Christian Counseling Therapists in Lexington, NC

Find Hope and Comfort as you navigate Life’s Journey….. It is my privilege and honor to walk your grief journey with you. Grief represents so many things, i.e., death, divorce, loss of a friendship, loss of a job and the list goes on. Life is about uncertainties, losses, and fear of the unknown, leaving us blinded by an overwhelming feeling of stress, depression and anxiety. Life’s journey often feels lonely as we try to feel normal when life is presenting us with a newness that is unfamiliar to us. - I provide PHONE counseling only.

I am a Marriage and Family Therapist with a heart for the lost and hurting. I specialize in helping Adolescents, Adults and their families navigate the challenges of Depression, Anxiety, Bipolar disorder, panic disorder, family stress, overwhelming academic pressures, low self-esteem, racial, sexuality, and gender issues (LGBTQ+). I help people of all ages take charge of their mental health symptoms and navigate the challenges of life. I help people find their way back to happy, guide them in healing their broken hearts, and above all honor who my clients are and the abilities they have, to live the lives they desire.

My counseling experience includes working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I have provided counseling assistance for various issues including depression, anxiety, adoption, pregnancy, women's issues, parenting skills, pre-marital counseling, and issues related to domestic violence. I have expertise in Christian counseling and can incorporate faith to whatever degree you are comfortable.

My website - www.taylorhouchens.com - I specialize in working with boys, teenagers, men, women, and families. If this is you, it is my goal to help you overcome the barriers and problems in your life that are keeping you from experiencing the freedom you are desiring. Often times, these problems are the result of trauma from childhood that is still unresolved. Perhaps you're experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, sexual abuse, PTSD, addiction (sexual, drug/alcohol, work), lack of self confidence, family issues, relationship difficulties, negative coping habits, physical or auto-immune disorders, or more. If so, I can help.

Your faith has lost its spark. You want to believe, but right now it’s hard. You want to feel close to God, yet everything you do makes you feel farther and farther from Him, leaving you feeling defeated and hopeless. The questions. The doubts. They’re LOUD. You remember a time when your faith was strong. But now? Now the suffering you experience has you questioning everything you thought you knew. Maybe church abuse is real for you. Whether the leadership of the church or the people of the church. It’s brutally painful. “If that’s what a Christian is,” you think…"I’m out.” But in your heart, you don’t want to abandon ship.

I approach counseling from a holistic perspective, taking into consideration the mental, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of each client. I believe that a safe, therapeutic environment and strong rapport are critical to growth and healing. I consider counseling as a collaborative journey, respecting that the client is the expert of their own life. As such, I work together with my clients in developing goals that meet each client's specific needs.

We are so glad you decided to take the often challenging step towards making positive change in your life and finding support. We create a safe and compassionate environment where individuals can holistically explore their issues and increase their well-being and quality of life. Our primary approach to therapy is collaborative, and we believe each person's needs are unique and require a different framework.

Throughout our lives, we all encounter moments when we require assistance in navigating challenging circumstances. As a person-centered therapist, I am here to guide you through these situations with a compassionate and nonjudgmental approach. I deeply honor your role as the expert in your own life, and we will work together collaboratively to devise solutions. Our joint effort will culminate in the creation and execution of a plan aimed at achieving a positive outcome.

Trauma leaves us feeling worthless, broken, and disconnected from our true selves. You may be fed up not knowing who you are outside of your relationship, or guilt over what happened to you. You may not remember how you got here. Either way, one thing is for sure: you're ready for some relief. You're ready to live in the moment and enjoy meaningful relationships without being triggered by your past. You're ready to wake up each morning with purpose. Most of all, you're ready to heal and love yourself again and face your future head on with a sense of hope and I can help you get there.

Life can be viewed as a series of successes and disappointments. We often have people who support us in the highs but may not know how to help us through the lows. I would be honored to be that person for you! While we cannot be perfect, we can be healthy in mind, body, and spirit! I believe that God can use every event, mistake, achievement, frustration, setback and triumph to help us prosper and be well.

You deserve to heal! You are worthy of love, support, and the freedom found in healing. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, or relational wounds there is hope. The storm won’t last always and I am here to help navigate you through it. We'll work together to: identify wounds and experiences that may be keeping you stuck or burdening you; heal the areas that may seem fractured by teaching you new skills and coping techniques; and celebrate accomplishing goals, becoming a more authentic you, and achieving freedom.
