Female Therapists in Wilmore, Charlotte, NC

Do you find yourself wanting to live a more authentic, empowered and meaningful life? Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to cultivate the kind of relationships, work and level of health that you desire? I can help you understand and manage anxiety and depression symptoms as well as explore and resolve their root cause. If you're feeling stuck, down or struggling to create the life you desire, I can help you to identify what's not working and find your way back to balance.

Most challenges we face as humans are "normal" as opposed to there being something "wrong" with us. However, we can often feel alone and overwhelmed when facing problems. Talking to a caring person can make a difference. I believe it helps to have an objective, knowledgeable and wise coach to help you find your way. I like to use analogies and work as a team with a client.

Have you lost direction along your path or facing barriers to achieving happiness? Struggling to manage difficult feelings and sometimes just get through the day? I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, certified in Brainspotting, who specializes in working with individuals who are overwhelmed by anxiety and depression often due to daily stressors, complicated relationships, life changes, loss or trauma that has taken root deep within.

Are you new to Charlotte and looking for a therapist? Are you dealing with anxious thoughts, a stressful job, or a difficult life transition? You don't have to face challenging life circumstances alone. My approach is to create an open space where you can discuss your worries, work to discover your inherent self-worth, and develop coping skills that you can use when you feel overwhelmed. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, indecision, or just having difficulty coping with everything on your plate, I am here to help you find the means to thrive!

My passion for helping others through grief and trauma has become a privilege of joining people on their journey to healing. Whether you are struggling with a loss, life transition, anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, or looking to improve your marriage or relationships; my goal is to provide you with an empathetic, trusting and peaceful environment where you can find strength and healing.

I applaud you for taking the first and most important step in reaching out for help, especially during these difficult times. The major focus of my practice is assisting adolescents and adults who have experienced trauma, whether that is a singular episode or prolonged complex trauma. I also work with Depression, Anxiety, Grief, and major life transitions. I meet the client where their current needs are through various treatment modalities and approaches. I have expertise in CBT, DBT, EFT, and TF-CBT. I only provide individual therapy, so please do not contact me for couples/marital counseling.

Life is full of changes and transitions-particularly for children, adolescents, young adults, and their families! It is my hope that I can work with individuals and families to not only grow from their experiences, but to gain helpful insight that will allow them to flourish in the future. I am currently accepting new clients ages three to thirteen years of age, as well as working with parents regarding parenting-related concerns. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, ADHD symptoms, school-related concerns, and clients whose families may be in the midst of a transition in their family system.

Life can become overwhelming and take unexpected turns. I help people through difficult or challenging life transitions, specializing in women who are experiencing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders as well as individuals affected by fertility issues, pregnancy loss, marital strain, parenting, career stress, trauma, and grief. It can be a daunting task to ask for help when challenges arise, but if you do, it can lead you down a path of hope and healing. I will empower you to regain a sense of well being and self-worth, bringing balance and harmony back into your life.

Thank you for visiting my page. The ideal individual I work with is one who identifies that they need help in some area of their life and are willing to work with me to make their lives better. I work with individuals suffering from depression and anxiety; I specialize in working with couples (married or not) and families. Individuals I work with struggle with life's issues (divorce, financial, health, relational) to mood disorders. Typically their goal is to "feel better" or to "fix their relationship". My promise is to work diligently to assist them in achieving their goals using various methods in which to do so.

I help clients recognize that they do not have to be victims of their circumstances or history. Sometimes we are faced with painful circumstances. Sometimes even everyday life begins to feel overwhelming. The unfortunate reality is that we cannot always control what happens in our lives. We can, however, choose how we respond to the difficult things that occur. I believe that all of us have the ability to grow and to make positive, lasting change in our lives. My role as therapist is to help facilitate this process.

When we find ourselves overwhelmed by the circumstances of life, it can be difficult to know where to turn. Many of us have endured experiences that leave us feeling misunderstood or defeated. The pain we experience can lead to an overall sense of disconnectedness from others and from our very selves. There is great power in sharing our stories within an environment of empathy and safety, where we can be curious together about how the past has impacted the present. To feel understood can be the first pathway to healing.

At times, it can be difficult to feel in control, stay motivated, and find fulfillment despite all the pressures from our society and those we develop for ourselves. We arrive at more trying moments at different points in life, and all meet these challenges with unique experiences, beliefs, circumstances, and minds. Many of us are struggling with depression, anxiety, stress, confusion about goals for our future, low self-esteem, body image issues, and relationship difficulties. An effort to deal with one obstacle can lead to developing habits and ways of coping that create new difficulties in another area.

Are you a parent struggling to understand, talk to, or help your teen with mental illness? Are you a teen or young adult who feels lost, lonely, unmotivated, or afraid? I would love to help you find confidence, direction, peace, and the ability to LIVE YOUR LIFE TO THE FULLEST. With 13 years of experience, I have found a strong passion for working with adolescents and young adults. I enjoy helping my clients gain a better understanding of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and how they are connected. I especially enjoy helping teens and parents strengthen their relationship and ability to communicate.

Ellen Adams is currently accepting new clients. Are you a take charge woman? But lately has it been extremely difficult to push through? Is it now taking everything in you just to roll out of bed to face the overwhelming day? Let's face it, everything to fall on your shoulders. Even when you've tried to get others to help shoulder the load, you end up having to clean up the mess.

It is my priority to offer a warm and welcoming space for each and every client to feel validated, challenged and empowered throughout their counseling experience. My approach to therapy is from an integrative and holistic perspective to attend to your unique needs, as every client is different. Utilizing a person-centered and solution-focused approach, I will work with you to explore your symptoms, concerns, values, self-worth, personal strengths and areas for growth to develop a foundation of skills and an individualized plan to achieve your goals in therapy.

Agape Therapeutic Wellness holds a safe space for individuals experiencing grief and loss to freely express themselves without judgment. Grief and loss are incredibly difficult to cope with, and the journey is not linear. Grief and loss can disrupt your life in many ways, and open the door for depression, anxiety, trauma, and stress. Grief and loss applies to so much more than the passing of a loved one. Whether you are grieving the loss of a person, employment, relationship, finances, health concerns or diagnosis, or residential location, you can still live a meaningful and fulfilling life.

We all imagine a life worth living. We hope to get up each and every day with a clear sense of purpose and self-worth. And sometimes, life becomes overwhelming. The day to day tasks of living may feel insurmountable, and we may even consider giving up or running away from it all. We are pulled in so many directions and feel out of the driver’s seat in our own lives. Relationships we once valued seem meaningless and activities that used to bring us joy no longer do. We need to be reminded of who we are and our value to this world. We all want to be heard, understood and validated.

Has life become overwhelming and difficult to navigate due to life’s challenges? Most of us, at some time in our lives, will experience relationship difficulties, conflict, anxiety, depression, trouble with transitions, lack of self-esteem, or other hardships. I would love to work with you in order to help you identify negative patterns and give you the tools, skills, and resources you need to manage your life more effectively. I offer compassion and empathy so that people feel empowered, encouraged, understood, and accepted. If you are ready to make changes, I'm here to help you reach your goals and find your happiness!
