During the course of our lives we experience many joys and hardships, and along with them the full range of human emotions. Each moment and feeling is an opportunity to better understand self, other, and the world. Your painful feelings may be signals that old wounds need to be acknowledged or that your truth is not being lived fully. If you are currently struggling to cope with life challenges, feeling unfulfilled or seeking personal growth, the therapeutic relationship can provide an open and nonjudgmental atmosphere to explore the body and mind in a safe, comfortable space. View 8 Photos I work with adults and couples impacted by childhood trauma, intrusive thoughts, anxiety and panic, relationship issues, codependency, identity confusion, low self esteem, and grief/loss. I believe therapy is useful for everyone, whether you are struggling to cope with general life stressors or want to work on becoming your best self. I discovered early in my career that traditional talk therapy doesn’t work best for everyone. I draw on ancient practices, Eastern medicine and evidence-based research to awaken your innate healing potential. If you’re ready to try something different from traditional psychotherapy, I may be a great fit for you!

Out of network provider for all insurances You're tired. You have to carry BIG emotions all the damn time with no outlet to let them out. You cry when you’re alone, but put on a smile so the world can’t see you're hurting on the inside. There is no time to slow down because slowing down makes the inner critic grow louder about how awful you are. Perhaps you get some release through disordered eating, but ultimately, that voice comes right back again. The inner critic makes it hard for you to accept yourself and love your flaws. It makes it hard for you to live your life intentionally, with confidence in yourself to use your voice. Everyone deserves to live a life they're excited to wake up to. Therapy helps with this. It allows you to show up and be your authentic self while healing that inner critic who causes guilt and shame. You don't have to save face. The journey may be tough. However, taking a step allows you to get closer to the resiliency you seek and break the cycle. If anything above resonates with you, I see you. I've been in your shoes. I look forward to helping you become the best version of yourself. All you have to do is show up and I'll walk the beaten path with you. Just call or schedule at (www.ashleyhoseycounseling.com). I'm an OON provider but ask about superbills and other payment options.

I specialize in trauma resolution therapy: my practice focuses on resolving painful issues from the past that keep you stuck in repetitive cycles of negative behaviors. Do you ever ask your self "Why can't I just stop doing that?" or "Why do I keep attracting the same negative people in my life, over and over again?" I provide an atmosphere of safety and attuned communication where we are able to address both conscious and unconscious issues in order to uncouple traumatic events that have overwhelmed the mind and body, allowing healing to occur. Lasting change only occurs when the body wisdom is involved in the therapy process. Change is about working with biological mechanisms that underlie our emotions and feelings. I specialize in working with male survivors of abuse: (Physical, Sexual, Emotional, and Neglect), which result in unsatisfying and unfulfilling relationships, domestic violence, anger, substance abuse, sexual addictions and other compulsive behaviors. I also work with anxiety and depression, PTSD, GLBT issues and dissociative disorders. Military welcomed and honored.

My clients- bright, innovative thinkers, held back by things they can’t think their way out of. To others, they’re leaders, experts, visionaries, and healers; but on the inside, they silently suffer with change, negative belief-systems, unexplainable feelings, upsetting memories, or hopelessness. They want therapy that works, with a MH Professional as motivated as they are, to drive the results that will justify their investment in it. Goals involve dissolving and recycling corrosive thoughts, feelings, and experiences, to improve daily functioning, maximize performance, and make self-care a necessity, as opposed to a luxury. View 3 Photos I help motivated people feel unstuck, using EMDR to reprocess nitty gritty details of experiences that shaped their identities. My inspiration- witnessing what more externally successful people can do, when they finally believe in themselves, as much as they do their specific skills and abilities. Here, find out more on my Insta, reprocessingtherapy Since time is our most valuable, nonrenewable resource, I offer therapy on weekends. If you're ready to commit to next level, weekend self-care, reach out. Counseling that's on your schedule, is just a call or text away.

Like you, my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, afraid, and stuck. You may feel frustrated that you have already had therapy and done a lot of work, yet find yourself in the same patterns that you want to move beyond. You may feel unfulfilled in your relationships and wonder if things can get better. You might even notice a pattern or theme in your relationships that you need to make sense of. You may struggle with a harsh inner critic and have a difficult time building a positive relationship with yourself. You might feel hopeless because you have felt this way for a long time with little relief. I truly believe the emotional distress you are trying to work through is stored in your body and you need an approach that offers deeper healing than talk therapy alone. My focus is to provide you with a safe space to explore, heal, and navigate your relationship with yourself and others in your life. I specialize in attachment, relational, and developmental trauma. I blend somatic and cognitive approaches using my training in NARM, attachment theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Brainspotting to help you have more ease in your body and in your life.

There are good days, bad days, and days that are completely overwhelming. You have never thought so much about your body in your life, and now you struggle with it every day. You remember when you trusted your body. There were times when you felt ill, but you recovered before. Now, your medical team is telling you that there is no going back to how things used to be. You are angry, you are frightened, you are hurting, and your loved ones are, too. Nobody seems to know exactly what to say, or what you need. It feels like a bomb has gone off in your life, and you are sifting through the rubble. You are taking your medication, going to your appointments, trying the treatments you've been offered. And yet, you find yourself dwelling on what has happened in your life. Others treat you like a novelty because of what you've been through, or avoid you, or don't seem to notice at all. All of this feels strange. You're not sure what normal is anymore. It may feel as though you are your illness, right now - as though your medical diagnosis is what defines you. There is more to you than this. A cure may not be available, but healing is still possible. Please reach out at ginkgoleafhealth.com to learn more.

You already know yourself very well. And because of this- You are looking for a different kind of therapy space. You are seeking a space in which you can find humor, grace, and wonder while navigating this human experience. One in which your intuition, spirituality, and inner knowing will be honored and used as a tool to transform your lived experience. A space where context matters and is used to create new perspectives and deeper understanding. A space to unpack your stories, unravel your deepest beliefs, and become friends (yes… I said friends) with your inner shadowy parts. I specialize in therapy for those who want to know themselves better and dig deeper into (and change) their own limiting stories. Those who want to go on the courageous inner journey of experiencing being in connection with another while discovering their deepest self. Clients describe my presence to be grounded, connected, and REAL! (I mean, this growth shit can be messy and kind of suck- right?) My approach is integrative- emphasizing depth psychology, attachment, examining family and cultural beliefs, connecting to your spirituality, mindfulness, and psychotherapeutic reiki.

Having worked in a variety of settings, including 15 years in wilderness therapy, I've found that there is something wonderfully inviting about working together in quiet outside spaces (or utilizing teletherapy in these times of Covid-19). Optimally I help clients utilize their individual strength, values and insight to help find a more peaceful state of mind and lifestyle. As human beings we are meant to build meaningful connections, and sadly there are an overwhelming number of deterrents to building those relationships with self, others, community, etc. We can and will tackle those difficulties together. I specialize in working with adolescents, tweens, adults, couples and families. I am accustomed to working with clients struggling to find their way through issues such as depression, anxiety, attachment, loss, bereavement, substance abuse, negative body image, self-injury, behavioral struggles, relationship strain, and kids facing issues at/with school. Making the decision to prioritize yourself, or the well-being of your child, is a brave and vulnerable place to step into. My goal is to earn your trust and to help you feel supported without judgement from the first moment we connect. I'm creative, flexible, and love this work we can embark on together, at a pace you're most comfortable with.

I’m Christy. I am a dedicated therapist, a loving mother, a sister, and a good friend. I provide individual counseling to adults who are in search of peace and relief from symptoms related to mood instability, anxiety, relationships, life stress and/or trauma. As someone who has been through hard things and who has an intimate understanding of how difficult adulting can be, I approach my work as a counselor with genuineness, compassion, and encouragement. I believe in a person-centered and solution-focused approach where we work together to identify your goals and to develop a concrete plan to accomplish them, at your own pace. I draw from the techniques of Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, as well as utilizing powerful frameworks for gaining self-awareness, like the Enneagram. Because we are all complicated beings, I believe it’s important to explore the whole person, including the thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that influence how we show up in our work, relationships and daily lives. I received my undergraduate degree in Anthropology in 2001, and completed a Master’s Degree in Community Counseling in 2007. My experience with direct care has been primarily in the public mental health system supporting adults who were experiencing a mental health or substance use crisis. I then spent many years working with large behavioral health providers in Western North Carolina. Shifts in my life have brought me back to what feels most fulfilling, helping you lead the life you want to live. My hope is that during our work together you feel safe, seen, and free to say whatever needs to be said to improve your life in ways that feel important to you.

Lets explore your life experience in a new and exciting way. I see suffering as an opportunity to break free from old patterns, habits, and ways of thinking that are not working for you anymore. It's a call from deep inside saying, "something needs to shift". This shift can come from exploring a relationship to a substance that you are using, and the pain, anxiety, depression, or a general sense of not loving your life that may come with it. Your unique journey is here right now, and experiencing it from a nonjudgmental perspective can be a vital ingredient to moving past whatever is holding you back from living your best life. View 4 Photos As a licensed clinical addiction specialist, I'll assess your issues and make recommendations of how I can help you through somatic experiencing, a body-oriented and mindfullness based approach. I also treat co-occurring mental health disorders that may be present along with a substance related issue, or help you navigate a family members addiction. It takes a village.... I regularly suggest other methods of exploration based on YOUR interests and beliefs, such as solo time in our floatation tank, massage, workshops, alanon, AA, NA, meditation retreats, prayer. Lets get together, develop and work on your personalized plan for you to achieve long lasting and life loving change!

Real change is possible. Successful therapy explores human life in its fullest sense - what we do, what we think, and what we feel - while being grounded in the deep experience of living in a human body. My primary therapeutic framework is called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which provides a rich, evidence-based, blend of mindful and somatic interventions, along with a strong cognitive and behavioral orientation. Together, my clients and I examine our deepest values, and how those values are expressed in how we live each day. Our lives are not problems to be solved - they are opportunities to flourish. Do you struggle with anxiety? The good news is that with the proper treatment, real and lasting change can be achieved - often without the use of medications. There are proven methods to help turn anxiety into an ally - a resource for growth and self-discovery. I use these methods every day and I would be honored to share what I have learned with you. I treat anxiety in its many forms, such as panic attacks, OCD, loss and grief, PTSD, social anxiety, generalized anxiety, existential questions, midlife issues, adjustment disorder, and good old-fashioned stuck-ness. Again, real change is possible, I see it every day. Very often in life, the treasure is buried beneath the wound.

I love working with both adults and adolescents 13 years and up, especially folks who identify as BIPOC, queer, and trans, and individuals in non-traditional, non-monogamous relationship structures. I am LGBTQ+ affirming, gender celebratory, poly affirming, kink and BDSM affirming, and sex-work positive. My specialities are trauma work, depression, anxiety, and supporting folks who are moving through difficult transition, who are exploring their gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation, or who would like to get clarity on their life path. I believe in our capacity to grow and change, especially when we find ourselves in spaces that are supportive, where judgement has no place, and we can safely engage with all parts of our self. I use ACT to help clients develop psychological flexibility, and Somatic Experiencing to support a deeper connection to the healing power of our bodies.

Engaging in therapy is an important commitment and can be difficult to fit in with the rest of life's responsibilities. Perhaps you've tried therapy before and found it unhelpful, or worry that constant engagement in therapy is required for lasting change. Trying to cope with the aftermath of trauma, or the way anxiety symptoms can disrupt a day, or having the same fight again and again with a partner can seem to take all of your energy and motivation. Life is often stressful and chaotic, and the times when we feel most stretched thin are the times we need the most support and change. I believe the best outcome of therapy is graduating from therapy - knowing you now have the tools to do what YOU want to do in life. I have spent most of the first 10 years of my career as a Psychologist in the VA, which has allowed me to obtain expert training in effective therapy protocols that produce quick, lasting results - so you can get on with life. Your goals are reachable - we just need to find our way there. Every person's path is different, and I look forward to walking with you on yours. I use effective, proven tools from CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based approaches to guide both individuals and couples toward their chosen destinations. Please reach out to me today for a free 15 minute consult.
