BRAINSPOTTING THERAPY

Brain spotting therapy is primarily focused on discovering and alleviating trauma, and can help many different types of issues, especially since trauma’s effects are so far-reaching

Substance Abuse/Use/Misuse Therapy

You find you are becoming dependent on a substance and negatively impacted in its abscence. Maybe you cannot focus, sleep, or eat without it. Maybe your day is not good, if you do not have it. Maybe you are struggling to cut down on use, close loved ones complain about it, or you have had an experience that has convinced you it is time to quit. 

Relational Trauma

Adulting is getting harder. Maybe you are a non-traditional student returning to college later in life; a parent contemplating your next move professionally; a young adult uncertain about their career path; or a young professional navigating ageism in the workplace.

Anxiety & Depression Therapy for Entrepreneurs

An Entrepreneur is : A person who organizes and manages any enterprise, especially a business, usually with considerable initiative and risk.You are full of ideas. Guide by passion and purpose. Working hard to bring shape to your visions and thoughts for yourself.

WALK AND TALK THERAPY

Have you ever said to yourself, “I need to step outside to get my thoughts together?”

You are not alone. There is scientific evidence that shows being outside and getting fresh air can help relieve stress; in return this can help you to think more clearly. 

Why not combine physical exercise with mental health? Some people enjoy the experience of movement while talking or feel more comfortable talking side-by-side, rather than sitting face-to-face in an office.  Walk and Talk therapy may be a great option for people who exhibit a lot of excess energy during sessions or for those who feel uneasy with maintaining direct eye contact and sitting still. Some therapists have noted that physical movement encourages psychological movement, and can even accelerate client breakthroughs.”(L. Diethelm, 2020)

Walk-and-talk is a form of psychotherapy or consultation while walking outdoors in public places. I offer walk-and-talk sessions as an optional treatment modality. Walking sessions typically take place in North, South, South West Charlotte. The location and date is discussed with the client and not advertised for confidentiality purposes. 

If you’re interested, we’ll decide beforehand if it’s clinically appropriate for your situation. Walk-and-talk sessions can be used intermittently or regularly, and may be discontinued at any time.
