Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Therapists in 28803

Hi there, my name is Taylor. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist Associate. I graduated from East Tennessee State University with a BSW and MSW. Prior my transition to the mental health field in 2020, I gained experience as a social worker in the medical field working with all age groups and populations. In the most recent years, I worked as an Employee Assistance Program Therapist and a Inpatient Psychiatric Social Worker (present).

Are you enjoying your life less than you used to? Do you feel like you are on a treadmill and can't slow down? Do you want to make some changes but don't know how? Sometimes it is difficult to even connect with ourselves in this hectic, always rushing world. I believe that we live in an increasingly rushed and disconnected world with an emphasis on everything but connecting with the people in our lives or even ourselves.

"What if I crumble under the pressure?" You appear calm on the outside but on the inside you're wondering if you're really cut out for this. You worry that people will think you're a "fraud" or "impostor". (A very common fear). You're tired of people telling you that you're "overthinking it." Performance anxiety is real. Athletes, performers, business professionals, and test takers all experience it and it's debilitating - making it difficult to think clearly and perform effectively, let alone enjoy what you're doing. You're ready for a mindset change, a different way to do things.

I am part of Thrive Mental Health Center located in Asheville, NC. We are comprised of a diverse group of clinicians specializing in treatment of clients dealing with psychological and behavioral challenges. We offer individual, couple and family therapy. Our core values are quality of care, individualized approach, person centered & cultural competence. My therapeutic philosophy integrates the core tenets of solution-focused therapy and the intricate understanding of the internal dynamics presented by the Internal Family Systems model.

Out of network provider for all insurances You're tired. You have to carry BIG emotions all the damn time with no outlet to let them out. You cry when you’re alone, but put on a smile so the world can’t see you're hurting on the inside. There is no time to slow down because slowing down makes the inner critic grow louder about how awful you are. Perhaps you get some release through disordered eating, but ultimately, that voice comes right back again. The inner critic makes it hard for you to accept yourself and love your flaws. It makes it hard for you to live your life intentionally, with confidence in yourself to use your voice.

Sometimes the daily pressures and struggles of life can seem overwhelming, and it may be hard to imagine how things can change. I encourage you to consider investing some time in yourself... to heal, to change, to grow. We can work together to change unhealthy patterns in your life. I can help you develop more effective communication and conflict resolution skills to improve relationships. Together, we can explore the barriers that are keeping you from living the life you want. Most importantly, I will support you on your journey toward wellness - whatever that may look like for you.

When I was an adolescent I was a Bart Simpson. I was routinely sent to the office, struggled with peer relationships and had frequent conflicts with authority figures. I relate well with teen and young adult males because I still partake in skating, lifting, and gaming. It can be difficult navigating the labyrinths of life, be it conflicts with parents, the effects of divorce, the aftermath of abuse, etc. Long story short, with good decisions and coping skills, you can overcome your problems and correct the course of your ship.

As a parent of a teenager, you’re wondering: How can I support my kid to be the best version of themself they can be? Contacting a therapist can be intimidating. But you’re taking an important first step in seeking out that therapist who you can build a trusting therapeutic relationship with to help your teen become the person they believe they can be. I work with clients in a relaxed, natural, and professional atmosphere to collaborate with them to identify the different paths and choices that lay before them so they can be empowered to become the rockstar version of themselves they always dreamed of.

Are you having trouble navigating the changes in your life? Or perhaps you are stuck and unsure how to move forward? Are you struggling with uncertainties, doubts, and perhaps some anxiety? If so, let's talk! I love to help clients who are going through major life transitions (such as endings or changes in current relationships), gender or sexuality questioning (LGBTQQ+), divorce, grief, career changes, and other challenging circumstances.

As a member of the Gay community, I offer my professional training and experience, as well as my personal experience and insight into the obstacles that face LBGTQ men and women. I have extensive experience working with LBGTQ individuals with a variety of concerns. I am an affirming, accepting and non-judgmental therapist who offers a place for you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your personal strengths, learn new and more effective problem solving skills and increase your sense of power.

I believe there are many ways to achieve well-being and recovery. Presence, patience, compassion, acceptance, and curiosity are some of the qualities I possess. I believe competent therapy is a co-creation between the client and therapist and pride myself in embodying everything I expect of my clients. I'm passionate about stewarding people to create greater acceptance, balance, inner attunement and well-being in their lives. I specialize in all addiction disorders (i.e. substance use disorders, behavioral addictions such as problematic sexual behaviors, porn, food, internet gaming, etc.) and/or co-occurring disorders.

You are looking for the opposite experience of what I had with my first therapist: stuffy, pretentious, and hypocritical advice from someone that didn’t know or understand me. You are on a therapy directory, which could mean you are already on your journey to closing the gap between where you are and where you want to be. Excruciating can be an understatement of how painful this gap can be. I’m sure you have already tried many things. I may not be the first therapist you have seen or considered working with about this. I know you need a different experience than what you have had.

My clients are experiencing a range of concerns such as bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression, trauma, relational issues, sober curiosity and life transitions. I also work with couples struggling with communication, betrayals, disconnect, loneliness and conflict management. Whether you’re going through a break-up or stuck in relationship patterns that no longer serve you, I’m here to help you process and learn practical ways to thrive in relationships and better manage your mental health concerns.

Accepting new clients! When searching profiles they can begin to sound the same. So I’ll tell you about me & you’ll know if I resonate. I started Catalyst Counseling AVL after working 15 years in the field. I come from a mix of practices, clientele, & life experiences, including entrepreneurship, creative arts, world travel, & living life outside the lines. I excel in forming authentic connections, especially with those new to therapy. I provide a warm, inviting, & safe space to truly bring yourself to the table. Together we will develop creative solutions, stoke inspiration, and build pragmatic tools to live a life you truly love.

You've been in therapy before. And you're psychologically savvy enough to know that growth doesn't have to do with finding a diagnosis and grabbing a few coping skills for the road. As any normal human does, we develop narratives and behavioral patterns to help us ignore, numb, protect, or compartmentalize our psychological conflicts. If you're reading this and you can relate, I see you. You need to find a therapist who can help you to dig deep enough to identify these patterns and change the old narratives. Some of these patterns MAY include:

We all have obstacles in this life that we must navigate. The part that falls on us is how we cope with these obstacles. You have to make decisions that could hinder our growth. You may become overwhelmed and do nothing. But guess what, that is still a decision. My role is to help guide you to the path that is best for you. I offer different techniques that are shaped to help you obtain the answers that you are seeking. As a team we will develop coping skills, identify patterns and learn to make better decisions.

Adolescence and young adulthood are challenging times, full of growth and transition for individuals and families. I love supporting adolescents and emerging adults as they explore their identities and light their paths into adulthood. I am skilled at working with families through these transitional times, and also enjoy supporting couples in achieving healthy communication and partnership. My clinical experience runs the gamut from in-home work with court mandated youth, residential work with adolescent girls, and community-based outpatient therapy with high school students and kids in foster care.
