Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hello and welcome! My name is Wanda Briggs, a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina. I am excited to greet you here at the beginning of your journey to embrace healing, growth, and balance. I am wondering if you are experiencing difficult and overwhelming situations in your life which are challenging or painful to manage; if so, I have a strong personal commitment to provide an empathic approach, taking time to truly get to know you and to understand your situation I am committed to helping you navigate these toughest moments- life transitions, struggles in grief and loss, coping with anxiety, depression, or strained relationships. You are not alone as you work to improve your life. I wish to join you in this important work of moving forward and becoming your best self.
I have worked in the field of counseling for more than 25 years, receiving my PhD in counseling from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. My approach is holistic and person-centered including the mind, body, and spirit and is tailored to you and your personal experience. I integrate a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Integrative Therapy. We will work collaboratively in a therapeutic partnership. My goal is to hold space that is open and without judgment, encouraging the authenticity of your thoughts and feelings to effectively create personal therapeutic solutions that foster greater insight, perspective, and positive transformational change.
As we develop a counseling relationship, I will partner with you to set goals, educate you in aspects of what you may be experiencing, and walk with you on your healing and growth journey. I am impassioned to collaborate with individuals experiencing loss, grief, and life transitions. Multiple issues arise relating to loss- loss of a loved one, loss of hopes/dreams, loss of a marriage or intimate relationship; and, working through loss requires time, connections, and a safe place. I can help you reconnect with yourself and redefine what is necessary to help you live your life with new understanding and purpose.
The counseling relationship is the foundation for successful treatment no matter what therapeutic modalities are utilized. My greatest strength is established in my holistic and empathic approach that fosters a strong, trust-based relationship and that empowers you to navigate your journey toward mental, physical, and emotional well-being with confidence and support.
I consider you an expert on your life experience and therapy is meant to empower you through the difficulties you may face. My work is focused on helping you seek personal growth and change as you navigate these challenges and transitions. This journey is to assist you in finding the solutions and tools necessary to define and live a fulfilling life, your most authentic self with personal freedom, confidence, personal responsibility, and choice.
While everyone is unique, I have found that clients show notable progress in 6-8 sessions. In these sessions, the client develops an understanding of distressing needs/struggles, demonstrates a willingness to work on problems between sessions, and aspires to find mental, physical, and emotional health in a holistic manner.
