Clients who are considering scheduling with me are most likely experiencing some type of life transition; whether its coping with the death of someone close to you, caregiver fatigue and burnout, parenthood, women's issues, fertility and family planning, or really any other challenge presented by living in the current times. Depression and anxiety may accompany these challenges, or may pre-date them. Either way, developing coping skills to manage them is imperative. Therapy is a collaborative experience between the client and the clinician. Your goals, are my goals.

I don’t believe in a one size fits all approach. Purpose and meaning, and how we get there, is different for everyone. I enjoy working with women ages 30-65. During this tumultuous time women are coming into their power and may be experiencing relational issue challenges, sleep disruptions, and symptoms of perio-menopause/menopause. I am an eclectic therapist, using best practice, evidence-based interventions (CBT, DBT, solution-focused therapy), spiritual connection, and experiential art therapy. The underpinning of my approach is authentic person centered, existential and conversational talk therapy.

There are times throughout life when we all need some extra support or guidance.

Whatever your reason for reaching out may be, I enjoy helping people regain control in life, find inner peace, and emerge stronger and better equipped to face all of life’s challenges.

Typically, I see client's ranging from ages 10-30.

As an EMDR therapist, I feel great passion for helping clients recover from adverse or traumatic experiences and walking alongside them as they begin to see the world through a new lens. Trauma and other mental health struggles greatly affect our important relationships - and our relationships impact our mental health. Helping clients build healthy relationships is central to my therapeutic approach. Together, we'll foster self-understanding and self-compassion, uproot negative or limiting patterns that no longer serve you, and work collaboratively to discover your most authentic 'you.' We'll find ways to infuse a little humor, too!

Crossing waters is an excellent metaphor for the path that lies ahead in life's difficult situations. Desired destinations, unexpected storms, and unknown territory. Progress is possible and the land on the other side can hold great promise of new life, however, the journey is rarely easy and frequently comes at the cost of the familiar. It involves a willingness to work, a degree of risk, and trust in the process. My aim is to provide a safe place for the struggle inherent in change and growth. I will help you gain your bearings as we clarify where you are in your journey and develop a working plan for reaching the other side.

Are you finding yourself stuck in the same cyclical patterns of unhealed wounds and behaviors that are affecting your overall mental health and wellbeing? Do you find yourself repeating the same actions that have caused unnecessary pain and suffering in your life? Do you often feel alone and struggle with intrusive thoughts or overwhelming emotions? At times, we may feel lost in our own individual journeys, however, therapy can be a tremendous segue into personal healing. I believe in treating the root of the symptom while supporting my clients through their emotional processes geared toward growth and resolution. You are not alone.

When we opened the doors to Arise, the intention was to establish a practice that could offer the Wilmington community help with life's challenges from a team of highly-skilled and educated therapists. Educated in a range of modern health philosophies and experienced in the treatment of a range of mental health concerns, individuals will receive the help they need from a professional team of women with extensive mental health training and education.

Have you been through some tough things in your past that have stuck with you for years or even decades, no matter how hard you've tried to let them go? Do you catch yourself often being anxious, on guard or having a difficult time trusting others? This is your body's response to trauma, and it makes it so hard to just live life. Using EMDR to reprocess those traumatic memories can make a significant difference in your ability to heal and move on. Self-compassion, humor, and acceptance are important aspects of our work together, and you will often hear me say, "Give yourself a break." Let's connect to get started on this journey:)

We will respond to inquiries in 24-48 hours. Hi! I'm Chasity, it's nice to meet you. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist. Not feeling yourself, so let's talk… I believe everyone has the ability to heal no matter the amount of trauma you've endured. I feel like anyone can benefit from the therapeutic process when you are willing to put the work in. Let’s start today. I believe everyone can make some positive lifestyle changes, while achieving life goals, and learning to find, and love yourself again. Therapy has the ability to change lives, I see it everyday.

I enjoy working with a diverse population of people. I have had a lot of success working with individuals and couples with substance use issues and addictions as well as those with process addictions such as sex/pornography, gambling, etc. Many times, these addictions are rooted in trauma of some kind. Many times, they will manifest in mood disorders, anxiety, depression, and other pervasive disorders. I want the opportunity to help you navigate through those and beat them. We all know that life is difficult but it doesn't have to be this way everyday. Let's get started on finding who we are together and living life again.
