Therapists for college students near 27705

Truth is I am tired! These are words that I have uttered multiple times during my life journey and I am sure you have as well. As a black boy growing up in the rural south, I know how hard it can be to find space to talk about the hard things. Most of the times we are taught to not have feelings and explore the individual, familial, and societal stressors that constantly impact our ability to honor ourselves.You might be looking for someone to bear witness to the pain and the hardships in your life to feel safe enough to get out of your head and into your body. As a therapist, I understand that healing is a journey and does not happen overnight. Progress is never linear, and my goal is to create space for the good, bad, and the ugly. You will be treated like a human and given the right to access all the parts of you that make you who you are without judgement. I am passionate about providing spaces where you can move from a place of survival to thriving while caring for the whole person. At the end of the day I want you to walk away feeling empowered and confident and today could be the right time to begin.

Hi there, my name is Caroline Bobbie and I am a licensed clinical social worker. I would first like to congratulate you on taking the steps to seek out support. Sometimes we show grace to others but not to ourselves. The therapeutic relationship supports a better understanding of our behaviors, thoughts and feelings. My approach is focused on providing you with a safe and trusting environment to cultivate the changes you want from within. My practice utilizes specialized therapeutic techniques including mindfulness based therapies, psychoanalytical, solution focused, cognitive behavioral and grief counseling techniques. Services include short and long term treatment options for adolescents and adults. Sessions are in the one on one format.

I believe that with increased awareness comes a sense of control and the ability to act with intention. My work often focuses on practicing greater self-compassion, emphasizing strengths, building awareness, and encouraging genuine acceptance. I utilize a personalized approach to help clients find creative solutions to problems and achieve lasting, positive results. I support gender, sexual, and relationship diversity and provide open-minded care in a safe space that acknowledges and celebrates each person’s unique abilities and challenges. I believe that Black lives matter, that love is love, that no human is illegal, that women’s rights are human rights, and that all bodies are beautiful.

As an experienced psychiatric and family nurse practitioner it is my duty to positively impact you as your embark on your mental health journey. The associated stigma and biases relative to medication management oftentimes results in delayed care and perceived misconception. I am here to provide a safe place to voice your concerns and questions. We will explore and determine as a collective if medication is the best option for you and proceed accordingly.

College students face unique challenges. Even though being in college can be exciting, it also can be an adjustment that doesn't always go as planned. I have experience working with college students with various stressors such as academic workload, feeling stressed out, anxiety, depression and some students have a hard time with being away from home.

I specialize in working with men, women, teenagers, and boys (6+). 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. Difficulties that we experience early in life often stay with us into adulthood, creating a a myriad of problems including depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction (sexual, drug/alcohol, work), sexual abuse, lack of self confidence, relationship issues, negative coping habits, physical or auto-immune disorders, & more. In my practice, I utilize a number of trauma informed approaches such as Attachment Focused EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Somatic Experiencing (SE), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you resolve these early childhood traumas. I believe you can overcome these barriers to experience more peace, joy, and freedom in your life. You can heal. And it would be an honor for me to assist you on this journey. Send me a message for a free 20 minute consultation. (I am not working with insurance right now). See more at www.taylorhouchens.com
