Therapists in Wake Forest, NC

I have a heart for serving adults, adolescents, couples and families dealing with significant life issues such as the death of a loved one, chronic illness or pain, issues stemming from past trauma, parenting children with special needs, or managing chronic mental health conditions such as ADHD, anxiety and depression. I believe that it is helpful when a therapist has a personal understanding of the areas in which they specialize. I have personal experience with all of these circumstances, allowing me a level of empathy and insight that may not be possible otherwise.

Are racing thoughts and worrying keeping you up at night? Do you struggle with low self-esteem? Do you feel overwhelmed with emotional disturbance and have a hard time coping in a healthy way? Is your past trauma holding you back? It may be hard for you to relax. You may find it challenging to trust yourself or others. Relationships seem difficult to navigate. However, you don’t have to live with severe anxiety and unhappiness. You don’t have to be held back by what happened to you. Therapy can be a helpful way to learn healthy and effective coping skills, process emotions, get support, and work through trauma.

Are you someone who had always thought therapy wasn't for you? Did it seem too fluffy and uncomfortable? And yet, you find yourself here because you are at a stuck point in life and need to make a change. Sometimes we find ourselves moving through patterns that just aren't working for us anymore, or knowing exactly what we need to do but feeling lost about how to put it into practice. If this sounds like you, I'd like to help. Email is the Preferred Method of Contact.

I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship between client and clinician is key in order for growth to happen. Once mutual respect and trust are established, I work toward gaining a deeper understanding of the client, their needs, and what obstacles they’ve found themselves faced with. I offer a space of non-judgment, empathy, and support in which clients can feel safe to open up and share their authentic selves. Upon meeting, I'll work with the client to create a treatment plan and goals, knowing that there is no one-size-fits-all plan. I most commonly work with those struggling with depression, anxiety, and family issues.

Getting stuck on life's journey happens to all of us at one time or another. When you become more aware of your own story, thoughts, behaviors, emotions, and beliefs, you have an increased ability to face challenges and overcome adversity with success. My goal is to help you discover alternatives to address the challenges that you face.

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.

Welcome! I’m glad you’re here and found my page. If you’re here, my guess is that you are seeking help with healing, growth, or wanting to wade through something that has been on your mind for yourself, your child or family. I provide an open, non-judgemental, relaxed, collaborative environment and believe that a strong relationship with your therapist helps with growth, healing and reflection. I specialize in working with children ages 7-18, young adults, adults and families facing a variety of challenges.

Are you struggling with intense anxiety, frequent worry, or obsessive thoughts? Do you avoid important activities because of your anxiety? Do you find it difficult to enjoy life and pursue goals because of these problems? We all experience anxiety sometimes, but if it interferes with your social life, daily functioning, or work there is hope. I pride myself on being compassionate while being guided by evidenced based treatment using CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention).

Hi there! I’m Ashley Davis, a licensed marriage and family therapist (or LMFT) in the state of North Carolina. I’m originally from the Triangle, and I love being able to make a positive impact in the community I grew up in through my work with the clients I serve. Being an LMFT, I have a unique approach to therapy, in that I approach therapy first and foremost from a systemic perspective. This essentially means that I place a large amount of emphasis on how people’s relationships, environments, and backgrounds affect their overall mental wellness and explore these areas in depth with my clients.

Hello! My name is Sage Torrez and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and an Outpatient Psychotherapist at Three Oaks Behavioral Health & Wellness. I am devoted to building rapport and creating a safe space for all clients to address their challenges in an environment that fosters vulnerability, creativity, and confidence. I incorporate Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and a holistic approach to my therapeutic practice.

The ideal client is one who is curious and willing to explore new and different options in their life. Their issues could be life stressors, poor relationships, self-esteem, family conflict, trauma, substance use, codependency, setting boundaries, mood disorders, anger management, bereavement, spiritual issues, depression, anxious, parenting issues, needing coping skills, ADHD, adjusting to life changes, poor sleep habits, help setting self-care goals, feeling stuck in life, sad or lost. The client may simply want someone to talk with, to feel heard, to know they're not alone and help take back control in their life.

I am Rachel Baker, licensed clinical social worker and cancer survivor, who is intentional about prioritizing you! Are you experiencing fear of failure or fear of success, the need to always be on the go, emotional eating, difficulty sleeping, gastrointestinal problems, or a lifestyle that is not meeting your core needs? These symptoms indicate that mental wellness should be an area of focus in your daily life. Our mental health can be put on the back burner, but today you can choose to refocus on that part of you!

Addressing challenges in our personal life is not easy. While a common reaction to difficulties and challenges is to attempt to avoid them, it seldom solves the problem. Friends can help with some struggles in life, while other challenges need unbiased, emotional support from a professional. I utilize compassion and practical feedback to help you effectively address these difficulties and challenges. My style of therapy utilizes an eclectic approach to personalize and tailor the therapy to your needs. I help individuals and couples recognize and build on strengths to attain growth and help facilitate change to enrich your life.

Do you need help understanding how your thoughts and emotions might be affecting your current experience? I specialize in helping clients ages 12 and up work through depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, burnout, low self worth, and overwhelm. Together can work to shift unhealthy beliefs and patterns, learn tools and strategies to help you feel calmer and more in control, change habits that no longer serve you, and tap into a deeper understanding of who you are now and who you are becoming. You are more than your challenges. We all need support at times to navigate the healing journey in order to feel whole and balanced.

Doing it yourself, does not mean doing it alone, it means bringing in the resources that will assist you. I invite you to let me be your resource. During 20+ years of experience as a therapist, I have assisted hundreds of individuals and couples in making the changes and choices needed to create and sustain more fulfilling lives and more joyful, peaceful intimate relationships. I offer insightful, supportive, and interactive therapy blended with resourceful, practical suggestions that can help you heal life's hurts, like yourself more, adjust to life's transitions, and develop improved communication skills and relationships.

Video on Website Link - not currently accepting new clients- I believe life should be a lot easier then it is. We all get pushed past our limits that challenge who we think we are. The pressure changes us into different people. How do we get past reacting to life and get on to living life intentionally? The answer is not easy, because there are many factors that fracture our attention, steal our resources, and prevent progress. My job is to help change these factors to set you up for success and aid in defining what success means for you.

Working the last three years in Mental Health and addiction, I have learned to motivate people to develop a plan to change their life. My experience is working with adolescents, young and older adults who approach struggles differently. Each person culture has sculptured their beliefs and how they face new challenges. By collaborating with individuals, the focus is to help them gain personal growth. Sometimes it may be difficult to share your struggles with a stranger. It is good to have someone to listen and provide support to guide us through the process.

Are you or your teen feeling overwhelmed, stressed, or anxious about life, school, relationships, college/career, motivation, communication, and overall emotional health? Are you seeking help for your teen to build self-esteem, resilience, coping skills, and gain knowledge, to help them navigate their world which can be filled with so much uncertainty. I am passionate about helping adolescence and young adults find meaning and direction in their lives while supporting them through what can feel like the most difficult life transition - becoming a financially independent, confident, balanced, happy and healthy adult.
