Bisexual Therapists in Greensboro, NC

Grab a cozy blanket, and we can chat about finding your way together. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in North Carolina with Irenic Therapy, PLLC. Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, but I'm here to chat and see if I might be a good fit for you. I'm honored to be considered on your journey, and I'm here to offer my expertise. Like peeling back an onion, let's uncover your layers together! My therapy space welcomes vulnerability while fostering support. Sharing your life stories, experiences, and feelings in a safe, judgment-free space is central to my approach.

Are you a human being with feelings? Do those feelings sometimes get really big and make it feel like things are out of control? All of us go through this during our lifetime. Maybe you go to the grocery store and it’s so people-y that you feel like you’re going to have a panic attack because you’re still not quite used to being around so many people at once. Or maybe you are struggling with grief and you don’t know how to live without the person you lost. Maybe you don’t enjoy things anymore and the people you love keep asking you what’s wrong and you don’t know how to answer them.

Should I stay or should I go? A huge question that's weighed on you. It keeps you up at night, stressing you out. Life would be so much easier if your relationship wasn't so hard. You wish you could communicate better; feel understood. But, damn, your shit and their shit get in the way. Not to mention the pressures of career, aging parents, or demanding children. It all gets thrown in the mix, leaving you exhausted, distracted, and disenchanted by the status quo. You want things to change (better sex, intimacy, connection); you're finally ready to take charge of your life in a new and meaningful way. You've come to the right place!

I love working with the non-conformists, artists, dreamers, and beautiful weirdos of the world! You might be in a non-traditional relationship (queer, poly, kinky) and wanting to find a therapist who fully accepts your identity - that's me! You might be unlearning the messages of diet culture - that's me, too! We may be a good fit if you've ever asked yourself: How can I be stronger, more confident, and more of a badass? Why the hell can't my family accept me as I am? How can I break my pattern of getting into toxic relationships? How can I build trust and love with my own body?

As your therapist, I aim to provide a judgement-free space where you can unpack your thoughts, gain clarity, and take steps towards the life you desire. My expertise in relationship issues, trauma recovery, and LGBTQ+ experiences helps clients process painful events, build resilience, and move forward with self-compassion. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, identity issues, trauma, or just need a listening ear during a life transition, I would be honored to walk alongside you on your journey towards growth and fulfillment.

Thanks for taking a look at my page! I'm a queer, trans, and neurodivergent counselor in Greensboro and Winston-Salem, NC. I'm passionate about helping others develop new skills, find self-acceptance, and engage in a process of personal transformation. Whatever you are bringing to the table, I am here to be with you in your experience and help you along the way. Through authentic, healing relationships, I believe that we can begin to let go of barriers that keep us distant from others and our sources of meaning in life.

Life is exhausting for anxious trauma survivors. Even when you bust your ass to stabilize your life, you spend hours worrying about and planning for an uncertain future. Despite leaving home and finding your people, you still get stuck in painful memories from the past. You expect life to be hard, because, for you, it has been. You long for more ease, connection, and joy. At the very least, you want to sleep better, to take breaks from your responsibilities, and to feel a little better about your body. You’re tired of struggling through your day. You dream of a life that doesn't need constant fixing—a life that lets you truly rest.

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.

Asking for help and seeking treatment is hard! You're longing to feel more understood, less isolated, and more at home in your body. You're ready to enjoy more of your life and worry less. You don't want to compare yourself to others any longer. People have told you to "shake it off," "get over it," "you shouldn't feel this way." You're tired of being told how you should feel and that it's not okay TO feel, to begin with. There is enough space for ALL of your feelings and experience here; all parts of you are welcome.

Somewhere along the way you started feeling like a zombie. You are physically and emotionally exhausted. You're feeling burned out, overwhelmed, disconnected and on edge. Hopelessness is sinking in or has already sunken in. You're calling out to work or skipping classes. You are terrified that you can't handle life's demands or the needs of those who count on you. Your family and relationships are suffering. The words "self-care" elicits both a laugh and a sinking feeling in your stomach, but also, you know that at some point something has to give. You are tired of feeling guilty for having your own needs. It is time.

As a clinical social worker, I am passionate about aiding clients in the healing and empowerment process. Whether it is difficulties with life's transitions or ongoing issues related to mood disorders, I take a holistic, intersectional approach with all of my clients in order to find the intervention(s) that best suit their individual needs and strengths. In particular, I focus on being an accepting and affirming environment for LGBTQi+ individuals. In general, my ultimate goal in treatment is to provide anyone and everyone a safe, stable environment where healing can occur.

Are you experiencing issues with anxiety, setting boundaries, or having trouble being assertive in your daily life? Has social anxiety or people pleasing affected your self confidence? Maybe you're looking for ways to end unhealthy patterns in your dating life and establish healthy, long-lasting relationships. Building social skills when so much of our interactions are online, making new friends as an adult, or creating work-life balance can be confusing, challenging experiences. I want to help you strengthen your self-esteem, reduce stress, build assertiveness, and create the social life you want on your terms.

“No” is not in your vocabulary. You pride yourself on being the most helpful, the best son/daughter/mother/father/community member. You were raised in a religious/spiritual tradition that discouraged expressing your needs. Maybe you overcommit yourself, and you've been overwhelmed by everything going on in life. You’ve always felt “different” from everyone around you and don’t quite know where you fit in. You want to better understand yourself and communicate with others. Perhaps you are part of the LGBTQ+ community and have struggled to find affirming therapists. Perhaps you are looking for someone neurodiversity-affirming.

Life can be hard. Counseling can help. My goal for therapy is to create a space where you may rediscover hope and engage in the hard work of reshaping and reclaiming your life. I most often take a Psychodynamic approach however, I utilize techniques from Cognitive-Behavioral, Gestalt, Solution-Focused, Narrative and Rogerian theories. I believe that counseling is a unique relationship, constructed within a supportive, warm, and safe environment. You are the author of your own life story and the expert of YOU ... so we'll work together to determine what you want that life story to be.

Hiya! I am Dr. Ashley N. Nash; thank you for your visit. The mantra that I mirror in my personal and professional life is to "be the person that I needed when I was younger." As a trauma survivor turned trauma therapist, I enjoy working with teens, young adults, and adults in individual and small-group settings. At any stage of our lives, we can begin to question our identities and how they fit into the rest of the world while remaining true to ourselves. I believe that change is one of the only constant things in the world, and I have a desire to assist others during their changing seasons.

At my office, I hope to make sure all feel welcome. I want my clients to know that I hear you and I see you; your pain matters. Brutality at the hands of others is hard to process, but I hope we can go on that journey together. I specialize in trauma recovery, but also treat a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and more severe disorders. I work with my client to find what therapy methods work best for her/him/them, as we are all different individuals with different needs.

I'm so glad you're here! If you're looking for a therapist that means that you're considering a change in your life. Something isn't working the way you want it to; whether that's interpersonal relationships, work, school, or just the way you feel about yourself. If you're ready to work on finding balance and making some changes, then I would love to hear from you.

Do you feel stuck? Are you wanting more from life? You have inside of you all the potential you need. Life is a struggle, and we all have our hard moments, but we don't have to stay in our hard moments. It's my job to listen well, and bring my experiences to help teach you skills to move into a new life. If you can change your behavior, you can change your life, and my goal is to teach you easy skills to make that dream your reality. The best part of therapy is finding your "ah ha" moment, where you see the true potential for your own life, the skills needed to make that dream your reality, and the difference a little work can make.

Now accepting new clients! Let's face it; if you've ended up on this page you've probably searched for and scrolled through dozens of therapists' profiles searching for someone who may be able to help you. Life is life'ing and you may be feeling stuck, frustrated and just about ready to give up on the search. Maybe you've searched "therapists near me" and have just been inundated with so many options that now you're even more overwhelmed. Take a second, take a deep breath, relax your shoulders, and pause for a minute.
