Maureen Dillard
M.A., LPCC, NCC -Therapist (Charleston)Traumatic experiences, divorce, struggles with children, substance use, work stress, life…sometimes as human’s we get to a point where our lives may begin to unravel. I like to think of myself as that extended hand, reaching out, to help someone refind their balance. I like to help my client, which may include children, adults, couples and families step back from the edge and find healthy and positive ways of coping so they can put the threads of their lives back together. Just like we are all different, there is no one size fit all approach, in therapy, that works for everyone. I have been trained in a wide range of modalities, but I find that to help an individual change, it begins with them helping understand that change may begin with a new way of thinking. I lean towards the cognitive/behavioral approaches including dialectal behavior therapy, reality therapy and mindfulness. My educational background includes a MA in counseling with an emphasis in school, as well as a BA in business. I have training in Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am a WV Licensed Professional Counselor and a National Board-Certified Counselor. I have experience working with troubled children, and individuals in recovery. I also conduct motivational workshops for women on a journey of rediscovery. “Today you are you, that is truer than true…There is no one alive who is Younger than You.” — Dr. Suess
