Therapists Beginning With H in North Carolina

If you are experiencing symptoms of sadness, worry, hopelessness, or just needing to find direction in your life, participating in therapy can be eye opening and restorative. We are here to help with various issues including trauma related stress, parenting or work related stress, marital or even the concerns that you've struggled to pinpoint. Therapy can help you to identify and work through negative thought and behavior patterns that have left you unhappy and dissatisfied.

My goal as a therapist is to work for and with clients to help them to become well-balanced in all areas of life. It is my goal to help clients identify their own values, strengths, and needs while creating a trusting therapeutic relationship. It is my goal to provide clients with an environment and a platform where they can tell their stories without feeling judged; regardless of gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, or cultural background. It is my goal to help reduce the suffering or distress that clients experience and to help instill hope and optimism.

So many of us feel stuck in life. Burdened by the weight of our personal history, and constrained by our fears and self-doubts about the future, it can feel increasingly constricted. We struggle to find our bearings as we're confronted with the consequences of prior choices, many that don't make sense to us when we look back at them. Therapy allows you to slow down, to lay everything out before you. It's a chance to honestly and compassionately address the parts of self you'd like to change and to remember and reclaim the parts of self you've lost, particularly the ones that made you feel alive to the possibilities of what could be.

I work best with an individual client, couple, or the family of a child or adolescent that recognizes that what they have been trying to do to deal with their life or behavioral issues is not working well, and they are now open to finding understanding, and trying new approaches to old, or recently acute problems. My experience has been that most couples really want to save their marriage or other family relationships and will do the work necessary to build a new and loving relationship.

I believe that each person is unique and that their story is their own. I do not know what you are experiencing at this time, however, it is my goal to understand what you are experiencing by listening to and learning from you. I believe that we can work together to establish a working relationship that feels safe while promoting healing and growth for you.

I am a Licensed Psychologist with 23 years of experience helping adolescents and adults who are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-doubt, overthinking, and dissatisfaction in their relationships. My style is down to earth and practical. I want you to have better management over your mind as quickly as possible. Our meetings can vary from developing deep emotional understanding and self-awareness, to practical coaching on how to feel your feelings without wallowing or how to manage your thoughts without fighting them. I will work collaboratively with you and I consider us co-captains on your self-improvement project.

I am a licensed LCSW, LCAS, and CSI, and have been a social worker since 2014. I have worked with many individuals, to include people struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance abuse. As a queer cis woman, I specialize in serving the LBGTQIA+ population. I have a laid back approach, and believe in the importance of building rapport with the people I serve. Life on life's terms can be challenging, and you do not have to face it alone.

I specialize in wholistic trauma therapy for adults who want to understand and resolve the ways their past is affecting their current relationships, jobs, and life roles. On the surface, you might be holding it all together. And at the heart of it, you're stuck - not feeling like your true self. Anger, depression, anxiety, difficulty focusing, overwhelm, and/or drugs or alcohol abuse might be more a part of your life than you’d like. This is not how you imagined it. You want, you NEED, to find your way back again.

I am a bilingual therapist (Spanish and English) who has a special interest in providing therapy to adults, teens, and tweens from a variety of backgrounds and cultures. Therapy with me can help with symptoms such as depression, trauma, anxiety, stress, grief, relationship problems, sleep issues, and any other difficulties you might be facing. When coming into therapy, you can expect a calm, welcoming, confidential environment where you can talk openly with a highly-trained practitioner.

Relationships can be our greatest joys, but when they aren’t working, they can be our greatest struggles. Whether it’s our relationship with our family, our partners, our friends, or ourselves, the pain of disconnection, confusion, hurt, and loneliness can often bring depression, anxiety and anger. And with this comes an experience of feeling alone and disconnected from ourselves and others. In my work, I help people change their way of being in relationship, learn skills to deal with what is going on in the inside and outside of themselves and not feel alone, but instead, a part of life and connection.

I am excited to connect and partner with you in coming back to self. When working with me to establish change and growth in your life, you can expect to have open and authentic interaction with me. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Work Associate (LCSWA) with 15+ years’ experience in mental health, social services, healthcare and I use my expertise to help guide you in the direction you aspire to go in your healing journey.

I work with adult men and women(ages16-99)struggling with sues such as anxiety, depression, and relationship issues, as well as those who have attention deficits. I also work with individuals struggling to find the big picture of their life, struggling to identify core values, and are “failing to launch,” having a mid-life crisis, struggling to adapt to retirement, or are having a crisis of faith. I work with older teens (16+) who are having school related problems, suffering from anxiety or depression, or have attention deficit disorder. I consider counseling a ministry to your needs above your ability to pay. My rates are low.

How long have you been trying to fit a mold that isn't yours? What if instead of focusing on change and “fixing”, you were able to show compassion for yourself and find true, genuine acceptance of the person you are? What if that’s where real change actually comes from? Maybe you're seeking a soft place to land and explore difficult situations without having to put on the "strong, brave face". I work to cultivate authentic connections with my clients where genuine acceptance is central. I love helping others shift into new ways of connecting with themselves and create meaningful paths forward.

My ideal client is someone who is struggling with an issue that feels too big to deal with by themselves. Whether it's anxiety, depression, dealing with the emotions and aftereffects of trauma, I would love for my client to be honest about what their needs are and how they want to grow towards healing.

Are you feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or traumatized? Are your feeling confused or misunderstood? Are you struggling with your thoughts and emotions and finding it hard to make decisions? Sometimes life becomes so difficult and overwhelming, we need someone who will listen and help us work through our thoughts, our emotions, and our struggles. I provide a non-judgmental, empathetic, and collaborative approach to counseling so you can discover yourself more deeply and learn to thrive, not just survive.

I take an active, collaborative, client-centered approach to therapy. I bring considerable expertise in evidence-based practices – techniques that we know work, based on decades of research – while treating YOU as the expert on your life and experiences. We work as a team to clarify what matters most to you, identify the obstacles getting in your way, and develop the skills you need to overcome them. Beyond alleviating psychological suffering and pain, my goal is to empower clients to build rich, meaningful lives and relationships.

I look forward to working with clients that are motivated to make a change in themselves and dedicated to the therapeutic process. I want counseling to be a warm, accepting, and open-minded experience for my clients and it is a goal I always strive for. I believe to make lasting progress in therapy, it is important to establish a strong therapeutic relationship with the client through genuine understanding, empathy and unconditional positive regard. I have experience working with individuals presenting with mood disorders, anxiety disorders, sexuality concerns, school and life changes, and acute and chronic trauma.

Clients who work with me are seeking a collaborative effort for wellness, open to mind / body approaches and a healthful path. Clients may be dealing with Anxiety or Depression, Trauma or Life Transitions (job related / relational / fertility / men's & women's issues / LGBTQIA+ / aging). You may be working to find peace & purpose in your life. I hope to help you in evaluating and processing internal and external barriers that may prevent you from actualizing authentic-self potential. We will do this work with psychodynamic and somatic principals. We will work together to provide applicable skills for meeting the goals we set forth.

Your story is unique. Inviting someone to know, share and explore your story in order to illuminate truths both wonderful and difficult is the courageous work of therapy. My goal is encouragement, growth and freedom for you. Returning you to a healthy balance in thinking, feeling, behaving and relating will be the focus of our work. I welcome individuals struggling with life transition issues, anxiety and depression, emotion regulation difficulties, work/life satisfaction challenges and relational issues. Marriage/couples work is welcomed.
