Today is your day to make the decision to be a better you! Are you just existing and not living? Do you feel like something is missing? Do you feel like you are free falling? Is there an elephant in the room that you have not addressed? Are you losing a battle with your mind everyday? Do you feel stuck? Allow me to help guide you through these things. Just know that you are not alone and even the toughest warriors need strategy to fight through the war. Together, we can face these battles and find victory in blooming into the person you are meant to be.

It is anxiety-provoking to put ourselves in a position of vulnerability and open up about our struggles. I believe taking this risk can be well worth it if you connect with the right person. As a therapist I am someone who will listen to you with respect and provide validation of your emotional experiences. I will also encourage you to consider alternative ways of interpreting your experiences. I am someone who has had her own challenges with anxiety and depression and grew up in a family with their own mental health issues.

Anyone can benefit from taking a step away from the chaos and listening to their bodies and the help that it is asking for. Through soothing and tactile sessions such as painting and sand, calming music and a lot of plants, let's figure out why we feel angry and what we can do instead of yelling. Why we are self-harming and what are other ways to manage? What is the root of the family fights? Parents, let's find something different to do because at the end of the day, I know you want happiness and love. Come as you are, and you will be welcomed. I embrace all with a warm heart, an open ear and with hot chocolate :)

I earned both my undergraduate and graduate degrees at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC. I have experience working with children, teenagers, and adults in the mental health field. I have worked with children, parents, and families. I have worked with crisis clients and am interested in trauma work. I specialize in working with teenagers and young adults who have experienced trauma and are experiencing depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, increased anger, and life transitions.

As a therapist and fellow “in-progress” human I believe that we are all constantly growing and changing through many seasons. Some seasons can feel like they last a lifetime, but no matter how difficult the season or how long it sticks around, I believe no one is without hope. I strive to instill that hope and confidence in you and create a space where you feel comfortable navigating tough questions, big emotions, and difficult situations.

Howdy! I'm Russell Davenport, LPCA. My background in counseling ranges from working with clients in inpatient hospitals to providing intensive in-home services to families. I have worked with children ages 6+, adolescents (usually male), families, couples, and adults from various cultural backgrounds and situations. I have assisted clients with overcoming anxiety, depression, and suicidal thoughts; anger management and oppositional-defiant behaviors; strengthening and repairing relationships; decreasing risky adolescent behaviors; school issues; parenting skills; supervised visitation; and general phase of life concerns.

I aim to create a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship while my clients work toward wholeness where they feel wounded. Symptoms of anxiety or depression often usher us into difficult life change that can eventually lead toward improved emotional health. I work from an eclectic theoretical orientation using attachment theory, Internal Family Systems, Narrative-Focused Trauma Care, and faith if clients desire. I utilize Strengths-Based theory with teens, which is an evidence-based approach to suicide prevention. I specialize in teens and work well with high-performing women who struggle with anxiety.

Nature's Way Holistic Counseling offers clinical mental health counseling with the addition of a health and wellness framework that connects the body, mind, and spirit. We believe in the term "holistic" counseling because our minds are not independent of all other aspects of life, but is dependent upon the complex, interconnected factors of life, including the food we eat, the environment in which we live, and the content we consume. Although some counseling services address these topics on some level, there is a gap in the field of practitioners offering such a comprehensive evaluation.

I enjoy helping adults, college students, and young adults who experience depression, anxiety, self-harm tendencies/suicidal ideations and adjustment struggles. In the therapy space, I value the importance of having your feelings and experiences validated. When it comes to a typical session with me, we will discuss what is important to you while integrating therapeutic skills you can use outside of our sessions. I am pretty laid back and although I am here to aid you in learning skills and more about yourself, I will lean on you to be the master of your own life.

Historically, I have worked mostly with adolescents confronting issues with anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and self-esteem, while in an outpatient setting. However, I have also worked with adults ranging from 21-60+ dealing with substance use issues. As a school counselor, I’ve worked with elementary aged children, dealing with a range of issues. I am confident in my ability to serve each of the listed populations. If you or your child have goals to become the best version of yourself, learn to confront ongoing mental health struggles, and desire to learn to live at your best “post”-pandemic, please reach out to me.

Are you in a season where you are struggling with issues related to trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety, or major life changes? Are you trying to figure out what's next? Life is full of many seasons  and some are harder than others. It's time to pursue your healing and wholeness! My ideal client is between the ages of 15-25 years old and are struggling to find themselves in this crazy world that we're living in today. They may be facing some anxiety, depression, suicidal ideations, addictions, and/or trauma symptoms and trying to heal from the inside out. I also work with adults, families, and couples.

Is your child or teen struggling in school or at home? Are you struggling to manage your child or teen's behavior or your own reactions to his/her behavior? Do you struggle to communicate with others? Are you overwhelmed and finding it challenging to manage life's demands? Are you seeking to understand yourself better, improve your communication with loved ones or your relationships with them? Have you had childhood trauma or a recent traumatic event that is still impacting you in the present and you wish to heal? If so, I'd love to help.

Trauma doesn’t often show it's effects immediately or plainly. It is often hidden in patterns of sleepless nights, negative thinking, anxious worry, and feelings of despair and emptiness. It casts a long shadow that begins to de-color every aspect of life. Activities that were previously enjoyed are scheduled less often. You've noticed not only effects but that it has changed who you are. You’ve noticed that the way you feel about the world & others is very different. The thoughts you have about yourself are no better. And every part of life is categorized by whether it happened “before”. “Before the accident, before the bullying".
