Jenny Graham, LCMHC (she/her)
​
Therapist for Individuals and Couples in Charlotte, NC
As women we face an overwhelming amount of pressure to be perfect. We need a safe, non judgmental space to express our fears of never being “good enough.” My goal as a therapist is to listen and provide you support as we navigate the unique challenges and pressures you face every day. This is a space for you to put yourself and your well-being first, something we don't often feel like is an option as a mother and woman.
I also enjoy working with the dynamic of couples. I am Gottman Level 1 trained and use this science-based approach in couples counseling. In addition, I have completed training in Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorders through Postpartum Support International, therefore I am also able to serve women who are experiencing fertility challenges or going through pregnancy and postpartum. ​​
When combined these trainings help me provide support for couples, families and individuals going through postpartum, pregnancy, infertility including complications that accompany these life transitions.
​
In addition I think it is helpful to focus on how trauma and life experiences can impact maladaptive thoughts on identity. This may include your identity as a woman, a mother, a queer person, a person of color, or any other identity you bring to our sessions. I strive to create an inclusive environment where we can explore these identities, how they intersect, and how you can become your best self.
​
I am also passionate about creating an inclusive space for LGBT+ clients. As queer women, it often feels like we face added layers of discrimination, stress, and invalidation. If you are struggling with your identity or feeling that weight of being a queer person, my goal is help you unpack that weight and understand that your experiences are valid and important.
