Therapists in Yadkin County, NC

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.

Families come to me because their child or adolescent is struggling, and often times they don’t know where to begin to make things better. I work with children, teens, their parents, and young adults (up to age 25). I initially focus on learning about a person's challenges and strengths. Then, together we develop a plan for gaining mastery over difficulties, achieving goals, and ultimately reaching a child, teen, or early adult's potential. Often challenges feel overwhelming when first seeking help, but most families find initial sessions to clarify goals while also setting the stage for long-sought change.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck in a rut, lost, or hopeless, I can help you find a path to feeling like a happier version of yourself again. I help clients feel at-ease enough to be themselves by approaching therapy with a non-judgmental, genuine, and relational approach. I work primarily with pre-teen girls, teenage girls, and young women, as well as members of the LGBTQIA population. I also specialize in psychological testing for individuals age 6 and older, including testing for ADHD, autism, and general questions of finding the right diagnosis and treatment.

I have experience with supporting neurodivergent individuals across the lifespan, but have specialized in supporting pre-teen, adolescent and adult clients. I am skilled with using evidence-based practices to build social and emotional skills, self-awareness and self-advocacy skills, as well as support executive functioning, attention and processing differences that neurodivergent individuals may experience.

As a psychotherapist, I am passionate about empowering others to move towards the future with clarity, confidence, and serenity. My practice, The Peace Space Therapy, centers around helping clients challenge maladaptive thoughts and behaviors that interfere with their pursuit of a more peaceful, authentic, and aligned life. I hold a Master's in Clinical Psychology and have over ten years of professional experience in the mental health field serving child, adolescent, and adult populations.

Your child may not be exactly in sync with the world around them, facing challenges like Olympic-level fidgeting or having challenges socially or academically. They may feel frustrated, isolated, and misunderstood, with their behavior being challenging and intense in how they relate to others. Such behaviors can create a rollercoaster of emotions, not just for them but also for you as their parent. As they navigate the ups and downs of their social and academic world, it can become downright overwhelming. These behaviors are not fleeting phases; it's their way of saying, 'Houston, we have a problem.'

I provide therapy and assessment services to individuals of all ages, having worked with children from age 6 through adults into their 60s. I am committed to making therapy or evaluation a positive and helpful experience for all of my clients. My work with adults has included: depression, anxiety, couple's issues, physical symptoms of stress, family and peer relationships, assertiveness, weight issues, life transitions, and parent coaching. In addition, I have extensive experience working with survivors of trauma, to include adult sexual trauma, adult survivors of child sexual abuse, and post-traumatic stress disorder in both veterans and non-veterans.

With over 25 years of experience, I subscribe to a solution-focus philosophy, in which I strive to address the problem with you as quickly as possible, but with enough depth to avoid relapse. I set goals early in treatment with adults and couples, or with children/teenagers and their families, so we can find successful solutions and change behavior problems, emotional difficulties, academic difficulties, or family problems as soon as possible. I love people and people's stories, and am always truly and deeply interested in the story of every child, teen, and adult I meet! I also think laughter is therapeutic and therapy can be fun.

In 2011, I decided to start studying to become a therapist after working as a classroom educator for 16 years, because I saw the failing of the educational system and the struggles of the family system. I started working as a therapist in 2016, and today, we all face a variety of emotional issues that are difficult for to express, name, and discuss. Many people feel as if no one is listening or will listen to them, especially adults on the Autism Spectrum who already struggle with communication. I want to help empower all people on the Autism Spectrum and their support systems.

Hello, I am a Board Certified Licensed Professional Counselor in SC and NC. I've spent several years working as a Licensed Nurse and LPC. I work with all ages; children, teens and adults, couples; excessive worry, depression, mood, impulsivity, ADHD, social anxiety, other serious emotional disturbances. Always emotion focused and person centered and/or trauma-focused. We each have a voice and when life is hard, sometimes we don't always feel we can speak up. In therapy we will find your voice and hopefully you will feel you can talk about the things going on in your life in a safe space, never with judgement.

Looking for answers? Seeking a solution for you or your loved one? Learning difficulties, focus problems, emotional challenges or feeling as though you or your loved one aren’t living up to potential? Let’s have a conversation to determine whether a psychological assessment or therapy will help you get closer to your goals. While the new school year brings a fresh start and great intentions, it can often be very frustrating when that is not enough to create lasting change. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Learning Disabilities, and Psychological Disorders often adversely impact one’s ability to function and thrive. When these challenges are not adequately addressed, it can be disheartening when so much potential is hidden beneath the disorders.

I offer tailor made counseling services, including traditional & psychedelic therapy as well as coaching, to those experiencing life's difficulties. My compassionate and non-judgmental approach is predicated on offering helpful direction towards specific, realistic, client determined goals. I am very comfortable working with individuals or couples of all ages, veterans and business executives. My approaches based on individual client expectations and needs.

At Abilities Reimagined, we specialize in testing for learning and behavioral disorders such as ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, autism, anxiety, and more. Our assessments extend beyond a one-time office visit. We prioritize capturing the most accurate daily picture of your child's abilities.

I provide psychological evaluations for all ages, for issues such as ADHD, learning disorders, autism, behavioral struggles, and AG/early admission to kindergarten/home-school assessments. I also provide individual therapy for children and adolescents for issues such as anxiety, behavior struggles, and academic strategies. My therapy approach tends to be cognitive-behavioral, but I'm committed to suggesting the most up-to-date, empirically supported treatments.

I specialize in treating the educational, behavioral, and emotional concerns for children as young as 3 through college age. Within the context of both testing and counseling, I am committed to helping parents with concrete advice and suggestions to better manage their child’s difficulties with anxious feelings, depression or grief, acting-out behavior, inattention, and learning disorders. My goal for the counseling or testing process is for the process and the results to be presented in clear, helpful, and practical ways so that children and their parents can be helped.

My passion centers on the ways in which early relationships, life experiences and cultural contexts shape our worldviews and impact our choices, coping and performance. I also focus on the interplay between the mind and the physical body, and the ways we can use this connection to increase well-being and overall functioning. Over the past 15 years I have worked in various academic medical institutions and hospitals (UCLA, CHLA), using research-based interventions to guide individuals (children, youth and adults), couples and families in working towards agency, personal growth, positive change, insight, and adaptation to life events.

I'm a therapist because I value complexity. We each have our own vision for a life that feels vibrant, authentic, and fulfilling. As your therapist, it's my job to walk with you through the process of learning about yourself, growing, and getting more of what you want out of life. I work primarily with queer and trans people age 16 and older but offer therapy services to clients of all backgrounds. I also offer autism and ADHD assessments for adolescents and adults.
