Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Fayetteville, NC

I utilize an all-encompassing approach to therapy that is somatic, and mindfulness informed. I believe that therapy is a collaboration between the client and the therapist. I want to create an environment that is safe, nurturing, that is open and authentic; where the client can be seen with unconditional positive regard and receptiveness. An even better way to look at it is that while working with a client I understand that they are doing the best they can with the tools they have. By having this mindset, it allows for you to express openly your feelings, beliefs and behaviors.

It is my pleasure to work with adolescents, adults, couples, veterans, and active-duty military, as well as with groups. I enjoy collaborating with people of diverse racial, spiritual, and cultural backgrounds who have experienced trauma either in childhood, adulthood, or through the military service and who are seeking a safe place to overcome life’s adversities, learn a new way to function, and live a victorious life. I work with issues related to ADHD, anger, anxiety, drug/alcohol use, panic, PTSD, personal growth, racial identity, self-esteem, sexual assault, stress, stressor-related disorders, and career development.

Hello! It's great to meet you! My name is Kristin Hammond, and I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 23 years of clinical experience working with adults, couples, and some adolescence. I work with many issues, including anxiety, health anxiety, panic, depression, life stressors, family dysfunction, relationship issues, self-esteem, and other emotional and behavioral issues. I mainly draw from Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Holistic, Mindfulness-Based (MBCT), Solution Focused Brief (SFBT), and Supportive therapies. I believe one of the biggest keys to success in treatment is having a connection with your therapist.

Do you ever feel like you're the only one who is overwhelmed by it all and struggling to function in your life? Do you have things that have happened in your life that you can't get past to live the life you want for yourself? The good news, is you're not actually the only one, and the better news is that, in most cases, therapy can help. I'm a pretty practical person, so I value simple, real-world ways to manage the things going on in your life.

Life presents challenges both large and small. Either can be difficult to navigate. In addition, many of us find that it can also be difficult to open up and trust that a listener is engaged and willing to help. As a therapist I maintain a non-judgmental approach in my work with clients, to connect and help you see that many of your answers lie within. I actively listen in order to be present with you and to create a safe space for you to discuss and explore whatever it is that brings you to therapy.

I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate complex traumas, substance misuse, and other life challenges. I support clients across various diagnoses using psychodynamic, humanistic, and behavioral approaches. I believe in a collaborative process to help clients achieve their goals, and I am passionate about maintaining ethical standards in all my work. As a bilingual therapist with a military background, I embrace the diversity of our roots and the shared journey toward a fulfilling life despite the challenges we encounter.

DON’T WAIT, NOW IS THE TIME! Sometimes it’s difficult to share your life with others and talk about your struggles; however, talking through hard times can be one of the most empowering first steps you can make toward healing. Whatever your hardship is, help with an ongoing issue or time for a difficult transition, it would be my pleasure to work with you to develop an individualized plan and address your trepidations. I value your thoughts and self-determination and will gladly give an ear to support you when needed.

As a clinician, I enjoy working with clients as young as 4 years old and those well into adulthood. I strongly believe that clients are the experts on themselves; my job is to partner with clients to better understand their needs and help guide them in building skills to help them manage their day-to-day stressors and challenges. I am often sought out to help clients with behavioral and emotional needs, process grief, and address childhood and/or complex trauma.

I know life can become difficult at times and it may seem like all hope is lost. You constantly worry, struggle to catch your breath, and have many sleepless nights. Imagine you woke up one morning and determined enough is enough. You ask yourself, what are my options? How do I address this problem? Are there alternatives? We all come to places where we see and experience the challenges of everyday life. No one is exempted. I encourage each person to know that they have the power to direct their own lives and come to that place of fulfillment, self-determination, and healing.

Space available in ongoing ZOOM therapy GROUP! Only accepting previous clients for individual therapy. As a seasoned counseling psychologist, I have found that you "can't heal what you don't feel" and that most emotional difficulties stem from difficult experiences and relationships earlier in life. Helping you understand how your past experiences result in current struggles is a pivotal part of the help I offer. Additionally, I will provide you with tools such as mindfulness, and coping strategies, and emotional awareness exercises. The foundation for our work is a compassionate and nonjudgmental therapeutic partnership.

Discovering our truth can be difficult and a challenge. At times, we just need some additional support to help us get through daily challenges. Take a moment and think about what you can do to take more control of your situation. By reading this and thinking about what you can do; you have already taken the first step in discovering your truth and starting your journey of healing. My experience as a therapist includes providing services to a diverse population, from children to adults with a range of diagnoses. I have a background in working with individuals who have challenges with trauma, depression, anxiety, anger, and grief.

Are you in the place in your life where you just feel done? You feel alone. Every relationship ends in disaster and heartbreak. Whether it is a romantic relationship or a friendship you just seem to pick the wrong people. You often feel disposable and rejected because all the people you want end up leaving you. You hear about people that have found their people and you wonder when will it be your day. When will you find the right relationships that bring you the quality relationships you dream of having. You feel too weak and paralyzed to try again only to find more heartbreak.

In this ever-changing and evolving world, we are all feeling some confusion, perhaps isolation, and a little anxiety in our lives. I see this in my clients’ lives and in my own. Therefore, I am dedicated to working with adults and teens in individual and couples counseling because I can empathize and help people learn new tools to live a healthier, more joyous life. Trauma, relationships, and even family can sometimes negatively affect us. I strive to empower people to become unstuck and move forward with more positivity and strategies to make great changes for themselves.

It can be important to have a supportive, safe, and open environment when you are seeking help through life's challenges. I strive to help provide that environment to work through those challenges with you. Together, we will utilize different strengths based methods, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness. I can help you to manage difficult thoughts and emotions, discuss and process difficult experiences, improve your self-care and problem solving, and build and maintain healthy relationships.

My name is Eugenia V. Davis. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and a Supervisor with over 24 years of clinical experience working with Individuals, Couples, and Families suffering from Anger Management, Anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, and Dual Diagnosis. I use a mix of Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Couples Therapy, Mindfulness-Based (MBCT), and Motivational Interviewing. I believe it is easy for a person to become wrapped up in issues they cannot rationalize, and I think I can help their cause.

I understand that therapy may be a big step for many and emotions may even be a bit scary. That’s why I make it my responsibility to create a safe and trusting, collaborative environment. I want the people that I work with to feel comfortable sharing their stories while also not shying away from exploring the scary parts as well. I like to approach these issues using acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). This approach highlights compassion and mindfulness to help individuals accept their emotions without judgment, notice and disengage with unhelpful thoughts, and learn to commit to their values by confronting avoidance.
