As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space for individuals facing anxiety, stress, and performance-related challenges. My approach is collaborative, focusing on identifying your strengths and developing practical tools for mental well-being. My goal is to help you build resilience and achieve your personal and professional goals through personalized support.
Hi, I’m Liz! I help clients heal from past trauma and uncover the root of what’s keeping them feeling stuck. Trauma can shape the way you see yourself, others, and the world—often showing up as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or difficulty setting healthy boundaries.
My work focuses on addressing these deeper patterns to support lasting healing and meaningful personal growth. For those who desire it, I also offer the option to integrate Christian faith into the counseling process.
I believe therapy should not only be effective but also feel human and approachable. We’ll roll up our sleeves and do the work together, while also making space for moments of lightness along the way.
Hi! I'm Charlie. I'm a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist with over 8 years of experience. I enjoy working with individuals 18 and up. I specialize in working with clients who struggle with substance use, managing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and relationship issues in regards to being single or becoming a better partner. I received my BA in Experimental Psychology and my Master's in Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of South Carolina.
I provide psychiatric medication management for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and other mental health concerns.
Hello, and welcome. My name is Lina Roe and I have over 30 years of experience in the field of social work, helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, understanding, and respect. I have been a licensed therapist in North Carolina for the past 3 years.
I believe that every person deserves to be heard, valued, and supported. My approach is compassionate, open-minded, and nonjudgmental, creating a safe space where you can openly share your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I strive to meet you where you are, offering empathy, validation, encouragement, and practical tools to help you move toward your goals.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, grief, stress, or simply feeling overwhelmed, I am committed to walking alongside you on your journey. Together, we'll build on your strengths, explore solutions, and work toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.
Seeking therapy is a courageous step, and finding the right therapist is an important part of that process. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, understood, and empowered as we work together to improve your well-being and create the life you want.
I look forward to the opportunity to support you on your journey toward healing, growth, and resilience.
I enjoy working with people who are interested in returning to the truth of who they are. I value people. Intuition is often within my work with people. I am honored to walk with people in their orientation to healing and health in the ways important to them. Harmony in mind, body, and spirit.
A holistic trauma informed approach with a culturally grounded orientation to care is my offering. I love to incorporate breath work and somatic work in with talk therapy all while centering values.
I respect the courage of getting to this point. It’s reasonable that we all would benefit from support so I am happy to walk you home to you, the truth of you that deserves liberation, healing and health because your life has value and I’m so glad you’re here. You deserve it all.
A defining part of my therapy work is that I provide highly-personalized psychotherapy services for each of my clients. With almost 7 years of experience, I have tailored my focus on trauma and complex trauma in adults. Whether we use EMDR or talk-therapy, it is my goal as a therapist to learn about your story, witness you in your present reality, and help you build a more hopeful future.
I see counseling as a walk between two people, a time to discuss the ups and downs of life. I am person centered; solution focused and draw from a wide range of CBT mindfulness and Accelerated Resolution Therapy techniques that will help my clients find their own unique path in life.
Life can begin to feel overwhelming when you’re carrying stress, anxiety, emotional exhaustion, relationship challenges, or self-doubt while still trying to show up for work, school, family, and everyone around you. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in survival mode — overthinking, emotionally drained, struggling to communicate their needs, battling negative self-talk, or feeling like they have to keep everything together even when they are struggling internally. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone, and you do not have to navigate it by yourself.
Healing does not mean becoming a completely different person. Often, it means learning how to care for yourself with more understanding, confidence, balance, and grace while creating healthier ways to move through life’s challenges. Whether you are navigating stress, relationship difficulties, identity concerns, burnout, or simply feeling overwhelmed by life, therapy can be a space to pause, process, heal, and reconnect with yourself.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, but you do not have to have everything figured out before reaching out. I would be honored to support you in your healing journey and help you move toward the version of yourself that feels more grounded, confident, and emotionally supported.
My own experiences with grief and loss eventually led me to do this work. I have a background working in inpatient palliative care where I learned to support patients with serious illness. My experience has helped me understand navigating the medical system and supporting individuals who are experiencing illness and loss. As a Latina of Mexican-American descent, I also see clients who prefer to do sessions in Spanish.
You replay conversations long after they're over. You shut down or say too much, then spend the day wishing you hadn't. You're not bad at relationships. You're anxious in them. You hold back. You give in to keep the peace, then quietly resent it. You want to be closer to the people you love. but something always gets in the way. It doesn't have to stay this way.
