Individual Therapy

Individual therapy is extremely effective for those seeking professional treatment to address a very broad range of emotional or behavioral challenges.  With the right therapist, an open mind, and effort-therapy could change your life.

Happy family

Family Therapy

Our families can be very complex systems. With multiple personalities and communication styles, often times conflict and frustration feel like the norm- and for some families that may be a reality. Family therapy can be incredibly helpful for identifying sources of conflict, establishing expectations, and improving communication. We believe every family has strengths. Often times identifying those strengths can be a challenge for family members; but with help, this could be the first step towards establishing the peace your family deserves

Children & Adolescent Therapy

Children and adolescents, though incredibly resilient, face many of the same emotional challenges as adults. Often times emotional distress such as anxiety or depression might look like defiance or non-compliance in youth. Therapy can help with identifying underlying issues and developing coping skills to address and decrease undesirable behaviors.

“Trauma destroys relationship, but relationships destroy trauma” - Unknown

 

It is proven that the therapeutic relationship is a major key to supporting individuals build positive and long lasting change. The therapy room creates a safe space that is built on trust, respect, care, and genuine support to help increase openness, honesty and healing. Meet Konje Byron, a therapist who understands this phenomenon quite well.

Konje is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in the state of North Carolina who received her Masters in Professional Counseling at Liberty University. She is experienced in working with children, adolescents, adults, as well as children and adolescents of the special needs community. She holds a certification in Family Centered Treatment and Life Coaching. She is also trained to offer a faith-based approach of counseling.

Konje specializes in working with individuals who suffers from anxiety, difficulty coping with life stressors, grief and loss, relational conflict, communication challenges as well as those navigating and adjusting to life transitions. She has an extensive history of working with individuals with trauma and offers trauma informed care. Konje especially has a heart for parents who need a safe space to BE and breathe. Parents who desire to work on disrupting negative generational patterns by establishing and creating more healthy and sustainable ones, therefore building a long lasting impact for their children and generations to come.

Although Konje uses an eclectic approach to treatment, her modality of choice is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as she believes that our belief system shapes and drives our lives and decision making. She also integrates CBT with Resources for Resilience strategies that offers mindfulness and rapid resets to help alleviate stress related physical discomfort as they arise.

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t how hard you hit; it’s about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done."– Rocky Balboa
