Hey stepmoms and stepdads, I’m a counselor here for you. Regardless of what people wish were the case, or think “should” be the case, the reality is being a stepparent IS different and with it comes unique challenges and frustrations, and unexpected advantages too. I am here to help you walk through the unique emotions that stepparents often report experiencing: isolation, grief, feeling misunderstood, feeling like a stranger in their own home, and feeling invisible. We can navigate some tricky family situations together so that you have a greater sense of peace and belonging in your family and in your home.

Feeling more depressed or anxious than usual? Dealing with trauma? How about that argument with your family or loved one? You have so much on your plate, between family, work, and attempting to have some kind of social life, that you have forgotten YOU.

There is so much beauty in being honest and vulnerable. As a therapist, it is a privilege to be able to create a safe space for my clients—a space that gives them an opportunity to build strength, awareness, and resilience. Seeking therapy does not indicate failure or brokenness and I would be honored to walk alongside you as you navigate your life journey. I specialize in trauma, grief, depression, and anxiety of all ages. I have certifications in Brainspotting, EMDR and TF-CBT. I am also an Associate Partner Trauma Therapist through IITAP which enables me to help betrayed partners navigating betrayal trauma.

Are you feeling lost, stuck, or unfulfilled? Find yourself escaping into repetitive and self-defeating patterns of thought and behavior? If you are experiencing depression, anxiety, phase of life issues, problems with self-confidence or motivation, problematic alcohol or substance use, or just recognize that you may benefit from a supportive conversation with someone outside of your typical network of friends and family members, I would love to talk to you. My hope is that we can work together to help you create a life that you do not feel the need to escape from!

It has been said that: "God uses our deepest pain as a launchpad for our highest calling". However, a lot of the times we become immobilized by the pains we have endured. My goal in counseling is to remind believers and non-believers that there is hope past the pain, shame, and doubt they are experiencing; through modalities of individual, couples, family and pre-marital counseling.Do not let shame and doubt rule over you any longer but instead gain insight and authenticity as you understand your Creator, your process and yourself more fully.

Are you feeling lost, or overwhelmed by changes in your life? Life was not delivered with a book of instructions. It can be challenging, disappointing, stressful, and even lonely at times. Each of us has to make sense of our world. When things don't make sense we experience anxiety, depression, anger, confusion, stress, or other difficulties. Therapy is directed at helping each individual or couple become more effective at dealing with and developing coping skills so they can better manage their own unique life situation. Each person is unique; therefore, we will work together to craft a specific plan designed for your needs.

I am Fanicy H. Sears, owner, of eMotion Therapy. I am a certified Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapist, Board Certified Telemental Health Therapist and Psychedelic Integration Therapist. My goal as a trauma therapist and psychedelic integration therapist is to help individuals who experience treatment resistant mood disorders and complicated grief obtain relief and rediscover a new sense of normalcy. I provide Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy, a therapeutic approach that utilizes ketamine (a physician prescribed anesthetic) to help rebalance the brain and accelerate the therapeutic process through psychedelic integration.

Now accepting BCBS Insurance. You’re on call 24/7, always needed, always giving. While caregiving is your passion and your calling- you're just exhausted. You want and need to be there for the important people in your life. You've dedicated yourself to helping clients, customers, family, friends, or patients in need. But somehow it's simultaneously fulfilling and draining. You need a vacation. But who needs those anyway? You'll be okay... right? Giving is a noble value. It is so important to leave this world better than you found it. But you can't pour from an empty cup.

Oftentimes in life we feel at a standstill as to what to do next. It can be overwhelming and difficult. Whether it be a transition to a new life stage, working on our self-esteem or processing any of life's unexpected changes. I like to work with client's and their families to navigate through these challenges in proving warmth and acceptance as well as meeting my clients where they are at. As a counselor I work to connect with my clients and empower them reach their individual goals.

I believe that people are born with enormous potential! That said, sometimes situations occur in our lives which directly or indirectly impact the pace at which we may reach that potential. When people are able to identify at what point they stopped being an author in their lives, they can go back, pick up the pen, and begin re-writing their story. I bring an eclectic approach in moving us forward (EFT, DBT, CBT, among others) in consideration of identified goals. I regularly serve therapists, bariatric clients, men/women with perinatal struggles, couples, and individuals struggling with anxiety/OCD and/or depression, among others.

Telling your story takes tremendous courage. In my work I am constantly humbled and honored to receive those stories. As a therapist I work from the premise that people are deeply complex and multilayered beings. Our past, our present, and expectations of our future dictate how we navigate life's inevitable challenges. Because our lives are a constant state of transition, we have the opportunity to learn from the past and navigate our present through awareness and understanding of ourselves, and others. I feel it a great honor to support people in their transitions, and foster their awareness and growth.

I utilize different approaches to help clients achieve self growth and to build better relationships. I provide a safe space for clients to explore their inner world to accomplish high self worth, competent boundaries, secure attachments, and individual purpose. I explore spiritual, mental, emotional and family dynamics with my clients to get to the root of any life stressors. I hope for my clients to experience inner peace and clarity after each session as they continue towards a journey of self-awareness. Practical and existential practices are utilized to bring about confidence and high self-esteem to achieve the client's goals.

My ideal client is someone who is looking for support with taking the next step in their lives. They are looking for someone to help provide them the tools to take that step and support them in accomplishing their goals.

I have a lot of passion for working with individuals impacted by addiction, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, adjustments to major life changes & events, relationship issues, codependency, family of origin trauma, and various other complex trauma. Through mindful-processing and awareness-building, I will help you build a foundation for healing as we carefully identify the 'not so great' parts of your life and then pair curated and evidence-based skills and solutions to life's stressors. I want to help you find self-empowerment in your therapy journey and offer you my support as a Safe Space for All.

Many people believe therapy is a quick fix, or more accurately that a therapist can “fix” us or our problems. In reality, therapy is a process that can take time, but most importantly, hard work.

Learn how to connect as a family? Find a new normal after divorce? Heal from a loss? Navigate the waters of being a teenager and managing your parents and teacher's expectations?
