The mass of men (and women) lead lives of quiet desperation (Henry David Thoreau). But do we have to? As children we are often not allowed to make important decisions about our life and some suffer attachment issues and other forms of trauma that are outside of our control. Therapy is an active choice we can make as adults. It provides a sacred place where you can feel safe to ask yourself the most important questions: who am I? what do I want? who and what do I love? how do I want to spend my precious life? Change is not easy. Growth and learning is a life long process. It is never too late to become your authentic self.

Hello! I have over 25 years of experience & specialize in anxiety, trauma, chronic stress, self-regulation and recovery. I value in depth assessment which informs our process. Unlike some types of supportive counseling, I offer education about how life experiences are hardwired into our brains & how this impacts all aspects of life and our relationships. I also focus on teaching skills to transform anxiety and stress into resilience, calm, and increased joy. To do that, I use mindfulness, somatic/body-based skills, psychedelic & ketamine - assisted psychotherapy, RRT, and nature-based connection.

Cue the anti depressant commercial with the cartoon figure, the tiny rain cloud, and the narration 'feeling sad, lost, lonely, trouble sleeping, anxious, etc etc?' ..But for real, life can be a real ass kicker sometimes. Or maybe it's been so long, you can't remember the last time you weren't feeling overwhelmed or empty. Either way, whatever your struggles, you don't have to do it alone. And I'm glad you're looking for someone to help you.

After 30 years of clinical experience with individuals and couples, I believe the process of psychotherapy strengthens relationships with the self and others, enhancing both insight and opportunities for growth. I bring an open mind, respect and practicality to the therapeutic relationship. I am currently offering treatment using teletherapy and in-person sessions. I am an out of network provider but am committed to helping you to receive reimbursement by your insurance and to adjusting the fee if necessary.

Sometimes it feels like no matter what we do or how hard we try, we are treading water just to keep our head above the surface. We get stuck in patterns of behaving, thinking, relating, and coping that no longer serve us. We feel hopelessness, shame, fear, and self-doubt, keeping us from the things we need most- connection, vulnerability, and meaning. In this place, it is hard to see a way out and we feel helpless to make a change. We lose sight of who we are, what we value, and what brings us joy and contentment. My goal is to help you get “unstuck” so that you can engage more fully in your life.

Not all therapists are alike and choosing one can be a challenge. Therapists practice in all sorts of ways and use all sorts of methods. I offer talk therapy. It’s just like it sounds. You talk and I listen to you. Essentially, our objective is to study your mind. On your own terms and at your own pace, you offer the study material. I am interested to know what makes you who you are. Hopefully you are interested in that too and if so, we are already on the same wavelength.

I've been practicing therapy for over 30 years. Perhaps more importantly, I have a family of my own. I have been married for 30 years. I have 3 daughters, a dog and two cats. I think kids are wonderful and my favorite people in the world! I work with individuals of all ages, and couples including marital, engaged and long-term relationships. I especially like doing family therapy, addressing parenting issues and individual work with children; in-depth work with individual adults, focusing on healing and recovery from such debilitating experiences as abuse, chronic depression, anxiety, and identity/self-esteem issues.

I have come to believe people want relief more than they want insight. Insight can be a byproduct of a nervous system that has room to think. More often than not, when I help people slow down, come in contact with their positive and negative emotions, this is more effective than working hard to explain your feelings away. The best I can do for you is to help you feel comfortable exploring all of your emotional depths. With that knowledge, you’ll feel comfortable taking on new challenges. The idea is to get you away from chronic activation. Moving out of the cycle of constant stress and moving into the cycle of feeling at ease.

I have been an LCSW for over 25 years, and have enjoyed working with children, adolescents, families and individuals. I am mainly focusing on adult/young adult individual work currently, and I enjoy watching clients heal and transform their lives. I tend to work with clients who struggle with Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Trauma, Life transitions, and relationship issues. My style as a therapist is more of a therapist/coach. That being said, I listen well, and only "coach" when the client is ready. I strive to look at the whole client and all of their parts, and meet them there, and then help them to get to where they want to be.

In this life we sometimes experience depression, anxiety, and other emotional issues, or distress in our relationships. These experiences can lead us to feel alone, unfulfilled, dissatisfied, and or spiritually disconnected. Working with a seasoned psychotherapist can help you gain insights and healthy coping skills for resolving these issues.

Are you living with depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, lack of direction, trauma? I believe that we naturally feel a call to live meaningful, loving lives and know intuitively that this is our best path but we often will feel stuck, unsure, fearful and so take no action. Existential therapy calls this a restricted existence and believes the goal of all therapy is to remove the road blocks that are limiting you from moving toward living your best life.

Getting started can be overwhelming. My goal is to help you feel as comfortable as possible so we can go at your pace. I specialize in working with clients with anxiety, ADHD, and trauma. Many of my clients have tried to cope with their situations by pushing their feelings away or using addictive behaviors to numb them. My job is to help people listen to and manage their emotions without feeling overwhelmed or ruled by them. Being personally recovery from alcohol helps me understand and empathize with what you’re going through because I’ve probably been there too.

Like many therapists, I’m equipped with the tools to help others largely because of my own suffering. I was lost, looking for guidance, and tried many forms of therapy, finding most to be superficial. I felt like I was offered band-aids for the bleeding when I wanted to cauterize the wound. I didn’t want coping skills for my depression, I wanted to know why I was depressed so that I could DO something about it. I wanted real change. I finally got what I asked for, and my life turned upside-down when I discovered Jungian therapy.

Hi I'm Alison Cross! I am a psychotherapist, and I provide both in person and virtual services in Georgia and North Carolina. It’s important to have an idea of what feels like the right fit when you’re looking for a qualified person to talk to. The problem is, how do you know? So here's what it looks like with me. When my client leaves our session, my goal is for them to feel heard and respected. I want my clients to feel like they’re talking to a real person. How else can trust be built? My style has been described as 'down to earth, gentle, and encouraging.' I also have a great sense of humor that comes in only when appropriate.

All humans are equipped with the capacity for healing and transformation. I believe that everyone deserves the chance to undergo this process of change. Everyone deserves to create a life that is worth living and is full of meaning. Unfortunately, we are often left feeing disconnected, detached, depressed, or anxious. As a clinician, I am passionate about helping change these patterns. It is a gift to be with people as they find deeper meaning and a more fulfilling life. I love going deep with people so that we may find the roots of your problem and create the change that leads to a truer, more vital version of yourself.

It's difficult, if not impossible, to really thrive in life when you are suffering.

Those who commit to this process discover that, over time, their suffering is more manageable than they thought, and that living a more fulfilling life is well within their grasp.

Momentous work can be done with the right balance of challenge and heart to achieve insight and actionable forward-focused planning for my clients. I take an active and challenging therapeutic approach; melding traditional psychological approaches, life coaching modalities, and trauma work to tap into the small and large ways significant events and patterns may be holding clients back. Most of my clients come to me to fine tune areas of their life and are highly motivated to do the work, making the subtle and not so subtle shifts they've been craving.

We are bio-psycho-social beings, and an imbalance in one area affects the others. Therapy is a process that can enable you to identify what is making you struggle in your relationships, in your physical body and with your mental health. It can help you find unique ways to make the changes that will empower you to become more resilient and capable of coping with difficult situations, as part of an ongoing learning experience. I believe that each person is a singular and unique human being. With that mindset, I understand my clients own idiosyncratic style, and unique ways of perceiving and managing conflicts.
