Child Therapists in Knightdale, NC

I am pleased to announce the release of my new book, "Affirmative Parenting." It is available as an ebook and paperback version on Amazon. My goal is to provide a safe, nonjudgmental, positive environment where thoughts, feelings, and behaviors can be explored and understood. I want to help people achieve problem resolution through personal and emotional growth. I have used this approach in a variety of mental health settings and, presently, in my private practice. Please visit my website for more details at www.drdalesheffield.com. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile.

As an experienced psychotherapist, I specialize in both brief and intensive therapies. I have expertise in working with individuals and couples with dysfunctional communication patterns. If you feel that you are caught in a loop of partners who do not meet your needs, we will work together to understand the areas where you feel stuck and uncared for in your relationships. I will help you do the hard work needed to make relationship changes and feel a greater sense of well-being. We will work through past traumatic experiences and promote compassion for self and others.

For generations, mental health has been associated with fear and misunderstanding. I am dedicated to pushing through those barriers, by providing you a safe, non-judgmental space for processing life experiences.

You have already taken the most difficult step by being courageous enough to seek help. Let’s get started; let’s talk about it.

Pain can make us feel profoundly isolated, as if we're the only person in the world experiencing it. It seeps into our sense of self-worth and leaves us unsure of where to begin healing. This uncertainty can be terrifying. My mission is to help you explore and understand your pain more deeply. Every part of who you are matters, even those aspects you might want to keep hidden. I aim to create a space where all parts of you feel welcomed and supported, free from judgment and full of compassion.

Starting your therapy journey can be overwhelming, but this is a start! Whether you need a listening ear, or working through life’s difficult moments, I am here to provide a safe space for you. We’ll work together to discover the connection between your feelings and where they originated. Let's work through intense emotions, negative thoughts, and unhealthy patterns together.

Finding someone to connect with your struggling child can be a challenging process. It is my goal to understand your child’s unique needs and provide a caring therapeutic environment. I want children to feel at ease so that they are comfortable communicating, building self-esteem, and developing the skills needed to manage their struggles. Whether we are playing with dolls, talking about a favorite video game, or discussing a specific shared problem, therapy will be an enjoyable experience they can look forward to each session.
