Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I believe that most people have the answers within themselves to work through their own problems - my role is to help you unlock that inner wisdom. I have experience helping people who are struggling with anxiety and depression, or who are numbing out through substance use. My clients are often working through life transitions and other challenging situations, such as relationship issues, grief, or chronic pain. Perhaps you have not been handling your emotions very well. You may even feel hopeless, or unsure how to articulate what you are feeling. Therapy is a collaborative journey to a more healthy state of mind.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Charlotte

Finding the right LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Charlotte starts with identifying what kind of support you're looking for. Whether you're navigating questions about gender identity, processing experiences related to your sexual orientation, or seeking help with anxiety, depression, or relationship concerns, look for a licensed provider who has specific experience with LGBTQIA+ mental health. Charlotte has a growing community of affirming providers, and reading a provider's bio can help you understand their background, approach, and whether they're a good match before you reach out.

Therapy in Charlotte can be expensive without insurance. One of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs is to see a provider who is in-network with your plan. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist who fits both your needs and your budget.

If you're unsure where to start, a free phone consultation can help. Many providers on Headway offer an introductory call so you can ask questions, share what you're looking for, and see if the provider feels like the right fit — with no charge unless you decide to continue care.
