Find a Therapist in Creedmoor, North Carolina.

I have a warm and compassionate approach in therapy. I know that it can be difficult to reach out for help, and I honor and value my clients for taking the courageous step to address the needs and issues that they have. I highly value my clients' confidentiality and privacy, and employ ethical and professional standards of practice. I use elements of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). I strive to meet each client where he or she is at, and work hard to help each client meet his or her treatment goals.

I am trained in psychotherapy which offers clients an objective, specialized view, to help them obtain their goals. Whether an individual, couple, or family, I work with my clients to improve their overall quality of life. This may be to address concerns about their mental health, relationships, or work issues. I challenge my clients in an empathetic and caring way, so they can feel secure in exploring whatever they need. Using my experience and training, I utilize different therapeutic approaches to best meet each individual's unique needs. I work to provide the best for my clients, ensuring each person leaves my office feeling accomplished and motivated.

I see my job as something that our Aunts used to do in families before we got so mobile in our culture. Those aunts close by who married into the family and had some objectivity and lots of tenderness. Maybe you didn't have one of those aunts, but if you're in the market for one now, you'll have to hire a counselor. I practice psychotherapy and think it is a valuable tool for anyone interested in better understanding themselves. I don't have the answers, but I'm educated and trained to help you clarify what you need to know for yourself. It is fun at times, interesting and difficult. It is painful and relieving as well as frustrating. My style is collaborative, warm and direct.

Psychotherapy is about you. It is about helping you to achieve your goals. Those may be to improve your relationships, enhance coping skills, improve school or job performance or many different things. Goals can range anywhere from increased understanding of yourself to resolving specific issues. I will utilize whichever approach will best suit your needs and your style in order to help you be your best self.

Psychotherapy is the individualized treatment of psychological disturbances or issues. It may also be used for personal growth and self-discovery. At Lepage Associates we have therapists who specialize in common mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, relationships/couples, and general daily stress, and all are also skilled at self-growth. Psychotherapy uses the relationship and communication between client and therapist as the primary vehicle for accessing and addressing sources of discomfort or unhappiness in the client. In addition at Lepage Associates we rely on empirically-validated therapies to address problems. Psychotherapy helps clients gain perspective on their problems, in....

As a licensed individual, marriage, and family therapist, I pay special attention to how past and present relationships shape identity and influence stress. I work with clients from diverse backgrounds and with various stressors including chemical and behavioral addictions such as compulsive technology use or compulsive sexual behavior, mood disorders such as depression or bi-polar disorder, anxiety and panic disorders, dissociative processes, personality disorders, occupational stressors, and stressful relationship dynamics. Please reach out for a free phone consultation or send me an email to further discuss your needs and get a clear picture of how therapy will address your concerns.

Life can be hard, and psychotherapy can help. Having someone there for you, who is in your corner, that you feel truly safe with can be incredibly healing. Knowing that you can talk about whatever you want, truly, without judgement is powerful. Clients come to me looking for psychotherapy to help manage life's stressors, relationship struggles, work troubles, and more. I'm not going to tell you that "others have it worse" or "be grateful for what you have." Instead, we can honor that your struggles and feelings are real, and then work together to find ways for you to thrive in all areas of your life.

Psychotherapy, or "talk therapy," is a psychosocial form of mental health treatment used to treat a variety of mental health disorders and concerns. Whether on an individual, family, or group level the primary aim of psychotherapy is to assist individuals with developing increased insight into their experiences and to encourage behavior change in an effort to resolve psychological, emotional, and behavioral difficulties and promote growth. Some forms of psychotherapy focus on thoughts, thoughts processes and beliefs, others focus more so on emotional responses and interpretation of experiences (e.g., the meaning), while others are most concerned with observable behavior.

My approach to counseling is direct and informal. Clients often tell me they find it refreshing to have a counselor who is interactive and involved during sessions. My experience has been that counseling can be brief and effective when we work together to establish a plan to reach your goals. If you are currently in counseling, and you aren't sure how what you are doing will help you reach your goals, or you arent sure what your goals are, then you are unlikely to experience the counseling as helpful. Don't just make an appointment with the counselor who has a convenient appointment time; make an appointment with someone who is EXPERIENCED, DIRECT, DYNAMIC, and CERTAIN of how to help.
