I’ve been practicing therapy for 25 years, which has included 12 years in NC and prior practice in both Kansas and New Mexico. I’ve worked in community mental health most of my career so I’ve had the opportunity to serve all ages and provide treatment for a huge variety of mental health concerns. I’m pretty down to Earth, open, honest, and genuine. I can be direct when needed to help bring awareness or light to a potential problem area while at the same time me providing support and encouragement. I enjoy hearing people’s life stories and helping individuals navigate their way through difficult life situations and problematic symptoms. No judgment, just a person available to help you find what you need.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Raleigh, NC

Finding family therapists in Raleigh starts with understanding what your family wants support with and what kind of therapist is trained to help. Family therapy can support parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication patterns across generations, and changes in the household. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, which means they look at how family members interact rather than focusing only on one person. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, family therapy experience, and approaches that match your needs, such as family systems therapy, structural family therapy, or parent-focused support.

Raleigh offers a strong mix of local mental health care options, with in-person offices across the city and virtual appointments that can make scheduling easier for families with school, work, or caregiving demands. Family therapy sessions may include the full family, a parent and child, siblings, partners, or individual members at different points in care. It helps to ask about session structure before booking so you know who should attend and what to expect. Reading therapist bios can also show how a therapist works with families, how they describe their communication style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before the first session.

Therapy in Raleigh can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you compare family therapy Raleigh options by showing therapists who are accepting new patients and offer in-person or virtual sessions, with insurance details available to review on Headway. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, then review therapist profiles and schedule directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
