Often many of us carry our past experiences and stress without realizing it — to the point where we feel it not only emotionally, but also in our physical bodies. Past traumas, anxiety, depression, feeling stuck, chronic illness, difficult or confusing transition; these are all labels & struggles many of us identify with at some point, but they don't define us. None of us are immune to life's challenges & transitions & we also don't come with instructions on how to navigate these. I meet you where you are in order to do the work of understanding, feeling, implementing helpful coping skills, and healing to address both mind and body.

Is anxiety keeping you from doing the things you love? Do you have concerns about your child's or teen's mental health? Are you a college student having difficulty adjusting to life transitions? It is an act of self-love to prioritize your mental health and emotional wellbeing, and I would love to help you take that first-step. I believe that the strength of the client-therapist relationship is one of the most important elements of successful treatment. You will feel heard, respected, validated, receive constructive feedback, and gain greater understanding in a safe, non-judgmental environment.

Maybe your parenthood journey has been harder than you anticipated. Or you are struggling with feeling good enough. Perhaps you're ending a relationship or starting a new career. You might be feeling disconnected from your partner or children, feeling touched out and overwhelmed. Life is full of change and transitions that can at times leave us feeling alone, anxious and exhausted. Therapy is a safe and accepting space where we can work together for you to boldly live as your authentic self. Imagine being able to focus on your healing and self and turn off the worry.

Dr. Cathy Norton Mental Health &Addiction Recovery

Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC, LCAS, CSOTP, CCTP, SAP

Verified

Feeling broken or overwhelmed? I understand. I've done much research on addiction, codependency & adult children from dysfunctional families. It is possible to overcome barriers to intimacy and learn why we repeat the same relationship mistakes over and over again in new relationships or why we choose unhealthy people. We can change and think differently. It takes effort and accountability, but there is help and hope. Learn from your past. Don't continue to be its victim and let the past determine your future. I work with mental health and all kinds of addictions (substances and behavioral). Let's talk. Live life!

I see a variety of people. My specialties are people with personality disorders, mood disorders, anxiety issues, PTSD, and LBGTQ transitioning issues. I work with the client to determine their goals and introduce them to different modalities to help them. Many people need validation and someone that helps them restructure how they think along with working with desensitizing their nervous system which reduces anxiety and increases their ability to live their life to the fullest. I feel that everyone is trying to do the best they can and, at the same time, they are looking to improve and change.

Stress and anxiety can leave us feeling overwhelmed, unsure and alone. You may be fed up with feeling constantly on edge, explaining it to others who don't understand, or shame over feeling the way you do. You might not even remember a time when you didn't feel this way. Either way, one thing is for sure: you're ready for some relief. You're ready to feel relaxation in your body. You're ready to feel like you can handle what comes your way. You're ready to feel at peace with your decisions. Most of all your ready to live your life with purpose.

There is a little voice in your head that keeps telling you that you cannot do it. You're not good enough. That voice continues to plague you with doubt, anxiety, confusion, and anger. You question: Who am I? What am I supposed to be doing? You are constantly trying to implement change but find yourself unmotivated, procrastinating, and feeling "lazy." You try and it just feels too hard. The voice in the back of your head becomes louder and reminds you that changing is hard. You're then left to spiral into a ball of anxiety or depression.

The guiding principle to my work with others is that you are the expert on you and my job is to give you fresh ways of looking at situations, help you figure out solutions, and help make new ways of living endure. No matter the challenge - mental health, substance use, relationships, transitions, trauma, or a combination of them I work with you to navigate a positive way forward. Leveraging your strengths and guided by your values we work together toward getting you living in concert with your values.

Gwen Borcyk

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LCSW

You might be seeking therapy because you feel like no one has your back, that you just can't handle how much crap keeps pilling up on you, because you doubt your ability to manage the craziness of life, the heaviness of it, the complications of family that you love, but who don't always treat you with love and care, you feel weighed down by "failures" and unable to see your strength and successes despite surviving one hard thing after another, and often with limited or poor support. Or maybe you just feel broken and that no one else cares. The truth is most people aren't broken. They may have hearts or minds that have been sprained, but with the right treatment, they can heal. When people come to see me who feel that "no one cares about them" I'm always reminded of how important it is that AT LEAST ONE PERSON cares...and the fact that they got to my office tells me that the MOST important person they can have rooting for them in their life CARES - THEY CARE. They care enough to get the support they need. And that's the first step to widening that circle to create healthy connections so that they don't have to carry that care alone.

BlueCross BlueShield insurance provides coverage for behavioral health services in Wilmington. BCBS HMO-style plans cover in-network providers while PPO plans provide a benefit that can be applied to either in-network or out-of-network providers. Blue Cross Blue Shield may not require a referral from your primary care practitioner for covered behavioral health services.

Some BCBS Therapists in Wilmington only have room for a few insurance slots in their schedule, so it's important to confirm in-network availability when you book your first appointment.

BCBS is the largest health insurer in the US, covering 110 million members in 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico.
