Anxiety Therapists in Lexington, KY

My counseling focus is Marriage and Relationship counseling as well as depression and anxiety. I believe our core problems tend to stem from our desire to be validated and loved by others. When we do not feel worthy, "good enough" or loved we engage in self-protective behaviors (fight or flee), pain comes to the surface and we experience hurt, anger, anxiety and other destructive emotions.

You know you want therapy, but you’re nervous about choosing a therapist. What if you end up with someone you have to educate about your sexual orientation or relationship structure? Or someone who doesn’t understand your gender identity or respect your pronouns? What if your therapist is dismissive of how oppression has impacted your mental health, or can’t handle the trauma you’ve been through? If you've had these worries as you look for a therapist, I might be the one for you. The people whose lives don’t fit neatly into society’s boxes aren’t just my “clinical interest” – they’re my community.

Independently licensed in CT and KY, I am passionate about helping people who are working towards finding their truth. I help clients take steps forward, have tough conversations, and live life fully. I specialize in LGBTQIA+ affirming therapy, and help clients experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship related issues, and life transitions by utilizing CBT and reality therapy techniques.

Now accepting new clients! Are you feeling stuck? Are you repeating the same maladaptive patterns again and again? Are past issues coming back up in new situations? Everyone has a unique set of personal priorities to address in therapy. My goal is to help you identify yours and begin your journey of moving forward. I specialize in LGBTQ+ issues, religious trauma, child and adult trauma therapy (specifically EMDR), as well as treatment for anxiety and related disorders.

I am licensed to see patients in both Kentucky and Indiana. I completed my PhD in Counseling Psychology with emphasis training in Behavioral Health and Spanish Counseling. I completed my post doctoral residency in general mental health with Veterans Affairs. I have specialty training in LGBTQ+ issues and trauma recovery; including certification in Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD. I also specialize in psychological evaluations for varying issues including differential diagnosis, cross-sex hormone/surgery readiness, and disability.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor and a Nationally Certified Counselor. I graduated with a Bachelor's of Science and Master's of Art from EKU and have been licensed to practice independently since 2002. In my professional career, I have worked with a variety of populations, including residential and outpatient substance abuse and domestic violence. I have three children and 2 pets! I enjoy kayaking, scrapbooking, music and volunteering. My focus in counseling is to listen and meet the person where they are and only then try to help. Each person is different and their treatment must be as well.

Hi there! I believe that life is meant to be embraced to the fullest every day. Even when you feel relatively happy therapy can be a place to learn how your mind works. Together we can learn to navigate your feelings, build healthier habits, or change your mindset whether your life has thrown you a curve or you are simply wanting to become the best version of your self.

My work with women and parents is based on one simple belief: we all are capable of finding joy and satisfaction. And the right therapy can help. Overwhelming stressors, unhealthy relationships and patterns of self-sabotaging behaviors frequently get people off track. I work with clients to select the right approach to help them achieve their goals. As a therapist with over 20 years of clinical experience, I offer psychotherapy with an emphasis on mindfulness. I am also certified in EMDR.

The idea for New Creation Counseling started years ago as I embarked on my life reclamation. Through my journey a wholehearted desire grew to help those who are hurting and I wanted to provide them with a safe place to heal. What have you been running from and what have you been using to avoid coping with your reality? It would be a privilege to share in your process of working through addiction, relationship discord, depression, anxiety, life transition, anger, stress and any other issues you may be facing. We are not built to face these burdens alone, so I invite you to invest in yourself and start growing forward.

Hello! Welcome to the first step in making change. I hope that you're proud of yourself for being here. I am a firm believer that therapy should be a safe and empathic space for exploring, healing, and feeling. I'm happy to offer that to each of my patients. Whether your goal is to take small steps to improve your overall wellbeing or work towards large life changes, I would love to join you in your journey.

Are you feeling stuck in life's challenges or longing for a deeper sense of connection and purpose? I am dedicated to guiding individuals through their unique journeys of self-discovery and healing, I offer a compassionate and collaborative space for growth and transformation. Navigating the complexities of life can often feel overwhelming, especially when dealing with past traumas or struggles with boundaries. You don't have to face these challenges alone - my approach to therapy is rooted in fostering a supportive and empowering environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without judgment.

Sometimes taking the first step in seeking help can be an overwhelming and scary process. I strongly believe everyone needs a trusting, non-judgmental and authentic individual to help facilitate growth. For each of my clients, I offer them a safe space where they can feel seen, heard and valued. My therapeutic approach is rooted in the belief that every individual has unique experiences and their plan of care should be person-centered, wholistic, and strengths based.

When you're feeling down, even the most mundane stressors can be too much to bear. Talking with a caring professional in a warm and supportive environment can be an invaluable life experience. With almost 30 years of experience working with individuals and couples, I feel confident that I can help.

Different people need different things at different times in their lives. For the most part, my style is person-centered, which feels more like two friends talking. We take the time to get to know one another, your unique interests and what makes you tick. We utilize this information to personally tailor our time together.

Do you wish that food and eating didn't take up so much time and energy? Do you feel bound by stress every time you look in the mirror? If eating issues and body image distress is paramount in your life, I am here to help! I see clients that struggle with eating behaviors, including binging, restricting, purging, or simply feeling that food is a stressor that hinders them from enjoying meals on a day-to-day basis. Food isn't a problem, but you feel a lack of confidence in your appearance? I can help with that, too! Body image work is one of my specialities, as well.

Sometimes, to change the direction of our lives, we need someone who can come alongside us to help us get a clear idea of what we need to do and how to do it - someone who can creatively connect with us and our goals and help us execute to achieve those goals. We are visionary therapists. We have been widely known for our ability to guide clients to realize their dreams and grow forward. We offer flexible scheduling options, including evenings and weekends. We also offer distance counseling through HIPAA-compliant technology. We look forward to speaking with you.
