Positive Psychology Therapists in Carrboro, NC

I am a licensed professional counselor practicing in Orange County, North Carolina. I have extensive experience assisting families and couples with marital discord, behavioral issues, communication breakdowns, and parent-child conflict. My goal is to empower each one of my client's by creating a non-judgmental therapeutic environment that respects their dignity and self-worth. Please access my website where you can find my availability and choose a time that is convenient for you (steven-clemens.clientsecure.me).

My love is helping people learn to navigate the terrain of the body and to find the wisdom and freedom of feeling and ‘sensing’ as ways of knowing and healing. This domain is difficult to navigate alone - We live in a time when our nervous systems are deeply taxed and carry significant trauma, and in which the cultural resources for healing have been repressed or lost under the weight of systems of oppression. I want to help you find your way back to a sense of wholeness by listening to your innate wisdom. Please note- I only accept clients who have some form of contemplative practice because it creates a foundation for our work!

As an expressive arts therapist, I promote the healing power of the arts and am dedicated to helping my clients discover their strengths and healing potential. I love being able to walk with people on their healing journies, guiding them through transitions and periods of growth. I have worked with a variety of people including children with physical illness, at-risk adolescents, adults with mental illness, seniors both with and without dementia, refugees and immigrants and as a supervisor for art therapists seeking art therapy registration. I have worked in schools, hospitals, retirement centers and mental health agencies.

MOTIVATE Counseling & Coaching, a mental health & personal improvement practice, helps you get where you want to be. We often view growth & learning positively but stress & discomfort negatively. The reality is they are inherently connected. You are the expert of your life & no one is better able to determine what is best for you than you. Whether past traumas, current stressors, future worries, inability to follow through, or reluctance to take that “next step”…MOTIVATE will help process & develop a healthier understanding of what has occurred in your life, clarify what you want, understand barriers & overcome them.

I whole-heartedly believe that you are the expert on you! I hold the framework in our work together that you contain the inner wisdom around what you need for healing and growth. My role is to help you identify, strengthen, and listen to that inner guidance. At times this inner-knowing can become muted or distorted.

Loneliness is the worst. Isolation shows up in many forms, including shame, stress, mistrust, and unproductive conflict. People grow and heal in the context of secure relationships, and I aim to help clients create and sustain them. It's my pleasure to work with couples, partnerships and individuals who are experiencing distress, coping with trauma, or struggling with identity development.

I support parents who are feeling overwhelmed, tired, and frustrated by their children's behavior. My clients feel like they have tried everything - read books, listened to podcasts, and still they are shocked by their child's, tween's, or teen's behaviors. At their wit's end, my clients find that they default to yelling, taking devices, play dates, and outings away from their child in an effort for their child to behave. Some of my clients are in therapy and their therapist has encouraged them to seek out parenting support.

Whether you're going through a difficult time at this moment or if you've been feeling this way for awhile, I can offer support and positive coping mechanisms for the stressors you're experiencing. I empower clients to have the capability to use self-compassion and combat damaging thinking and behavioral patterns using evidence-based therapeutic modalities. Every client is unique and I like to employ an individualized, emotionally-centered approach that implements humor, support, and warmth. 

Does life feel challenging right now? Are you going through a life transition, feeling stuck, or are you an exhausted mom? I'd love to meet you and learn more about you. Everyone deserves to have a safe time and space for personal exploration, release, support, and growth. Together we can create that space in our therapy sessions. We will collaborate through a process of guided discovery, look at both the struggles and strengths you bring, and set attainable goals. I believe every person can find a path to greater meaning, connection, and contentment. I will bring warmth, empathy, and authenticity to our work. I am here to help!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NC. I collaborate with clients to develop creative solutions to problems and shift difficult emotions. I work with people from different backgrounds and with a variety of life experiences. I believe people are creative, unique and resilient and what we often require is the space and opportunity to explore and reflect upon what we already know. I work with adults and adolescents with anxiety, depression, mood disorders, self-esteem issues, grief, family conflict, struggles with independence/dependency, changes in living situation, chronic health issues.

Some people seek counseling for emotional issues such as anxiety and depression associated with problems in work, school or family life. Other people enter counseling to help them heal and cope with traumatic events that have taken place in their lives. Counseling works by giving you clarity, support and the courage to move forward in your life.
