Therapists in Fuquay-Varina, NC
Fuquay-Varina was born from the merging of two towns; Fuquay Springs and Varina. This was done in 1963 to create a more modern and professional town. Just like this town, we are also trying to make ourselves better. Going to school, college, and starting a career are some ways to build your life successfully but if you are suffering from depression or anxiety, this can affect all of these.
Talking to a therapist may be the last thing you thought you needed but it is becoming more common as people realize how many situations call for therapy. No matter what the issue, talking to a Fuquay-Varina mental health professional can help you figure it out.

I am a a licensed counselor in North Carolina, and have been practicing for 18 years. I have worked with adults in higher education settings and private practice. Common topics include disability related topics, wide variety of mental health concerns, and career related topics. I provide counseling specific to disability related issues such as diversity, adjustment, and legal obligations/requirements specific to ADA law. In my work with mental health counseling, common topics of focus are on stress management, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, grief, domestic violence, communication, work-life balance, general life skills, and academic success skills. I have more limited experience with career counseling, but do facilitate career counseling and am qualified to provide supervision from this perspective. I am certified to administer Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and other career inventories. My primary theories of practice most commonly include Solution-Focused techniques and Cognitive Behavioral strategies. I focus on the strengths within the client, promote empowerment, assist clients in exploring the answers within themselves, and utilize a strength-based approach and assignments. In line with CBT, I often assignment home work to clients in an effort to link sessions and continue work outside of our individual or group sessions. I also use role-play as a common strategy in session as well as exploring patterns of irrational or unhelpful thinking. I often utilize hand-outs for clients to illustrate various topics as well as serve as a resource for clients outside of therapy sessions. My counseling style is warm, collaborative and interactive. I treat all clients with respect, compassion and unconditional positive regard. I place high value on empowering clients and meeting clients where they are. I will individualize the treatment plan based on the goals explored and established with the client. Making the decision to attend counseling takes courage. Everyone deserve to be happy and healthy. Doing the work in counseling is worth the effort to achieve a better way of life. I'm ready to assist and support you in this journey.

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!
