Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Asheville, NC

I am a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), which allows me to care for both mental and physical health in a more integrated way. I work with individuals across the lifespan and support a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, psychotic symptoms, ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, and stress-related challenges.

My background in both psychiatry and primary care helps me understand how closely mental health is connected to physical health, lifestyle, and overall well-being. I strive to provide care that is thoughtful, personalized, and rooted in evidence-based practice.

Hello,

My name is Keisha and I specialize in treating various issues. I appreciate the opportunity to provide my services to you. I create a safe space for my clients, free of judgement and full of understanding.

My qualifications and competence in the area of Counseling are founded on my education, work experience, and additional training in areas relating to the field of counseling. I have over five (5) years’ experience providing services to a wide range of populations including adolescents, adults and couples in school, outpatient, nonprofit, and virtual settings. My specialties include providing counseling services to adults, adolescents, and families surrounding depression, anxiety, trauma, life changes, and emotional regulation.

Before I became a therapist, I spent years in the classroom as a 9th grade English teacher and school social worker, as well as in nonprofit, learning how people grow through story, creativity, and being truly seen. That background, along with a lifelong love of dance, writing, and music, shapes how I practice as an LCSW today. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationships, stress, and identity, and I bring the same warmth and directness I developed in education to every session. If you are looking for a therapist who will be both a steady presence and an honest thinking partner, I would love to connect.

When you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or exhausted from carrying everything on your own, it can be difficult to know where to start. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, substance use, and other life challenges who are seeking meaningful, lasting change and a greater sense of balance and well-being.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide virtual therapy for adults throughout North Carolina via Telehealth, offering a supportive space where you can explore what’s weighing on you, build on your strengths, and work toward the life you want to create. You don’t have to navigate all of this on your own. If you’re ready for support and a space to feel heard, I’m here to help you take the next step.

It has been a privilege to provide psychotherapy to a variety of clients for over 20 years. I have advanced clinical training in trauma, addictions, sexual abuse, mood and personality disorders, and relationships. My therapeutic style is warm, direct, and encouraging. I provide support as you examine core issues and change underlying patterns of behavior or simply gain perspective concerning a recent issue.

As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist Associate (LCAS), I love helping adults struggling with addiction or navigating the challenges of early recovery, as well as other mental health concerns like anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma and more. My goal is to provide a supportive space where you can feel understood, build on your strengths, and move toward meaningful and lasting change.
