Therapists in Winston Salem, NC

You're tired of feeling stuck, hurt, confused, and lost. Life has stalled out because of relationship static, family stress, anxiety, career crisis, addiction, lost hope, or past events that keep you running in circles. Each day feels like you're walking on eggshells. Sometimes you feel so cut off from yourself and those you love that you’re not sure who you are anymore, or if it's possible to figure it out. You wonder if things will ever get better and if living life with peace, joy, and renewed energy can really happen.

My passion is to bring hope and healing to the most difficult of circumstances. Are you suffering with depression or anxiety, going through a divorce or recovering from an abusive relationship? Are you struggling with addiction, grieving, or having trouble with your children/teenagers? Have you fallen out of love with your spouse? Do you find you are having the same arguments but nothing seems to change? Life can be difficult with a solution nowhere in sight.

Do you ever feel something is just off and you can't put your finger on it? Do you know something is wrong and you want to talk with someone, but you don't feel comfortable talking with your friends and/or family? Are you fighting anxiety, stress, anger, grief and maybe some other issues and you want to feel better? AW Counseling is a safe place to be able to come and talk out those feelings, thoughts and emotions and be able to devleop new skills.

I work with adult men and women(ages16-99)struggling with sues such as anxiety, depression, and relationship issues, as well as those who have attention deficits. I also work with individuals struggling to find the big picture of their life, struggling to identify core values, and are “failing to launch,” having a mid-life crisis, struggling to adapt to retirement, or are having a crisis of faith. I work with older teens (16+) who are having school related problems, suffering from anxiety or depression, or have attention deficit disorder. I consider counseling a ministry to your needs above your ability to pay. My rates are low.

Enacting change in our lives is never easy, especially when it pertains to our mental health and our relationships. However, it is a worthwhile process that can have a profound impact on your life and the lives of those closest to you. The healthier we are in these areas the healthier we are as individuals, family members, friends, and coworkers. My goal is to create a safe, therapeutic atmosphere for you to explore these areas and enact the change that you need to be a happier and more whole version of yourself.

One of my favorite quotes by Melody Beattie conveys the essence of our counseling relationship: “Learn to listen to your inner voice. Listen to your heart. It’s your connection to God, to people, to the universe, and to yourself." My goal is to create a safe and positive environment allowing you an opportunity to explore and grow in self-awareness as you learn more about how to identify new strategies and cope with your circumstances in healthy ways. I believe in the power of individuals to change as they work toward common goals with their therapist, drawing upon person-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches.

Through great pain comes better awareness and understanding about ourselves and the world around us. My journey as a counselor began during my experience with war deployments, which inspired my search to find ways to help others who are hurting. After completing my Master's degrees in Couples and Family Counseling, I have worked extensively with the court system, with families in need, and with individuals of all ages. My other passion in life is speaking and learning more Spanish. I offer therapy sessions to adults, children, families, and couples. I am a certified hypnotherapist.

Hello - I’m glad our paths have crossed! My name is Chaka (yes, like Chaka Khan), and my goal is to work with you to overcome obstacles and issues that are interfering with your progress and passion in life. Resolving conflict, repairing relationships, healing from past trauma, building self-esteem, reversing dysfunctional patterns all assist in reaching this goal. I truly believe that, although people get hurt in relationships, it is also through relationships that people can heal. Change is not easy, but it is attainable and sustainable. As you embark on your healing journey, I will be here to see you through it.

It is my belief that finding the right therapist for YOU is the most important thing you can do. Working with young adults and their families is my specialty but my practice is open to anyone looking to grow, heal, and change. Is your child struggling to complete school or find employment? Has your marriage/relationship become challenging? Are you dealing with depression or anxiety that has become unmanageable? Are you a parent looking for support? Whatever life is throwing at you, I can help.

I believe that every person has the ability to grow, heal and change. As a counselor, I provide a space of nonjudgmental acceptance and authenticity which invites clients to show up exactly as they are and to be valued and supported in all aspects of their identity. I aim to partner with and empower my clients, utilizing the strengths and skills they already possess, to work toward their goals for healing and growth. My counseling orientation is grounded in a family systems approach, though I also draw significantly from attachment theory and person-centered counseling.

Not accepting new clients...I am passionate about healthy relationships and sexual intimacy. Over the past 20 years, I have worked with individuals and couples improving their connections with themselves and others. Clients often come to me desiring relief from relational disconnection, sexuality concerns, anxiety, infidelity, impact of childhood trauma, and career indecision. It is my goal that you leave our first session feeling truly seen and heard and feeling a renewed sense of hope that healing is possible. Together we will create a plan to help you achieve the level of wellness you desire.

I work with individuals of various ages and concerns, such as anxiety, depression, grief, PTSD, addictions, and other mental health concerns. As a therapist, I strive to create an environment in which you feel accepted, respected, and heard. Throughout the counseling process we will work together to help you achieve your goals and make the changes you would like to see in your life. I apply a number of techniques based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Mindfulness Theory. However, I believe every individual is unique so I use the tools, techniques, and theories that are the best fit you.

If you were a drop of water and you dropped into the ocean it would cause a ripple effect. Or, if you dropped onto land the surface would rearrange. This is what we do every day. We connect and interact with each other causing changes. We are not alone on this planet. We have purpose. We might think we are islands but an island is still connected to the main land, the connection is just covered by a mass of water. Understanding we are not alone creates hope, hope empowers, and power fuels transformation.

I help clients reach their goals using a variety of approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Solution Focused Therapy. I see individuals (age 5 and up) as well as couples and families. Conditions I treat include depression, anxiety, addictions, anger, stress, grief, trauma, ADHD, parenting skills, and marital and family conflicts.

The core of all my work with clients centers around connection. Whether you are an individual who has experienced trauma or is feeling constantly worn out and discouraged, a couple lacking emotional connection or walking through difficult times, I am here to help you. I work with individuals with a wide variety of struggles, including those experiencing stress, trauma, mood disorders, &/or life transitions, as well as couples who are in distress or seeking to rekindle their connection.

I am so glad that you stopped by and took the time to read about me and explore the possibility of working together.Getting started is always the hardest part of any road to change. Deciding who you are going to trust with your information is also an important part of your new beginnings. I want to be supportive of your goals and work together in discovering how you can reach and surpass them. In my time away from being a therapist, the most important thing to me is my family - my wife and three young children - and spending as much of my time with them that I can. I enjoy hiking, fishing, cooking and reading when I have the time.
