Iris Whitlock

Therapist

Virtual • Huntersville, NC


Are you tired of being a prisoner to your own negative thoughts, trying everything to ease your sadness and frustration, but feel like you are going in circles? Maybe you've tried self-help books, talking to friends, staying busy, but to no avail. Have you gone through something recently or in the past, which was traumatic and painful, where you feel like keeping to yourself is safest, and doing whatever you can to not get hurt again? Maybe you feel unsure about the world, anxious, unmotivated, and don't know why.


Imagine what it would be like to wake up and not feel so anxious, and able to combat nagging, negative beliefs. Whether you have depression or anxiety, stemming from traumatic experiences or chronic illness, imagine being able to gain strength to gently put these experiences into perspective, and move on about your day.


Let me provide you with healing techniques and tools which I have utilized with many clients. Free yourself from the past and finally find "you" again. OR, let me help you find the new YOU. I offer free phone consultations, as having conversation over the phone with your clinician first, could put you at ease. Don't delay your peace, reach out now.

Jullee Capshaw

Therapist

Virtual • Cornelius, NC


Hello! I’m Jullee Capshaw, MA, LCMHC (she/her/hers). I began working in the mental health field in 2018 at a psychiatric hospital in Atlanta, GA, where I developed a strong foundation in supporting individuals through complex challenges. I later worked as a Registered Behavior Technician at an autism behavioral clinic, providing ABA therapy to children and their families.

I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of North Georgia and my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from UNC Charlotte. During graduate school, I completed an internship at Davidson College while continuing my work with children with autism.

I am now a fully licensed counselor and am grateful to have my own practice, where I strive to create a supportive, compassionate space for clients to grow and heal.

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 Fayetteville

Finding the right LGBTQIA-affirming therapist in Fayetteville, NC starts with knowing what to look for. An affirming provider does more than accept your identity — they understand the specific stressors that LGBTQIA individuals may face, including experiences related to coming out, discrimination, family dynamics, and navigating relationships. Look for a licensed provider (such as an LCSW, LPC, psychologist, or psychiatrist) who lists LGBTQIA-affirming care as a specialty and describes their approach in their bio. Reading how a provider talks about their work with LGBTQIA clients can help you gauge whether they're a good match before you reach out.

Fayetteville has a range of mental health providers, but finding one who is both affirming and accepting new patients can take time. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions in the Fayetteville area or virtual appointments, which can expand your options across North Carolina. A free phone consultation is one of the most reliable ways to assess whether a provider's style and expertise align with what you need.

Therapy in Fayetteville can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use in-network coverage. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as little as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an LGBTQIA-affirming provider who is covered by your plan.
