LCMHC, 5 years of experience
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in the state of North Carolina and have received my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. Don't let that scare you. I do not judge and am easily relatable. I love working with clients who find themselves in a place where they have to make life decisions and help them think through what the best decisions would be.
I usually spend the beginning sessions getting to know you and what makes you tick. Then, usually in the first or second session, we can do talk therapy and help you learn coping mechanisms and assist you in your healing process. By the way, I offer Christian therapy, when requested. I do not pressure others, I accept unconditionally; no judgement at all.
I would think that one of my greatest strengths is that I do not judge others according to their past actions or what they are thinking. I tend to recognize how past treatment from others may have an influence in the client's current actions and reactions.
I enjoy working with high school and college students trying to find the career they want to pursue. I also love working with adults in learning coping mechanisms for anxiety, depression, and relational issues with others. Let me add that I also enjoy working with adults who are feeling stuck in their lives and wanting to find what their life purpose is.
Helping assist the client in changing thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes; providing coping mechanisms to target current thought patterns.
Helps to address the limiting affects of early attachment experiences that are negative in nature and help strengthen the capacity of healthy relationships going forward.
Use of Biblical Scripture for those who desire this type of therapy. Helping to increase client's faith in God and assisting client in learning God's will for them.
Adlerian psychotherapy is both humanistic and goal oriented. It emphasizes the individual's strivings for success, connectedness with others, and contributions to society as being hallmarks of mental health.
