Compassionate counseling in-person in Asheville and online across the state of North Carolina

Life can feel overwhelming as we navigate the ups and downs of being human. It’s helpful to have a dedicated time and place to talk things out. Let’s find a path toward meaning and hope together. 

Therapy for Depression

Depression can feel really alienating— like there is nobody in the world who understands, and certainly nobody who would care to understand. Therapy gives us the opportunity to feel less alone. It provides a safe place to process these painful feelings and cultivate a greater understanding of ourselves.

Therapy for Alcohol Use

Sometimes alcohol is the only way we know how to deal with life. It’s a method for survival and avoidance. Not to mention, we live in a society that almost expects us to drink. As the common expression goes, “it works until it doesn’t.” Therapy allows us to explore not only the behavior, but also what lies beneath it.

Therapy for Transitions

Transition can awaken deep questions about identity, safety, and belonging. Whether it’s starting a new job, becoming a parent, ending a relationship, or grieving a loss, these moments can be difficult to navigate alone. Therapy invites us to learn more about ourselves and how we want to move forward during these times.
