EMDR Therapists in Charlotte, NC

You are the only expert of your own life, but sometimes we need a little help. My perspective is that I'm the GPS and you're the driver- you know where you are isn't where you want to be and I am there to guide you and re-route as needed. I have worked with a wide range of clients with a focus on military members and dependents, life stressors, trauma (combat and otherwise), marital distress, depression, anxiety, and domestic violence. I am LGBT+, kink, and sex work friendly. I believe that it takes courage to come to therapy and you deserve authenticity and a space where you can address your concerns without fear of being judged.

Most people go into relationships with big hopes, a vision of a good future, and the desire to have a fulfilling life. However, somewhere in the process difficulties start to arise, and this hope soon becomes frustration and disappointment. You start to feel discouraged, and might begin to have thoughts of ending the relationship because it is all too much. Whether you are in a new relationship, or you have been together for decades, you are not alone. Every couple experiences a range of difficulties, you might be struggling with communication, constant arguing, or even infidelity. Regardless, I can help you, FREE 15 min consult!

I emphasize the importance of a strong genuine therapeutic relationship, self-care, and self-compassion. I provide a space where clients can feel safe being authentic and vulnerable. I encourage and support each of my clients to utilize introspection to gain insight into their well-being through evaluating and recognizing your strengths, stuck points, and potential blindspots to begin creating lasting change. I am particularly passionate about helping individuals understand how your trauma impacts your physical and cognitive development, relationships with others, and view of self and others.

Hi everyone! I look forward to getting to know you and moving forward on your journey together. I presently work with older teens and adult around various life concerns. I primarily see clients via telehealth though have some flexibility for inpatient clients in NC. My experience includes working with depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, life transitions, relationship struggles, identity, and sexuality. I work with various modalities including EMDR, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, holistic therapy, reality therapy and much more. I am licensed in several states (NC, FL, WV, SC, CO, CA) but am based in NC myself.

Inefficiency, gut-wrenching shame, and rejection have been your constant uninvited companions for as long as you remember. While you have experienced some exhilarating moments of inspiration, passion, creativity, and challenge, they have been few and far between and have often been overshadowed by parents’ and teachers’ damaging put-downs or lack of reinforcement. Now, each piece of feedback from your boss is another arrow straight to the heart.

Has it been hard to maintain healthy relationships? Are you often consumed with worry or sadness? Do past traumas weigh on you and negatively impact your present experiences? I am experienced in supporting adults of all ages struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, and low self-esteem. Many people I have worked with have tried to find ways of coping by numbing feelings with substance abuse, or by avoiding parts of themselves that are hard to face. I am here to support as people work toward healing emotional wounds, deepening self awareness, self compassion, and developing healthy, effective coping skills.

I graduated from UNCC with her MA degree in Mental Health Counseling with a specialty in Addiction Counseling. My therapeutic focus is on a person-centered approach while tailoring therapeutic modalities to assist her clients (adolescents to adults) with a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. In addition I have a basic training EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy) to be able to meet the needs of more clients. When I am not doing therapy I enjoy spending time with my family and two golden retrievers.

I have always wanted to support others in meeting their full potential. To me this means supporting others in seeing themselves as whole and beautifully flawed. When we can acknowledge and love all parts of ourselves we are so much closer to that potential. I often hear from clients that they know what they should do to heal, but find themselves stuck in old patterns. With my training in whole body healing such as EMDR and Brainspotting, we can learn new ways of being. I also provide animal assisted therapy with my co- therapist Koda Bear.

​Psychologist Robert Johnson's words capture my philosophy: "It's not too difficult to get the skeletons out of the closet with people, but to get the gold out is a different matter. That is therapy. Psychology is the Art of finding the gold of the spirit." My approach, rooted in collaboration, respect, and validation, remains consistent across various therapeutic models. If you're seeking a companion on your journey to uncover the "gold of the spirit," I would be honored to walk that path with you.​

It can be scary to be honest with oneself, let alone with others. Yet, most of us still desire to be seen, loved, and accepted. I work with people curious about how their childhood, cultural background(s), identities, and trauma influence how they relate to themselves, family, lovers, friends, and authority figures. My work centers on anti-racism and the lived experiences of folks who are Queer, Transgender, Polyamourous, or Kinky. I enjoy working with people outside of these identities as well. Modalities I utilize are Relationship Analysis, EMDR, Parts Work, Psychodynamic Techniques, and Sex Therapy.

Life can be overwhelming sometimes. Relational concerns, unexpected challenges, new or old traumas, and life transitions can all lead to mental health needs. Often we default to pushing through or feeling like we should be able to tackle these things alone, but nothing could be further from the truth. With support from a knowledgable and caring professional who uses evidence-based approaches, you can start the work of feeling like yourself again, or perhaps feeling better than you've ever felt before.

Every life trauma and struggle can be transformed into strength and beauty. My passion is to work alongside those who are determined to face their pain, fears, and limitations and discover their purpose in life. I specialize in the treatment of trauma, grief, adjustment issues, anxiety, and BPD. Every week, we have a DBT group meeting online. Additionally, I also work with people (artists, and athletes) who wish to develop their performance and creativity.

Life’s events shape us throughout our development. They provide us with our highest highs and lowest lows. Therapy can help us move through those low moments, so we do not become stuck making every new moment feel as though we are experiencing it through quicksand. I have more than 10 years’ experience providing individual, couples, and family therapy to people experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship conflict, family conflict, grief, adjustment to life events, stage of life changes, systemic trauma, and more.

Thank you for taking the first step in seeking help and achieving your best self. My goal is to provide you with a safe and non-judgmental space, guiding you in discovering the very strengths that you already possess. Life presents its challenges and you may be dealing with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship problems, school/employment struggles, parenting issues, or are simply going through life-adjustment difficulties.

I am a very blunt therapist and will always lay out the process and what that looks like for each individual client. The intake can be very boring, as I ask many questions to gain an understanding of how I can help. I then make sure we have a mutual agreement when creating a plan for therapy that includes how we can recognize progress in therapy. I typically do not assign homework as I understand that there is not always time for homework with all of life's demands. I specialize in trauma and couples but have worked with many different diagnoses.

I can't keep living like this. I miss my friends and hobbies. Why can't I find balance? Every day feels like a relentless race. My health is suffering with headaches and sleepless nights. Stress is overwhelming, and time management isn't helping. I have to find a way to break this cycle and reclaim balance. That’s what a lot of my clients are thinking, feeling, and experiencing when they reach out to me. Most of them are between 25 and 60 struggling with anxiety, stress, overwhelm, and wondering what the point of it all is. They’re losing or have lost their connection to what matters most to them. I can help you reconnect.

Stress. Anxiety. Trauma. Challenges like this can make life hard. You're agitated easy, your relationships and work suffer, and as time goes on- health declines. Sleep becomes priceless. As a busy professional, it’s important that you have the tools to feel better and be better. As a psychologist and MBA who's worked in fast paced environments - I get it! During our work together, you will learn tools and skills to manage life. There is no need to suffer. Let's process what's causing the symptoms by getting to the root of the problem. To heal, we use evidence based treatments -including EMDR.

I believe in change; that when a person is dissatisfied, they can make little shifts that can create big impacts. I believe in the power of the individual. My typical clientele are adults struggling with anxiety, trauma symptoms, or depression.

Hi, I'm Tiffany! I am Accepting New Clients. My ideal client's are adults ages 18+ who might struggle with being highly self-critical and negative self-talk, feelings of not fitting in / fear of missing out, if you're processing past experiences that have changed your perspective on life, and/or find yourself often living in chronic survival mode; often due to things outside of your control. As a neurodivergent, queer, BIPOC therapist, I also see clients of many marginalized communities looking to gain support, build confidence, and work on past traumas.
