Strength-Based Therapists in Concord, NC
Does this sound familiar to you? "I'm so overwhelmed. I'm too busy to even take a breath. It's so hard to stay patient and calm because I have too much in my head." So often our lives are crowded, overfull and overwhelming, and in turn block us from being able to find fulfillment. The weight of stress hangs on all kinds of people: kids, adolescents, teens, young adults, couples, families, and the list goes on. How many times do we say yes when we really mean no? Or even say no but terrorize ourselves about it? How about losing sleep to anxious thoughts, neverending to do lists, or replaying old situations and conversations?

If you woke up tomorrow and it was YOUR perfect life, what would it look like? As you're imagining this, what are the differences between this imagined life and the one you're currently living? You may feel stuck, unfulfilled, or alone even, with lingering questions that may leave you feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and lost. Life has an interesting way of putting us in places and spaces that both challenge and change us in ways unimaginable, seemingly out of our control. Let's move you from being a spectator to a participant in your life story by getting uncomfortable, facing fears, and taking space to grow and heal.

I work from a strength-based, culturally sensitive, trauma-informed perspective and my primary approach to therapy is an integration of person-centered, mindfulness-based, and cognitive behavioral therapies.
Welcome to Soul Wellness Services! As a Black Caribbean woman, I'm aware of the social and cultural stigma often associated with mental health in our community. Issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and loss can be challenging to deal with. For Black and Indigenous People of Color, these issues are often compounded by the stress and emotional exhaustion of code-switching, racial trauma, racism, discrimination, and other challenges specific to our community.

Hi all and congratulations on taking the courageous step toward healing. I am a dedicated trauma therapist with a specialized focus on attachment wounds, complex relational trauma, and processing family dynamics across the lifespan. My person-centered approach allows us to delve into deep-seated patterns that often underpin trauma responses and impact self-worth and the ability to maintain healthy relationships. I believe that trauma and life stressors affect both the brain and body. For deep healing to occur, we must first connect with ourselves, develop positive coping skills, and attune to our nervous system.

I work from a collaborative, non-judgmental and empathetic perspective. We may all live in the same world, but our unique individual experiences shape who we are and how we approach events in our lives. In the counseling process, I strive to create a supportive, trusting and safe therapeutic relationship through which difficult thoughts and feelings related to a person's struggles can be explored, understood, and improved. My goal is to help people gain more acceptance, happiness, peace, or content in life.

For women with ADHD, life can be overwhelming leading to feelings of anxiety, depression, and burnout. You may feel like you are constantly struggling to keep up or “be perfect” and worry about meeting your responsibilities at work and home. You may have tried for years to describe the challenges you face because of living with ADHD and feel defeated because others do not seem to understand or take your concerns seriously. With the right support, women with ADHD can feel empowered and in control of their lives. You can finally feel safe letting others see the "real you" and stop hiding parts of yourself.

It is normal after something terrible happens to need help! After what happened, you might be having nightmares, thoughts about what happened coming to your mind even when you don't want it to, or feeling like you are back at the time when the bad thing happened even when you're not there. It could also be that it happened a long time ago and you were able to deal with it for awhile but you have reached a point where that is not working anymore for you or maybe your child. These things are hard and it is brave to take that next step to work on it in therapy.

Navigating traumatic experiences, challenging distorted thoughts, and adopting healthier habits can feel overwhelming. Issues such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and interpersonal conflicts often prevent people from living their fullest lives. I believe in the importance of creating a safe space where clients can explore their negative thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Working alongside my clients, I provide tools and strategies to help them become the best versions of themselves. I believe that, although healing is difficult, it is entirely possible, and everyone has the capacity for positive change and growth.

Strength-Based Therapists
How does strength-based therapy work?
During strength-based therapy sessions, the therapist will ask about an individual’s experiences of stress, pain, or trauma with the goal of orienting the client to view themselves as a survivor rather than a victim, and focusing on their strengths rather than on their weaknesses. In framing a client’s personal narrative along these lines, the therapist and client work together to identify existing skills that can be harnessed.
Is strength-based therapy evidence-based?
Strength-based therapy is an evidence-based treatment that has been studied extensively and shown to be effective across domains. The treatment has been found to be particularly effective in helping individuals who are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns. Strength-based therapy has been used by therapists to help clients for more than 60 years.
How long does strength-based therapy last?
There’s no precise timeline for strength-based therapy. The duration of treatment depends on the individual’s specific needs and goals and the severity of their concerns. Some individuals may find they achieve their therapeutic goals quickly, while others might benefit from ongoing support and guidance in order to continue progressing.
How effective is strength-based therapy?
Clinical research and decades of practice have shown strength-based therapy to be an effective treatment to improve mental health and well-being for many conditions. The treatment can engender a sense of connection and collaboration between the therapist and the individual, fostering a positive therapeutic relationship. For individuals with narcissistic tendencies, strength-based therapy may be less effective, as the focus on the individual’s strengths may undermine the work needed to honestly assess the challenges the individual faces.
