Therapists Beginning With Y in North Carolina

Sometimes we hit a point in our lives where we realize we need the support of a non-biased person to manage difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences. If you are ready to make a positive change in your life and take back control, we may be a good match. I have experience working alongside children, adolescents, and adults to support them with this journey. I work with each person to prioritize and support in creating small manageable goals to meet their end goal. Sometimes change feels impossible or overwhelming, but I am available to process your next steps to create a sense of wellness and increase your happiness.

Hi there! I am originally from Los Angeles, raised in Charlotte, NC, and proud to be Korean-American. As a Licensed Clinical Social worker and also an ally in the LGBTQIA+ community, I have experience in school-based therapy with children and psychotherapy with young adults. My passion lies in fostering healthy lifestyles and guiding clients through challenges like the journey of identity, cultural clashes, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, behavioral concerns, and transitions.

Sometimes we feel stuck. Grief, anxiety, depression, and health issues can overwhelm you and make everyday life feel like you are spinning your wheels. Are you wanting to gain some traction to start healing? Are you ready for change? Are you looking for the next steps to living your best life? I have been in the field of clinical social work for 30 years using several modalities to help individuals make change in their lives. I use a holistic approach that looks at how we treat our bodies, what thoughts we have, how we connect to others, and how we connect to the universe.

Where do you even begin? How do you sort through the clutter of endless therapy websites while you’re feeling overwhelmed and stuck? How do you find the right therapist when it feels like no one will understand you anyways? Just getting through the day is already tiresome enough. You have big feelings that you're ashamed of having around others. Your thoughts are self-critical, making you think you’re not good enough or like you don’t belong. You’re juggling relationships and responsibilities, all while trying to hide that you feel insecure and lost. And all you want is to just feel happy and live a stable life again.

I have experience working with a wide range of concerns including anxiety and stress, depression and other mood disorders, relationships and interpersonal issues, adjustment and acculturation, body image and eating concerns, identity development, and academic issues. I consider myself a generalist and am comfortable treating a variety of presenting issues; however, I am particularly interested in helping clients explore concerns related to perfectionism, sexual orientation, romantic relationships, and racial or ethnic identity development.

At times, life comes at you fast, and as the old saying goes, "when it rains, it pours". During times of high stress and transition we often forget our ability to strive and thrive through the difficulties. Are you currently feeling stuck on your journey? Dealing with grief and/or loss? Struggling academically? Anxious about day to day uncertainties? You have come to the right place. With encouragement, I believe individuals have the ability to take control, channel their strengths into progress, grow their resiliency, and reconstruct their life trajectory.

Are you wanting to make some life changes or feeling stuck? Or maybe you’re having trouble with difficult feelings or anxiety. I see children, teenagers, and adults who struggle with attention disorders, depression, anxiety, multicultural issues, trauma, interpersonal problems, and transition. I especially enjoy seeing people of color, students, professionals, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Self-compassion is one of the driving forces in my practice of helping others. My goal is to help you through your life's journey while using empathy, connection, and laughter.

Welcome, I am glad you are here! Therapy can help everyone, not just those with a "diagnosis." In everyday life, challenges are thrown at us that we can't always work out on our own. I help people process these challenges as they occur. Death of a loved one, relationship issues, work stressors, life transitions, etc - can be upsetting, distracting and decrease overall happiness and quality of life. Evidence has shown that people who have an unbiased, safe space to process these events move through them more quickly, gain clarity, improve productivity and ultimately thrive in their lives.

I am a clinical social worker with 10 years of experience and have worked in both residential and outpatient settings. I currently offer individual therapy to clients experiencing depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, substance use, and grief. I work with many LGBTQIA+ clients and believe that issues of social justice are often relevant to therapy. I come from a Health at Every Size perspective, am sex-positive, and am committed to ongoing anti-racist work. I have sought additional training around sexuality and gender and am enthusiastic about supporting folks who are feeling curious about exploring these facets of their experience.

It is a privilege to be considered to take part in your journey. Mental health counseling is the best investment you can make for yourself. Although the decision to seek counseling may have been difficult, it is a courageous one. Therapy is an effective way to face your distress in a safe and supportive way and it is a pathway to personal transformation. My practice centers on providing support to clients experiencing life transitions, relationship issues, parenting matters and overall emotional support.

L & B Counseling is breaking the stigma of counseling with an outside the box approach. We bring the office outside and engage with clients using creative activities. We are outdoors-oriented, but we do offer in-office and virtual appointments. We have multiple therapists, so if you prefer someone else, we have you covered.

I am not accepting new clients right now. - Often times past traumas, relationships or events have caused us to separate from or deny certain parts of ourselves. We may notice life getting more difficult or confusing because we are not functioning as our true, whole self. I believe that the symptoms we are experiencing are messengers from parts of our body or mind that need healing. I work with clients holistically to make changes to the mind, body, and spirit in order to heal the individual as a whole. I will encourage you to reconnect with your body, take back control, and live a meaningful life that you love.
