Female Therapists in Greensboro, NC

I strive to create an environment for each client that is as liberating as it is welcoming to inspire a growth mindset. Our sessions have a person-centered foundation and incorporate approaches such as CBT, Somatic, ACT, Existential, Narrative, Brainspotting, and yoga-based therapies as needed. I find that the methods listed help foster a growth mindset and allow clients to reflect on their experiences and explore their goals and values at a pace that suits them. Sessions, treatment planning, and goals are the result of our partnership, and it's important that you always feel comfortable in the design of your care.

I'm Christine Murray (she/her/hers), the Founder of Start Here Counseling & Consulting, PLLC (www.starthereandnow.com). I'm on a mission to promote mental health, healthy relationships, and thriving communities. I have over two decades of experience working in the mental health field. Based in Greensboro, North Carolina, I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina, as well as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in my home state of Pennsylvania.

My ideal client is a person who struggles with interpersonal relationships. For you, that could mean worrying often about being rejected or abandoned by the people in your life. It could mean ignoring your own needs to please others so they won't leave you. It could mean isolating to avoid letting others see the real you because you have fears of being unlovable. It could mean finding activities that provide numbing or distraction to avoid the pain you feel about being alone. I am especially passionate about working with young adults, survivors of sexual trauma, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

I could not be more honored to join you on your journey to balanced wholeness. The truth is, many people struggle to live the lives that were purposed for them because they do not know how. Your decision to seek therapy will place you in the position to be equip to recognize, challenge, and change many aspects of your life. I am an advocate for healthy living physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually and I'm motivated by seeing the lives of people transformed. Thus I has a genuine call to educate and counsel in a bold effort toward self-discovery and awareness to find hidden treasures in each individual.

Meet your therapist who has your back like family but with the professional skills and wisdom to help you heal. I’m all about helping mothers and young women discover who they are beyond diaper duty and teen drama, college life, or just the daily grind. Think of me as your go-to for unpacking the mental load when you're stress, feeling like you cant catch up, or struggling with self care. We'll laugh through the chaos, we’ll grow, and dive deep to make sure you’re living your best life—mentally, emotionally, and physically. Let's level up your life one session at a time!

Reaching out for help can be tough, and I’m here to support you. Therapy is a journey that works best when there’s trust, so I strive to create a warm, inclusive space where you can be your true self. Together, we’ll explore whatever you’re facing—whether it’s identity, trauma, or finding direction in life. As a trauma-informed therapist, I focus on your safety, empowerment, and well-being. I value the uniqueness of your experiences and am committed to honoring them with respect and cultural humility. I’m here to walk this path with you, with empathy and understanding

Are you a so-called empath, overachiever, perfectionist or riddled with anxiety? Has life just become too much and you need some space to process it? Do you or someone you love have a brain health challenge? Parkinson’s disease, traumatic brain injury/concussion, mild cognitive impairment, multiple sclerosis, ADHD, problems with concentration or memory? Good news. I’m a board-certified neuropsychologist and we can handle that together. I know what these challenges mean - scientifically, and how they affect your day-to-day and relationships.

If you struggle to trust, to find contentedness with life, or to feel like you truly know yourself, then I can help you access your inner guidance. My goal is to meet you where you are, hear you- hear what you say, and what you don't, and then work together to find the empowerment and resilience to adapt and overcome the suffering you're faced with. I believe you are inherently worthy and have goodness and wisdom inside. I believe the nervous system can get in the way of presence and happiness but with some processing, unlearning, and relearning you can break free from old patterns and meet the self that you've wanted to be.

Compassion and Connection are my gifts and passion. I agree with the clinical researcher Brene Brown PhD who believed having connection with others is core to being human and without it humans suffer. I desire to offer compassion, increase self-awareness, and deepen connection with oneself. I believe when we can relate with ourselves in a more kind and compassionate way then we will be able to connect with others in a similar way. I believe these "ingredients" provide the fertile soil in the Transformation process. This is my desire for my clients in the counseling or coaching/consulting setting.

Do you ever find yourself overwhelmed by the challenges and circumstances in your life? Have you experienced feelings of loneliness, depression, anxiety, sadness, or a lack of support when you needed someone to confide in? I understand these struggles, and I want you to know that it's perfectly okay to not be okay. I'm here to provide you with the tools and strategies you need to break free from negative thought patterns and self-defeating behaviors. Similar to regular physical check-ups, therapy serves as a preventive measure, equipping you with effective strategies to navigate moments of chaos, uncertainty, and everyday life.

I am excited to connect with individuals who find themselves ready for a change, but perhaps unsure of how to make that happen for themselves. Working with teens, young adults, and adults, I am dedicated to come alongside you to help you reach your goals. I focus on providing a compassionate, fun, and trusting environment for each and everyone of my clients. I offer treatment for various concerns including trauma, ADHD, relational issues, life transitions, attachment issues, depression, and anxiety.

The journey to healing is often difficult and having support along the way is necessary. Many of us have been given messages that we need to be strong and brave, making it hard to ask for help. I am here to help you see that you are strong, and you are brave, but it is also okay to ask for help.

Welcome to Counseling Greensboro! You are the expert on you, and although I can never claim to know what it's like to be in your shoes, I can offer unwavering support, collaboration, and guidance on your journey. Healing occurs when life's difficulties are confronted and understood in the context of relationships. Family members, friends, significant others, coworkers, and professional counselors may all help with your healing. As a part of your support team, I will compassionately and actively listen to your concerns, formulate a plan of action and use evidence-based interventions to promote healing/recovery.

Sometimes, life doesn’t go as planned. In fact, sometimes, it can feel like nothing goes your way. The anxiety, stress and discomfort this brings can often make you feel out of control in all aspects of your life. Whether this is a new feeling or one you have been struggling with for a long time, I can help! I work with adults and teens working through issues involving things like STRESS!, depression, anxiety, postpartum issues, trauma, stress, grief, relationship issues, caregiving and parenting challenges. Oh and did I mention STRESS? Let's work together to figure out how to get you back to feeling your best!

I believe that everyone deserves a safe space to completely pour out the issues of life. From modest daily concerns to overcoming battles with addiction or trauma, my passion is to provide that safe space, and help guide you on your journey to a healthy and quality life. I understand the importance of creating a kind and nonjudgmental environment and I implement this to build trust and rapport so that individuals can be their true and authentic self.
