I’m here to support you in discovering what makes you feel better. I want to help you change your thoughts and behaviors to reflect the healthiest and happiest version of yourself. I know how scary taking the first step towards healing can be.

I believe that deep, integrated healing is possible for every person that steps into my office. Sometimes we need an outside perspective and designated space to focus on our healing. I hope to hold this space for my clients and would be honored to support you in your journey. Whether you are exploring aspects of your identity, seeking support in healing from personal, intergenerational, or communal trauma, in recovery from disordered eating patterns, exploring neuro-divergence, or needing a non-judgmental space that promotes personal fulfillment and growth, I am here to support your process.

I believe psychotherapy can be transformational. In my 20 years as a psychologist, I've noticed a few key components to my work: I approach every new client with unconditional positive regard. I am empathic and supportive, yet direct and focused. I use humor often and laugh a lot. I am an active, conversational therapist. I use a team-oriented approach and keep communication flowing between parents, teachers and counselors. I specialize in working with men ages 16+ for Depression, Anxiety, ADHD and Relationships. I am goal oriented, meet my clients where they are and love my job. I approach every client with kindness an compassion.

Welcome to my profile - I value helping clients work through current concerns, as well as past issues that can impact daily life. The approaches and techniques that I use are well established and chosen with purpose to fit the needs of each individual. I appreciate having the opportunity to help clients work toward and maintain positive changes in a safe, trusting environment where clients can discuss concerns at their pace. A blend of clinical and educational experiences at UNC Chapel Hill (BA, Psychology) and UNC Greensboro (MS, Counseling; PhD, Sport & Exercise Psychology) has helped equip me to work with a wide range of clients.

Welcome, I am Joseph R. Carlton, Owner and Therapist of Life Adjustment Solution. I specialize in therapeutic services for individuals, couples, and families. Families are the cornerstone for preserving the stability of mental health in today's high intensity society. Individuals, couples, and families are the foundation of building close emotional relationships across generations, ethnicity, racial and religious backgrounds. Each factor is greatly considered in Life Adjustment Solution mission statement. I am dedicated to changing our society one case at a time. Each case will be considered as important as the next. My clients will receive the therapeutic care that best fits their needs.

Accepting New Clients. As a counselor I operate from a Person-centered approach. This means I will work hard to create a warm, non-judgmental, and empathetic space for us to do our work. I am interested in the way you think and conceptualize things and we can use a variety of approaches based on your specific needs. I will provide warmth and respect in our sessions.

I empathize for today's teens & adults with depression, anxiety, substance use, & autism with the ever-changing world. We are faced with immediate decision-making & strain, which is not fair when we're trying to figure who we are, much less what they want to become in our adulthood. We typically feel lost, confused, misunderstood, or having challenges communicating to others their needs struggle and could benefit with supports in and outside our homes and schools. Also, as adults, we are not sure if we are being "the best parent." I want to help those with depression, anxiety, & ASD build connectivity within themselves and others.

Do you want to find a place where you can be authentic and feel safe? My desire is to provide an environment for emotional and spiritual healing. As a Christian counselor, I seek to weave eternal truths in with healing prayer in a way that brings about lasting change and transformation. I am a Certified HeartSync Minister and since 2010, I have taken a special interest in implementing the HeartSync method developed by Andy Miller, LCSW to bring lasting healing to places in the soul that have received trauma, emotional pain and deep hurts.

There are many important reasons why people choose to pursue therapy, yet all are driven to accomplish lasting change and satisfaction in their lives. Every person starts from a different place. Some come suffering, unfulfilled, or anxious. Some yearn for a discovery of meaning, wholeness, or personal growth. Often, people seek to become free of old patterns, achieve closer and more satisfying relationships, or find ways to just get unstuck. Wherever they find themselves, I am dedicated to helping my clients get to the heart of what troubles them so they can be free to live richer, more satisfying lives.

Welcome to Therapy! In order for us to create healthy change and live life on our own terms we have to be willing to become comfortable being uncomfortable. We are all capable of improving the quality of our lives when we learn how to embrace challenges and overcome obstacles/self-doubts in order to create opportunities. I provide a warm, safe, and supportive environment in which my clients can explore the issues and challenges they are facing.

Are you or your child in a confusing time that you just can’t quite figure out, or re-experiencing a traumatic event that continues to disrupt your life? With a decade of experience as a therapist working in a wide variety of settings, I use an integrated approach including CBT, EMDR, faith-based, psychodynamic and others to treat multiple issues including anxiety, relationship conflict, depression, spirituality and more. My specialty is in treating grief and loss, which can come from not only death and divorce/break-ups, but by estrangement, disappointment, loneliness and many other experiences in life.

Peace, my name is Calvin Walker and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor based in Charlotte, NC with a practice that extends to surrounding counties. I am particular sensitive and empathize with individuals facing moments of transition, like a move to a different area, job loss, and break-up. In addition, I have an extensive history or working with individuals coping with trauma, depression, self-doubt, and anxiety. I am genuinely dedicated and equally passionate in wanting to be of service in helping my clients achieve success by finding emotional balance.

I often tell my clients that life is full of VUCA: Volatility. Uncertainty. Complexity. And Ambiguity. If your're feeling stuck, or anxious, or overwhelmed by VUCA, I'm here to help you. As a mindfulness-based therapist, I listen keenly. Guided by an understanding of your needs. Our journey can take many forms. You may learn new coping skills, unravel unhelpful thought patterns, or learn to let-go of the habits no longer serving you. No matter the direction, feel confident in knowing that grace, grit, and wisdom are the forces that will lead you to healing.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! With over 35 years of mental health and substance abuse counseling experience, I believe that anyone can make changes necessary to improve their mood, relationships, and quality of life. My focus is on helping you, your partner, and your family implement practical strategies to solve problems, reach goals, and create lasting change. Areas of focus include helping couples improve communication and avoid patterns which result in conflict, and helping people with behavior, anger, or mood issues. I work with you in a safe, compassionate, and confidential environment, and respect of your needs and desires.

My name is Reed, and I specialize in substance use/abuse—including sex, gambling, and shopping problems, as well as bipolar disorder, eating disorders/disordered eating, ASD, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and anger management. Each session is highly individualized to your needs. Our sessions will consist of a partnership built upon mutual respect and understanding. I use a strength-based approach that focuses on personal growth. You have control over the direction of each session.

My passion for helping others stems from my belief in the inherent resilience that lies within every person. I am a firm advocate for de-stigmatizing mental health challenges and fostering an environment of understanding and acceptance. I understand that seeking help can be a courageous step, and I am here to provide a judgment-free space where individuals can explore their thoughts, emotions, and concerns. My approach to therapy is rooted in a combination of Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Trauma-Focused Therapy. I enjoy working with Neurodivergents.

Life knows how to mix up its pitches. The person we are today might not be the person we need to be tomorrow, or even want to be. I was blessed to play football collegiately and transitioning from my role as an athlete after school posed identity challenges, and gave me unique insights into redefining oneself. Helping you navigate life changes, and the anxiety that follows are my passions in treatment. Whether career shifts, relationship changes, or just plain old growing up and adulting: together we can work to transition with clarity and confidence.

As a counselor, my professional identity is one of authenticity, curiosity, and empathy. I care deeply about helping my clients improve their lives. I believe that starts with the two of us forming a genuine connection so that I can best understand your personality, your worldview, and the problems you are facing – the world can be a tough place and we all have times when we could use someone to listen and understand us. I will repeatedly check in with you to assess your goals for therapy and make sure that we are making progress towards meeting those goals.

Choosing the right therapist can be a difficult decision; especially when they're working so closely with you or your child. You want someone who listens, understands and hears your concerns but is also supportive and nurturing. Let me begin by stating that I provide a safe environment where I incorporate empathy, encouragement, and laughter as part of the therapy process. But most importantly I believe in building a relationship with every person is the key to the healing process.
