Substance Use Therapists in Saint Pauls, NC

Are you ready to start the work towards healthy living? Finding value while creating the mindset and life you are meant and want to live. Let's connect and start the journey together! I have been providing Substance Abuse therapy as a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist in the state of North Carolina since 2018 once receiving a Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling. With 8 years of working with diverse individuals with Mental Health and Substance Abuse diagnosis through individual, couple, family, and group therapeutic settings.

I am a very blunt therapist and will always lay out the process and what that looks like for each individual client. The intake can be very boring, as I ask many questions to gain an understanding of how I can help. I then make sure we have a mutual agreement when creating a plan for therapy that includes how we can recognize progress in therapy. I typically do not assign homework as I understand that there is not always time for homework with all of life's demands. I specialize in trauma and couples but have worked with many different diagnoses.

Accepting New Clients. Evening and Saturday appointments available. Life can be challenging and there are times when we may feel overwhelmed and unsure how to cope. I believe in the power of thoughts to drive emotional and behavioral responses, and I provide a safe and nonjudgemental space for you to express these thoughts and feelings, while teaching coping skills to lessen symptoms and empower you to make decisions that improve your overall quality of life.

I am a counseling psychologist who offers individual therapy to adolescents and adults. I have extensive experience in the treatment of depression, anxiety, trauma, relational/interpersonal conflict, substance use concerns, sleep disorders, and stress management. I have particular expertise in working with emerging adults and students navigating the pressures of undergraduate and graduate schooling. Lastly, I have specialized training and experience in substance use specific concerns, including interests in addressing problematic risk and examining our overall relationship to substances.

Have you recently noticed a change in your life that left you feeling “stuck”, alone, scared, or even hopeless? I work with clients experiencing a variety of concerns, but most often with those experiencing Anxiety, Depression, Interpersonal Struggles, School/Life Changes, Post Traumatic Stress, medical crises, and substance use disorders to encourage them to openly and honestly work through hard topics, and leave the space feeling more confident and resilient. I specialize in working with adult clients, pre-teens and teens, individuals and families in the palliative care system, and Veterans.

Kris is experienced in counseling and treating child, adolescent and adult populations through individual, group and family therapy. She works with those facing mental health, behavioral and substance use challenges to achieve their overall whole person goals through mindfulness and therapeutic techniques with a strength’s perspective and person-centered approach.

I use an empowerment lens in my practice because I believe wholeheartedly in the strength and potential of every individual. My goal as a therapist is to foster a safe and authentic space where clients can engage in meaningful change and growth. I hope to guide clients in identifying and leveraging their strengths to meet their goals. With experience in addressing co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders, I can provide comprehensive treatment to individuals navigating these complex challenges. If you’re seeking personalized support on your path to healing and self-discovery, I am here to walk alongside you.

I use the specialist rather than the generalist model of care. I am board certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and certified in Prolonged Exposure for PTSD and maintain up to date continuing education, seek any needed supervision, and keep up with relevant research findings in those areas. As such, I am particularly qualified to work with clients who seek treatment for issues related to Borderline Personality Disorder, Mood Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Substance Use Disorders and PTSD.. I believe that if you are suffering from a specific issue, you deserve to receive the appropriate care for that issue.

I specialize in supporting individuals who face depression, anxiety, mood/behavioral issues, and trauma. My expertise lies in working with survivors of sexual trauma and abuse, offering compassionate guidance and utilizing evidence-based therapies such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to help process and overcome past barriers. Additionally, as an Addictions Specialist, I am committed to assisting those navigating substance use and recovery.

not sure what to do? I'm here to help! My name is Claire. I love dogs and nature! I specialize in co-disorders, working with any and all clients struggling with mental health and substance abuse. I respect and value the uniqueness of each client from all walks of life, and believe in creating a space where all individuals feel welcome to be their authentic self.

Has finding an inclusive therapist been a challenge for you? Do you need a counselor who understands experiences around BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, neurodiversity, ability differences, and any other wonderful traits that make you who you are? As therapists at Nour Counseling, we self-identify with historically marginalized backgrounds, and have a special passion for supporting our communities. You can come to each therapy session resting assured that your therapist recognizes how the intersection of your various identities impacts the way you experience the world and presenting concerns. We celebrate folx who identify as bicultural, Black, African American, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, ability diverse, and all who have been historically marginalized because… Everyone means everyone.

I'm really glad you're here. I work with folx living in Raleigh/Durham, Charlotte, and Greensboro areas, all through an easy telehealth therapy platform. My favorite work to do with clients is exploring parts of yourself that you don't like, parts that might need some extra attention or healing, and internal feelings or overwhelming body sensations (like anxiety, anger, or depression) that really seem to hold you back. I really enjoy working with cis women and queer folx, exploring anything from relationships to coming out, attachments styles, old or newer traumas, implementing positive self talk, substance use, and gender identity.

I provide individual therapy to children, adolescents, and adults. My areas of work include, but are not limited to, those experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, mood disorders, personality disorders, relationship issues, communication issues, bullying, low self-esteem, self-criticism, impulsivity, self-harm, addiction, and substance use disorders.

I see you're looking for a therapist! Whether you're new to therapy or looking for a tune-up, looking at profiles is a great place to start. I am a North Carolina Board Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate. Prior to working in Ramsuer, I lived in Upstate New York and worked with adults and teens on a variety of mental health and substance use concerns for the first 5 years of my career. I love working with those with ADHD, neurodivergence, depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, as well as stress management and general life transitions.

I am a therapist at Living Beyond It in Smithfield, NC. I have spent the past two decades working in the mental health and substance use field. I am accepting new youth and adult patients. My specialties are transition age youth (ages 14-24) and at risk populations. If you or your child are having difficulty with anxiety, depression, social relationships or life in general, I would love to help!

Accepting New Clients - I believe life brings varying degrees of struggle and pain, and we can all benefit from help to move through it. I also recognize the bravery it takes to reach out for help, and my goal is to establish an environment where individuals feel comfortable not only reaching out but also in the journey that follows. In my work with adults (18+), I employ client-centered and collaborative methods, meeting individuals where they are and creating a supportive atmosphere to explore their concerns.

I provide both outpatient mental health therapy and substance abuse/use assessments and therapy to all members of the community. Clients experiencing such issues as depression/anxiety, PTSD/trauma, life changes, gender identity concerns, and substance use will benefit from the services I offer. I utilize a person centered approach and work collaboratively with clients to address their needs. I meet clients 'where they are' and work with them to identify positive interventions and change. The comprehensive clinical assessments and substance abuse assessments I provide meet criteria for court ordered and school referred clients and can be completed in office or at your location.

Welcome! Taking the first step toward therapy is a courageous decision, and I'm here to support you every step of the way. I work with children, teens, and young adults, and adults facing a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, stress, and substance use concerns. With a compassionate and personalized approach, I'll help you uncover your strengths and build resilience.
