Relationship Issues Therapists in Raleigh, NC

Do you feel disconnected and lonely in your relationship? I can help you re-connect and feel again the bond you once had. I use Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy ( EFT), an attachment based therapy method. I am also trained in EMDR ( Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), ACT ( Acceptance and Commitment Therapy- a combination of CBT and mindfulness techniques) and IFS ( Internal Family Systems ) which are helpful in processing trauma.

The past 20 years of partnering with a wide range of people through times of struggle has taught me we often underestimate our own resilience, or our resilience as a couple. It leads to worry, anger, depression, suspicion, guilt, frustration, loneliness, resentment, shame, panic... all the emotions we try so hard to avoid. Consider a teammate for this part of the journey to help you take greater control of your own growth. A partner who can listen intently, offer perspective, brainstorm with you, help you develop new insights and skills, and support you in making changes to create a life - or relationship - you love.

I emphasize the importance of a strong genuine therapeutic relationship, self-care, and self-compassion. I provide a space where clients can feel safe being authentic and vulnerable. I encourage and support each of my clients to utilize introspection to gain insight into their well-being through evaluating and recognizing your strengths, stuck points, and potential blindspots to begin creating lasting change. I am particularly passionate about helping individuals understand how your trauma impacts your physical and cognitive development, relationships with others, and view of self and others.

So many people feel dissatisfied, directionless or frustrated with relationships, work/school, family/friends, or just life in general.

Based on your unique needs, we'll work through the hard stuff together with patience, honesty and compassion (and maybe even some humor), and develop a plan and a pace that will get you moving in a more positive direction.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Having negative or scary thoughts? Unfortunately, it seems increasingly that we all – from teens to adults — can easily become overwhelmed by life’s stresses. Trauma can often play a part and make asking for help even tougher. Understanding how hard it can be to reach for help and understand these emotions constructively, I create therapeutic spaces, free of judgment and heavy on patience. I work with teens, college students and adults to create a therapeutic relationship to help you learn to manage your thoughts and feelings and apply practices to your everyday life to help in the future.

Choosing the right therapist is a very personal and important decision.

My specialty lies in working through unresolved trauma. Using skills + a strong intuition, I will help guide you through your healing process as you come to terms with events and lay them to rest. I draw from Acceptance Commitment Therapy and am non pathologizing.

Hi there! I’m Heidi and I’m so glad our paths have crossed. I am passionate about the 2S-LGBTQIA+ community as well as working with children (as young as 6 years old). Although, I do also love to work with individuals, couples, and polycules. As a social worker, my practice is deeply rooted in a commitment to social justice, anti-racism, and cultural humility. If you have experienced big life changes, are wanting affirming and inclusive care, or are simply seeking a witness to your process, you are not alone. I will prioritize creating an inclusive, relaxed, and casual environment for you to feel worthy and seen.

Do you want to feel at understood in your relationships, but you struggle with communicating emotions deep down?

Imagine waking up everyday inspired that you are loved and appreciated, deeply known and secure in your most important relationships. Imagine being fulfilled by knowing exactly how to show love to those same people. I love helping couples make their relationships great, from wherever they begin. I believe love is a verb by which we make strategic choices that are deeply rewarding and emotionally fulfilling. Built on attraction and attachment choices, love takes many forms but ultimately is our response to our deepest drives for meaning.

You have already taken the first step toward healing, growth and answers by beginning your search for help. Struggles in life do not define us, but open up doors of greater insight and strength if we are willing to pause, listen and learn. It’s so easy to get used to rushing through life, content to just survive - doing to the point that we forget how to enjoy being, reflecting and growing. Sometimes you may feel like you lost yourself along the way, like you don’t know who you really are anymore.

I am accepting new clients and have immediate availability! Life can sometimes push us into becoming a version of ourselves we don't recognize anymore.

I also work with couples and can help you find the relationship you're dreaming of.

Accepting new clients: I believe in addressing the full picture of the client, growth, and healing. I recognize that each client' story is unique and deserves a unique approach. I use integrative styles of therapy to create a client-centered fit. I am professionally multi-disciplined much like my educational background which includes psychology, clinical social work, and education. I bring to therapy a culturally competent atmosphere that welcomes all people who are ready to grow. I enjoy the empowerment perspective, strength-based therapy, trauma-informed therapy, coping skill building and more.

The core of effective therapy involves creating a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship where you can be yourself. In my work with individual adults and couples, I focus on building this foundation so we can explore those deeper emotions (anger, fear, grief, shame) and promote more supportive connections. My approach is flexible and completely dependent on your needs, but my goal is always to make you feel more whole, whether that means discussing the past, the present, or focusing on the future.

I’ve been working as a child & family therapist at least 10 years dealing with trauma and addiction. From there I branched out to work with adults. As a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, I am passionate about healing and growth. I can work closely with you to provide a safe and confidential space for renewing and rewiring our brain. Are you struggling as a couple? We often overcompensate in our relationships often due to ignoring past hurts and fears, repeating the same patterns without even realizing it because it’s so familiar. And what we resist persists. Let’s work together to peel these layers to the beautiful real you.
