LCMHC, 3 years of experience
Hey there, lovely souls! I'm Saphire, a Mental Health Counselor here in Charlotte, NC. With a burning passion for mental well-being, I'm here to guide you toward a life filled with strength and fulfillment. I believe that life can be incredibly difficult to navigate, and sometimes we struggle to figure out what direction to build towards. Even more so, sometimes the lessons we learned in our past do not apply to the lifestyle that we are living today. This makes it difficult to succeed in all areas of life and to feel secure in ourselves. I hope that through therapy, personal effort, and hard work we can create a life that we feel proud of. If you have ever asked yourself the following questions, therapy may be for you. Are you struggling in your relationships with family, partners, and friends? Have a difficult time managing work stress, more so than normal? Are you trying to avoid burnout? Does anxiety show up more often and make you feel overwhelmed? Are you too depressed to enjoy the things you used to enjoy? If you answered yes, then Therapy may be the best fit for you. Let's embark on this transformative journey together! I received my BS from the University of South Carolina Upstate in 2018 and received my MA from Webster University in 2021. I am currently licensed as an LCMHC in North Carolina. When I'm not empowering my incredible clients, you'll find me immersed in the captivating world of anime or grooving to some soul-soothing tunes alongside my amazing husband and our sassy feline companion Niko. Join me on this adventure of self-discovery and let's unlock the secrets to a truly vibrant life! 🌟✨
As a passionate therapist, my mission is to equip you with the tools to conquer life's challenges and navigate its unpredictable twists with unwavering confidence. Together, we'll forge a therapeutic alliance that empowers you, respects your journey, and fills your heart with hope for a brighter future. You deserve to feel safe, accepted, respected, and comfortable as we work toward your well-being. Your voice matters here.
I use a variety of evidence-based approaches and will select the one that best suits your specific situation, needs and goals. I gravitate towards using Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy approaches. Often, we will use a mixture of these approaches to create the perfect fit for you!
My biggest strength as a therapist is my ability to feed our therapeutic relationship. Therapy is not always an easy thing to begin and continue, but it helps to have someone that you can trust and get along with in this journey. I enjoy working with depressive and anxiety disorders, as well as life transitions. I also often utilize homework assignments to continue the growth outside of our sessions together.
