Male Therapists in North Carolina

Working with people in crisis is fulfilling. When listening to what people may be going through and enduring, it is heartbreaking but assisting them through it is great. Assisting others to find a "safe place" and know that they will not be judged is essential. People may be working through addiction issues and substance use problems. Helping others see a different perspective and how they may adapt and change is great. Also helping others address traumatic experiences and be in a different and safer environment is rewarding

Do you ever feel like no matter what you do, you will never be good enough? Is the weight of other people's expectations heavy on your shoulders? Maybe you are caught in the middle of a significant life transition and do not know which way is up. Or are you a person who struggles with things like ADHD, depression, or anxiety, and no matter how hard you try on your own, you are here right now reading this page because nothing you try seems to stick?

I specialize in working with those who wrestle with attachment issues, chronic shame, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and trauma. These issues may tie in to varying levels of substance use. Some of my clients have been in therapy before and have struggled to gain traction with their therapist. In session, I am focused on creating a space that is safe for my clients to take risks and uncover and explore their deep ways of relating in the world. Many of my clients are dealing with immense amounts of shame, confusion and low self-worth. For this reason, conveying a core message of compassionate acceptance and curiosity is foundational.

Are you experiencing a sense of disconnection from yourself and those around you? Do you often prioritize others' needs over your own? Are you questioning why life doesn't feel as fulfilling or joyful as you hoped? In today's uncertain times, many people are grappling with feelings of anxiety and overwhelm, unsure of how to navigate their relationships, careers, and overall well-being. Ignoring your own needs and neglecting self-care can have lasting consequences on your mental and physical health. I believe that achieving a better quality of life shouldn't feel like an uphill battle.

My ideal client is open to change and is committed to the process of the client/counselor relationship.

I offer counseling that allows the client to choose their path to more effective living by their own definition. If they haven't determined that definition, my role is to provide the opportunity to explore their options and guide experiences to facilitate reflection and action. I work very well with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, and related disorders. I also enjoy exploring the mind-body connection with clients experiencing eating disorders and other related concerns. As a veteran, one of my motivations to begin counseling was to support active service members, Veterans, and their families.

You're tired of feeling stuck, hurt, confused, and lost. Life has stalled out because of relationship static, family stress, anxiety, career crisis, addiction, lost hope, or past events that keep you running in circles. Each day feels like you're walking on eggshells. Sometimes you feel so cut off from yourself and those you love that you’re not sure who you are anymore, or if it's possible to figure it out. You wonder if things will ever get better and if living life with peace, joy, and renewed energy can really happen.

Coming into therapy is a bold move, usually preceded by trying other things first to address the problem(s). I’m curious about those things, and what examination of those efforts might do to reveal your own strengths in problem solving. I’m also curious about who matters to you, and what those relationships are like; how they provide support on a day to day basis, and during times of high stress. Perhaps exploring these topcis together can assist in establishing a positive direction for change, and add and ally for making those changes.

As a therapist, my passion is helping individuals find more effective ways to manage their thoughts, emotions, and behavior to engage with what they care about in life. Whether you are feeling stuck or simply looking to make a positive change, my goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can feel comfortable being yourself and exploring your thoughts and feelings. I specialize in working with college students and young professionals navigating anxiety, depression, relationship issues, parenting issues, and life and career transitions. I would be honored to work with you to help you achieve your goals.

I treat a wide variety of clinical disorders such as depression, anxiety, OCD, and personality disorders. However, I specialize in the treatment of addiction to drugs, alcohol, and sexually compulsive behaviors better known as “sex addiction.” The reason I don’t prefer that term is because it oversimplifies both the subjective experience and the symptoms. For example, overuse of pornography, or countless hours spent browsing single’s ads online doesn’t necessarily involve sex, but it can be compulsive.

Choosing a therapist is like embarking on a journey to a faraway destination.

Taking the wrong route can be disappointing whereas the correct route can be life changing.

Hello! I am a bilingual (English-Spanish) Latino Therapist based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I enjoy working with individuals (ages 16-35+) who are experiencing problems with anxiety, depression, interpersonal issues, trauma, male issues, low self-esteem, identity/cultural issues, acculturation issues, and family conflict.

We will all experience depression, anxiety, stress and trauma at different chapters of our lives. Occasionally everyone needs a professional counselor to talk out our problems and find real solutions for real problems. You have already made a big step by considering counseling; now make the next step by calling a licensed therapist. It is time to start the healing process at your own pace with a therapist's professional and confidential support. The best practice is to choose a therapist who has the clinical expertise as well as the real-life experiences who can relate to you on a personal level.

Bridging the potential within, along with opening our hearts and minds to all of life's possibilities is the underlying focus of my practice. I believe that therapy is a collaborative one with the client in which strengths within are identified, and assistance is given to help the person find their own inner solutions. Optimal growth and change is achieved by identifying and breaking down those obstacles that stand in the way of a persons true happiness and potential.

I am often asked why I chose to be a therapist. My answer is always the same. I understand what it feels like to go through something difficult, new, or challenging alone. Therapy is my passion, and serving as a guide/supportive presence to help clients reach their goals is my sole purpose in treatment. I believe that every client is an expert regarding their life experiences. Therefore, therapy is a collaborative effort, so I am always open to feedback from clients in order to provide the best service for each individual.
