I provided counseling for adult individuals who are chemically dependent, I have worked with Children ,Adolescents and Adults in Family Treatment Centers providing, Individual, Family and Couples Counseling. My counseling approach is to enter into a professional therapeutic relationship with (you) the client in which (I) the Professional Counselor assist you in exploring and resolving challenging life issues. I believe that the Professional Therapeutic Relationship between client and therapist is the key variable in facilitating positive changes. The counselors techniques utilized will vary and will be based on the information gathered in the clinical assessment. You will work with your therapist to focus on your needs and develop your treatment goals. It is imperative that you be involved in the goal setting process to enhance your growth. To achieve personal growth it is necessary for you to assume responsibility for your actions, decisions, and behaviors. Therefore complete responsibility for the direction of treatment rests with you (the client). In addition to this the outcome of your counseling depends on your compliance and progress in treatment. My theoretical orientation involves an integrated approach in which I provide therapy based on the theory and techniques that I believe are appropriated for your individual needs. My clinical practice involves the use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This therapy explores how clients think about themselves and the world and promotes clients’ acting on those cognitions through behavior in their daily lives. It involves the use of behavior assessment and modification techniques such as cognitive restructuring, positive reinforcement, modeling, contracting, relaxation training, assertion training, and self- management programs. Other counseling approaches used may include Adlerian therapy. This therapy explores how behavior occurs in a social context, family constellation and birth order, lifestyle and social interest. . In addition to this a career counseling approach may be used, and psycho–education. These approaches may include the use of techniques such as, encouragement, interpretation, immediacy, task assignments, substance abuse education, relapse prevention, catching oneself in old behavior and learning how to modify it, reframing, role playing and the empty chair. Issues that will be addressed by these techniques are early childhood experiences to include interpersonal violence, the impact of addiction on the family system, poor interpersonal skills, depression, recovery, anxiety, grief, anger, fear of abandonment and rejection, stress management and time

Hello! My name is Wendi D. Nixon, Ph. D., NCC, LCMHC, and I am a National Certified Counselor #54448 and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor #4201 with the state of North Carolina. I received my Master of Arts (MA) in Counseling in 1989 from Regent University and have worked for over 27 years to help individuals, families, adolescents and children recover from trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, abuse, and neglect. More recently, I graduated from Regent University with my doctorate in Counseling and Psychological Studies with a concentration in Trauma and Crisis Counseling in May 2023. I received additional training to be a rostered provider of Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in 2008 from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I received certification as a Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor (CTRI) in 2013 from the Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship, International, and since then have been helping children and adults recover from trauma and other mental health issues with my therapy horses at my in-person practice. I believe a client-centered approach is the most effective as you are the expert in how you think and feel. Finding the root of negative thoughts and feelings can be key to rising above places you may feel stuck or want to change. I am passionate about helping others find peace and healing through unconditional support on the journey to recovery. I have also focused on working with family issues such as parenting support, blended family issues, and adoptive family issues.
