Counselors, Psychologists, and Therapists in South Charlotte, NC—Ballantyne, Arboretum Area

Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and other social media platforms often make life seem like it is always full of nights out with friends, delicious food, and amazing life milestones. Reality, however, is much more mundane. Joy, without a doubt, is a part of a healthy life, but so are challenge, frustration, conflict, pain, crisis, and heartache. Life is hard at times, and that is okay. Hardship does not have to hold people back. In fact, there is always opportunity in the midst of difficulty. When people accept the challenge and make hard but good changes, they often thrive. They also usually appreciate some help along the way, and a counselor or therapist may be able to provide the support they need.

Accepting the ups and downs of life is a rare quality. It is much easier in the short-term to deny or minimize a problem. Normal feels good, and change can feel painful at first. There is just one problem with denying or minimizing life’s challenges: problems grow while people remain stuck. At Thriveworks Charlotte, we hope our clients experience the opposite: they grow while their problems are addressed, resolved, and left in the past.

In the long-term, acknowledging a hard reality about ourselves, our situation, or our loved one is the path toward growth, opportunity, and freedom. Living in our truth can be a challenge, and no one has to do it alone. Therapists, counselors, and life coaches are available to provide support and guidance. A skilled mental health professional will understand potential pitfalls and opportunities within a given situation and can empower their clients to find a healthy path forward.

Thriveworks Charlotte offers mental health counseling and therapy because we understand that life is hard at times, and thriving often means accepting the hardships and the joys that life brings. Know that we have in-person and online counseling therapy opportunities available.

Mental Health Services through Thriveworks, Charlotte

Hardship might be universal, but each person faces a unique situation. We could never list all the reasons people have reached out to Thriveworks Charlotte for counseling or therapy, but here are a handful:

• Marriage tension.
• Job loss.
• Cannabis use.
• Eating disorders.
• Codependency.
• Suspected child abuse.
• Depression.
• Infidelity.
• PTSD.
• Anxiety.
• Grief.
• Domestic violence.
• Insomnia.
• Addiction.
• Anger management.
• Career counseling.
• Life transitions.

Some of our clients face out-of-the-blue, life-altering crises. A sudden death, a disclosure of an affair, or a job loss can change life in an instant. Other clients face on-going challenges that may have started small but have grown. Addiction, insomnia, and anger may have started as an occasional stress relieving activity, a bad night’s sleep, or a frustrating day, but have become uncontrollable. Many clients face both on-going challenges and unforeseen crises.

Take a minute to think about what is going on in your life. What challenges are there? What are the joys? Counseling and therapy is not a silver-bullet for any problem. But if you are ready to take on life’s challenges proactively, the life coaches, counselors, and therapists at Thriveworks Charlotte are ready to help. Many people are happier and experienced overall improved well-being in the long-run because they chose to make hard but good changes.

Improving Your Mental Health

Mental health and physical health overlap in many ways. Think about how sleeping 8 hours each night, regularly exercising, and eating healthy foods improves a person’s overall well-being. People, in general, feel better when they incorporate habits into their lives that prioritize their physical health. Similarly, when people begin to prioritize their mental health, they often experience improvement in their overall well-being.

Tending to your mind and emotions can lead to many improvements. Just as most people need a doctor or trainer to guide them toward physical health, many need a counselor, therapist, or coach to guide them toward emotional health. A few of the benefits mental health services have brought to clients at Thriveworks Charlotte include:

• Improved self-esteem
• Reduced anxiety
• Clarified life goals
• Better sleep
• Increased energy
• Improved interpersonal skills

Has an unforeseen, life-altering crisis changed your life in an instant? Is there an on-going problem that needs to be addressed? Has life dealt you a combination of the two? Whatever you are facing, know that the counselors, life coaches, and therapists at Thriveworks Charlotte have seen it all. We have helped many people overcome life’s hardship and thrive.
