LCMHC, 10 years of experience
Hello! My name is Jeff Helms. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor based in North Carolina. Additionally, I am a Licensed Professional Counsellor (LPC) in the state of South Carolina. I received my Masters from the Palm Beach Atlantic University and have been practicing for 10 years. I help adults struggling with depression and anxiety as well as trauma.
My personal philosophy of counseling starts and ends with giving you the space you need to express yourself in an environment of no-judgment, compassion, patience, and understanding. Working with me, I will be an ally walking along with you as you face and overcome past challenges and obstacles that have held you back. This time, with me, you will feel equipped and the confidence to cross the obstacle that held you back in the past.
My greatest strength as a provider is empathy. Part of my journey is dealing with depression and trauma and finding healing seeking counseling. I am very aware of the reality of diagnoses like depression, anxiety and past trauma but know it is possible to put in the work to process all of this in time and still thrive in life.
I love working with clients who ready to do the work to reach their goals. Over the years I have worked with clients from ages 10 to 80. The clients who, regardless of age I am best positioned to serve are ones who take responsibility and are willing to do what it takes to face past obstacles and move forward to create positive momentum. My clients are met willing to stay stuck and will do whatever it takes to improve their circumstances.
I have used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for clients to achieve personal goals and get the results they have been working toward.
I also incorporate other methods or counseling such as Adlerian and Reality Therapy to help clients process past traumas and obstacles.
