Therapists in Louisville, KY

Are you looking for a way to heal emotional pain? If so, I would love to help you on your journey.

Hello! We are The Shea Center and we are excited you found our page! We are a dynamic team of therapists who treat all types of beings and ages who are experiencing challenges stemming from trauma and stress, anxiety and depressive disorders, grief and loss, substance use issues and others. We utilize a range of therapeutic techniques to ensure we are meeting you exactly where you are. There is no one-size-fits-all treatment and most of us are longing for spaces to show up as our most authentic selves. We'd be absolutely honored to navigate that journey with you.

Do negative self-thoughts keep you from accepting yourself or achieving accomplishments? Have you struggled with feelings of shame? Are you tired of past experiences, including trauma, dictating how you approach life & relationships today? Are you critical of yourself? Have you been stuck on an artistic endeavor or project? Are you ready to break through to a new athletic level? Is fear holding you back? By shifting how you view and talk to yourself, you can achieve these goals and much, much more. I work with teenagers age 14+ and adults & am particularly invested in the healing of members/families of the LGBTQIA+ community.

I am a member of the LGTBQ community. I specialize in treating other members of this community and I also specialize in treating trauma/PTSD with EMDR. Unfortunately, many of us in the LGBTQ community have experienced a good deal of trauma through abuse, rejection, dysphoria, religion, etc. You are safe with me. I am here to help and happy to do so.

As an older queer Jewish woman, I love working with other LBGTQ and straight women and men who are ready to make changes in their lives. I understand what it feels like to be hurt by people you love or to be unable to find peace within yourself. So you're in pain or suffer from anger, or shamed, let me help you help yourself. You can learn to regulate your emotions and change the way you think about yourself and interact with others differently. I know this is difficult as I have had to do this too. Let me help you help yourself walk through the pain and get to the other side. It is time to unburden yourself of your secrets.

We provide services to people who are seeking Identity Counseling, Trauma and Grief Counseling, Mood and Anxiety Counseling, and more. We foster a safe space for people who identify as LGBTQ+, LGBTQ+ allies, and people who are seeking behavioral health services. The core values for ODCC are Professionalism, Respect, Integrity, Diversity, and Excellence (PRIDE).

Feel like you are always on the outside looking in? Exhausted from people-pleasing? Maybe always felt like the adult growing up. Perhaps struggle to stay in the moment without always planning your next step or the opposite, stuck in the past. Plagued by loneliness? Feel like a burden if you ask of others? Does perfectionism plague you? You'll find a safe and non-judgmental space to speak uncensored and get tools to lessen anxiety and stress; form healthy relationships; and communicate effectively. Forgive yourself for not being Superhuman.

I have an eight-week waitlist. I recognize that going to counseling can be intimidating, and it is also an important first step in making life changes that you can't seem to make on your own. Are disappointment and hurts a regular part of your life? If you have difficulty standing up for yourself, or if you are waiting for your life to happen, then I encourage you to call. I have 30 years of experience with couples, co-occurring disorders, and EMDR experience. I feel honored that my clients have chosen to walk this life journey with me and welcome your call.

I support clients who identify as sensitive, empathic, intuitive or creative. With a decade of experience providing trauma-focused support, I weave together talk therapy with somatic (body-focused) techniques, energy psychology, therapeutic meditation and energy therapies including reiki and shamanism. My approach supports the holistic self by meeting body, mind, emotion, energy and soul. We all experience ebbs and flows in life, times of thriving and times of struggle. Times of struggle can often manifest as anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, or feeling disconnected from the true self.

I specialize in working with grief, loss, and trauma and also have experience working with anxiety disorders, substance use disorders, depression, and relationship issues. I take a compassionate, non-judgmental approach to therapy and enjoy relating to and uncovering a person’s highest self. In my work with clients, I draw from mindfulness-based therapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy as well as from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Buddhist Psychology, and Existential approaches. Additionally, I am trained in EMDR, an evidence-based treatment for trauma.

Immediate Openings....Healing from trauma, abuse, grief and loss along with a mood disorder can be overwhelming. Especially if you deal with it alone. Are loved ones telling you to "fix it" but you're not sure how? Everyone possesses a resiliency that is yet to be discovered that can help you overcome these obstacles. We will uncover your positive qualities that have helped you to survive and will help you to live the life you were meant to. The teletherapy environment is supportive and non-judgmental to allow growth at your own pace. EMDR is an option for treatment. I am teletherapy only and have immediate openings!

Day Time Openings Only. The decision to find a therapist usually comes at times of stress & change. I am a supportive, non-judgmental therapist that realizes how hard it is to ask for help. Together we will identify issues you want to work on, recognizing and building on your strengths and uniqueness. We will find solutions that work for you. I have worked with clients with a variety of issues including persistent worry and anxiety, difficulties in relationships, trauma, and grief & loss. I also have extensive experience working with teenagers, their parents, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

I am non-binary transwoman and my pronouns are she/they. I've been practicing for 14 years. I've worked with clients across the life span and from many varied backgrounds. My areas of expertise are gender and sexuality, particularly LGBTQ issues, and trauma. I have been an advocate and educator as well as a member of the LGBTQ community for over 30 years.

Life can be stressful, but when you are confronted with major change, loss or trauma the simplest tasks can feel overwhelming. Therapy can help support, guide and heal current and past events, heal depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, abuse, as well as change patterns that continue to prevent relationship, social and professional goals from being met.

If you are motivated to understand the conscious and unconscious forces and meanings that shape your experience and relationships; If you feel you are without choices; if you are struggling with questions of self-worth; if you are grieving; if you feel hurt, betrayed or abandoned, I encourage you to take the brave first step toward your self by entering into this safe space of non-judgment. I desire to create a safe and therapeutic space where individuals feel the safety to be seen and known.

I have been trained as a clinical social worker, addictions counselor, and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist. I utilize experiential therapies and EMDR to help people reclaim their lives. In my practice I focus on helping adults struggling with developmental trauma and PTSD, sex and pornography addiction, recovery from narcissistic abuse & traumatic bonding, and drug/alcohol addiction. Parents of addicted adults and folks with internet/gaming/screen addictions are also specialty areas.

TRUST – It’s a simple word, but for those who have been hurt – physically, sexually, emotionally, or spiritually – it’s far from simple to do. Trust is not something I will expect from you initially, but something I will feel honored to earn, as our therapeutic alliance grows and we celebrate together the courage it took for you to seek therapy. I can help you discover what you would like your life to become, even if that sounds impossible right now. I am an LCSW with experience in working with adults and children. I believe individual change can break cycles of abuse and promote parenting styles to build up future generations.
