BHS | Behavioral Health Systems Therapists in Huntersville, NC

At Be Centered Counseling and Consulting, PLLC it is my goal to assist you in discovering who you are and lead you into the life you expect. While no one can predict life circumstances and difficulties, I believe through gaining a greater understanding of self and improving perception, it is possible to breathe new meaning into your life. I have experience working in various clinical settings with diverse populations. I partner with my clients to discover barriers which keep them stuck and unfilled. I am committed to providing a safe and comfortable atmosphere for you to share and grow.

Navigating life can be associated with many challenges leaving one feeling uncertain, lost, or downright afraid. Knowing that you have the support of someone who will provide you a safe space to be your authentic self can help guide you through depression, anxiety, or anger. I would like to assist you with exploring healthy alternatives through support and empathy. Together we will strive to develop understanding, acceptance, and forgiveness as we take a journey to discover a healthier version of you.

The past couple of years has found a way to show us all that health is wealth. Self-care is the best investment there is. So often as a people, we keep things inside and second guess reaching out. If you are reading this, it’s because you are ready to prioritize self-growth and self-healing. You are ready to unpack your story and let go of the things that no longer serve you. Welcome. I offer a safe place for you to just be you, as we collaborate on how you can become the best version of that. I get it, life comes with its peaks and valleys. I am here to help you find balance and inner peace through the ups and downs.

Life is a marathon and I believe that it is all about endurance. Sometimes we have to get a little help along the way whether it be a change of shoes, re-uptake of protein or a water break. There is this idea that we are weak when we seek others to help us out, but I also know that in life we cannot always persevere without a helping hand. I look forward to being an option of that new running shoe or Gatorade as we stride through the finish line together.

We are accepting new patients! Hablamos y ofrecemos servicios en Español. Estamos aceptando nuevos pacientes. I am a bilingual (English and Spanish) and bicultural professional who has worked with abused children, adolescents, adults and their families who have experienced trauma. I have also worked with individuals with other mental health disorders (e.g., anxiety disorders, mood disorders, psychotic disorders, eating disorders, impulse control, addiction disorders, personality disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, etc.).

Now accepting new patients in 2024. Sometimes, life does not go how we thought it would. Our relationships/marriages become broken, our children experience pain, our family is in conflict, we develop internal conflict, and we feel lost, empty, anxious, depressed, and overwhelmed. Reading books, seeking help online, and talking to friends, ministers, or coworkers do not seem to provide lasting results. I want to help you get lasting results. Contact me by email or confidentiality request an appointment anytime, 24/7, on my website. I look forward to hearing from you.
