Positive Psychology Therapists in Burlington, NC

Taking the first step to seek mental health treatment with the social stigma and stereotypes around the world can be challenging in it's itself. Stigma and stereotypes can cause people to not seek help for fear of the unknown and being judged by others. I offer an open safe supportive environment for clients to discuss their issues with out judgment. My goal is to have an open dialogue with clients about their goals and outcomes in treatment. I tailor therapy to the client's needs and strengths perspective to empower change. I am willing to invest the time and energy to helping my clients meet their needs.

On the outside, it appears you have a great life, but deep down, something is missing. You may feel anxious, guilty, overwhelmed, resentful, exhausted, or empty. You often do not think you're "good enough." Despite your achievements, you expected life to be more fulfilling. You're not living the life you dreamed of and need help figuring out where to begin. You can make a change starting today. You deserve to live a fulfilled and authentic life. We help people like you discover self-care strategies, slow down and reconnect with themselves,

When it comes to counseling one of the most courageous actions one may take is moving forward towards growth, healing, and acceptance of one's life challenges. I believe that therapy is where one may be able to flourish and create a new path towards achieving life goals. Whether the struggles are currently present or have occurred in the past it is the current movement and strength that will ultimately create a new chapter towards positivity and growth. If given the opportunity to work with you as your counselor I believe that you are the expert in your life. I am here to provide the support you may need within your journey.

There's a quote by Dr. Russell Barkley that says, "The kids who need the most love will ask for it in the most unloving ways." Because I'm a mother of 5 that has 11 years of experience with adoption issues, I know this to be true. Developmental trauma has a huge impact on children, whether it is a result of inconsistent early caregiving (adoption/foster/difficult home life), a difficult pregnancy or delivery, early hospitalization, abuse, or neglect. These are the kids that desperately need to feel loved and secure, but will act out in many ways to test their caregivers' resolve.

Are you experiencing feelings of anxiety, low mood, or would like someone to process your feelings with? Reaching out and asking for help can be difficult. I want to make that first step easier for you by providing nonjudgmental listening and support in a safe environment. Therapy should be an avenue for you to explore your strengths and learn more about yourself. You are the expert in your own life and I will collaborate with you to seek tools and strategies to cope. I believe in empowering those I work with to express their goals for treatment and explore how I can best support that individual as their therapist.

Part of being human means facing stressful and frightening situations. Most of the time we can tolerate and cope with these. Other times our problems become unmanageable. Situations, problems, relationships, work, school and other life experiences produce thoughts, feelings and unhelpful behaviors that become so overwhelming we begin to believe that we will "never" find a way to get through it. If your feelings and thoughts seem too big for you to manage at this time then I would be honored to join you and assist you to find new strategies and information that will help you cope more effectively now and in the future.

Are you depressed, lonely, anxious, overwhelmed or just need someone to listen to you? I am here to help. With a listening ear and techniques to help you better navigate the world around you, we can work towards empowering you to live fully. We can work to develop coping skills that help you lead a fulfilling life.

Welcome ! I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Therapist, Licensed School Counselor and co-owner of Reclaim Counseling and Wellness. Before establishing Reclaim Counseling and Wellness, my background included work in school-based counseling and private practice.

Something feels off. Something in life just is not working. You feel defeated. Despite numerous successes or reasons you feel you should be happy, you are overcome with sadness, guilt, and shame. You find yourself uncomfortable in your own skin, leading you to avoid everyday life, or overindulging in drugs or alcohol to cope. You feel trapped, and unsure how to fix it. When you make the decision to seek help, it can be an intimidating and overwhelming step to take. As a therapist, I strive to create a space that is safe for clients to be themselves and realize their personal vision for change.

Therapy can often feel like unfamiliar territory even when we know we need help. I provide a calm, safe, judgment-free zone. I meet the client where they are. I believe that what we think and feel can affect our everyday lives. In addition to that, our physical and spiritual wellbeing can also affect our mental health. Whether this is your first time in therapy or you’re familiar with the process, I’m here to take that leap of faith with you!

Does your brain get stuck sometimes? Perhaps it’s an idea, thought, image that you just can’t get out of your head. It may drive you to think certain things or do certain things to help get the uncomfortable or even scary feelings to go away. You may fear that you may one day hurt someone else or yourself, against your will and outside of your control. Perhaps you feel locked into doing things over and over again - whether it’s touching an item, pulling your hair or some other repetitive behavior that you can’t just get out of. If that’s you - then Anna Slaydon with Greater Hope Counseling Inc PC can help.

Do you find yourself struggling in your day-to-day life, whether it be with anxiety, depression, interpersonal issues, or other life stressors? Are you looking for someone who will provide empathy and non-judgement to help you process these difficulties and collaborate with you on creating tools for change? I would love the opportunity to work with you! As a therapist I strive to work with you to discover your strengths, develop and maintain effective coping strategies and skills to facilitate change, and provide support for the difficulties you may be going through.

Danielle's mission in life is Order, Service & Accountability. The ideal partner (client) for her counseling, coaching or consulting services range from adults struggling in their family and/or social relationships to couples deciding to commit or to sever ties. These adults may have underlying social/emotional areas of growth (illnesses) hindering their progress in personal or professional goals.

Every person I serve has a unique story. While some clients experience challenges in just one area, most experience difficulty multiple areas (mental health, trauma, loss, addiction), creating a complex, vicious cycle if not all parts are addressed. The circumstances that bring someone to therapy do not come in 'neat little packages.' I enjoy sorting out the pieces with each client, getting to the root of the issue, and offering a combination of evidence-based therapeutic interventions that help clients finally begin to experience relief, and start living a happier, more fulfilled life.

I understand that it can be very difficult to take steps towards positive change or to seek support when facing challenges in your life. Therefore, a goal when working with a new client is to create a comfortable environment. I strive to get to know you and to understand what you want from our work. I believe that each person's needs will be different, so I draw from a wide range of techniques to tailor our sessions to your specific goals. These tools can help you understand life patterns, improve relationships and accomplish your personal or professional goals.

We are currently in very stressful times. In our work together, you will be preparing to navigate through difficult challenges. We will build up your resilience. Resilience allows us to accept the difficulty of the situation and bolsters our belief that we can grow into the people we need to be to meet the challenge. Whether you're a young adult headed for autonomy, a parent supporting a young person's growth, a couple embarking on a life together or needing to remember "why" you're a couple, or an individual ready to "rethink, re-orient, and re-evaluate", this is your opportunity to prepare for the journey.
