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.
Life can feel overwhelming, confusing, and deeply exhausting. You might find yourself stuck—unsure of how to move forward, questioning your path, or longing to feel whole again. If that resonates, you don't have to navigate alone.
Therapy with me is grounded in empathy, acceptance, and respect. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, sex and intimacy issues, trauma, or simply seeking deeper meaning, I offer a non-judgmental space where your story is honored, and your goals are supported. I work with adults and couples and have training in EMDR and am a certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional.

Hi! Im Ryan Bell, an LCMHC, and I have been working with young adults, adolescents and their families for over 15 years in a variety of settings, from boarding schools to homeless shelters, to wilderness therapy. I have had extensive experience in supporting anxiety, depression, crisis interventions, trauma, and behavioral concerns in adolescents, while supporting parents in their personal journeys to figure out how to put their own oxygen mask on before they can help themselves.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Wake Forest, NC
Searching for therapists in Wake Forest starts with finding the right fit for what you want to address in care. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare Wake Forest therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, training, and approach match your needs. Provider bios can help you see whether a therapist uses methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.
Wake Forest has local therapy options, and the broader Wake County area can add more choices. Since local appointment openings may vary, virtual therapy can make it easier to find a therapist whose schedule and focus fit what you need. When narrowing your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers in-person or virtual appointments, has appointment times that work for your calendar, and offers a free phone consultation. Reading each profile before booking can help you understand their communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns like yours.
Therapy in Wake Forest can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can browse profiles, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
