Counseling is a place of acceptance where you can learn to see your true value. You hold the keys to your happiness. You just need support to unlock that door. Doing it alone will keep you stuck. You can learn to trust again. I received specialized training in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am also a Registered Play Therapist and enhance parent-child communication. I have an office where I see individuals and families. I also have two large rooms where I teach parents how to use Play Therapy Skills.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Charlotte

Finding the right therapist in Charlotte starts with getting clear on what kind of support you're looking for. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, or stress, look for a licensed provider — such as an LCSW, LPC, LMFT, or psychologist — who has experience with your specific concerns. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they might be a good match before you reach out.

Charlotte has a large and diverse community of mental health providers practicing across neighborhoods like Uptown, South End, Dilworth, Ballantyne, and University City. Many offer both in-person and virtual sessions, so you can choose the format that fits your schedule and preferences. A free phone consultation, when available, is a useful way to get a sense of a provider's style before committing to a full session.

Therapy in Charlotte can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay out of pocket. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
