Therapists in North Carolina

Hi, my name is Chris McKillop and I am a licensed counselor in California, Maine and North Carolina. I currently reside in California. I have been involved in the area of mental health and developmental disabilities since 1993. I received my Masters in Counseling in 2004 from the University of North Carolina in Charlotte. I have worked in community-based settings, group homes and transitional housing settings, as well as working as a school counselor for 2 years and a Juvenile Court Counselor for 6 years. I strive to promote an atmosphere of trust and acceptance where clients feel safe, supported and validated. That trust and security will facilitate challenging thoughts, assumptions and beliefs that can be self-defeating and counterproductive to growth and having a life worth living. I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most important aspect of therapy, as it is the foundation upon which all other specific skills and techniques are based. Without that open and trusting relationship, the specific skills and techniques will be far less effective. I primarily use a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focus, with elements of Behavioral Activation, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I strive to be adaptive and flexible in approach, working with the client’s strengths to best address the client’s concerns.

Sara’s style of practice is warm and interactive, solution focused, strengths based/positive psychology and non-judgmental.

Hello! Thanks for stopping by! I am a Licensed therapist in California with 20 years experience in private practice. I mainly see adults. I work well with clients who struggle with anxiety, depression and stress related disorders. I also see those with addictions and anger. Through person centered, and focusing on strengths and solutions, I assist clients in exploring relationships among thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to aid in discovering dysfunctional thought patterns leading to self-destructive behaviors and beliefs. I am certified in Brainspotting, and have incorporated that into therapy. I am a recent transplant to California from Virginia.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and trained play therapist with particular experience working with young adults, parents, and families. The ultimate professional goal of my work with my clients is to facilitate positive growth and healthy adjustment to all of life’s challenges. I hold certifications in DBT, SFBT, and am currently working to complete certification in EMDR. I am also trained in ACT and CBT, and I integrate techniques and skills associated with these modalities into person-centered therapy. The theory supporting person-centered methods aligns strongly with my beliefs about people. I believe that all people are deserving of true respect, and are worthy of acceptance without judgment, and I believe that within a therapeutic relationship based on these positive conditions, people can hone the skills necessary to achieve emotional health and become truly fully functioning.
