Marriage Counseling Therapists in Forest City, NC

Are you feeling lost? Struggling to make changes in your life? Do you need encouragement and help? In 2014 I began Solid Foundations Counseling Center to bring hope and change to the lives of individuals, families and communities. I believe in treating people with dignity and respect regardless of background or struggle. You matter. I provide individual, couple, family and group counseling to children and adults. Areas I specialize in include mood disorders, ADHD, parenting skills, defiant behaviors, domestic violence, trauma, physical and sexual abuse and relationships.

Are you tired of struggling and hoping things will get better? Are you ready to get back to enjoying life? If you are feeling sad, hopeless, or out of control, I want to help you get back to a balanced life. If you think you may have anxiety and/or depression, or just find yourself struggling to focus or concentrate, call me today. You don’t have to live this way. It is my goal that you leave our first session feeling truly heard and cared for and a renewed sense of hope. Along with individual therapy, I provide marriage and couples counseling. If you long for a more loving, passionate relationship, I want to help you achieve it.

I believe that you bring wisdom to the places of disorientation in your life. As a spiritually-integrated psychotherapist, my role is to help you nurture the conditions where you can reconnect with this wisdom. The primary condition for this reconnection is an authentic relationship with another person. At its best, therapy can help deepen self-awareness, awaken self-compassion, and broaden your capacity for meaningful relationships. My practice resonates for contemplative persons seeking an active partner in the work of reconnection and re-creation.

Couples and family members ready to make a change to recursive patterns that seem to go nowhere can benefit from relationship therapy. Be prepared to do the hard work of examining your relationship, taking ownership of things that need to change, and delve into a process that may be difficult. It will be worth the effort and time you put into family therapy to have a lasting functional relationship. Parents and children, couples from all backgrounds, and other important relationships can benefit from therapy specifically designed to address the issues that interfere with a healthy dynamic.

Change can be difficult. Therapy provides support as you adapt to life's countless changes and curveballs. As a clinical social worker, I have spent time working alongside teens, young adults, and adults as they work through issues varying from hospitalization to exploring substance use and its effects on daily life, behavioral issues, and family conflict. I draw extensively from Maslow's hierarchy of needs and help clients explore their immediate basic needs and safety while addressing love and belonging, self-esteem, and spiritual aspects of daily life.

An important element I bring into counseling is a holistic understanding of you and your system. Through this, we discover dynamic ways to affect the issues in which you desire to see positive and enduring change. Furthermore, I practice a balanced approach. One side of counseling is more hands-on advising that involves practical and effective life skills. On the other side, counselors are neutral collaborators that facilitate self-exploration, depth, and healing. Through scholarly research and personal practice, I strive to bring both elements into my counseling relationships to achieve quick and lasting systemic change.

In todays world sometimes we need someone to just listen and care about how we are doing. I would love to be that for you. Come into a no-judgement zone and relax as we work together toward a healthier you. Relax, Breath, and Arise renewed. As a Christian counselor we can focus on a spiritual solution; while taking in every day issues learning healthy coping strategies, self-care, Self-worth, and autonomy with healthy boundaries. Come let us Arise!

Welcome! I work with people who are struggling with chronic conflict & unhealthy communication in their relationship. Folks who fight with each other more than they communicate, argue about the same things over & over again, can’t make decisions together & have tried everything to overcome the challenges in their relationship. People I work with often start sessions feeling hopeless, angry, unheard & unseen. If you're looking for an unbiased professional who can facilitate a therapeutic & solutions focused conversation so everyone can move on from conflict in the relationship then you're in the right place.

I am licensed in Maryland and North Carolina: offering virtual sessions for those in Maryland and in-person and virtual in North Carolina. I see families, couples, and individuals from teens to adults, from all backgrounds and beliefs, who are dealing with a variety of issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, family and relationship issues, and identity struggles. www.soundmindlkn.com
