My name is Brianne Hawkins, but I go by Bri. I have been in the "helping" field for over 20 years. I have worked with a wide range of clients, with a wide range of needs. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 8 year of experience. I have been professionally trained and continue to take trainings on the latest models and improvements to treatment. I work from a CBT model, CBT stands for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, this means that I focus on thoughts/thinking styles and how they impact behaviors/actions. I also work from a humanistic approach that focuses on self-efficacy, and self-actualization. I have a true passion for working with women, survivors of trauma, and those coping with anxious disorders ( Anxiety, Adjustment, Panic, and PTSD). I utilize tools like mindfulness, meditations, relaxation techniques, and cognitive restructuring to assist the people I work with. My personal style to therapy utilizes humor, solution focused, attainable baby steps to bringing about change in your life. I am here to support you, until you have the skills to support yourself in your natural community. I am down to earth and truly believe that you are the expert on you, and I am the expert on methods and tools that can help you! My typical availability is Monday -Thursday; 9am until 1pm (with some variations 10-3 during the summer).

Welcome! My name is Linda Schelander and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in the state of North Carolina. I have a Masters degree in Counseling from Southwestern College in Santa Fe, NM and I have been working in the mental health field for over twenty years. Thank you for taking that courageous step to engage in counseling. I strive to build a comfortable, trusting relationship with each one of my clients; building a therapeutic relationship that feels SAFE is one of my top priorities. My approach to therapy is primarily client centered as I believe each person is the experts on his/her/themselves and their lives. I believe that clients determine the direction and depth of the therapy. I use several therapy approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps you explore thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that might be leading to an unproductive life and/or keeping you feeling stuck emotionally. I use trauma-based therapies as well as mindfulness based therapies to assist you in coping with and managing the symptoms of depression, anxiety, PTSD, poor self image, grief and loss, overwhelming stress, major life transitions, and more. I can provide you with tools to improve your interpersonal communications with those close to you. At times, I will challenge you as I assist you in exploring who you are, and what you want in your life. My goal for you is that you be able to express your emotions fully, manage your symptoms, make needed changes, believe in yourself, and move toward the life you want. I look forward to working with you!

I began my working career as an elementary school teacher. Together, my students and I worked on academic goals. I soon noticed that learning issues of some of my students stemmed from relationship problems at home and at school. This effected learning behaviors often producing non-compliance, anger, depression, and anxiety for these children. These behaviors, sometimes with diagnosed or undiagnosed mental health issues, were usually not being addressed clinically and were taking a toll on their academic progress. I continued my education in counseling to better understand these learning barriers so that I could assist children and their parents. As I learned, I gained knowledge and skills to not only help children and parents, but also to help adults and families to navigate life’s problems and to attain their goals. Goals for the counseling process are associated with maintaining healthy relationships as well as adapting various changes that can produce a positive impact upon our lives. During therapy, my clients are made aware of the power they possess, how to dodge problems, how to accomplish goals, and how to perceive life in a positive manner. I now realize that I cared for my students more than for their academic progress. I cared about their personal well-being. I wanted them to feel productive and capable. I wanted them unencumbered by life’s problems but to have the resilience to overcome their deep seeded issues that affected their lives as a whole. I am interested most in sharing what I have learned to influence people reach their goals. It would be a privilege to assist you in this work.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina with 5 years of clinical experience. I have worked with various clients to include: adults, elementary, middle, and high school aged students. I have also worked in several settings/areas of social work such as: private mental health agencies, child protective services, hospital, group homes and public schools. I currently work with Veterans who experience: depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, various medical and psychosocial concerns as well as military sexual trauma. My areas of focus include: depression, anxiety, attention deficit disorder, attention deficit hyperactive disorder, medical/terminal illnesses, parenting concerns, anger management, relational issues, career/financial stressors and abuse/neglect/dependency/ foster care. I am very compassionate, energetic, and highly motivated to assist my clients with making positive changes to reach their desired goals. I utilize several therapeutic interventions and therapy modalities, as I understand what works for one individual may not work for the next. I am a strong believer that we all are unique and special in our own ways. We all have strengths and weaknesses that set us apart from others. I utilize therapeutic interventions derived from: cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution focused and self-centered therapy. My goal is to empower my clients to be successful, achieve their goals, and make progress in their specific area of concern. I am excited and commend you for acknowledging the importance of having support, guidance, and assistance with navigating life. I look forward to developing a therapeutic relationship with you and serving to empower you along this journey. You only get one life to live let's work together and make it the best!

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 30 years of experience in the Behavioral Health field. Over the years I have worked in many different settings ranging from Community Mental Health centers to private practice. I have worked with a wide variety of client populations and issues including depression, anxiety, relationship problems, codependency, addictions, abuse/trauma, anger management, stress management and many others. I am trained in best practice models including CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing and Wellness Management and Recovery to name a few. However, no matter how well trained and experienced I am, it means nothing if I am unable to empathically connect with my clients. This begins by recognizing and honoring the courage it takes to enter therapy and "bare your soul" to a complete stranger. I am naturally empathic and genuinely interested in others which I use to foster an environment in which my clients feel safe, understood and accepted. As a therapist I adhere to certain guiding principles such as the following: Each client is doing the best they know how. The problem is not that there is something wrong with them - it is that they simply are not aware of more effective ways to navigate life's issues or they lack the skills needed to do so; What is effective for one person, is not necessarily effective for another; Each person's solution lies within them and it is my responsibility to help them find it; and none of us received a "How to live life" handbook - Life is hard and messy and this means that none of us have all the answers including me! And so I view therapy in many ways as a collaborative process in which we work together to find the best ways forward. I don't see myself so much as an "expert", but rather as a guide imbued with knowledge and skills that can help a client find their own path to healing, health and recovery.
