Tania Arcos

Tania Arcos, MS, LPCA, NCC - 828-335-7315

My counseling services are primarily based on the person-centered perspective with a wellness approach, focusing on personal strengths. I integrate a variety of theories in my work, including existential, psychodynamic and solution-focussed, so that I may use the methods that best work with your individual needs. One of my goals as a counselor is helping you learn ways to use your strengths and provide you with new tools to help you deal with future challenges, even after you leave counseling. I have six years of experience working with children and adults in the mental health field. I graduated from Western Carolina University with a Masters degree in Community Counseling in 2009. I work with adolescents and adults in individual, group, and couple counseling. Some of my specialties include grief and loss, self-esteem, childhood trauma, adolescent behavioral issues, attachment-related issues in both children and adults, as well as couple solution-focused therapy. I am fluent in both English and Spanish and can work with individuals and couples who use these as their primary languages.

Kathy Hogan

Kathy Hogan, MS, NCC - 828-275-3694

I received my Master’s Degree in Community Counseling from Western Carolina University (2008), my Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration and Accounting from the University of Maine (2002), and certificate in Nutrition for Optimal Health, Wellness, and Sport from San Diego State University (2011). I have over 7 years of experience working with adolescents and adults in therapeutic settings including schools, community setting, agencies, residential and wilderness settings. My experience has led me to work with adolescents and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, identity development, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and weight loss and management. I have also worked in prevention of substance abuse and disease. With a focus on overall wellness, we will examine how physical, emotional, and mental aspects of your life contribute to the level of health that you desire. In gaining a comprehensive look at your whole person, I will draw upon your strengths and employ realistic, solution focused methods to empower you to reach your desired level of health and well being. The approaches I use most stem from person-centered and cognitive-behavioral therapies, but I often incorporate psychodynamic, reality, expressive arts, and experiential techniques to suit the needs of the individual. I have also used animal-assisted therapy as animals can be calming and provide a unique means of connection and understanding. I value and respect the challenge of finding balance and optimal wellness and strive for this myself. In my spare time, I enjoy running, biking, knitting, gardening, cooking, reading, and hanging out with my dog, Wayah. My goal is to help you reconnect with your inner gifts and build skills that you can use on your own throughout life. Please feel free to contact me with questions, to discuss the therapy process, or to discuss how therapy can help you achieve optimal wellness and balance.
