Eating Disorders Therapists in Raleigh, NC

Greetings! Congratulations on taking the 1st step to address your concerns. It takes courage to make this step and I want to acknowledge your efforts. It gives me great pleasure to have the opportunity to develop a collaborative relationship with you and to connect with you, guide you and provide a non-judgmental safe place. I enjoy working with children, pre-teens, adolescents, and adults. I am a passionate clinician that strives to improve the quality of life of my clients.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I create a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients are able to explore issues and improve the quality of their lives. I use an integrative style of psychotherapy that pulls from many different approaches with an emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am also a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist and have experience working with those struggling with addiction and recovery issues.I also have years of experience working with emergency and trauma patients and their families. I treat children, adolescents and adults using individual, family and/or couples' counseling.

When my clients come to me, they are often feeling overwhelmed, out of control, even angry. These experiences may be amplified by feelings of boredom, lack of motivation, and exhaustion. You, or your adolescent, may be entering one of life's inevitable transitions. Perhaps you find yourself experiencing a shift in identity, separating from a loved one, welcoming new members into your family, or experiencing grief and loss. I may be able to help.

The goal of personal counseling is to assist you in resolving personal issues that may be preventing you from achieving your full potential. There are a variety of personal issues to discuss during counseling. Some of the more common concerns include: depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, interpersonal conflicts, stress and time management.

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.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I am trained to help with a wide variety of mental health needs, including depression, anxiety and panic disorders, trauma, and grief.

Are you struggling with making a desired change in your life? Look no further! You've come to the right place… therapy! Therapy can be a wonderful yet uncomfortable experience, especially starting out. I am here to help ease that discomfort and help you meet your goals and needs. I sprinkle in humor to help with the intensity therapy can bring. I have experience with various populations including families, military, veterans, EMS, couples, and individuals with various mental health experiences. I look forward to the opportunity to help you on your therapy journey. I’ll leave the light on for you.

As someone who has been in therapy myself, I've learned over the years that meeting a new therapist is like going on a blind date. Once you meet them, you either get an instant feeling of "oh, I feel like I know this person and wow, I feel like I can be me and open with them" OR its just a hard no; which is completely ok! If you are looking for someone to help challenge you, empower you, and hold you accountable, while being able to speak completely freely in a non judgmental, warm, and comforting space, then let's start your journey together!

Hi! I am so glad you are here. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and National Certified Counselor with 8 years of clinical experience. Life experiences, transitions, and relationships can be challenging; together we can discover new ways to process difficult emotions, set boundaries, increase self-awareness, and self-confidence. I enjoy supporting women and birth givers during the perinatal and postpartum periods as they adjust and transition into motherhood and parenthood. I have training in perinatal mental health, pregnancy loss, parenting, relationships, and trauma.

Do you ever feel like you were made for more than this? More than your worry, sadness, shame, regrets, and your past failures? Well, you were made for much more! Life can and will be full of challenges and difficulties, but through the process of therapy we can work through your obstacles and toward the life you were made to live. Although the process of change is difficult, it is rarely more difficult than your current suffering.

You deserve to live a meaningful and balanced life. Using a compassionate and collaborative approach, we will create a safe and nurturing environment for you to begin your self-exploration and healing. I will listen to you without judgment and honor you as a whole person who has inherent wisdom. Whether it is processing unresolved trauma, improving your mood, strengthening your relationships, or seeking support as you navigate life's transitions and challenges, you will experience healing and growth.

Accepting New Clients - Life can be overwhelming, and trying to understand and process experiences can be difficult. Understanding your mental health and how to care for your well-being can be life-changing. Suffering from anxiety, depression, relational/familial conflict or trauma, or just looking for an outside perspective can all benefit from therapy. I do speak some Mandarin but require that clients also speak some English.

Accepting New Clients! Struggling to find meaningful connection in your life? Sometimes the harder we work to come up for air, the more we feel like we are drowning. We have specialized training in the treatment of anxiety, trauma, insomnia, disordered eating, chronic illness, and depression. Our focus is not just on short term symptom relief, but long term understanding of the dynamics that keep us stuck. We'll take the time to truly understand your history, triggers, and all contributing factors in order to build an individualized plan for treatment.

Seeking out a therapist can be one of the most challenging and rewarding decisions you can make. My goal is to provide a warm, compassionate, trauma informed, and nonjudgmental approach to treatment. I believe humor is an important part of the process! I have a special interest in working with folks experiencing anxiety, adjustment/transition issues, prenatal/postpartum concerns, perfectionism, family/relational issues (including history of relational trauma), body image concerns, and sport and performance issues. I work well with college students, athletes, early-career professionals, and pregnant folks/parents of young children.

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. Utilizing a collaborative and strength-based approach, we will work together to build your toolbox of healthy, and individualized strategies that will empower you to be your very best self. You have already taken the most difficult step by being courageous enough to seek help. Let’s get started; let’s talk about it.

Do you struggle with anxiety that affects your day-to-day life? Do you feel paralyzed making decisions just getting through the day? Do you wonder if life can be more joyful? Peaceful? Now more than ever people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage it all. Pushing your needs to the bottom of the list and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. We believe there is hope and answers.

I believe that counseling helps others help themselves and is the first step to make the changes they desire. Psychotherapy can help guide you along the path towards self-fulfillment and discovery. My main theoretical approach, as well as techniques used, stem from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have a passion to work with those struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, existential issues, and adjustment issues.
