Therapists in Clyde, NC

Stress, anxiety, uncertainty, and fear can feel overwhelming. You may find yourself turning to drugs or alcohol, harmful eating patterns, self-harm, or fall back on other old habits to cope with your emotions. You may be struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, or fear. Maybe you are in recovery from addiction or an eating disorder, and are having trouble maintaining your progress. You may be navigating your gender and sexual identify. Or perhaps you are concerned that your teenager is dealing with some of these issues. Whatever you are facing, you are not alone! I am here to provide support, guidance, and encouragement.

I began my journey in 2011 when I made the most significant change in my daily life and then made the decision to help others struggling with the multifaceted disease of addiction. I truly believe addiction isn't your issue, it's just the only way you know how to deal with the real problem. I'm here to help guide you from where you are, to where you want to be. We will begin by creating a safe space together, where you can begin to trust the process and together we will identify what you would like to achieve. Being a human can sometimes be difficult, but it's not impossible. I'd be honored to help you along your journey.

We are bio-psycho-social beings, and an imbalance in one area affects the others. Therapy is a process that can enable you to identify what is making you struggle in your relationships, in your physical body and with your mental health. It can help you find unique ways to make the changes that will empower you to become more resilient and capable of coping with difficult situations, as part of an ongoing learning experience. I believe that each person is a singular and unique human being. With that mindset, I understand my clients own idiosyncratic style, and unique ways of perceiving and managing conflicts.

My specialty areas include Trauma Resolution, Anxiety and Depression management, and ADHD. I take pride in helping individuals find solutions to difficulties they encounter to live happy healthy lives. My therapeutic style is empathetic and warm while focused on building on clients' strengths to help them heal from the past and find solutions for the future. My overall goal in therapy is to help clients acknowledge their problems and then focus on positive solutions that allow them to feel better and do better.

Hello. We find ourselves struggling with many things as we navigate our way through this life. While some days, years, or lives can be worse than others, finding our way to hope can give us the strength and support to get through these times. As a clinician, I am dedicated to helping clients gain this resilience and support. I am open to working with various clients and challenges in search of hope and ways through these difficulties and hardships. I focus on strengths and solutions within your reach and how to access your internal and external resources/supports on the path toward healing.

Perhaps right now you feel empty, dissapointed in yourself, detached or just plain sad. Maybe it is that you have made some bad decisions that brought you down a path you never imagined for yourself. Maybe your mood feels out of control, you can not stop crying or perhaps it is the opposite and you are feeling on top of the world and you do not know why. I have been there and I want to use my experiences to help. Because I approach client goals with a team mentality you will be in the drivers seat from day one.

People often think psychotherapy is only for crises. However research shows that therapy is one of the best investments you can make for life satisfaction and growth. In addition to therapy are other modalities that support healing and growth. Some of these holistic wellness tools include exercise, mindfulness, tai chi and yoga. I have a rich background in the application of mindfulness to promote healing and growth, and have experience integrating tools such as Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, DBT, CBT, Hypnosis and EMDR. I also find authenticity and humor essential for healing and use both liberally.

Live your best life by developing tools to cope with issues, situations, and relationships in your life that cause stress, distress, or chaos. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have worked with clients struggling with substance use, mental health diagnoses (e.g., Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar, co-occurring disorders), trauma, and general life issues. I offer a caring, non-judgmental, positive approach, using evidence-based treatment techniques.

Do any of these words stand out to you? Anxiety, overwhelm, stress, drained, pressure to perform, executive, perfectionist, identity, transition, exploration, instability OR addiction. Maybe you are a “go getter” in your career or school. Maybe you are seeking clarity about identity or you're in a place of transition. Are you losing sight of who you are from your work or from societal norms? People can place so much demand on themselves to excel or fit into a box within society that someone can ignore their own wellness. Let’s find YOU, whether you feel like you have lost who you are or feel like you have never truly found yourself.

Wholeness leads to healing. I guide my clients to accept all parts of themselves and find balance in their lives. I entered the field of counseling with a passion for treating trauma (big T and little t trauma). Along the way I gathered some exceptional tools for doing so, including EMDR and a somatic approach to psychotherapy. Not so far removed from trauma, I have also developed a specialty in treating addiction of all kinds. I have seen the power of emotional healing to transform people's lives in ways they always wanted but didn't know how. I am here to help whenever the client is ready to do that brave and powerful work.

Waitlist for new clients. Ready to find your direction? I offer action-based interventions to apply outside of sessions partnered with a compassionate, insight-oriented approach. I believe when working with clients, it's not only beneficial to identify unhelpful patterns of behavior, but to determine underlying causes of these patterns in order to enact lasting change. Whether these patterns relate to mental health, substance use, relationships, or other factors, I work with individuals to build on their resiliency & strengths to facilitate movement towards their personal goals. I embrace a holistic approach towards your wellness.

I am a trauma-informed, integrative, EMDR therapist. I use ego states and parts work in conjunction with somatic work to help bring ‘online’ the left and right hemispheres of your brain. I am focused on treating the whole person and would like to have an open, honest conversation about what you are looking for and your treatment wants and needs.

Life is full, complicated, amazing and sometimes we get a curve ball thrown our way. Though each of us possess the tools and wisdom of healing, it is during those curve balls that we need someone to point out our strength and resilience. As a counselor, I am that someone with a bag of tools to help. You decide where we go, what you want out of counseling, and choose what tools you will use. Those times may come from parenting, substance use, hurting those we love, burn out, anxiety, transition, the world around us, not being able to be who we fully are, and questioning life.

Do you feel like emotions control you instead of you controlling them? Has being perceived been exhausting? Feel like life feels heavier than it's supposed to? I'm here to support you. It's okay to feel like you need to be heard, have someone to talk things through with, celebrate the little wins in life, and hold you accountable to the goals you want to succeed in. Life can be unpredictable, things don't go as planned, or it feels like our brain is fighting against us, but I'm glad you're here. My work is focused on being neuroaffirmative, LGBTQIA+ affirmative, trauma-informed, and culturally competent for all.

I strive to assist distressed individuals in regulating emotions, improving mood, cultivating positive thinking, changing unproductive behaviors, and in creating wellness, life satisfaction, and self-acceptance. By exploring and identifying unique, personal thinking patterns, challenges, needs, and strengths we work in therapy to promote the meaning in life, responsibility, and the pursuit of genuineness and the best in self, life and relationships. My approach is compassionate, backed by extensive training and I have over 30 years of experience in education, community service, and psychotherapy with children, students, adults, couples, families, and groups.

Do you want to discover not only how to help yourself for the here and now but build a foundation that can sustain you for a future? The goal is to help you learn how to help yourself by providing you tools and coping skills while processing the impact that life and others may have had on you. Do you struggle with feeling empty, unfulfilled, and lost? Maybe you are using substances to mask or cope with the emotional pain. Maybe shame, guilt, or grief is holding you back from feeling like yourself. Maybe life just feels too difficult or not worth it?

Practicing in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Florida and Colorado, I work with adolescents and adults seeking a way towards brave and engaged living, working through challenges that get in the way. My belief is that at our core we are fearless, clear, and compassionate. In therapy we work together to identify what is blocking you from that core, and set about clearing the way for your authentic self to emerge. I have worked over 30 years in mental health, 25+ years as a licensed clinician. I also bring experience of training and supporting clinicians, most recently as the CEO of a wilderness therapy program.

Are you struggling to navigate each day, weighed down by exhaustion, persistent low mood, excessive worry, or a state of hypervigilance? Have you battled anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use challenges, or struggled with your self-esteem? I want to assure you that you're not alone in your journey. I firmly believe that one of life's most courageous acts is to embark on a path of self-discovery, to gain insight into your personal journey, and to open the door to healing and growth. A central theme running through the modalities I utilize is mindfulness, self-compassion, and heightened awareness of both the body and emotions
