Keisha Moss-Betteridge

As an LCMHC in NC, I help children, adolescents, and adults step out of survival mode, manage daily overwhelm, and reclaim their lives. True healing requires an open, flexible path and true compassion. Blending tools like CBT, DBT, psychoanalysis, mindfulness, and body-based somatic work, we will use clinical depth, somatic intuition, and gentle humor to calm your system. I value transparency and view therapy as an equal, unified partnership. I am deeply invested in your growth and look forward to helping you discover your own internal resilience.

I practice an active, participatory style of therapy—you are the expert on your life story, and I am your collaborative partner.

Here is what you can expect from my approach:

• Empowering Psychoeducation: I help you understand the 'why' behind your symptoms, providing a clear map of how trauma and chronic stress impact your brain and nervous system.
• Mind-Body Integration: Our core work blends the practical thought-reframing of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with the physical grounding techniques of Somatic Experiencing.
• Flexible Frameworks: Your journey is uniquely yours. While CBT and somatic work are my primary toolkits, I actively draw from other evidence-based modalities whenever your specific goals or circumstances warrant a different approach.

Together, we will build a customized, sustainable toolkit to help you regain your calm and find your joy again.

First sessions can naturally bring up a little anxiety, so our time together is all about building safety, connection, and a shared roadmap. We will start by reviewing your intake paperwork and addressing any immediate questions you have about therapy. From there, I will invite you to share what has been causing you the most overwhelm lately, going entirely at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

Because my style is participatory, this will feel like a conversation rather than a one-sided interview. We will collaboratively explore your current goals and begin some light psychoeducation so you can understand what is happening in your mind and nervous system. You will walk away from our very first hour with a clear sense of how we will work together, a preliminary plan tailored to your needs, and a predictable path forward.
