Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Therapists in Charlotte, NC

It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey. Now that you have taken the first big step in this process I would love to help you continue moving forward. If it is struggling with anxiety from the moment you wake up until the second you are finally able to fall asleep or feeling stuck in a relationship that you once thought gave you everything you wanted. Life can throw some difficult challenges at you and it can be so easy to get lost in survival mode just trying to get through the day.

Maybe you're questioning yourself, your decisions, or your relationships. Or you're struggling to figure out what's next. You are not alone. I work with teens, adults, and couples from various backgrounds with similar experiences. When working with me, they appreciate someone who's understanding and genuinely supports them through challenging times. My counseling style is holistic, relaxed, and tailored to each person's needs. Through a variety of techniques, I am able to support individuals, couples, and families.

Counseling can be a scary process. And sometimes the process of change is so uncomfortable, it's easier to ignore it or avoid it. That just makes you human! Whether you have been experiencing unwanted thoughts, mood swings, major changes, or maybe you aren't finding the same joy in things that you typically love- therapy provides a time for you to set goals for your future or maybe provide meaning and offer peace about the past. I have a passion for working with adolescents, young adults, and adults as you navigate the challenges in developing your identity, nourishing relationships, and adjusting to life transitions.

I have learned that I am not for everyone and everyone is not for me. I am a whole vibe professionally speaking. Therapy is a journey one in which the client is in the drivers seat and the therapist is in the passenger seat, shotgun! The client that wants to get to the root of the pain, hurt, awkwardness, craziness, sadness, the list goes on is a great match with Ms. Tam. The client that also pulls from hope, spirit, experience, the unknown is a match with me. Its helpful for the client to remain open throughout at least 3-6 sessions after the assessment in order to fully rate symptom change.

Meet Tinkerbell, my 5 lb. Maltese and Hunter, my 115 lb. German Shepherd. I grew up on a farm and animals are incredibly important to me. They teach us so much about ourselves and have the capacity to unconditionally love us and at times, they can really challenge us. That's what therapy is all about - unconditional positive regard and pushing us to be our best selves. I work with females; teens to adulthood and their families. Anxiety, depression, trauma, self-harm behaviors, relational issues, and emotional challenges are among my specialties. I love helping those find their purpose, path, and inspiration!

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has served within the field for 7 years. I am looking to support and guide those struggling with anxiety, depression and life transitions as this world can offer some tough moments for anyone.

I offer counseling for PTSD, childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD and relationship difficulties. If you struggle with PTSD because of the past traumas, I will gently help you decrease distress by processing and making sense of traumatic events and equipping you to respond rather than react in triggering situations. If you need counseling for anxiety and depression, we will work on skills to regulate your emotions, bring your anxiety to a healthy level, and help you experience joy, purpose and connection with others. If you seek counseling for OCD, I can help you tolerate uncertainty and fears to improve your quality of life.

Being a teen is tough! Juggling the demands of school, extracurriculars, friends, and family all while figuring out who you are and how you fit into the world can leave you feeling exhausted, confused, and burned out. If you are feeling this way, know that you are not alone and what you are going through is not forever.

I am not afraid of hearing the hard truths that you don't share with others. I find it an honor and a privilege to come along side someone who trusts me enough to share their life, the good and the bad. I have supported people who have experienced things that they believe others think to be unreal, people who believe there is no reason to keep living, people who partake in activities they know are not good for them, people who struggle to have healthy relationships, and people that have been living in darkness. I want to help you break away from that darkness. I want to provide a space that fosters security, hope, and healing.

Sick and tired of feeling stuck, alone, and overwhelmed in life but unsure where to turn? Life can be hard, fast moving and demanding, unfair even. It can leave you feeling broken. And when you’re left to pick up the pieces on your own, it only leads to more exhaustion and loneliness. It doesn’t have to be that way. I’m here to help. My office is a safe space to sit with your thoughts and emotions, feel heard & find healing. I love helping clients discover answers to the questions and concerns that keep them up at night as well as solutions and strategies that work for them.
