Therapists in Bayboro, NC

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and Board Certified TeleMental Health Provider (BC-TMH) and have worked with teen and adult clients and families in capacities that span from basic case management to residential treatment for the past two decades. I have extensive experience supporting clients who are working through addiction (including process addictions such as gaming/screen, gambling or sex addiction), parents in need of support/parenting skills (including behavior management training), and co-occurring mental health disorders including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, ADD/ADHD, and other clinical diagnoses. I also enjoy working with clients who have experienced trauma, anger management, adjustment disorders, and overcoming unhealthy experiences during childhood. I call these clients survivors. I am not your best fit for personality disorders, domestic violence, or psychotic disorders in a Telemental Health platform. I am happy to help you find someone who is. My approach to counseling is client-centered. This means the way you and I work to achieve your goals may be very different from the way I approach my work with another client. We will work together to achieve the outcomes you desire to live a more healthy fulfilling life. My work with clients is strength-based, but candid. My goal is to help you be happier, healthier, and more fulfilled. At times this means tackling choices and challenges that are barriers to you meeting those goals. My work with clients is evidence-based. This means I utilize techniques and processes that are research-proven for clients working through concerns similar to yours. These techniques may come from a combination of counseling theories such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, and Person-Centered approaches. I'm so grateful that you're considering me for your therapist. If you choose me as your counselor, our first step will be to complete an "informed consent intake." This is best done live via video but can also be done through messaging. Once you have chosen me as your counselor you can schedule our first "meeting" or let me know if you prefer to stick to messaging. I'm excited to learn more about how I can help you achieve your goals!

Hi there! I am Alexandra Duffy a clinical psychologist with licenses in California, Massachusetts, North Carolina, and Washington. Thanks for taking a moment to learn how my counseling and therapy can be a useful tool for yourself or someone you care about. Therapy is a way to invest in yourself, have support during difficult times and deal with past issues that impact your current life and relationships. Together, we discover healthy ways to help cope with the unknown and things outside of our control. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, panic disorder, ADHD, eating /body image issues and Bipolar Disorder. I also work with students of all ages (and even parents) to address issues with learning, such as dyslexia, ADHD, learning disabilities and executive functioning issues (e.g., time management, procrastination, prioritizing work, regulating emotions, etc.), which can be especially challenging right now with Online and Distance Learning. I have extensive experience with the evaluation and diagnosis of ADHD, dyslexia and learning disabilities to improve overall functioning and also provide documentation for academic and test accommodations. My therapy style is warm, interactive and collaborative. I tailor our sessions and treatment plan based on your individual needs and take into consideration your prior experience with counseling. I utilize an eclectic style incorporating psychodynamic and evidence-based modalities including cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, and mindfulness-based interventions. I integrate healthy lifestyle techniques to improve emotional health and overall well-being by addressing sleep habits, exercise and eating patterns. I also help manage electronic media usage to find a balance between being informed and feeling worried or overwhelmed by the 24-hour news cycle and uncertainty in our lives right now. I earned my Doctor of Clinical Psychology degree (Psy.D) from the George Washington University and Postdoctoral Master of Science in Clinical Psychopharmacology from the California School of Professional Psychology. I completed a Post-Doctoral Fellowship at Harvard University’s Bureau of Study Counsel. I have worked in inpatient/residential treatment, private practice and as a Staff Psychologist at UCLA and the Georgetown University Law Center. Some of my clinical interests include identity development, perfectionism, mastering attention regulation concerns, and learning styles/strategies to improve academic performance. I am also interested in helping actors and individuals in the creative arts to improve self-awareness, explore emotions and use relaxation techniques in the creative process, as well as to cope with rejection, criticism and stress. I have taught workshops to improve self-esteem and reduce anxiety for students, professional and healthcare workers, as well as during the audition and interview process. I have enjoyed leading Finding Focus groups and the Art of Public Speaking wellness group. These skills and techniques are beneficial during individual counseling sessions as well to increase personal effectiveness.

My name is Tracy Lewis. I have been practicing for almost twenty years. I have a master's degree in Social Work. I am also a Certified Integrative Health Coach. I enjoy working to help people improve their lives. My favorite treatment approaches are Client Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Clients often know what they need. They just need someone to guide them to. In this approach, you act as an equal partner in the therapy process, while your therapist remains non-directive and not past judgments on your feelings. The therapist help guide clients to grow psychologically, become more self-aware, and change their behavior via self-direction. The Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-based approaches are designed to help clients deal with anxiety, stress and depression by teaching them how to develop their skills needed to stop negative or unhelpful thoughts and start thinking, feeling and behaving in more positive ways. I look forward to working with you to guide you to become a better you!
