Therapists Beginning With B in North Carolina

I'm Alicia Renee Battle, owner and therapist at Battle Mental Health. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina. I believe successful treatment is rooted in a warm, supportive, and trusting relationship. From this foundation I utilize an open mind and non-judgmental stance to gain a thorough understanding of your experience. Together, we will explore and work through barriers to build endurance for the life you are desiring for yourself.

I work with individuals who are naturally curious about themselves and the world and who enjoy self reflection, personal growth and development. Do you feel like fear is holding you back from what you want out of life? Being able to open up about these vulnerabilities is challenging and involves deep exploration into the psyche. My intention is to create a safe, accepting container so you are able to explore all parts of yourself, welcome them and integrate them into your life.

I specialize in mental health, trauma, substance abuse, and co-occurring disorders. I am Certified in EMDR which we use to process memories that may trigger a trauma response or the desire to use drugs. Some of our Trauma/PTSD processing has included Sexual Assault, Grief, Domestic Volience, In the line of Duty-Service Workers, TBI, and the loss of Employment. I work with clients with Depression, PTSD, Anxiety, Bipolar, and Schizophrenia. My approach is tailored to you and your specific needs. What I have learned through life experiences is that overcoming these battles can be easier when you are not walking alone down the path.

Nurturing growth and transformation is what happens in therapy. If you are wanting to take steps in finding your purpose and meaning as well as developing positive ways to cope with uncomfortable feelings and challenges in life, then counseling can help you. I provide a supportive, caring, and compassionate environment. Together we will work on developing strategies and tools to help you feel better and make the changes you want. Progress not perfection!

My passion in life has always been to help and encourage others. Regardless of where you're at or what you're dealing with, there is always a way to overcome the obstacles life puts in your way. If you are dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, marital distress or any other life impacting situation, I can help. I am extensively trained in marriage and family therapy and I specialize in working with adolescents, teens and adults dealing with ADHD, anxiety and depression.

I am passionate about walking alongside clients on their unique life journey, while supporting and encouraging them to meet their goals. I am here to meet you where you are, and to see you as a whole person. I aim to empower clients by not just focusing on the problem, but on the entirety of the individual and their surrounding environment.

Are you anxious most of the time? Are you unhappy with your circumstances or relationships? Are you making a life transition? I am here to support you and hold space for your feelings and thoughts where you can feel safe and accepted. Together, we will explore and examine themes of: circumstances, control, identity, culture, and goals. When working with me, an emphasis on identity, inclusion, and acceptance is always on the forefront.

It is impossible to steer a parked car. Therapy, for many, is a way to press the gas pedal on a part of their mental health journey. Starting on unmarked and unfamiliar terrain is a daunting experience. Thus, Mary Elizabeth is passionate about providing an open and secure environment in which clients can authentically and safely express themselves. As the client steers their car, Mary Elizabeth partners with and journeys alongside her clients through a creative and compassionate lens.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or struggling to mend your relationships or marriage? If so, I want you to know that I understand the difficulties you're facing. It can be incredibly challenging, especially when traditional approaches haven't yielded the results you desire. Despite the tough moments, your presence here indicates a belief that positive change is possible, and I'm here to help you navigate that journey. I am dedicated to supporting individuals and couples dealing with anxiety and relational conflicts, providing a safe space to explore and overcome these challenges.

Do you often ask yourself, "why do I keep ending up in the same place?" "I feel overwhelmed or confused?" The voice in your head is relentless with the swirling negative messages and thoughts. "I am not good enough!". "I am such a failure". "I don't get nothing right". You spend your time trying to please everyone else by not letting them down, however, it is still not enough. You have done all that you know and you still feel that nothing that you do makes a difference. Hopeless thinking. You feel broken without a sense of direction. You feel confused. You feel what is the use in trying because nothing will change. Is this you?

I’m so glad you have found your way here! Children and adolescents can be difficult and teaching them valuable skills whether it be how to verbalize big feelings, coping skills, or building healthy and positive relationships with others can be overwhelming. Some children may be having a hard time and struggling with mental health issues such as anxiety and depression. Or your child may have gone through something hurtful and scary that’s affecting them. I can help assist your child with these issues and develop positive skills they need to live a happy and healthy life.

We commend you for making the right choice for you, to create the life that you desire by working through whatever concerns or challenges that you may be experiencing. We know that sharing intimate details about your life may be challenging, but it will be our pleasure to help you navigate your way through this process. We have over 30 years of combined experience. We have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, couples counseling, life skills development, parenting issues, career planning and coaching, ADHD, substance abuse, Military issues/concerns, sexual assault & PTSD.

We all imagine a life worth living. We hope to get up each and every day with a clear sense of purpose and self-worth. And sometimes, life becomes overwhelming. The day to day tasks of living may feel insurmountable, and we may even consider giving up or running away from it all. We are pulled in so many directions and feel out of the driver’s seat in our own lives. Relationships we once valued seem meaningless and activities that used to bring us joy no longer do. We need to be reminded of who we are and our value to this world. We all want to be heard, understood and validated.

Welcome! I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients ages 18 and up. Life can be difficult for people of all ages and stages of life. I am currently a Counselor at Southlake Counseling and appreciate working with individuals with anxiety, depression, adjusting, couples and families with relationship issues, women struggling with self-esteem, infertility, postpartum, eating disorders, survivors of sexual abuse and more. I utilize elements of person-centered therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, solutions-focused, and am learning more about the Gottman method in working with couples and DBT for individuals.

My clinical interests have grown from general therapy issues into more niche areas such as couples, anxiety, obsessive compulsive behaviors, career, grief, chronic pain, substance abuse, self-injurious behaviors, personality disorders, trauma, and faith-based issues. I have also expanded into psychological testing ranging from personality, differential diagnosis, pre-surgical screening (e.g., spinal cord stimulator implants, bariatric), and cognitive assessments. My experience also includes training medical residents, supervision of masters/doctoral students, consulting, and teaching at a collegiate level.

Are you struggling to reach your full potential? Is life beating you down? Is anxiety, stress, or difficulty focusing interfering with daily functioning? Has your self-esteem taken a hit? Do you need to feel heard and supported or maybe learn different ways to cope, because the coping skills that you've developed over the years no longer of service to you? Or maybe you're just feeling MEH! and want to improve your overall health....
