My heart behind this work is simple; I want to support the emotional well-being of people in our community. My practice is here to offer compassionate, accessible, and high-quality mental health care for individuals and families. I’m passionate about helping people understand themselves better, learn new tools, and feel supported along the way.
I attended the University of South Carolina, served in the United States Air Force.
Hi, my name is Debbi Huntoon. I received a Master of Social Work degree from UNC- Chapel Hill. I am licensed by the states of North Carolina and Virginia as a clinical social worker. During graduate school internships I learned that my ability to help others depended on my willingness to help (change) myself. In the last 37 years I have engaged in my own treatment and have successfully served many clients in a variety of settings: all levels of education settings, inpatient and outpatient services for adult and pediatric patients, hospice, patients experiencing dementia and their families,and the state court system. We are all trying to cope with painful memories and experiences so that we can work, pay our bills, and care for our families.
Hello, and welcome! My name is Tierra Allen and I’m a licensed therapist with over nine years of experience in the field of Social Work, having transitioned into therapy in 2020. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with children, teens, and adults, helping them navigate life’s challenges and develop healthier ways to cope. I specialize in working with men, women and teen girls, helping them regulate emotions, build resilience, and respond to stress in ways that promote growth and emotional well-being. My practice currently serves teens and adults. If you or your teen is struggling with overwhelming feelings or challenges in life, I’m here to support you in creating lasting change and finding peace amidst the chaos with a healthy RESET.
Hey hey! My name is Madison and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate in the State of NC. I received my Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Studies from UNC - Greensboro and my Master in Social Work from North Carolina Central University. I have a passion to work with adolescents and young adults, who aspire to be seen, heard, and ready to do the work towards a better self. As a previous teenager and as a young adult, I empathize with so many lived experiences that take place during these stages of development.
I am a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of clinical and supervisory experience. My approach is unique to each person I meet with. I am warm/supportive as well as gently challenging when needed. Together we we will explore who you are, where you want to go and what may have gotten in your way and create pathways to living with greater understanding and joy.
I treat individuals, couples and families seeking therapy for various reasons including difficulty with depression mood/anxiety, relationships, life transitions and trauma. I have extensive experience with grief/loss and worked in cancer medicine for two and half decades. I look forward to meeting you.











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