Therapists in Wade, Raleigh, NC

My work is dedicated to helping people develop healthy relationships and productive, satisfying lives. You may be experiencing depression, anxiety, anger issues, or a difficult situation, a sense that somehow your life is not working out as you'd like. I have additional extensive training in Sex Therapy and sex addiction. I have been a corporate CEO, and am retired from the USAF with 22 years of service to this great country. It would be my privilege to work with you. Two office locations; Raleigh and Holly Springs. I offer Video Teletherapy and I'm a certified distance counselor.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS I am passionate and excited about the therapeutic work I do with each individual I see. I work to build a safe, trusting and honest therapeutic relationship. As this therapeutic relationship builds I guide, challenge and encourage each individual to take the skills they are learning, the courage they are building and work towards the goals they are taking the steps to reach. Therapy is a journey that will take you through the process of finding clarity and understanding you are struggling to find due to eating disorder(s), anxiety, depression and/or postpartum depression.

I provide individual and couples counseling for adults. As a couple's counselor, I work with couples to develop effective communication skills, improved emotional connection with one another, and healthy sexual intimacy. I enjoy working with adults on a wide variety of issues, including stress, depression, anxiety, relationship issues, codependency, grief, recovery from trauma, managing intense emotions, and obsessive thoughts or compulsive behaviors.

Are you sad, worried, feeling overwhelmed, or stuck in your life? If so, I provide caring psychotherapy, counseling, and life coaching for adults who are seeking relief from stress, depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief/loss, trauma, addictive or compulsive behavior, codependency, issues of identity, or readjustment.

**NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING CLIENTS*** I recommended checking out threeoaksbehavioralhealth.com for your next best fit!! You matter! The relationship between client and therapist is of the utmost importance. I focus my therapeutic practice on a non-judgmental, positive, realistic, and integrated approach, rooted in collaboration and the concepts of ACCEPTANCE, BALANCE and CHANGE. I value you as the expert on your life and believe firmly in honest, genuine collaboration. We will work together to get you exactly where you want to be.

Is life stressing you out? I don't just help my clients develop skills to manage stress effectively but also work through and heal from what is the underlying causes to stress in their life. I am unlike most therapist because I am highly trained in different somatic approaches including Somatic Experiencing, where I incorporate my exceptional level of knowledge in neuroscience to therapy sessions. I am able to explain to you how your nervous system and brain functions when under physically and emotional stress, how this impacts your mental health, and how to heal from this in therapy.

Resentment, feeling stuck, restlessness, and anger - these painful emotions are indicators that it's time to make a change. The feelings we want relief from are deeply potent messengers that we are not living in our truth or purpose. You may already be aware of the need for change - feeling devalued in your relationships or in your career, feeling stuck in behaviors like drinking, over-eating, or numbing out with TV or social media - but the path out is unclear. It's possible to experience our emotions, set-backs, and struggles without feeling completely defeated, less-than, or unworthy.

Are you or a loved one struggling with internet porn, sex addiction, serial affairs, or compulsive masturbation? Tired of living a double life--lying to your partner, friends, family? Shame and guilt often prevent sex addicts from seeking the help they need. Partners, in turn, feel overwhelmed by shock, anger, grief, and a deep sense of betrayal upon discovering the addict's secret life.I specialize in working with sex addicts, their partners and families in a confidential treatment program free of judgment or condemnation. I firmly believe that recovery is possible for this problem.

Every day I have the privilege of working with the bravest folks on the planet & none of you know it when you first walk in the door. You often feel defeated, overwhelmed & ashamed that you aren't able to "get over" your sexual, physical or emotional trauma. It's also common for you to have a nagging, chronic sense that something is just not right, an unhappiness; feeling unloved or unlovable, disconnected from friends and family, having lost a sense of purpose or direction. Without knowing that these symptoms may be telling us that a past trauma--long ago

I provide a safe and nurturing environment where clients can be heard and empowered to explore, discover, understand, resolve, and transform their lives. I am committed and passionate about my work with clients. I offer therapeutic services to adolescents, adults, families, and couples in English or Spanish. My treatment methods are selected based on the client's presenting issues/ needs, assessment data, and evidence-based practices. I utilize a strength-based approach, commonly using cognitive and behavioral therapeutic modalities, skills training, and education in my work with clients.

I specialize in trauma and have over 25 years of experience working with PTSD, eating disorders, self-injury, and personality disorders.

I am ecletic in my approach, using psychodynamic principles, sensorimotor approaches, and DBT skills.

Each of us plays a role in helping to make the world a happier and better place, and as a counselor I have the opportunity to do so through my work. Helping clients to feel empowered, reach their full potential, and see the beauty in themselves is how I help clients become their best selves. As a North Carolina Board Certified Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults I have had the pleasure of meeting many people of varying backgrounds. I provide individual, couples, and family-integrated counseling.

Are you looking for something to be different in your life? Do you want to change your life situation, solve a problem, make a major decision, or gain a better understanding of what is happening in your life or relationships? Through counseling, I will provide a person-centered and cognitive behavioral perspective. This means I view counseling as a process by which I help to facilitate my client's exploration and identification of their needs to assist them in making changes in their cognition and behaviors, which will result in the attainment of improved life satisfaction and self-acceptance.

Life can be hard. No matter how healthy, smart, hardworking or successful we may be, we can find ourselves facing unexpected challenges and feeling overwhelmed or confused. I work with adults of all ages and walks of life. Some are depressed or anxious or angry or grieving. Some want to grow or understand themselves better. If you want to grow; if you are struggling; if your challenge is too complex to work through on your own; if you do not want to burden family or friends; then working with a therapist can be helpful and emotionally safe.

There are times in our lives when we feel overwhelmed, unmotivated, and disconnected. We lose sight of who we are and what we want. It is my belief that all humans are capable of growth and contentment. That, through practicing self-awareness and self-acceptance, we are able to re-examine beliefs, behaviors, and patterns of protection that keep us from connection and creating joy. I utilize an integrated and relational approach to work with clients on becoming "unstuck" from anxiety, depression, trauma, body image issues, relationship concerns, challenging life transitions, impacts of oppressive systems, and limiting beliefs.

Most of us need help, at one time or another in our lives, and asking for help is not always easy. However, it is important to realize our own limitations and allow yourself to feel better. Mental health is a vital part of overall well-being, and its impact on our life should not be underestimated.

Doing psychotherapy is a lot like playing jazz: The challenge for me as therapist is to stay in tune with the patient's own creative, self-healing process and to provide a safe container ("rhythm section"). The patient's life narratives are the "melodies" to be composed, developed, & improvised. My ideal patient is motivated to show up and do the work involved in creating/healing and to allow the therapeutic relationship to support the work. My private practice (The Androgyny Center) serves adult patients of all genders. I also do consultations with families and professionals regarding developmental issues re gender and sexual orientation.

I am a licensed psychologist practicing in Durham, NC and online in 39 states through PSYPACT .

Towards this goal, I assist individuals in developing a deeper understanding of themselves, the relationship between their thoughts and behaviors, and in finding more effective answers to new or reoccurring problems.
