Spirit Counselors

Kim is a seasoned life coach and yoga therapist with her own private practice in North Carolina. She approaches her work with clients as a partnership and believes that through the coaching process and/or a yoga practice, the client will gain awareness to the answers within. She uniquely integrates life coaching techniques with yoga philosophy to help those working through trauma, depression, body image issues, recovery and general health and wellness issues.  She also works with the special needs community providing support and guidance to children and adults with autism, ADHD/ADD and special needs caregivers for support and self-care.

Rebecca places a strong emphasis on spiritual growth and development and believes it is personal, intimate, and unique. She understands that growth is not measured in allotted time, nor can we accurately compare ourselves to others. Faith and spiritual maturity is an ongoing process. The process is one that gives Becky a great amount of satisfaction as she works with individuals and families. When relationships begin to build, she believes that together you can explore and discover things about yourself that will challenge you to step outside of your comfort zone. Partnering in this unique time together will also allow you to see God’s grace, the Word of God, and His love for you in the most amazing ways. God brings peace and order to our lives and to our relationships with each other. He does not bring chaos and turmoil. One of the highlights of Becky’s call to ministry has been to expose the heart of God in such a way under His guidance that you might begin to see Him as the source of true intimate companionship, strength, healing, and joy in all areas of your lives. She believes we have been given the most incredible gift. That gift is life. The greater gift is acknowledging Christ as the center core of our very being and existence.

Becky graduated from the American Paralegal Institute of Atlanta in 1990. She felt the strong call to ministry several years after and has continued her studies in Religion and Psychology since entering ministry. She has worked in family ministry and as Director of Christian Education and Children and Youth Ministry for the past seventeen years in the United Methodist Church and the Lutheran ELCA.

Jade counsels adults and adolescents with compassion, understanding and encouragement. She also has a background in leading small groups, teaching classes and writing on emotional health and spiritual growth. While treating a variety of issues, some of her specializations include: self esteem and self care, worry and stress, releasing unhealthy attachments, boundaries, guilt, relationships, codependency, faith development and spiritual direction.

Jade places importance in examining what we do (and think) that works for us and what we do that doesn’t. She seeks to replace false beliefs with truths, to bring insights and understanding, and to provide specific direction into a better future. Jade meets individuals where they are and feels honored to walk with them into wholeness.

Believing that God can provide a greater help, Jade incorporates Scripture verses, spiritual discussions and prayer when it is of interest. She enjoys communicating the true nature of God, in ways that help us absorb it more deeply. She focuses on God’s unconditional love, investment in our hearts and power to create change; while also delving into His positive view of us and good desires for our life. Jade believes in being authentic and sharing what God has taught (and continues to teach) her personally, when it is applicable. She asks for His guidance and presence in her counseling and puts great emphasis on the value of prayer.

While many come to Jade for a combined approach of psychology and spirituality, some come with a desire to focus solely on mental well being, and others with the desire to focus solely on their relationship with God. Jade considers us whole beings. She believes that improvement in the mind or spirit will have an affect on the rest of us as well. She also recognizes that the body has an influence on the mind, and when it is desired, Jade will give advice regarding physical care and natural treatments that can benefit the mind and emotions.

People seek the help of a professional coach because they want to change something—something in their relationships, something in their careers, something in their communications, something they are conflicted about or grieving, something that is holding them back from achieving a lifelong dream or that is keeping their self-esteem low. They are ready to identify what relational, situational or emotional challenges they are facing.

Throughout my 30 years as practicing psychotherapist, I have helped people understand why they are who they are—their past and present. As a life coach, I am drawing on my experience to help people become who they want to be—their future. In coaching, we explore, together, what you think, perceive and experience that leads to your decisions and behavior. Together, we discover YOUR best solutions and outcomes.

I work with individuals and couples and also with Baby Boomers on the edge of retirement get from the work they’ve always done to the work they’ve always wanted to do.

I received my coaching certification through Coach Training Alliance, which is accredited through the International Coach Federation, and received the Board Certification through the National Board of Certified Counselors (for those who hold an advanced degree in a behavioral science).

The best way to see if coaching is a fit for you is to sign up for a complimentary session. I look forward to talking with you!

After several years as an addictions counselor in clinical settings, Amanda has expanded her practice to include spiritual counseling and coaching. She believes that many people come to a place in life when they become curious about their purpose and begin exploring what gives their life meaning. Some come to this place through a crisis and some simply feel a lack of passion for life. She explores holistic wellness strategies with clients such as mindfulness meditation, energy psychology, hypnosis, and yoga. She has a personal interest in maintaining an integrated practice of self-care.

As part of her own journey, she has received training in several mind/body/spirit ideologies such as Buddhism, Hinduism, Christian mysticism, Jungian archetypal psychology, and martial arts. She believes that exploring life’s mystery is a personal journey and uses a client centered approach when supporting clients in their own process.
