You want to feel confident and joyful, but you're facing difficulties with anxiety or past trauma. Maybe you’ve found yourself exhausted by the overthinking and self-doubt. Maybe you’ve experienced something painful in your past and feel “stuck” or maybe you’ve tried therapy before but it didn’t lead to long-term change. You used to feel confident and joyful but have recently been doubting yourself. I'm here to help you move from feeling "stuck" to achieve lasting change. Together, we can pave the way towards a more confident and joyful future.

I believe that human connection is the most powerful force in our lives, and that it can be the source of much of our strength as well as much of our pain. The quality of the psychotherapeutic relationship forms the foundation for all growth and healing done within this context. The simple addition of a new, invested relationship to one's life can help provide room to move forward. Once this foundation is in place, amazing progress can be made, whether this is conceptualized as a return to a more fulfilling moment in life, or as more fully achieving one's potential.

"Strive for progress not perfection." My goal, as a therapist, is to provide a safe environment where people can move forward from places where they feel stuck. It is important to me that you find your time in therapy as supportive and rewarding.

I whole-heartedly welcome all parts of you into our work together. I move beyond working with just your thoughts and embrace you as a whole-person, which includes your emotions, body sensations, relationships, and even spirit. As a result, I offer an integrated approach that includes body-centered, creative, cognitive, and contemplative techniques. By slowing down and deepening insight you can identify limiting patterns, develop greater acceptance, access inner knowing, and make self-directed change.

We often feel lost, stuck, and helpless when we struggle to find solutions to our everyday problems. At this point, our problems can become obstacles blocking us from living the best days of our lives. However, psychotherapy can help us overcome these obstacles by teaching us how to cope better with our emotions and thoughts, gain insight into our problems, make impactful changes, communicate effectively, find solutions, and stop engaging in self-sabotaging behaviors.

As a Therapist, I believe that central to our success is a safe, supportive therapeutic relationship. I prioritize creating a safe relational space for my clients so that we can identify areas of strength and areas of growth. I specialize in Mood Disorders such as anxiety and depression, Eating Disorders, life transitions, Gender and Sexuality, and social/relational issues. I am a Certified EMDR Practitioner with extensive training and experience in supporting LGBTQIA+ adolescents and adults through transitions and mental health distress.

As a depth therapy practice, we are committed to overcoming the discontent that is the source of fractured selves, families, and communities. Awareness of and compassion for one's own self and for others requires the growth of emotional intelligence. Therapists at CPFS have experienced in our own journeys how the difficult work of self-confrontation can lead to greater resilience, humility, love, and industry. We work to build strong voices, accepting homes, and caring communities.

I offer tailor made counseling services, including traditional & psychedelic therapy as well as coaching, to those experiencing life's difficulties. My compassionate and non-judgmental approach is predicated on offering helpful direction towards specific, realistic, client determined goals. I am very comfortable working with individuals or couples of all ages, veterans and business executives. My approaches based on individual client expectations and needs. Each approach is customized and personal. Phone and video and sessions are available for added convenience. I offer a Christian worldview approach upon request.

Professionally, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My specialties include issues of abuse/trauma, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, grief and spiritual issues involving women, adolescents, families, and individuals. I also have a heart for integrating faith in the counseling process, working with clients in crisis, and seeing clients understand their true identities and thrive in their current life situations. My goal, through counseling is to provide a safe environment for individuals, allowing them to identify with themselves and reach maximum potential through changing their thoughts and behaviors. My work experience includes time at Carolina Outreach, providing assessments and counseling.

Hello, Namaste, Salaam! I'm so glad you're here. My name is Shanti and I'm a compassionate and culturally attuned therapist-in-training. With a commitment to fostering racial, cultural and social equity within the therapeutic process, I offer a  holistic approach to supporting you on your healing journey.

Sometimes in life we need someone to come along side us and walk with us for a while on our journey. I would describe myself as a sojourner. I provide a positive, nonjudgmental environment to see individuals as they work on addressing challenges they are facing. I work with teens and adults to address issues including depression, anxiety, infertility, life transitions, grief and loss along with parenting related stressors. Some of my speciality areas include: Postpartum issues, maternal mental health and EMDR. I also provide help to other professionals to address secondary trauma, compassion fatigue and "burn out".

I love to help clients identify and break harmful patterns of behavior and work towards a healthier, more sustainable, balance that improves their lives. My style is compassionate, yet direct and transparent. I see problematic behaviors as coping mechanisms for underlying stressors/emotional experiences that need processing. I have extensive experience working with clients with eating disorders and addictions. As a former HS teacher, I enjoy working with young adults. I believe that relationships heal. In every case, I consider clients' contexts, which have great impact on their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Mindfulness practice is built-in to my approach.

Taking the first step for therapy should not be minimized. We will work together from start to finish, to uncover the best version of yourself. The foundation of my work is client-centered and trauma-focused, which concentrates on establishing trust and respect in order for change to occur. I have experience working with individuals who have endured trauma and as a result struggle with anxiety, depression, PTSD, eating disorders, and other mental health concerns. I also have a passion for working with individuals from the LGBTQ community and struggle with the unfortunate anxieties of marginalization.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, it is an honor and privilege to walk alongside others. Through my counseling, I purpose to empower individuals to chose the path that leads to healing, wholeness, hope and renewal.

My approach to psychotherapy is that of a humanist; that is, successful therapy results in your continued evolution into your true self. My therapeutic style is gentle and engaged, and I respect your intelligence. I strive to provide an atmosphere of care and compassion which allows you to curiously explore what events, past and present are contributing to your challenges. It's important to me to take the time to understand your values and desires so that our work is grounded in how you see yourself.

My goal with each session is for us to work through your needs, for you to leave feeling good, and that you can take action in your life. I help people experiencing relationship issues, trauma, divorce, major life transitions, depression, anxiety, low self-confidence, OCD, and disability. Through life experience and a passion for understanding how the mind works and human behavior, I am an effective therapist because I can help you identify unnoticed behavior patterns, facilitate behavior change, and offer new perspectives.

Finding the right help in times of stress, conflict, fear, and emptiness is important, even if it is difficult. Choosing a counselor is about finding someone you feel confident can understand you where you are, and that you trust to help find the path forward. The people I serve value my openness, compassion, curiosity, insight and calm. If you are struggling with trauma, stress, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, or feeling worthless, then I would like to help you find the pathways to healing that best work for you.
