In Person Therapists in Kernersville, NC

Therapy doesn't have to be hard and scary if you've found the right person to speak with. I'd be honored if that person were me. Are you having difficulty communicating within relationships, feeling depressed or you are anxious or struggling with so many things that you don't know where to begin? Do you just need someone to talk to? My goal is for you to learn how to express yourself in a way that leaves you feeling heard. I want you to understand your worth and know how to move forward in a way that best suits you. I work with individuals, couples and/or families to bring a sense of selves back into their lives.

It is anxiety-provoking to put ourselves in a position of vulnerability and open up about our struggles. I believe taking this risk can be well worth it if you connect with the right person. As a therapist I am someone who will listen to you with respect and provide validation of your emotional experiences. I will also encourage you to consider alternative ways of interpreting your experiences. I am someone who has had her own challenges with anxiety and depression and grew up in a family with their own mental health issues.

I have dedicated the last 20 years to helping people overcome feelings of: Stress, Anxiety Relationship issues Family conflicts Self esteem Depression. Also experienced in: Addictions , Trauma and abuse , Intimacy-related issues , Anger management , Bipolar disorder , Coping with life changes , Coaching , ADHD.

It's hard to focus on work and home when your thoughts are racing. Getting through the day without a meltdown has become a life goal. Isolating to avoid stress is automatic. And friends? Well, forget about that. There is no energy or desire to be around friends. Emotions like fear, shame, and loneliness have crushed important things like confidence, peace, and a sense of well-being. Now, since you are reading this I am going to assume that this isn't ok with you. I am going to go out on a limb and guess that you want something different. That's great, because that means that you are ready for change. I can help.

In 2011, I decided to start studying to become a therapist after working as a classroom educator for 16 years, because I saw the failing of the educational system and the struggles of the family system. I started working as a therapist in 2016, and today, we all face a variety of emotional issues that are difficult for to express, name, and discuss. Many people feel as if no one is listening or will listen to them, especially adults on the Autism Spectrum who already struggle with communication. I want to help empower all people on the Autism Spectrum and their support systems.

Hello, and welcome to my profile! Sometimes it feels like we are carrying the weight of the world on our shoulders, while other times, we may only crave the need for human interaction. Regardless of your reason for seeking therapy, I am fully devoted to accompanying you on your unique journey towards healing and growth in a safe and nonjudgmental space. You are the expert on your own life, and I strive to meet you where you are, in this moment. Collaboratively, we will work together to identify goals specific to your needs. I enjoy working with all ages (children, adolescents, and adults) as there is so much to learn from everyone.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of practice. I work with people experiencing mood disorders, adjustment difficulties, stress related to personal or job areas, and people suffering from chronic or acute illnesses such as oncology diagnoses. I utilize a mix of Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Compassion Focused, Interpersonal, and Strength-Based therapies. Often we may not even know the problem or have the words to explain it. We know that something is wrong. I offer a respectful and compassionate space to explore the details of your problem and map out a plan for moving beyond them.

Do you ever find yourself stuck in the same place without direction or pulled in so many different directions that you have become overwhelmed? I fully believe in the counseling process and have personally seen the benefits. Whether you are looking for short-term or long-term therapy, I can guide you toward finding and understanding yourself. Seeking therapy can create anxiety. I provide a non-judgmental, empathetic approach as everyone deserves to be heard and understood. Counseling provides a way to discuss your thoughts and feelings in a safe environment. I provide this environment to every individual.

I wholeheartedly believe in the resilience of the human spirit and that each of us are imbued with the desire to achieve, to connect and have peace. Change is usually associated with stress and we are not fond of it; we find comfort in our routine even when that routine is allowing us to feel overwhelmed, underappreciated and at its worst, neglected or abused. Change is what inspires and produces growth. Without growth, we whither and shrink away becoming someone whom we barely recognize. We are life forces and energy that need growth in order to realize our fullest potential

Since 1992, I have had the honor of accompanying countless individuals in their journey towards living more authentic and satisfying lives. I am convinced that everyone possesses the ability to live their life to its fullest potential. As your counselor, my role is to help awaken you to this dormant power within. I believe that we all function based on the beliefs instilled in us at an early age and are reinforced in various ways throughout our lives. It is when we begin to challenge these "truths" that we experience a great awakening and discover our true self.

I enjoy providing individuals with the opportunity to address problems in a safe and supportive environment that encourages growth toward self-awareness, coping and overall wellness. I have experience in offering counseling for a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues. I am especially interested in helping families to create or restore peace within their home by utilizing play therapy techniques with children and strengthening parenting skills with adults. I also enjoy helping people overcome the effects of depression, anxiety, and trauma. I have training in EMDR and I am a Certified TF-CBT therapist.

Approaching an initial psychotherapy session can be daunting. My approach seeks from the outset to make your experience as comfortable as possible. Whether you have worked with other therapists, or you have never spoken with a counselor before, you will find me approachable and welcoming. My style is very collaborative and open. I am here for you, and you alone; to address your concerns and provide the outcome you seek. While I have extensive experience treating anxiety and panic, I have successfully addressed a wide range of issues and concerns. I have over twenty-five years of experience to help you make the changes you seek.

My areas of specialty are adolescent therapy, grief and loss, anxiety disorders, depression, and self-harming behaviors. As a graduate of the Wake Forest mental health counseling program, I am committed to helping adolescents and adults find healing and resolution through a therapeutic journey. I utilize several therapeutic techniques and approaches including person centered therapy, sand play, expressive arts therapy, dream work, EMDR and cognitive behavioral therapy.

NOTE: Only daytime (BEFORE 3PM) spots currently available. Life is full of challenges, but what happens when those challenges are harder to overcome than you expect? Whether we find ourselves with a mental illness that makes coping harder, or in extreme situations we never thought we'd face, there comes a point where we need a little help. Counseling and therapy can provide that help and get you to the place and person you want to be. It is my goal to help you meet your goals, whether that's overcoming a difficult past, surviving a difficult present, or being able to envision an easier future. We'll get there together!

Reaching out for assistance in any situation can be incredibly difficult. I believe we all have the ability to step into our personal power, utilize our strengths, and obtain tools to support our growth and ability to manage life difficulties, including mental health struggles. Sometimes we need someone there to help recognize our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that can create ongoing struggle, blocks to progress, and conflict in our interpersonal relationships. As someone who has experienced anxiety and trauma on a personal level, I provide understanding, empathy, and compassion to all with whom I work with.

At SolTerra Wellness Center, we approach mental health with empathy, compassion, and support. Our counseling services provide clients with healthy skills for daily living as well as treatment for mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, and substance use. When you are ready to talk, we are here to help.

Let me help you create the life you want to have. We will start working from where you are and support you building a life worth living. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for positive change. I passionately believe in treating clients with the utmost dignity and respect. I have had the privilege of working with amazing clients from diverse backgrounds, different kinds of diagnoses, and in all phases of life.

There are times when there is the feeling that all hope is gone. I believe that God has a plan for your life, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future...and will bring you back from captivity. My goal is simple: to help my clients discover that "plan", gain insight, make changes, and grow in God's grace. I am here to assist you in your journey back to wholeness: mentally, emotionally, relationally, and/or spiritually. Whether you're trying to restore a broken marriage, mend family relationships, pick up the pieces or seeking a fresh start, hope and healing awaits you.
