Walkertown was named after Dr. Robert Walker, a resident of the area in 1771. Could Dr. Walker have known that all these years later his namesake would live on in this way? It’s interesting to think about the legacies we leave behind. Have you ever thought about your life and the impact it has had on those around you?

Sometimes these kinds of thoughts can be troubling, especially if we feel that we’re not living our life in the way we had hoped to. Many people seek the help of mental health counselors to help them sort through the issues that they would like to see resolved. Would a Walkertown- area therapist help you get on a track you’re more comfortable with? Consider reaching out to one of these professionals; your future is waiting.

Hi! Welcome to BetterHelp! I'm Jane. Congratulations on taking this step toward personal understanding and growth! It takes wisdom to identify that you could benefit from a professional's insight and assistance. It takes even more courage to actually reach out. Thank you for allowing me to be the person you trust. I'm an LCSW licensed in North Carolina. My education began with a Bachelors Degree in Psychology from UNLV. My MSSW came from University of Tennessee. My counseling work began in Memphis, TN and over the years I have worked with a wide variety of people ranging from children to geriatrics. The types of issues I have expertise in is also quite varied. From sexual assault to depression and anxiety to chronic mental illness to hospice, I've done it. The first thing of importance in counseling is developing a trusting rapport. If you are not comfortable, it's hard to engage and make progress. My general approach to therapy is one of figuring out what fits my client's needs. I don't fit you into my style; I make the style and intervention fit YOU. I’m a firm believer that the success of therapy is not that a therapist “fixes you” or tells you what to do. It is about a relationship focused on discovery and solutions. You are the expert of your life and it is up to you, with my guidance and support, to implement changes that will bring you to a more satisfying place in life. I want YOU to feel the pride of success in overcoming these challenges. You can do this!! I very much look forward to walking this road with you.

My name is Shannon Pena. I am currently licensed in North Carolina as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor-Supervisor and also as a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor. I have experience working with adolescents, children and adults with disability. However, my primary experience has been working with young adults. I also have extensive experience working with individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum disorder, anxiety disorders, and ADHD. My counseling experiences primarily include adjustment, normal situational, career, mild mental health, developmental issues, vocational and employment issues, behavioral issues, emotional and social issues. There are many different theoretical approaches to counseling. In order to address the needs of differing individuals, counselors should learn to adapt and use the approach most appropriate for the situation as well as choose what works best for the client. My approach to counseling is person-centered and integrative. It is very important to me to look at everyone’s unique situation and circumstances when determining what approach to take. Although individual counseling experiences may vary, goals will be set and worked towards throughout our sessions. Homework may also be occasionally assigned. It is important that during our sessions you share open and honestly and contribute to the counseling experience.

I've been licensed to practice psychology for over thirty years. I am retired from work for the Federal Bureau of Prisons where I worked with individuals (staff and inmates) experiencing extreme life circumstances as well as depression, anxiety and family issues. After I retired, I had my own business as a matchmaker, but found that I was missing my therapeutic work. I did learn quite a bit during my 4+ years as a matchmaker about what works and what doesn't work in the search for a life mate. This is an extra set of skills I bring to the table in working with folks. One therapy style does not fit all, so I work to tailor my approach to what my clients request and what they need. Sometimes a deep dive into the historic underpinnings of current life problems is warranted, but sometimes a problem-solving approach is appropriate. I work with people to figure out what their goals are for therapy and to tailor my interventions accordingly. I also believe therapy should not be like experiencing a root canal! I work to bring perspective to my clients and to help them experience joy even in the midst of difficult situations.

How does the cost of an in-person therapist compare to BetterHelp?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Walkertown due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for.

  • With a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • With therapists: $100-300

Is therapy worth it?

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based licensed clinician in Walkertown, North Carolina can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.
