Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Asheville, NC

Do you want to change something in your life that isn't working for you? Perhaps you've been struggling with anxiety or depression, a relationship that isn't fulfilling, or a lack of purpose for your life. You may have gotten help before but found that it didn't last, or merely removed the symptoms. I will help you get relief by working to resolve your problem at its root cause.

Let’s partner together on a journey of self-understanding and liberation. With a warm and empathetic approach, I try to create an environment in which you feel safe, nurtured, and free to express yourself. Life experiences can leave us feeling defeated, broken, and searching for meaning. Trauma-informed care and a person-centered approach are important to me. I am experienced in treating PTSD, depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. I utilize an eclectic blend of evidence-based practices to help understand and appreciate how our life experiences have shaped our reality.

I love helping people who are struggling with managing the fullness of life to find peace and calm. Perhaps you never have enough time for the things you love or your relationships are not as fulfilling as you would like. Let's dig in and find out how to get you the life you want.

Life is a funny thing. And often terribly complicated. During our journey in this world, we often face challenges that can feel too big or ongoing. Whether it’s with chronic feelings of anxiousness, depression, emptiness, issues about sexual orientation, gender, or ethnicity, relationship conflict, sleep disturbances, substance misuse, school or work issues, or any combination of those, many of us struggle silently. But you don't have to. It can help to work with a therapist with a deep understanding of what it’s like with some of those struggles and who is passionate about helping others learn to thrive despite these adversities.

I am committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental space for my clients. I see my role as helping people identify self-limiting beliefs, emotional blocks and other barriers that keep them from leading lives consistent with their authentic selves and their values. I combine theoretical and psychological insights with more pragmatic skills training (relaxation, conflict-resolution, communication skills). I have an active, direct counseling style that combines genuine empathic listening with therapeutic challenges.

I focus on helping you reach your highest and truest potential through inner healing. My therapeutic approach is holistic, recognizing the interconnectedness of mental, emotional, and existential well-being. I draw from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Existential-Humanistic approaches. Through compassionate collaboration, we work together to develop strategies for managing symptoms, fostering resilience, and achieving a more fulfilling life.

My therapy approach is warm, compassionate, and collaborative. In an open and caring environment, an individual's ability to change self-defeating patterns of thoughts and behaviors, increase self-esteem, recognize strengths, and develop healthy relationships is enhanced.

Kyrie is particularly passionate about working with the neurodivergent because she is one! She works with adolescents, young adults, and adults, who have been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Anxiety Disorders. Kyrie honors the client and his/her/ their experience, while using their strengths to help the client live a more holistic life that is congruent to the values they hold.

I feel passionate about serving those who have experienced trauma, particularly attachment-based trauma. Above all, stable and consistent connection for someone with an attachment-based trauma can make all the difference in the world. I believe there is great power in holding a space for someone to feel heard and understood, as many folks do not have that safe space with anyone in their life. I also have experience working with folks with substance use challenges. I find that substances can often be what someone turns to when they don’t have the tools and support they need to manage the challenges they are facing.

I enjoy working with adults, teens, families and with various anxiety related concerns affecting their ability to enjoy life. I have experience with various forms of anxiety including OCD, obsessive thoughts, skin and hair picking, panic attacks and perfectionism. I provide groups on topics such as OCD, anxiety and MBSR. I am trained as a Ketamine Assisted Therapy provider.

You do not have to do this alone. Whatever “this” is, I’m here, let’s figure the solution out together. My name is Natasha Harvey and I am a licensed clinical social worker and licensed substance abuse counselor with over 13 years of experience. I have worked in a vast variety of settings and service levels. I believe most people have the answers to their ailments, they just need a little support in finding them. I utilize many therapeutic modalities such as, but not limited to, perinatal focused support and treatment, CBT, DBT, EMDR, and ACT. I’d love the opportunity to support you on your journey of healing and self-discovery.

Life comes with challenges, stressors and big emotions that can feel unmanageable. Therapy can provide support and empowerment for you to overcome these life challenges. As a clinical social worker, I have experience working with ages ranging from toddler to adult, LGBTQ+ and substance use. I believe in a person centered, strength-based approach with focus on modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness, and emotional regulation.

Do you want to discover not only how to help yourself for the here and now but build a foundation that can sustain you for a future? The goal is to help you learn how to help yourself by providing you tools and coping skills while processing the impact that life and others may have had on you. Do you struggle with feeling empty, unfulfilled, and lost? Maybe you are using substances to mask or cope with the emotional pain. Maybe shame, guilt, or grief is holding you back from feeling like yourself. Maybe life just feels too difficult or not worth it?

As a trained couples' and family therapist, I use a systemic approach with my clients which emphasizes the development and maintenance of healthy relationships and communication. Evidence-based practices such as cognitive-behavioral/solution focused therapies are examples of the theoretical orientations from which I work. I believe wholeheartedly that change comes from a blend of internal and external factors with a team approach between the therapist and client(s). My philosophy is not to "fix" people, but rather serve as a partner to support my clients toward defining and reaching their expressed personal values and goals.

I am a clinical psychologist and BCBA-D and have worked for 19+ years with people seeking new ways of interacting, coping with grief and pain, better managing stress, expressing their individuality and creativity, and living more authentically. The therapeutic relationship is central to my work; I strive to be a reliable, compassionate, and informed partner. I believe an alliance based on trust, built over time, is essential to healing. My approach is creative, compassionate and practical. I see patients exclusively through Telehealth.

Life oftentimes can be stressful, sometimes can be surprising - but life is rarely simple. At times, we find ourselves wrestling with anxiety that makes life feel impossible. Perhaps feelings of depression have made finding happiness difficult. We also can be overloaded with stress, feel stuck, or notice changes we would like to make in order to thrive. I believe that you know yourself best, and hope to recognize your own personal wisdom that may guide you to your best self.

Has it been hard to maintain healthy relationships? Are you often consumed with worry or sadness? Do past traumas weigh on you and negatively impact your present experiences? I am experienced in supporting adults of all ages struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, and low self esteem. Many of the people I have worked with have tried to find ways of coping by numbing feelings with substance abuse, or by avoiding parts of themselves that are hard to face. I am here to support as people work toward healing emotional wounds, deepening self awareness and developing healthy and effective coping skills.

Are you feeling alone, anxious or depressed? Unsatisfied with your career, have chronic pain or illness? Relationship stress, extended family issues? My clients tell me I'm warm, easy to talk to, and down to earth. I use a variety of treatment approaches: psychodynamic and relational, combined with CBT, EFT, and EMDR. EMDR can help almost any problem resolve more quickly because it allows the brain to make changes on a deeper level than just talking. We still talk plenty though, before, during and after EMDR. My clients find telehealth to be helpful and convenient. I see regular clients occasionally at my home office.

It’s not necessary to be in crisis to seek counseling, but it’s often the push that we need to go deeper. Something wakes us from our auto pilot existence and we feel a hunger for self-examination. Whatever made you take this next step, I believe I can help. I know this can feel overwhelming...but its just another part of the journey. A search for your authentic self or for a balanced, healthy space to challenge yourself to grow and be more. You can be changed by this experience. You will find answers and more questions... But nothing changes & no discoveries are made without beginning...Read more at www.createamindfullife.com
