Anxiety Therapists in Hendersonville, NC

It's time to get up, but the day ahead feels too overwhelming. You've missed out on so much, and you worry what will happen next and what everyone will think. You feel powerless to change, and you’re so tired of trying things that don’t work. No one understands why you can’t just move forward, and you may feel completely alone. I want you to know that you’re not crazy, and things don't have to be like this forever. My clients report a deeper level of healing as they feel more connected to their bodies, experience more ease in their daily lives, and re-discover their strength and resilience.

Whether looking for a local counselor or you prefer a counselor with a little distance from where you live, I am ready to truly listen and care about where you would like your path to lead. You may not even have considered counseling before...then the Pandemic hit and you found the well of resilience you have always relied upon was not deep enough for all of the chaos, change and waves of grief. It's time to work through what surfaced while you were enduring incredible stress and upheaval in your world. Let's talk and see if this is a good fit for you.

Do you want to make changes in your life, but fear is holding you back? Or maybe you just don't know where to start. Together we can work on what keeps you stuck and how you can move forward. I have an eclectic approach in how I work, meaning I draw from a number of different theories in order to customize my approach for each individual client. I specialize in working with those struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma/PTSD.

I believe in the wisdom of our own unfolding and in the power of the therapeutic relationship to provide safe space for deep inner listening and healing. Whether you are seeking counseling because of acute pain, are feeling stuck, or long to uncover your greatest avenue for growth, I welcome the opportunity to partner with you and provide a container as we work towards your goals. My purpose is to help clients live more connected and authentic lives, lives which are in integrity with who you truly are.

Healing is not linear. Sometimes we need to give ourselves permission to heal from the same things more than once. Since we're always learning and growing, it's necessary to stop and ask ourselves at times if we agree with what we've learned and carried. Whether struggling to cope with a changing world, finding difficulty navigating your relationships, or specific concerns like anxiety, depression, or unresolved traumas, I'll encourage and support you as you commit to exploring and challenging your own attitudes, ideas, stories, and beliefs.

Hi, I’m Audrey! I’m so glad you’re considering therapy. Self-exploration and healing is important and courageous work, and finding the right therapist makes all the difference. I am warm and compassionate yet direct in my approach. There may be days where you need me to listen and help untangle your thoughts and feelings, and there may be other days where you need more dialogue, suggestions, or feedback. I am here for all of it! I am client-centered and attachment-focused in my work: I value the goals you want to set for yourself and believe the therapeutic relationship is most important in how counseling can help you heal.

Hello, I'm Jennifer Sterling, a licensed clinical mental health counselor and registered addictions specialist with a doctorate degree specializing in relationships. My passion lies in assisting individuals to overcome emotional obstacles, empowering them to lead fulfilling lives, and fostering healthier connections with others. I have found the clients who connect best with my style of therapy are individuals motivated to discover the root causes of their stress, anxiety, addictive behaviors, and relationship challenges.

Sometimes we feel stuck. We’ve tried on our own to heal, grow, and learn but we still find ourselves in the same patterns that have led to a continuous cycle of confusion, shame, and hopelessness. You are not alone. If you have found yourself questioning your worth, your relationships, or your identity, I am here to help. Most of us know, logically, that hardship, distress, and unwanted emotions are a part of life. But sometimes we were not given the correct tools to manage these difficult experiences. Together, I believe we can connect back to your authentic self so that you can lead the life you want.

You are not alone. Help is available to meet life's challenges so you can overcome and thrive again. I specialize in adults (from young, college age through seniors) with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, marriage counseling, career counseling and professional goal setting, parenting coaching, and issues of aging/life transitions. Therapy can help with issues of isolation, loneliness, and overwhelm. Together we can navigate situations and explore feelings and emotions to arrive at new understandings and improve our lives. If you feel sad, stressed, burnt out, and ready for a change, reach out for help.

Do you feel anxious, never enough, fearful, untrusting, and possibly unlovable or unsafe? Do you give a lot of yourself and end up feeling depleted? Do you experience strong feelings of personal responsibility for the actions/feelings of others? Does worry sometimes consume you? You deserve relationships and a life that bring out the best in you, not the stress in you! MM Counseling specializes in helping you overcome Complex and Single Incident Trauma, PTSD, Attachment Wounds, Anxiety, and Stress.

Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or grief that affects your day-to-day life, relationships, your ability to function, or your work? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or frustrated by just getting through the day? Are you hoping life could be better? Now more than ever, people feel anxious and overwhelmed about managing their lives. It shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life, there is hope and answers.

Are you struggling with chronic stress, upsetting memories, episodes of anger, panic, irritability? Are you feeling depressed or numb? Difficult life experiences cause the nervous system to make you feel this way, whether those experiences occurred recently or in the distant past. The body remembers and contains difficult experiences even when the mind doesn't. At some point the body can no longer contain the memories, and they pour out of us in the form of stress, anger, depression, numbness, or panic. Take advantage of one of the most effective post-traumatic stress treatments used world-wide today - the Trauma Resiliency Model.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! With over 35 years of mental health and substance abuse counseling experience, I believe that anyone can make changes necessary to improve their mood, relationships, and quality of life. My focus is on helping you, your partner, and your family implement practical strategies to solve problems, reach goals, and create lasting change. Areas of focus include helping couples improve communication and avoid patterns which result in conflict, and helping people with behavior, anger, or mood issues. I work with you in a safe, compassionate, and confidential environment, and respect of your needs and desires.

Are you feeling unworthy of the life you are living or maybe incompetent in the role that you have? Maybe it feels like every thought that crosses your mind is a spiraling rabbit hole of worst-case scenarios, and it’s creating a barrier to reaching your fullest potential. Has it felt like you’ve been on an emotional roller coaster of sadness, anxiety, or confusion and you feel like the ride is never going to end? Perhaps an unsettling sense of wanting to isolate or build walls within your close relationships. You always make sure everyone else is taken care of first; however, you know it’s time for something different. Time for you.

The most powerful tool available to you is not merely realization of who you are...it is the option to create who you want to be. My privilege is to work with clients who are growing choice in how they think, respond, and, therefore, feel. Unique as your story is, you are not alone in your needs - relief from anxiety, resolution of conflict, or ability to trust. Whether you feel stuck completely or have been circling the same chapter without evolving...good news. You have permission to turn the page.

In our first session we will discuss working together on-line. I use a combination of IFS (Internal Family Systems) and EMDR. IFS is an extraordinary therapy. In safe, gentle, respectful ways, IFS accesses and TRANSFORMS that which is the cause of your problems: your hidden and not-so-hidden fears, shame, anger, hurt… why you have negative thinking (I’m not good enough, things are not the way I want them to be), as well as the negative ways you may be acting (in anger, critical, impatient, abusing substances). I use a special on-line platform for EMDR which I am finding works well.
