Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Hendersonville, NC

I believe in the power of connection. To self, to others, to the world around us. The stories we tell ourselves and the experiences we have do a great job of interfering with those connections. I work to support people by defining the values, relationships, and expectations that drive us. I enjoy working with young adults, adolescents and their families to explore the beliefs, fears, and anxieties that derail us from making those connections that give our lives purpose. I also love getting outside while we do it. Virtual sessions in the back yard or a walk and talk at the park? Frisbee gulf? Putt Putt? Paddleboard?

As a therapist with over 20 years experience, I believe in straight forward, compassionate, nonjudgemental therapy. I am currently licensed in three states (NC, SC, MI) and trained in a variety of treatment modalities. My history includes working with individuals who struggle with addictive behaviors, mood shifts, grief & loss, trauma, substance use disorders (SUD) and mental health (MH) challenges - both in residential programs and private practice. I also work with professional monitoring agencies. If you would like more details, please visit my website at 'champagnecounseling.com'

Life can present challenges, some we live with every day, and others seem to come out of nowhere. Maybe life doesn't follow along a path we've spent years creating and working toward. The business of living can begin to feel like a grind, and simple tasks may create exhaustion, fear, and uncertainty. Unresolved and painful childhood memories seem to revisit out of nowhere, and even though you've worked and wished, or prayed about the pain, the pain lingers. We often resign ourselves to perceiving life as a chore instead of a joyful experience, which can lead to a lack of fulfillment and even chronic illness.

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.

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.

I believe that we all have the potential to feel and live better, even if life circumstances are challenging. Many people find it difficult to feel confident and self assured, have peaceful, fulfilling relationships, navigate the demands of family, work, and home, and also focus on nourishing self care. These challenges are interconnected and are related to how we have developed our sense of self in the context of our family's expectations, our experiences, societal demands, cultural assumptions, and media influence. It's necessary to learn new ways to live our best lives in these particular circumstances. You are not alone.

Not taking new clients. I am a LCMHCS (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor) who specializes in providing counseling to adults. During therapy sessions, I pull from trauma-informed approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness-based stress reduction to empower clients to embrace authentic self-expression and increase their feelings of self-worth and well-being. I also specialize in treating ADHD in adults. I am also a Licensed Supervisor with experience supervising interns. I have 20 years of counseling experience.

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.

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.

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.

Are you living with depression, anxiety, grief, addiction, lack of direction, trauma? I believe that we naturally feel a call to live meaningful, loving lives and know intuitively that this is our best path but we often will feel stuck, unsure, fearful and so take no action. Existential therapy calls this a restricted existence and believes the goal of all therapy is to remove the road blocks that are limiting you from moving toward living your best life.

I believe we all have times in our lives when we become overwhelmed and may need help from another person. If this is your first-time seeking help, it can be intimidating to choose a therapist and begin the journey to healing. My goal is to create a safe place for clients to explore challenging areas of their lives. I work with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, substance abuse, relationship issues and life transitions. No matter where you find yourself in the life journey you will be welcomed and provided with compassionate support.

I specialize in working with people who want to work towards bettering their relationship with themselves and others, with those struggling to maintain a balance between respecting individual needs within the context of cultural and family expectations, with those who have experienced trauma and/or loss, and with people who are looking to build and expand upon their existing coping skills. I strive to maintain an inclusive, brave space. I encourage therapy to be a brave place, and not a safe place, because it is very brave to show up and work on getting out of the safety of the known and to work towards fostering a better future.

As a psychodynamic psychotherapist with over 35 years of experience I believe you are coming to me as a fellow pilgrim, journeying toward healing that comes when deepest concerns are shared safely with another human being. My approach invites reflection and the creation of a space where you can move at your own pace. When you tell me your story which may be painful, even terrible for you, I desire to stay with you and provide emotional presence especially when the going gets rough.

Use this upcoming Fall season to change. If you want to use this time to gain insight, grow, and navigate out of unhelpful patterns, then I invite you to contact me. I specialize in assisting you to manage shame, relationships, addiction recovery, and trauma. My approach to therapy is to assist clients in raising awareness of uncounsious experiences in order to live a more authentic and purposeful life. I aim to assist in shedding light on what is dark with a blend of humor and compassionate challenges that break those unhelpful patterns. My clients leave with a renewed sense of insight, awareness, and empowerment.

I have been practicing clinical psychology for nearly 20 years as a licensed psychologist. In that time, I have had the pleasure of working with many people who have struggled with a wide range of challenges including relationship and couple's difficulties, addiction, anxiety, depression, serious health concerns, loss, and trauma. I utilize a number of different perspectives including cognitive-behavioral, emotion focused individual and couples, and dynamic therapies. I am also trained in EMDR, mindfulness, relaxation, stress, and pain management.

Hello! Reaching out can be hard. I am glad that you have decided to take the first step in improving the quality of your life. Therapy does not mean you are broken. Rather, it suggests that you have encountered one of life’s challenges and would like some help with clarification of the problem, understanding what is needed, and learning some new skills to help you handle it. Everyone has a unique story and one-size treatment does not fit all. When you come to therapy, I will listen to you, collaborate with you, challenge you and support you in reaching your goals.

I am here to help people who feel stuck in anxiety and depression to find their way through these challenging emotions to a sense of ease in a more authentic and satisfying relationship with life and themselves. My holistic practice is rooted in building a safe, supportive relationship and trusting your inner wisdom as we work side by side exploring life's challenges. Working together we'll discover your unique needs and strengths in developing our goals for treatment. I am committed to empathy and open-mindedness while utilizing therapeutic techniques with proven effectiveness.
