Londa Kauffman Bissell, LCMHC, LMHC

Psychotherapist
1612 Asheville Hwy, Ste 3, Hendersonville, NC
I am a licensed mental health counselor in North Carolina (14310) and Florida (20959), based in Asheville, NC, offering in-person sessions here and telehealth in both states. I earned my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Montreat College - Asheville | School of Adult and Graduate Studies and have over 18 years of experience in the mental health field. I believe the client/counselor relationship is key to healing. While I use specific theories and techniques, research shows better outcomes when clients have a trusting relationship with their therapist. I disagree with the idea that people cannot change; change is possible but requires hard work. I tell clients we will create a safe space to experience discomfort—where growth happens. As poet Andrea Gibson says: "I said to the sun, 'Tell me about the big bang.' The sun said, 'It hurts to become.'" You might wonder why endure discomfort in therapy. I use humor and build up to discomfort gradually, always prioritizing safety, trust, and rapport. We also celebrate moments of safety, connection, and joy. Who I work well with: I often work with those experiencing anxiety, PTSD, religious/spiritual trauma and abuse, self-doubt, low self-esteem, depression, interpersonal and relationship struggles, attachment issues, and role changes. I work particularly well with individuals dealing with unresolved trauma and stress. I also support the LGBTQ+ community, providing a safe space to explore identity, accept themselves, develop coping skills, heal from difficult experiences, and decide how to show up authentically in the world.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I am certified in EMDR. I am trained in the Somatic and Attachment EMDR model. I strive to use non-violent communication in session to help invite curiosity and wonder about your present moment experiences. I use mindfulness, meditation, somatic/body work, person centered therapy, Gestalt techniques, polyvagal theory, and experiential therapy. Whether you have been in therapy before or are here for the first time, you are taking a courageous step toward healing and growth. You are in charge of your healing journey, I am here to walk along side of you, offer support, and guide you on this journey.
