Welcome to The Family Doctor - my two specialties are Marriage/Family Therapy & Addictions Therapy. If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, couple conflicts or an addiction please give us a call. We can find you a solution for your struggle. We also offer educational seminars such as Parenting-Discipline and Boundaries, Addiction in the Workplace, Couples Communication, or Understanding our Family of Origin. We work with individuals, couples or families.

Life changes and challenges can cause feelings of depression, anxiety, confusion, and anger. There are times in everyone's life when reaching out can make a difference. You are not alone. It takes courage to take the first step in reaching out for help. Finding someone who understands in a confidential, safe, nonjudgmental and supportive atmosphere is important. We will work together to enhance your strengths, restore a sense of well-being and form a solid base for a long lasting positive difference in your life. I welcome your call and look forward to supporting and nurturing your growth and healing.

If you are grappling with issues related to gender identity exploration, sexuality, coming out, or navigating relationships, my practice is a safe haven for you to express your thoughts and feelings. I believe in the transformative power of therapy and the strength that comes from embracing one's true self. Humans need other humans, and you need a place of safety. Whether you are seeking support individually or within a relationship, I am here to help you experience the intricacies of your journey with empathy, understanding, and expertise.

There is a solution. There is hope. And there is healing. Anxiety, depression, disordered eating, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, disruption in relationships, substance abuse, and on and on. These are curable, changeable, healable issues. When you go straight to the root of the issue, you can bring deep, lasting change. And we now know that the root of every mental health disorder (and many physical diseases as well) is some form of unresolved trauma. Trauma refers to any moment in our lives that our resources were overwhelmed. Big or small, single events or years-long patterns-if we don't have the support to process it, we store it.

We all have parts of ourselves that we want to deny, run away from, or just ignore. But those are the parts that we need to get to know so we can grow and move on from our past hurts and traumas.  Ever feel like you have two sides of yourself that are at constant odds that stop you from making decisions and moving forward? Do you ever feel that you have become your anxiety or depression? Did you know that most of our behaviors; even the ones we don't like are meant to protect us.

I'm here to help you navigate the complexities of your mental health journey with a practical and down-to-earth approach. My primary focus is on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), although I do integrate techniques from other evidence-based therapies including EMDR, psychodynamic, and reality-based therapies. Picture me as your understanding guide, ready to cut through the noise and assist you in neutralizing the obstructions in your path. In our sessions, we won't just be talking; we'll be actively working together to shift those unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that may be hindering you.

Trauma leaves us feeling worthless, broken, and disconnected from our true selves. You may be fed up not knowing who you are outside of your relationship, or guilt over what happened to you. You may not remember how you got here. Either way, one thing is for sure: you're ready for some relief. You're ready to live in the moment and enjoy meaningful relationships without being triggered by your past. You're ready to wake up each morning with purpose. Most of all, you're ready to heal and love yourself again and face your future head on with a sense of hope and I can help you get there.

Feeling stuck and overwhelmed by traditional talk therapy? You are not alone. Hello, my name is Michelle and I am a Holistic Psychotherapist licensed in North and South Carolina. My approach to therapy is holistic and addresses all aspects of who you are as a person.  Holistic Psychotherapy gets to the root of what is driving the issue and helps foster the mind/body/spirit connection. I have an extensive background in treating issues related to trauma, chronic physical issues, anxiety, depression, and legalism in regards to Religion. There is HOPE.

Our definition of recovery is working towards our truest and highest self, not just working towards abstinence. We are trauma specialists in active recovery and focus on healing trauma while reinstating a sense of self. We believe that if you do the hard work, and you keep coming back, you will get better. Our therapists are relationship experts in developing the roadmap to other relationships through self.

As a counselor, my focus is always on you – your unique experiences, struggles, and aspirations. I believe in creating a safe, supportive, and compassionate space where you can explore your innermost thoughts and feelings without judgment. I see my role as a guide, walking alongside you as you navigate life's challenges and uncover your true potential.

Sometimes you fully embrace feeling different and awesome! But sometimes worries (anxiety) make your heart race, sadness (depression) dims your energy, and sleep feels impossible (insomnia). Maybe past hurts (attachment trauma) make connecting hard. You want peace, rest, and joy to unleash your full potential! Therapy helps by understanding and calming those worries, tackling sad feelings, finding healthy sleep habits, and healing past hurts. So you can shine bright, connect authentically, and live a life filled with more moments of happiness!

Now Taking New Clients! How are you doing today? I know at times things can be hard, but I am here for you. Let me help you deal with life's struggles and issues, and work on healing, growing, or in reaching your full potential. Therapy is not a one-dimensional place where you go to only talk about your feelings, but a place where you can holistically work on yourself. Therapy should be a safe place for people to understand themselves, unburden, heal, and morph themselves- all on their own terms. No matter what diagnosis or problem I guarantee I will go on this journey with you.

You feel disconnected from your life. Perhaps it’s a sense of numbness that makes connecting with others difficult. Or maybe it’s the constant feeling of being on edge, wondering what others think of you. You feel like no matter what, you’re just not good enough. Living through abuse can deteriorate our sense of self-worth. It’s important to know that it is never too late to heal from childhood sexual abuse. I recognize the profound impact that childhood trauma can have on our adult lives, often showing up in ways we may not fully understand.

I take a person-centered approach to assist and support clients to be the author of their own life on the road to self-actualization. I believe that the client is in the drivers seat as we collaboratively work towards living a life of healing and emotional freedom. I service individuals and families from ages 12 & up. I provide treatment for sex addition, grief and loss, psychological trauma, mood disorders, anxiety disorders and also provide support with navigating issues related to self-esteem and body image. I currently offer sessions on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, with morning and evening availability, via telehealth.

Whether counseling children or adults, my approach is rooted in empathy, non-judgment, and a deep understanding of each individual's unique strengths and challenges. In addition to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I am also trained in Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS), which focuses on identifying wounded parts and getting the Self to manage and unblend from its pain. Therapy can show us that all our parts are welcome, that healing is possible, and that alive and well at our center is a powerful, transformative, God-created core. In addition to my work with children, I am also certified in pre-marriage counseling.
