"I'm here to help. Call me a tour guide of sorts. Call me your cheerleader. Call me your partner on the way to finding solutions.

You're stronger than you give yourself credit for, and I'm here to help you recognize those strengths and find abilities to build

upon in your journey toward change. I specialize in couples, engaged couples (including those seeking pre-marital counseling),

married couples, and young adults dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, loss and attachment issues.

I bring a positive attitude to solution-focused therapy, looking at the present and future while utilizing

relaxation, mindfulness and meditation."

Amanda Parmley

Counselor MA, LPC

"I believe that everyone has the power to author their own story. Sometimes things happen in life that are out of our control and we need a helping hand. It is during these times that counseling can be most beneficial. I work with clients experiencing a variety of concerns, including but not limited to: anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, post traumatic stress and adjustment issues.

I specialize in helping clients identify and achieve their personal goals. I utilize an eclectic counseling approach and regularly integrate mindfulness, hypnosis, and communication skill building into the therapeutic process.

I view the therapeutic process as a journey, in which you are the expert. Making time in one's busy schedule can be difficult and therefore I offer morning, afternoon, and some evening appointments."

Renee Wolf

Renee Wolf

Social Worker, LCSW
Renee is EMDR Part 1 Trained.

"Life is full of twists and turns, often unexpected and challenging to even the most seasoned navigator. Individual, couple, and family therapy can provide relief to those seeking support by regrouping, learning coping skills and gaining helpful insight to promote empowered change. It is my honor to help individuals, couples, and families who are seeking help to either heal, learn new ways to manage their lives or adjust to new challenges. I have extensive experience in the fields of anxiety/depression/PTSD, adjustment, illness, grief, sudden loss, marriage, post-partum depression, blended family, parenting, and addiction. My practice encompasses adolescents to the young at heart.

My education, training, professional experiences allow me to not only meet clients where they are, but also help them develop goals suitable to their needs.

I believe that the spectrum of "normal" is wide and often varies throughout the seasons of our lives, but often we may feel overwhelmed, anxious, fearful, or depressed. My practice is focused on hope and healing, helping you to find your 'normal' again. I am now accepting insurance clients at the Mooresville location."

"Our wounds are often the openings into the best and most beautiful part of us." ~*David Richo*~ Suffering from mood swings, intense sadness, grief, and/or anxiety? If so, I believe together, we can find some relief for you and help you to have a life worth living. Beginning therapy and finding the right therapist can be an overwhelming process - I get it! My approach is person-centered and non-judgmental; no problem is too big or too small not to be recognized and addressed if it is a concern for you.

For the past six years I have practiced in both outpatient and inpatient settings and would like to think of my work as advocacy above all else. My clients would likely say our work together is as challenging as it is validating.

Andrew Sydney

Andrew Sydney

LPC-A

I believe that happiness is found in creating inner balance. We are all perfectly imperfect, and to reach that understanding is one of our greatest challenges as human beings. My experience has provided me with a fantastic opportunity to work with various age groups and cultural backgrounds. My clinical work revolves primarily around teen and young adult populations suffering from a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, family and interpersonal relationships, ADHD, and mood disorders. Additionally, I have experience teaching social skills training and behavioral modification with teens and young adults on the Autism Spectrum.

I have a passion for working with teens and young adults, and believe that the primary issues facing these populations revolve around resiliency and identity development. I believe my job is to act as an agent of support during these developmental milestones, and I use empathy, compassion, and humor to help facilitate positive change.

I utilize a variety of techniques to meet the needs of the individual client including Existential, Family Systems, Mindfulness therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I welcome the opportunity to meet with people of all ages, and hope that we can form a unique bond which will facilitate positive change in your life!
