Hello, my name is Cassaundra Peck. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in the State of the North Carolina. I also am a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist. I hold supervisory licenses in both of these respective boards. I have extensive experience working in the fields of addiction, domestic violence, and military issues. Ultimately, I believe foundation of any successful therapy experience hinges on the client-therapist relationship. I also hold a belief that ultimately it is our faith and the guidance of the Holy Spirit that produces long sustainable change. I take my relationships with my clients seriously and strive for my clients to experience me as warm and authentic. I welcome feedback from clients and a dialogue about what would be most helpful as we work together.
In our first session well will go over informed consent and a brief description of therapy. We then will identify what presenting problems bring you to therapy and talk about a plan that would feel most helpful.
I feel like you will find me to be warm, receptive, and authentic. I do not believe that because I am a therapist I am above anyone or have any answers that you don't also possess. I see my role as that of someone to come alongside you in a season of life and provide a safe place for you to be seen and feel heard. I hope that as a fellow Christian I can encourage you in your faith and point you back to the one who truly holds all of your emotions and see all of your stress and pain.
I love to work with clients who are open to integrating their faith and the Bible into sessions. Because of my extensive experience I also am well versed in working with clients in the throws of addiction or victims of domestic violence. I think each crisis in our life is an opportunity to make changes. I think ultimately while we cannot see it now, there is beauty in the ashes.
I believe that true change can only occur at the heart level and that change is completed by Jesus. I view myself as a vessel to allow the Holy Spirit to work but ultimately believe that we can look to the Word of God and our faith for healing.
