16 therapists in Kentucky matching your needs

Hello, I'm Jay. I like to keep a flexible approach with my clients since every individual case is unique. Exploring relationships and how to build healthy ones (especially the relationship with one’s self) is typically a top priority in our sessions. Also, identifying and developing your values will be an important aspect of our work together. I’m a generalist and enjoy working with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, or relationship concerns. I'm confident we can find ways to create balance in your life and manage the ongoing stressors.

Hi! I am Dr. Lucas Hall, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida and Kentucky with 12 years of professional work experience. I have experience working with clients who experience depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, grief and loss, adjustment disorders, work/professional concerns and LGBTQ issues. My style is warm and open. I work to create a space in which clients feel empowered to be open and honest while working to identify areas of growth and change and to move towards those areas. It takes great courage to admit that you need help. I am here to walk with you on your journey toward change and improving your quality of life.

I have approximately 30 years of experience in virtually all clinical settings. I began my career working in a juvenile penitentiary (referred to as a 'youth development center) and after almost 6 years, left that setting and moved on to new opportunities. Along the way, I worked with group homes, foster homes, substance abuse treatment programs, and even provided treatment in a sexual offender treatment program. In 2004 I went solely into private practice and currently operate two offices. I also provided on-site services to businesses that suffer a death or other disruptive event; I have provided over 170 of these services in four states during the last several years. While you don't need any faith to see me, I also offer Christian Counseling. Finally, I am a US Army veteran and understand the challenges and needs of veterans. I operate under a practical approach that seeks to build on a person's strengths to achieve realistic, measurable goals. I utilize primarily cognitive behavioral therapy and reality therapy to help my clients achieve their goals and to live life more fully.

Navigating the ups and downs of life can be challenging. It helps to have genuine and nonjudgmental support along the way. If you encounter a fork in the road of life and feel unsure of which path to take, counseling may help you explore personal growth and positive change. In our busy lives, it can be difficult to slow down and truly connect with ourselves, our values, and our understanding of the world around us. I believe therapeutic change occurs when we let go of perceived pressures and expectations so that we may seek a better understanding of our authentic selves.

As a seasoned therapist my experience includes a wide spectrum of mental health issues. I have a network of physicians, mental health providers, and spiritual advisors whose counsel I seek to help provide the best care for my clients. It is my goal to lead clients to ask the right questions and help them find answers that will result in a positive, forward movement in the therapeutic process. My main focus is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but use other modalities when necessary to help clients achieve the change they are seeking. My practice involves, but is not exclusive to, marriage and family counseling, depression, anxiety, bipolar issues, LGBTQ issues, aging issues, workplace issues, mediation etc. I also provide faith based counseling when requested. My practice is open to all regardless of who they are or the issues for which they may be seeking guidance. My goal is to help clients move forward positively, finding coping skills that work well for them. If in the process I or the client determine I am not the right fit, my self esteem is not tied to it. I will help them find someone who may work better for helping them to achieve their goals.

Do you tend to put your needs and wants at the bottom of the list? Are you ready to commit to you? Together we will work side by side to help strengthen your confidence, awareness, insight, healing and make progress within yourself. As a Sex-positive, Kink-knowledgeable, Gender affirming, and Trauma therapist I understand that we are all different and provide a laid-back atmosphere. I focus on helping others build an understanding about not only themselves, their identity, their relationships, and the relationship they have with sex. Help others understand their trauma whether that be physical, mental, sexual, spiritual, etc. While utilizing evidence-based practices, I strive to support, encourage, and empower you. I view mental health as just as important as physical health. When an injury/illness occurs, seeking professional intervention, guidance, and support can improve overall wellness. Depending on your physical environment, social circle, culture, heredity, and experiences. Life can look limited. Let's continue to stay curious. There are options out there that do align with you and your values. Let's work together resulting in a healthier and happier you.

What would your life be like if the things that are causing you problems weren't so much of a problem? How much better would your daily life be if the raging wildfire of debilitating emotions and thoughts inside you was reduced to a birthday candle? Whether our work together is addressing years of trauma that impacts your present day or brief, solution focused interventions for a problem that requires decisive action; we will count on years of experience and training to help us navigate the issues you face. Together, we will identify your strengths, cultivate them, and work to set you up for a life of continued success using your definition of what success looks like TO YOU. After all, it's your life and you are the expert in how to best live it. My career has been dedicated to helping others, especially those who have struggled with trauma disorder, such as PTSD. For the last three years I have specialized in working with children and teens in the Kentucky Foster Care system. Before that, I spent years working with adults, teens, and children in the outpatient clinical setting, veterans in transitional housing shelters with trauma and substance use disorders, children and adolescents in a psychiatric residential treatment setting, and as a case manager linking families to needed resources. Now, I have decided to use my skills in private practice to focus on helping my fellow Kentuckians, especially those in Appalachia, have access to high quality care that they don't have to leave home to access.

Life isn’t always sunshine and rainbows; it can be filled with challenges, difficulties, and hardships. I believe that life is all about perspective and the way we react to problems. Our trials and tribulations are opportunities for us to grow into stronger and wiser individuals. When challenges arise, most people ask, "Why?" I encourage my clients to change their mentality by asking, "How?"—how can I use this to grow and learn, make myself smarter and wiser?" With 7 years of sobriety and personal experience battling my own challenges, I know how helpful therapy can be in helping a person rebuild their life and become the person they want to be. I am a firm believer in empowering clients with the tools and knowledge needed to live a more fulfilling and productive life.

This is not the life you pictured, is it? You know things need to change but have no idea where to start. Being a human in this fast-paced society is quite difficult and often times heartbreaking. I strive to place the therapeutic relationship as my primary focus, because until someone feels authentically accepted, change is not going to be possible. You came here to change things in your life but ironically, first you have to learn to accept who and what you are, right in this moment. I can help you get to that place! I mix science of the brain & body in combination with identifying the many loops and patterns we tend to get "stuck" in, to help clients achieve authentic change, and a more peaceful outlook on themselves and their life.

Hello, I am looking forward to working with you. I do not say help, I say working with, as we are in this together. I hope to be able to provide you with the tools and the skills that you need to overcome and deal with life on life's terms. I also am flexible with appointment times, my calendar reflects when I am able to meet with little notice.

I’ve been working as a licensed counselor since 2007. The first half of my career was spent working with kids in group homes and hospital settings. Most of my clients were kids in the foster care or judicial system, I’m trained in EMDR therapy. I have experience working with trauma, depression, and anxiety. The second half of my career has been working exclusively with adults. I have extensive history in working with the LGBTQ community. Most of my clients live at or below the poverty line. I enjoy helping clients problem solve and work through challenges,

Hello and welcome, First, I want to thank you for looking into therapy with me. I am so excited you are here! I am Anna Marie Bunch, a licensed therapist. Below you will find more information about my background, education, experience, and therapy approach. I am licensed in Kentucky and Ohio with 11 years of professional work experience. I have around 9/10 years of experience working as a private practice clinician. Before this, I worked in a men's residential recovery program for several years during my education and for around 5 years after getting licensed. This was a wonderful experience for me and taught me so much about life and healing. In my private practice experience, I have worked in K-12 schools, in the office, and via telehealth. I am an avid entrepreneur and founded a nonprofit company in 2016 that aims to reduce and eliminate treatment barriers for those facing obstacles in getting therapy and have also started several LLCs similar to that. I have a Master's of Education in Human Services and Counseling. I graduated with honors and hope to one day be able to study neuroscience with Dr. Dispenza. I consider myself a lifelong learner. I also worked as an Adjunct Professor for around 8 years teaching courses in Addictions, Social Work, and Human Services. If you decide to work with me you can expect unconditional love, support, and understanding. I provide constructive feedback, help you identify cognitive distortions or irrational beliefs, identify unhealthy behavior patterns, and/or assist you in identifying your part in things, but if needed, I will do so in a supportive non-threatening way. Often, I have found that most people know what they need to do and I have seen so many of my clients benefit by providing them a safe place to discover and solidify those answers just by simply listening to them and letting them process what they need to. If you do decide to work with me as your therapist we will likely begin by increasing the love you have for yourself. This is because a strong foundation of self-love, advocacy, and respect can be monumental in facilitating change. I have experience in helping clients with a wide variety of issues and circumstances. I believe that you are the expert on your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. My therapy approach generally consists of a strong foundation of person-centered therapy and then utilizing other evidence-based approaches with the most common being Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Strengths Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Therapy. I am also trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy which is an incredibly effective way to trat past trauma and future based fears. ART is an incredible tool I love to utilize with anyone who wants to try it. I am proud of you for taking this step and I am here to listen, support, and understand you no matter what your circumstances are. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started.
