Sex Therapists in Apex, NC

“You are perfect the way you are and you can always grow and do better” This statement is central to my approach and the kind of space I create for my clients. Life can be challenging, overwhelming, and stressful, but self-acceptance and self-love free us to build the skills we need to cope with relationships, family, work, and life. This journey is not easy. It requires self-reflection, awareness, exploration of thoughts and feelings, and a willingness to change. As a therapist, I believe that our mental health, sex life, and relationships are all interconnected and approach therapy from a holistic perspective.

Are you overwhelmed with your emotions? Do you find yourself with anxiety and not knowing how to cope or improve your anxiety? This is something I can help you with. Whether you’re an adult who has struggled for years or a teenager who is just starting to struggle. My hope is to help you understand what you are feeling, express that emotion and then learn the skills to help you cope. By learning the skills to help cope with negative emotions you will hopefully decrease your anxiety and start feeling better.

I specialize in anxiety disorders, mindfulness, trauma, PTSD, codependency, adult children of alcoholic issues, life coaching and addiction recovery with clients just like you throughout Raleigh and Wake County.

I enjoy working with anyone who desires to maximize their strengths and overcome weaknesses. A desire to change and improve life, together with a willingness to work are the only requirements for good therapy. Change is possible for everyone and I enjoy enhancing and utilizing the natural strengths of people as they address growth issues. While understanding from where you have come in family and individual background, together we will develop goals that address the issues you desire to change. I work with individuals, couples and families to assist with any issues of concern.

It’s not that therapy isn’t for everybody. You just haven’t found the right therapist. Navigating life can be heavy all by itself…but when you’re not getting the support you need, it can feel heavier. You don’t have to walk through life struggling to figure it out alone. Being that person may have worked for you in the past, but it’s no longer serving you, and I think you’re beginning to understand. I'm here to support you as you navigate beyond that.

By integrating a strengths-based approach to counseling, I focus on clients ingrained power and how they can use personal attributes to live a life that this authentic to their own self-imposed values.

My passion is to help women & those in the LGBTQIA+ community reclaim their identities, find their voices, and learn how to harness their inner power in an uplifting and therapeutic manner. All are welcome here!

My approach to working with any client(s) is to offer a space to share their story in a way that is authentic, honest and individualized. Through this sharing, we collaborate to find reliable pathways to change that mirror the clients values and beliefs.

There are many reasons people seek counseling, but regardless of the reasons, I believe that enhanced awareness and acceptance are pivotal to understanding how personal histories have shaped the way we perceive ourselves, others, and the environment in which we function. Therapy provides the opportunity for growth, self-discovery, and insight in an emotionally supportive environment. Each client is unique in their strengths and struggles which is why therapeutic approaches are individually tailored for an optimally successful experience.

If you are feeling resistant, frustrated, or uncertain about what next steps to take to feel better, then I can help you get started in an experienced, judge-free, comfortable setting. If anger, anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, traumatic events, oppositional children, interpersonal conflicts, workplace issues, or bullying is getting in your way of happiness, I can guide you to overcome these challenges. I also help people who are satisfied with their current situation but would like to enhance skills and live at their fullest potential. I look forward to you contacting me at www.meaningfultransformation.com/mike
