Therapists in Alamance County, NC

Are you looking to strengthen and improve your relationships? I believe that the quality of our relationships directly impacts the quality of our lives. My goal as a therapist is to help my clients increase their awareness of themselves and their relationships while providing skills to help them improve areas of their life.

I am currently accepting new clients. I'm so glad you are here! I provide a compassionate, safe and non-judgmental space to talk about life’s challenges. I love working with children, teens, college students and families to help provide support and direction. I am passionate about helping people connect in healthy ways, healing wounds that prevent us from living a life that is fulfilling. Often childhood trauma or dysfunctional family systems can cause so much pain, that we struggle to even love ourselves, but there is hope and these wounds can be healed.

We are licensed in Utah, Oregon, Maine, Minnesota, Florida, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina and Colorado. We currently offer telehealth and virtual therapeutic services. We work with individuals with a wide range of concerns including depression, mood disorders, family relations issues, substance use disorders, and co-occurring disorders. We combine different therapeutic approaches based on client's presenting concerns, goals, and motivation, such as, cognitive-behavioral, brief therapy, mindfulness, client-centered, solution-focused therapy.

I’m Sam, and I’m a relationship therapist. I believe healthy relationships are an essential pathway to individual and collective healing. In our work together, we will identify some of your core relationship patterns and find their origins, often stemming from your childhood. I’ll help you become more aware of your individual thoughts, feelings, and underlying motives in your relationship so that you can learn to understand and take responsibility for the impacts of your behaviors on each other. Ultimately, I hope to help you find ways to care for each other that feel nourishing, consensual, and interdependent.

Welcome. I am a psychotherapist with over 30 years of experience in helping people of all ages, nationalities, races, gender expressions and sexual identities. My clients find me easy to talk to and my style is warm, non-judgmental and relational. I have a particular expertise in helping couples with issues such as infidelity, arguments, lack of communication and connection and dwindling sexual expression. For this work I draw on Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy by Susan Johnson see "Hold Me Tight: Seven Conversations for a Lifetime of Love." I also use the work of the Gottman Institute, Harville Hendrix and Stan Tatkin.

Physical and emotional intimacy play an integral role in how we connect with ourselves and others. Sometimes, challenges arise in these areas and you can find yourself feeling stuck or without a solution. Perhaps you’ve noticed that you and your partner aren’t as connected as you once were. Maybe, you’ve experienced changes in your sexual desire, sexual functioning, or sexual values. Or aspects of your history or identity including faith, trauma, gender identity, sexual orientation, or culture, may have impacted how you understand and experience sex and relationships and you wish to explore this further.

I am currently accepting clients for premarital counseling.> I am a clinical social worker, addiction specialist and a certified supervisor. I support healing by fostering healthy relationship. I found that clients that value a psychobiological approach (relations between mind and body) tend to be drawn to me. I work both with individuals and couples. I support my clients through transitions and change. My work with clients revolves around supporting them to prioritize their needs, as well as to identify coping mechanisms and resources available to them. I do not accept insurance for couples work, but I do for individual.

Anxiety, Relationships, neurodivergence or just looking for answers?…Since 2012, my passion has been therapy/counseling, second only to being a father to my amazing kids. I have amassed extensive experiences and training along that way. As a result, I can match each client with tools and philosophy that get them closer to where they are trying to go. My approach to all things centers on finding solutions in life, and my sessions are no different. From day one, I seek solutions while being present with those who allow me to be a part of their journey.

As a Licensed Therapist in both Arizona and North Carolina, I provide residents of both states the convenience of telehealth services from the comfort and privacy of your own home. I have over twenty years of experience working with individuals and couples struggling with destructive relationship patterns, post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, sexual and intimacy disruptions (such as infidelity, sexual addiction, past sexual abuse, etc), trauma and abuse, domestic violence, depression, and grief.

Emotions and relationships are hard. But, why? Your brain wants you to protect yourself/selves from "threats" in ways that cause problems and suffering for you or your relationship. Your self-protection is always running in the background. I help you feel better by helping you understand your protection and how to overcome it. You work to be more in touch with your desires and needs; while lowering worry and stress. I'm an individual and couples therapist who knows how to guide you toward new patterns of relating. I welcome all races, sexual orientations and expression, and religions in my practice.
