Therapists in North Carolina

Greetings! My name is Sarah, and I am a North Carolina based Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have a passion for helping people reach their goals and gain greater self-awareness. I have over nine years of experience working in the mental health field and six years of clinical experience. I have worked in a variety of settings, including outpatient clinics, in-home care, and in clinics specializing in sexual assault, interpersonal violence, homelessness, and addictions. I have also had the honor of serving with fellow Soldiers in the US Army as a Behavioral Health Officer. Over the years, I've gained experience in treating a multitude of issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, marital conflicts, workplace and money difficulties, issues with body image, self-acceptance, and self-esteem. My approach is holistic, warm, and collaborative. I believe that you are the expert on your own life and I am here to work with you to tackle your problems head-on. I realize that there is still a great deal of stigma around mental health and it is my goal to create a space that is nonjudgmental and shame-free so that you may express your thoughts and feelings freely. Good luck in your journey, and I look forward to working with you! Note on my availability - I am currently only available on Sundays.

I graduated with my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University in 2010 and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in both Florida and North Carolina. I have spent a lot of time working with children and youth in the child welfare system as well as with families and helping to bring healing to the family unit while stabilizing whatever crisis the family is currently facing. I have also worked extensively with women who are survivors of childhood sexual trauma, individuals in the LGBTQ community, couples, and men with codependency and addictions. I am trained in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, MATCH (Modular Approach to Treating Children with Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, and Conduct), Multi-Systemic Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. My therapeutic style is focused on the individual client and what your needs may be at any given moment. I feel that, while we may be working towards long-term goals, there are times when other stressors may come up in your day-to-day life that need to be immediately addressed in order to refocus back on previous goals. My main goal as a therapist is to help you to feel better in whatever areas of life brought you in to seek therapy. Seeking out therapy is a brave decision to make for anyone, and I am happy that you are here to pursue healing in your life. My hope is that I will be able to assist you in helping you journey through your current life situation. Kimberly’s focus and specialties include: Depression Anxiety Self-Esteem Anger Management LGBTQ+ Oppositional Defiant Disorder Adoption/Foster Care Trauma and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Communication Skills

Hi, My name is Richard Sladich. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with over 4 years of experience working in the Mental Health field. Looking for help with social anxiety? Although I have experience in treating an array of issues, I specialize in the range of problems that exists from shyness to Social Anxiety Disorder. I know what it takes to treat Social Anxiety Disorder because I have overcome it myself. I also focus on the issues of generalized anxiety, panic attacks, phobias, agoraphobia, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), and/or depression. As your counselor, I will provide you with a safe, comfortable, supportive environment where you can express yourself without judgement or shame, and with acceptance. I enjoy working with clients regardless of race/ethnicity, religious beliefs, or sexual orientations. Working together we will develop your individual counseling goals and a plan to achieve those goals. I rely mostly on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, along with person-centered approaches. For those who have some understanding of psychological theoretical approaches, you might be interested to know the following about therapy with me: Many practitioners state that they use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when they actually use only a handful of CBT techniques. In my practice roughly 70% of my therapeutic techniques are from CBT, as I have found it extremely helpful for clients and for myself. I also rely on a Person-Centered (Rogerian) empathic approach to understanding each client. I often use Motivational Interviewing (Miller and Rollnick) techniques to help each client make their own decisions about how to reach their goals according to their beliefs and standards. I sometimes find it appropriate to utilize techniques from a “Here and Now” (Gestalt) or “Inner Child” (Jungian-and others) perspective. Cognitive features of therapy will include exploring your own thought processes. Behavioral aspects could include exposure to feared stimuli or situations. Other techniques could include progressive muscle relaxation, deep breathing, meditation, visualization, and reframing. If we are addressing issues of anxiety or depression, I will regularly ask you to complete “homework” as part of the therapeutic process. This could include anything from reading to behavioral practice in the community.
