Find a Therapist in Davidson, North Carolina.

I practice a form of psychotherapy called Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (or ACT). It is based on the idea that thoughts and feelings are just a normal part of life and something we don't have much control over. Because of that, we need to spend less energy trying to control our thoughts and feelings and more energy working on our actual behavior and values. I will help you learn to overcome the difficult thoughts and feelings that come up for you while you pursue the things that are most valuable and meaningful to you.

At Agapé Christian Counseling, we count it a privilege to walk beside every person who comes through the doors. We do the work of counseling because every story matters – every life has value and worth. We provide a caring and supportive place to share your story. We want to help people tell their story so they can be rescued from a prison of lies and instead experience joy and peace. Our broken and sometimes painful experiences cause us to believe a story of lies, such as “No one cares. You aren’t lovable". Resting, even for an hour and sharing your story with a professional counselor, can help bring clarity, understanding and discovery of your worth and purpose.

My approach to psychotherapy is to give that individual choice and control back in their life. I utilize deferent approaches and educate you on each as we go through this. I partner with you in this journey. I believe that you are in need of healing and not something that need to be fixed. One of my main approaches is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I use this to restructure and identify thoughts and create a new way of thinking in the areas of need.

I assist clients in tapping into their own individual potential and strengths in a safe and nonjudgmental environment. If you are looking to find meaning in your life, develop effective and healthy coping skills and habits, achieve goals, and improve your relationships with others, then call today for a free phone consultation or to set up an appointment.

Psychotherapy is all about the relationship between the client and the therapist. It's not about medical treatment or medications. Psychotherapy is basically talk-therapy. In psychotherapy the client is able to process the problem and with the therapist's guidance come up with solutions instead putting a band aid on the problem. Most people think of Freudian psychoanalysis when they hear the word psychotherapy, but today there are many different approaches to psychotherapy. I would love to process with you!

My psychotherapeutic approach is based on the time-tested intervention that is called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT helps people understand how their thoughts can control their actions and vice versa. Once one of those is altered, the other can subsequently follow, resulting in a happier and healthier life for you and those around you. It is a powerful path to successful treatment with many mental health challenges.

Often individual psychotherapy can be helpful for those who are motivated to change personal outlook and behavior. Many individuals come to the conclusion that something in their life needs to change whether it is a relationship pattern, an inability to achieve career goals, or to come to terms with some life circumstance or history. An outside perspective can provide new insight as well as objective feedback and new avenues of consideration. Friends and Family members often are too close to see these issues, too afraid of jeopardizing their relationship with you, or struggling with their own life dilemmas. Most people who ask, 'could I benefit from counseling?' are voicing a need.

Psychotherapy is an empirically validated intervention. Simply put...IT WORKS! It's important that you establish a working alliance and feel safe, heard, and that you receive genuine empathy. I offer free consultations to develop an understanding of where we will begin, what therapy entails, and what it means for you. Your experience is tailored to you based on an integrative perspective. I have a desire to create a safe space in which you may flourish. If you seek emotional, mental, or spiritual improvements, I am here to help!

As a trained psychotherapist and counselor, my aim is to help my clients challenge and rewrite the negative automatic thoughts and negative core beliefs that they hold of themselves. Beliefs such as "I am not worthwhile" or "I am stupid" or "I am too much or not enough" were often learned in childhood. Many clients find relief from cognitive behavioral therapy which helps them examine and change negative behaviors, thoughts and emotions which lead to anxiety and depression and a host of other mental health problems. Clients also benefit from EMDR, an evidence based psychotherapy which has proven to be effective in helping those struggling with distressing negative memories and PTSD.
