Hello. My name is Paige Fuqua. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina. I earned my master's degree in counseling from East Carolina University and have 13 years' experience as a counselor. I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, and adults who are seeking support in making life changes, improving relationships, and feeling better both mentally and physically.
Clients can expect to identify what brought them to seek therapy and the outcomes they hope to achieve.
My greatest strengths as a provider are my listening skills, insightfulness, and commitment to the therapeutic process. I believe all clients have the strength and ability to change and improve their circumstances. I am honest, direct, and supportive of my clients. I do not give advice or impose my personal beliefs onto clients.
I have used CBT in practice with adolescents and adults. I use it in my practice to learn what clients want out of life, what they want to change, and then supporting them in achieving those goals. My role as a therapist is to listen, teach, and encourage, while the client’s roles is to express concerns, learn, and implement that learning. CBT is patient-centered, and solution focused. Every client has the ability to change if they are willing to do the work.
