Therapists in Fairmont, WV

I have experience treating a wide range of different psychological issues, but I have developed a passion for working with children, adolescents, and adults who struggle with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and other anxiety disorders, such as Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, and Phobias.

Change can be difficult, seem impossible, and leave a person feeling overwhelmed, powerless, and destined to stay stuck. I believe that change is achievable, and each person can become the person he/she wants to be in life. The process of change is unique for each person, and it is my goal to empower and encourage each person to identify and harness personal strengths while overcoming problematic thoughts and behaviors. Change is challenging but possible. I would like to help you achieve your change.

Having the desire to alter your life for the better in a way that makes you feel most authentic, comfortable, and safe can be a difficult task to complete alone. Counseling can provide that missing piece that works as a guide to living your most authentic life, to whatever capacity that means for you. I foster a supportive, safe, and encouraging environment to allow my clients to join this journey of achieving their goals for their mental health.

Hello there. My name is Dolly Sullivan, native of Fairmont, WV. I am a Founder, Clinical Social Worker & Consultant at Intentional Wellness and Consulting, LLC. I am most effective working with fellow healthcare providers, life transitions, ages 12 - 85, couples/families, Deaf & hard-of hearing communities, caregivers of family members, grief/loss including miscarriages, foster parents, those who have survived traumatic experiences & those struggling with addiction & their family members. I also do corporate consulting on improving organizational health and culture.

The core of my counseling approach is to provide an environment that is comfortable, judgment free, and prioritizes your mental health. You are the expert in your life, so as a therapist I don’t believe in trying to “fix people”, but rather give them a space to explore the past, present, and future while providing some tools along the way. I feel there is no “one size fits all” in counseling so getting to know you; your interest, your learning style, your strengths, helps me pull from therapeutic theories to best fit your needs and goals. I want to be there to support you in the ups and downs life has to offer.

You’ve had a difficult time finding someone that you can open up to who won't judge, shame, or criticize you. You feel alone in your despair, certain that your friends and family would reject you if they knew who you “really are.” You’re ashamed and confused concerning some of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Your actions are not in line with how you “should be.” No matter how hard you try, you feel like you are never enough. The labels of “hypocrite” and “imposter” echo through your mind.

Now more than ever I see individuals struggling to get through their daily lives, having a hard time being themselves and finding it difficult to connect with others. This may happen over time when living a life that is in conflict with your inner truth(s). You may be struggling to express who you are or what you want. These kinds of struggles, on top of other factors such as anxiety, burn out, compassion fatigue, the stressors of daily living and showing up for loved ones are all just some reasons to consider contacting a therapist.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of WV, able to virtually meet with people across the state and those near by in office, as they choose . I have six years of experiences in many areas of therapy. I want to help others find their path to gain control of their struggles with mental health issues, and empower them by finding the right tools and ways of thought to bring empowerment to their lives. I have found that my strengths as a therapist include crisis management, depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, BPD, trauma, couples counseling and helping those struggling with gender identity and LGBTQ+ issues.

None of my clients are failures or broken because they choose to come to counseling. In fact, I believe everyone grows up learning unspoken rules about what they should and shouldn’t do as a decent human being, when in reality, there’s a lot of rules that simply need to be readjusted. If you're currently struggling with your past, present, or future, let me take some of the burden off your shoulders. I currently am scheduling individual adults, couples, and college students. I especially love to help individuals struggling with relationships issues and folks with low self-esteem/confidence.

I see clients as the expert in their lives and hope to understand their experience to better assist them meet their goals. I have confidence in every person’s capacity for growth and healing when provided with a safe environment, support, and necessary resources. I believe it is my role as a therapist to be a witness to all clients, meeting them where they are while creating a safe warm environment. It is a privilege to be an authentic witness to clients' stories.

I’m Kari Kahl and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor at Thomas Integrative Psychotherapy and with PSIMED, Inc. in Morgantown, WV. As a Trauma-Informed therapist, I am sensitive to the influence of past experiences on present challenges. I work with my clients to revise the narrative of their life and help to heal old wounds in order for clients to heal and move on with a newfound feeling of freedom and sense of relief. I have experience and training in many different techniques and therapeutic approaches which helps me to be multifaceted with treatment plans that are truly individualistic.

My job as a therapist is to help my clients increase awareness of the issues they face and develop tools to address them. The main theories and techniques I use include Internal Family Systems, ACT, CBT and somatic (body based) techniques. During my clinical experience, I’ve worked with folks from a variety of backgrounds and identities, seeking very different things from therapy. I often work well with clients interested in self-reflection, learning new tools and techniques, and who take some ownership of their experience. I treat the symptoms that folks come in with, but I also try to address the root causes of those symptoms.

Stressful and terrifying experiences can leave people feeling isolated. Feeling detached from others and like no one can understand what happens in your mind makes it difficult to interact with people. It’s hard to be hopeful when you are experiencing mental health symptoms like this, but you’re here looking for someone to talk to, and that’s really wonderful. If you’d like, check out my website and see if I’m someone you could chat with. We can set up a time to talk on the phone for a no cost 15 minute consultation so that you can get a feel for who I am.

I work from a person-centered approach to promote an empowering atmosphere for my clients. It is important to me to help clients become aware of their own unique set of strengths that give them the ability to create positive change in their lives and relationships. I am passionate about facilitating growth within clients' marriages, love relationships, parent-child relationships, and any other relationships they wish to strengthen. Rather than focusing strictly on the symptomatic nature of clients' concerns, I take a holistic approach and foster an overall healing of the self.
