Mental Health Therapist in Cornelius, NC

---

Our newest location and the home of our second Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program. Set in beautiful Cornelius minutes walk to the lake and Robbins Park. 

 Finding the right therapist matters. Our Cornelius clinicians provide individualized therapy for teens and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, stress, eating concerns, and other challenges. We take time to understand what brings you to therapy and develop an approach based on your individual needs and goals. 

Our Cornelius office also provides couples and marriage counseling for couples who want to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, work through conflict, or feel more connected in their relationship. Whether you are facing a specific challenge or simply feel that you have grown apart, therapy can provide a place to better understand one another and begin moving forward together.

 Therapy should never feel one-size-fits-all. Our clinicians draw from evidence-based and experiential approaches to help you better understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop practical coping skills, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change in your life. 

Samantha is our Cornelius Leadership team Member. She sees clients in our office on Village Harbor drive or virtually anywhere in NC. Samantha's specialties are eating disorders, teens, and couples. She is an integral part of our Intensive Outpatient program team providing leadership and supervision to our IOP staff. If you would like to schedule a session with Samantha call (919) 893-9444 option 1.

As your therapist, you are my focus and we will work together to build a life that you deserve and find fulfillment in.  We will explore why we do what we do, not with judgment but with compassion. All behaviors make sense and you will gain insight to explain behaviors and learn to heal from previous hurts. There is no room for judgement in my sessions, we are learning the root causes of unskillful behaviors and how to interact in the world, develop healthy relationships, all while maintaining your needs and acting in congruence with your values. We will create goals for therapy and celebrate the successes (large or small), and continue to build on the progress.  

I have years of experience working with adolescents, family conflict, eating disorders, parenting challenges, and couples. 

My therapy style is client focused and I use a wide variety of techniques to tailor to the clients needs. 

I am a family therapist by training and use a Structural Family Therapy approach to identify the needs of the family system, identify the problematic cycles and the internal strengths, and improve the overall functioning. I can help families learn to manage the challenges of parenting adolescents with big feelings in a safe relationship that develops trust and respect. 

I teach my clients healthy coping skills with a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. You will learn how to allow space for being uncomfortable and gain confidence to be able to regulate your emotions and not let your emotions control you.  Emotional progress is not linear and I will be here with you during the ups and downs. 

Danielle provides support to our clinicians and clients in our Cornelius adolescent intensive outpatient program and to clients wanting to pursue lower cost treatment options.
