapy with me is going to be about building a trusting and supportive relationship that will help facilitate a change in thinking, behavior or environment - to quickly get you growing again. I look forward to learning about you and the challenges you're facing. I'll bring my education and experience to our sessions with the goal of helping you flourish in your life.

Are you spinning your wheels? Have you tried, again and again, to just get this thing called life to work for you, but nothing seems to stick? I've been there, and I get it. Our lives are the stories of our being in the world, and I work with individuals, couples, and families to look at the big picture of the story of YOUR life. We will explore not only the “how” of your life and the challenges that it brings, but also the “why” of these same issues, so that you can finally make some progress and begin to live with greater fulfillment and ease of being in the world.

At some point in our lives, we all face challenges and difficulties. As a counselor, I feel it is my job to help guide and walk with you through these challenges. Through our work, we can navigate life’s obstacles and hardships and move towards accomplishing your therapeutic goals. I believe in illuminating my client’s strengths and utilizing those strengths to conquer anything that stands in their way of wellness, peace, and contentment. Our sessions can be a place to prioritize your needs in a safe, non-judgmental space.

Do you feel anxious, lost or alone? Is it difficult for you to share your feelings with others? Do you long for more love, joy and meaning in your life and relationships? Do you feel so busy taking care of others that you have neglected yourself? Would you like to experience more freedom, connection and passion? Psychotherapy is an effective, dynamic, interpersonal experience that can help transform your life and relationships. Using an interactive, sincere and supportive style, frustrating patterns can be unraveled to create more satisfaction, pleasure and balance in your life.

Currently I'm only accepting individuals for virtual session. As a marriage and family therapist I work with individuals, couples and family groups.Being an LMFT means being "systemic". I enjoy working with people with a variety of concerns such as: life transitions, relationships, sexual dysfunction, divorce/remarriage and health. I treat mental health issues as well as provide coaching. My focus is integrative, strength-based and client centered, meaning I'll work with you at your speed to achieve your goals. I view coaching and therapy as a collaborate process. Your motivation and our relationship is key.

My role is to create a relaxed, non-judgmental environment where you feel comfortable to explore your story together. I have helped people struggling with a range of different mental health diagnosis and life challenges. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional all my sessions are trauma informed and offer a warm, client-centered space for you to gain new perspectives about the world and yourself. In sessions with me you can expect to learn coping skills, but also get deeper by working on self-acceptance, autonomy, and overall feeling more empowered and in control.

I am passionate about helping adults and children through trauma. I value the innate potential each client has to gain insight and make the commitment to change their life when they are both ready and willing. I use compassion and accountability to provide a genuine platform for clients to reveal themselves without fear of judgments. In my therapeutic approach, I believe that each individual is unique. My treatment approach is customized to bring greater self-awareness, psychological healing, and inner satisfaction.

I enjoy working with adults, adolescents and children. I treat the whole person (emotionally, physically and spiritually). I help to motivate you toward realistic lifestyle change by meeting you where you are in the process. I treat those with ADHD, depression, anxiety and stress issues to name a few. I am trauma informed and I use different approaches based on the needs of the client. At the top of my list are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness and Stress Reduction Approaches.

If you are struggling to love the life you are living, counseling can help. The many roles we take on can easily create stress and make us lose our focus, but you are a valuable individual and deserve happiness. As a counselor, I will work to empower you to meet your goals in a supportive and encouraging environment with a variety of techniques and skills. As a Board Certified Telemental Health Provider, I am able to meet with clients via secure video in addition to meeting in my office.

There comes a point in time where we all could use a listening ear or a guidebook for how to overcome life's challenges. From depression to substance use, relationship issues or overcoming past trauma, life can throw you some curve balls that without intervention, could derail your future success. If you are feeling overwhelmed, stressed out, at a loss for what to do next, reaching out for help is the perfect first step! Whether your troubles are overtaking your life or you just feel like you aren't quite yourself, we can move through this stage of life together, and come out stronger on the other side.

I work best with an individual client, couple, or the family of a child or adolescent that recognizes that what they have been trying to do to deal with their life or behavioral issues is not working well, and they are now open to finding understanding, and trying new approaches to old, or recently acute problems. My experience has been that most couples really want to save their marriage or other family relationships and will do the work necessary to build a new and loving relationship.

Hello! My name is Donna Murray and I look forward to connecting with you. I’ve had the joy of working in the counseling field for over 25 years in multiple settings including: private practice, inpatient and outpatient, home-based, school-based and residential detox. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the states of Ohio, West Virginia and North Carolina and have been offering counseling services since 1996. Currently, I also serve on the West Virginia Certification Board for Addiction & Prevention Professionals.

Are you feeling exhausted, defeated, or overwhelmed? Does your best feel like it's never enough? I’m glad you’re here. Our darkest or most hectic times are often when we feel the most isolated and unheard. Therapy can help you find the light you need, and help you reconnect to the world and yourself. Pause, and give yourself credit for taking a step toward bettering your mental health today. I believe that you already have the strength & resilience within you to heal and grow, sometimes we all just need some help. Above all else, I want you to know that it’s okay not to be okay & that it’s possible for things to get better.

Trust, respect, safety and *authenticity* seems to be the most vital components to any relationship, especially the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist. My personal philosophies encourage my therapeutic approach of providing a warm and safe environment where you feel like you can be YOU! Creating an atmosphere of no judgment, is of the utmost important to me in working with you as a client. I respect honesty and ensure to provide you the same so that you grow. We may laugh, we may cry, but we will leave feeling a little lighter (insert winky face).

We often seek therapy because we are hurting and unhappy in our relationships with others and ourselves. Anxiety or sadness can clue us in that something is amiss. Therapy can help you heal from past hurts and face the future with clear-eyed resolve to live life how you want. I provide evidence-based therapy for trauma-related concerns, anxiety, autism and ADHD in adults, and gender and sexual identity development. We will create new ways to cope in the present and heal wounds from the past so that you can live the life you really want.

Life can be tough to navigate and I want to help you achieve a more balanced state of well-being. By providing a supportive, compassionate, objective environment, I will help you identify, explore and navigate life’s difficult situations. I will meet you where you are on your journey and integrate various techniques tailored to your individual needs. I offer an individualized, holistic approach to counseling because I believe everyone’s journey through life is truly unique. I would be honored to help you discover purposeful direction and personal growth towards your own “True North.”
