Women's Issues Therapists in Raeburn, Charlotte, NC

Do you often feel stressed and anxious? I enjoy helping women grow in freedom from anxiety, feeling isolated & overwhelmed in their personal &/or professional lives. I know from working with clients, they want peace of mind, to experience healthy relationships, feel fulfilled in who they are and lead lives of impact. Yet, sometimes we wonder after experiencing ongoing circumstances of disappointment and undue stress, where that woman went or how to find her again...Day to day reality, especially through significant times of change, can be overwhelming, resulting in feeling weighed down by much to do’s and a drive to keep performing.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS.......In A Time Of Uncertainty. Experiencing depression, anxiety, and stress is a normal response. Some symptoms may include sadness, fear, excessive worry, changes in sleep or eating patterns, and difficulty concentrating. Anew Vision Counseling Services provides a personal counseling experience where we educate, encouarage and empower in the journey towards healing.

There is great potential for positive change within reach. Starting therapy is one way to start taking courageous steps forward toward a new beginning. I believe that all people have the ability to make positive changes to bring about a more meaningful, balanced life. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgemental space to process difficult emotions and thought processes and gain necessary coping skills to reduce distress. We'll work together to identify specific issues causing distress, recognize existing strengths to draw upon and develop new and effective coping strategies.

My passion is to help individuals and couples reach their therapeutic goals. I have a heart for people and love walking with people as they grow and develop into who they want to become. My ultimate goal is to assist therapeutically and collaboratively with an encouraging and non-judgmental approach. When requested, I am knowledgeable and skilled in biblical integration and Christian counseling.

In my practice, I work to provide a safe, encouraging and supportive environment to help clients effectively manage feelings of depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, shame and guilt associated with past trauma and abuse. I will provide tools for coping with overwhelming feelings, and I will help guide my clients on a path of self-reflection and personal growth to help achieve the goals they set for therapy. I offer a non-judgmental environment and I welcome members of the GLBT community.

When we experience extreme stress or distressing events that leave us afraid, disconnected, or out of control, it is the telling of our story that creates the change we choose. My goal is to help you understand your past so you can move towards the life desired. By providing a supportive and collaborative approach to therapy, you will be able to develop your own goals, rediscover your values, find meaning, and conquer obstacles.

Do you ever feel stressed or overwhelmed by others' expectations? Do you sometimes struggle to feel fully engaged with life? Battling with an addiction or eating disorder is a painful process that is driven by secrecy and control. My goal is to help break down these walls and bring what hides in the darkness into the light in a nonjudgmental, caring, and compassionate manner so you can begin to see a different way of living. I truly believe only when you feel enough support and safety are you able to begin making choices for health and recovery.

You feel alone and you’re not sure where to go from here. You’ve tried to change things but nothing seems to work. You’re frustrated with where you are and what is going on in your life. You feel like you’ve exhausted all other options. You’re hoping to find someone who can listen without the fear of judgement. Who can offer support and help you get answers. You’re wanting the thoughts that tell you “you’re not good enough” to stop. To wake in the morning without feeling drained. Whether this is a new pain or a chronic one, by looking for help you are taking a courageous step. I understand how scary it can be to ask for help.

Are you are living in a constant state of worry? Are you a couple who is sinking into a cycle of conflict that you can’t escape, or a Christian who feels lost and seeking spiritual guidance? Then Anchored Hope Counseling is the place for you. My counseling philosophy can be summarized in the name "Anchored Hope," which was inspired by Hebrews 6:19; a verse that teaches that hope for healing can be steadfast and anchors us. With secure hope, we may not always see how the healing will come but we know that it will come through faith. For us, counseling is a way to direct people to hope so that they can experience joy and wholeness.

There is no better time than now to start your healing journey. I have a passion for helping people and desire to create a comfortable, safe environment for people to come just as they are and process the burdens they carry. I recognize how brave of a step it is to reach out for help and my approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and collaboration. I believe that each person’s story is unique and deserves to be heard and understood. I use many effective treatment modalities, such as EMDR, DBT, and CBT to bring lasting change. I consider it a great honor to be able to walk alongside each and every one of my clients.

Hello! I am a counselor licensed in North and South Carolina with over 22 years of experience. I’ve worked with a wide variety of issues including depression, anxiety, family and parenting issues, ADHD, behavioral issues, and more. I determine effective therapy strategies for each unique client, and employ a combination of Cognitive Behavioral, Schema Focused, Narrative, and Brief Solution Focused techniques. My clients tell me they appreciate that I am direct, honest, and hold them accountable, while also being compassionate. I am very practical and teach techniques that can be applied to most all situations in life.

I aim to create a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship while my clients work toward wholeness where they feel wounded. Symptoms of anxiety or depression often usher us into difficult life change that can eventually lead toward improved emotional health. I work from an eclectic theoretical orientation using attachment theory, Internal Family Systems, Narrative-Focused Trauma Care, and faith if clients desire. I utilize Strengths-Based theory with teens, which is an evidence-based approach to suicide prevention. I specialize in teens and work well with high-performing women who struggle with anxiety.

We all develop ways of surviving life's challenges that at the time make sense but may hurt or hold us back in the long run. How we dealt with the past ends up dictating our current relationships, emotional responses, and belief in our ability to change. While insight building is highly valuable, my experience is that most people already know what holds them back or what they wish were different in their lives. I use skills-based and motivational approaches to help clients move beyond insight and into actionable steps for sustained change.
