Holistic Therapy for Anxious Adults Virtually in NC & SC
Solution focused therapy for a more centered approach to life.
Take a Deep Breath, You’re in the Right Place
“I always feel like there is something to worry about.”
Maybe you are feeling emotionally drained after spending time with people in your life. Or experiencing difficulty making decisions and always feel the need to please people. You may feel stuck and just uncertain of how to move forward at this point of your life.
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck in “worry mode”, noticing more panic or dread, or struggling with your self-image, I see you. I’ve been you. The truth is, so many of us are carrying more than we let on—and it makes perfect sense to want a space to let some of that go.
Therapy can be that space. A place to slow down, breathe, and begin again.
As your therapist, my goal is to empower you with tools and insights that foster independence and self-awareness. Together, we'll build a strong foundation for self-acceptance, inner peace, and stability, guiding you toward a more centered and fulfilling life.
Embarking on this journey is a courageous act. Schedule a free consultation with me today to help you navigate becoming your best self.
I’m Makenzie.
I believe you deserve relief from anxiety and to feel more in control of your life.
I’m a licensed therapist based in the mountains of Asheville, NC, and I help millennial adults find their way through anxiety, panic, and self-doubt—toward a life that feels calmer, clearer, and more centered.
I specialize in holistic approaches to healing symptoms of anxiety or panic, obsessive-compulsive behaviors, and alcohol abuse. Drawing from both personal experience and evidence-based, solution-focused practices, I tailor our sessions to meet your unique needs.
By working with me, you’ll learn to manage your anxiety instead of feeling controlled by it. You will learn how to establish boundaries so that you feel more in control, develop skills to minimize anxious thoughts, and feel more confident with how you face your fears in life.
Together, we’ll work on connecting you with your authentic self—the person who is not hiding behind anxiety, depression, or alcohol. Through our work together, we will activate meaningful change and grow a sense of purpose.
The goal isn’t to feel perfect, but rather to feel more like yourself again.
What to Expect in Therapy
I can help you feel more confident in your relationships, learn how to better understand your anxiety, and explore your unlocked potential with a life not consumed by worry.
Your next steps are simple: just reach out and schedule a free consultation. During this brief call, we will discuss what you’re wanting out of therapy and how I can best meet your needs within therapy.
We are working to build a therapeutic relationship. My goal is to create a safe, trusting space that you feel understood, supported, validated, and challenged in. I will bring new techniques and skills, help you get to the root of your issues, and work with you to build a solid foundation so that eventually you don’t need therapy anymore. Because that’s the ultimate goal right? To feel better.
My Approach
-
Holistic Healing
Holistic healing is therapy that addresses the whole person—the mind, body, and spirit—rather than focusing only on one specific symptom.
Together, we explore your issues with more context to see the interplay between mental and physical health, as well as spiritual and social well-being.
-
Anxiety Therapy
Seeking support for anxiety often involves challenging worry thoughts, feeling more connected within your body, and learning new ways to navigate stressful situations.
At the core of treating anxiety should be focusing on building trust in yourself again.
-
Compassion Focused
Compassion Focused Therapy aims to help individuals cultivate self-compassion and compassion for others, addressing issues such as shame, self-criticism, and emotional distress.
It is more than saying positive affirmations daily. This approach becomes your foundation for building self-acceptance.
-
Sober Curious
Therapy for alcohol & substance abuse includes understanding the reasons for drinking as a coping skill. It focuses on processing past traumas, mental health symptoms, and motivations for change.
Changing your relationship with alcohol or wanting to enter a life of recovery involves a lifestyle shift altogether.
