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.
I believe therapy works best when there is a strong connection between therapist and client. My style is warm, genuine, and direct. I'll offer compassion and support, but I'll also help you recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
As a trauma-informed therapist and EMDR specialist, I create a space where you can be yourself without judgment. Clients often tell me they feel comfortable with me quickly because I show up as a real person—not just a therapist.
I believe healing happens through both insight and action. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and empowered to create meaningful change in your life.
My name is Elizabeth Yopp and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience working with children 12 and above, as well as adults of all ages. I'm open-minded and non judgmental, with a patient, flexible and easygoing nature. I value empathy and compassion, have a good sense of humor and pride myself on being an attentive, active listener. I enjoy helping individuals navigate life challenges, such as adjustment issues, depression, anxiety, grief and occupational or relationship difficulties, so they can move forward in a positive direction.

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.
