Therapists in Charlotte, NC
I combine multiple approaches in therapy depending upon my client's need, including CBT, ACT, psychodynamic therapy, and strengths-based therapy.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck in a rut, lost, or hopeless, I can help you find a path to feeling like a happier version of yourself again. I help clients feel at-ease enough to be themselves by approaching therapy with a non-judgmental, genuine, and relational approach. I work primarily with pre-teen girls, teenage girls, and young women, as well as members of the LGBTQIA population. I also specialize in psychological testing for individuals age 6 and older, including testing for ADHD, autism, and general questions of finding the right diagnosis and treatment.

Acceptance and Commitment (ACT) Therapists
How does acceptance and commitment therapy work?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages a person to listen to their self-talk. A person’s inner dialog can be indicative of how they treat themselves. ACT also encourages self-compassion; this can lead to a better understanding of negative thought patterns and emotional states. This understanding can then lead the individual to needed behavior change.
What are the goals of acceptance and commitment therapy?
The goal of acceptance and commitment is to expand a person’s psychological flexibility, a trait that encourages an individual to live in the present moment and to accept all their thoughts, feelings, and emotions, even ones that are difficult such as sadness and anxiety. In ACT, this acceptance is congruent with the individual’s values and beliefs.
Does acceptance and commitment therapy work for depression?
Acceptance and commitment therapy is effective for depression because it allows the individual to view their discomfort and suffering differently. Depressive feelings about relationship heartaches, for example, are a part of life. A despondent person learns to let go of their struggles and instead view their painful thoughts and feelings with compassion. This will lead the individual toward positive change.
How long are people typically in acceptance and commitment therapy?
A typical acceptance and commitment therapy session is 50 minutes long with one session per week. Treatment for common problems such as anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties can last between eight weeks to four months. However, more severe cases may require more than one session a week and/or a longer time frame for treatment.
