Therapists in North Carolina

Hello, I'm Brenda and I've been a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina for 18 years. I've been working in the public mental health sector for a majority of my career. I graduated in 1997 from Edinboro University of Pennsylvania with a Masters in Rehabilitation Counseling. Prior to working in the mental health sector, I was a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor and assisted people with disabilities to find and maintain employment. I utilize a diversity of approaches in my counseling treatment as every individual is unique and has their own needs. The primary modalities of treatment that I use are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, motivational interviewing, and person centered therapy. I've worked with both individuals and groups during the course of my practice and feel both are helpful to work toward individual growth. I have a great deal of experience working with depression, anxiety, chronic illness, phobias, social anxiety, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and LGBTQ issues; however, I have also worked with other populations as well. The ability to succeed in therapy is up to you. I feel that I function as a catalyst to help you with making change. You've already started your journey towards change as you've started to seek out a therapist. Let's see what we can do together to help you achieve your success in life.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC), and a National Certified Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist. I have worked with client's experiencing trauma, grief, and life transitions that have resulted in increased anxiety, self-doubt, relational issues, and difficulty finding purposeful and meaningful living. While we do not push people beyond readiness, we challenge clients to explore readiness to process thoughts and feelings, such that they can explore new ways of living. In world where things change rapidly, unexpected things are happening that can cause acute stress or even trauma, the struggle to adjust can be extremely stressful, overwhelming, isolating, and often times frightening. The good news is, you are not alone with these feelings. I offer a safe environment where you can verbalize your thoughts and feelings and move towards healing. This is the first step to helping you regain a sense of power and transform your life. I am here to walk with you on this journey! I look forward to hearing from you soon!
