Therapists in North Carolina

I am a psychotherapist who is licensed in Marriage and Family Therapy, as well as individual psychotherapy. I am a graduate of Northwestern University (Evanston, Illinois), The Family Institute at Northwestern University, and The Institute for Psychoanalysis (Chicago). I have been mentored personally by several of the top Family Therapy theorists in the United States. While obtaining my graduate degrees and certifications at Northwestern, I was awarded with an Honorarium to lecture and teach a 300 student 11 week psychology course at Northwestern because of my expertise in counseling. In addition, I have served as a faculty member at Lake Forest College, where I have counseled, taught, and supervised students. I have been a Clinical Fellow at the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy for over 20 years. I have been associated with Betterhelp since 2014. Tele-Medicine Psychotherapy allows my clients/patients more access to me through their virtual visits and unlimited email, which is far more helpful, convenient, and safe then weekly or bi-weekly office visits, as well as, less expensive in cost. My clinical experience includes, but is not limited to, individual, couple, and family therapy. The patients that I have successfully treated include people who present with issues relating to Life Transitions, Relationship and Marital Counseling, Child and Adolescent Issues and Concerns, PTSD & Trauma Resolution, Anxiety and Stress Disorders, Depression, Bipolar, Grief and Loss, Personality Disorders, Military-Veterans, Career Challenges, Weight Loss/Maintenance, Family Therapy, Family of Origin Healing, and Personal Growth & Self Awareness. I also work with clients who need assistance in life coaching. I am licensed to advise clients on issues and matters that come up as they navigate parenthood. My goals for each patient are individually thought-out according to a collaboration between patient and therapist. I can teach you how to become your own best advocate. My objective as your counselor is to assist in making you the best that you can be. I am extremely prompt in responding to all of the Betterhelp subscribers who are assigned to me. If you want my assistance on a daily basis, I am available to work with you. I am here for you as often as you'd like me to be. My objectives are to help you to exist in the environment in which you live and to assist you in getting to the next place in your life. For those of you who are in relationships that have ended, I will assist you with survival skills which focus on THE WHY, THE HOPE, THE WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN, and THE LETTING GO, a system that I have developed that has helped hundreds of my clients. The modalities that I use in my counseling approach are Psychodynamic, Family of Origin, Humanistic, Behavioral, Cognitive, CBT, Systemic, Solution Focused, Trauma Focused, as well as others. I set up a compassion-focused alliance with my clients. I offer Live Camera Sessions, Live Phone Sessions, and Email Chat Sessions, as well as continuous email communication, to my clients. The choice is yours. People start to heal the moment they feel heard. I look forward to joining with you as your counselor.

Hi! My name is Tracie. I have been working as a counselor since 2001. I have my BA from UNCW, my MS from ECU and a MDiv from Campbell. I love helping people work through stressors and problems so that they are able to move forward into the future that they are wanting. I provide individual counseling and family counseling for a wide variety of issues such as parent/child relationship issues, ADHD, depression, anxiety, self esteem building and improving communication within the family. Thank you for taking this step towards the future that you are wanting! I look forward to talking more with you!

Devoted to not only assist you in embarking on a journey of self-discovery, but also, ways in which you can best utilize the gifts that you possess! I am an ambitious, strength based counselor yearning to change the ways that we view mental health. I graduated from Lenoir Rhyne University where I obtained a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, as well as a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. My professional credentials include Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Oregon, Qualified Supervisor (QS), Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS), and Certified Clinical Supervisor (CCS) in the state of North Carolina. My expertise stems in the treatment and management of co-occurring disorders, of which include experience in working with low motivation/self-esteem, life adjustments, trauma-related difficulties, anxiety/depression, substance use difficulties, as well as aspects of various mood and personality disorders (borderline, narcissistic, etc)! Although I consider myself to have knowledge in several treatment interventions, I utilize a combination of strength based and behavioral interventions, of which include Solution Focused Therapy, Reality Therapy with Choice Theory, as well as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (CBT/DBT). My approaches to counseling are grounded in holistic wellness and choice theory. Holistic approaches include inquiry about different aspects that make up your life and that you believe contribute to making you well or less well. These areas are integrative health approaches that focus on mental, body, spiritual, emotional, and connection wellness. I also harness skills to allow for further assessment and inquiry surrounding informed food choices, potential food allergies, as well as supplementation to aid with mental health improvements. Choice theory is an approach that focuses on our motivation to pursue a never-ending quest to satisfy 5 basic needs woven into our genes: to love and belong, to be powerful, to be free, to have fun and to survive. I encourage all individuals to lean into the collaborative process between therapist and client to find solutions to better your mental health. This therapy pursuit also facilitates a process of taking responsibility for the perceptions and responsibilities of choices in your life. I adopt philosophies that adopt a bio-psycho-social lens to most assist individuals in taking ownership of their lives once again.

Hello! Congratulations on taking a big step to feeling better and reaching your goals. Reaching out for help may come easy to you, or it maybe you find it challenging - either way, I hope you are proud of the work you've already put in just by getting to this point. Finding a therapist who is a good fit is so important! Here's a little about me: I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of North Carolina. I've been practicing for 15 years. I have worked with all ages across the lifespan, from young children to wise adults, and in a variety of settings including private practice, inpatient hospitals, community settings, and more. I have worked with individuals, couples, and families with a wide variety of needs and diagnoses such as depression, anxiety, stressors and life transitions, grief and loss, ADHD, substance abuse, relationship and marital issues, and parenting struggles. My current specialty and interests include depression, women's issues including pregnancy and postpartum, life stressors or stage of life changes, and marriage/relationship or family issues. I would say I am open-minded, enjoy humor, and am a glass-half-full but still realistic thinker. People tend to describe me as a having a calming presence, a positive thinker, kind, encouraging, and dedicated. I would describe my therapy style as validating, holistic, and honest. I want to hear your story, and I want to hear your goals! I'm here to validate you, encourage you, and cheer you on. But, I also believe my role is to challenge you to think differently, or try things differently in order to help you achieve your goals. Doing the same thing over and over again won't help you reach your goals, so I'm here to help unpack why you may be feeling stuck, or think about ways to overcome the difficulties you are facing. Sometimes this means taking a look back to see how patterns developed that led to being "here". Other times, it means being future-oriented to come up with solutions. I also think it's important to look at the whole person - mind, body, and spirit. Usually if one part is off, it is probably affecting another part of your well-being, too. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all model for therapy, and each problem and each person has a unique need and solution. To get technical, I tend to use therapeutic models including CBT, Solution-Focused, and Humanistic, as well as Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Gottman Style Therapy for relationship work. If you're looking for a therapist who can support you, see you holistically, but also be honest and challenge you, and you aren't afraid to put in some work to reach your goals, then we may be a great therapeutic match. I hope to talk with you soon!
