Hello! My name is Kelly. As your therapist my first goal is to create a relaxed, collaborative, judgment free zone where you can feel safe to explore emotions, experiences, and thoughts freely.

Hello, my name is Stephen Pleasant, and I'm a psychotherapist for men. Why therapy for men? Well, because sometimes a man just needs a pork shoulder to cry on. That being said, I will also work with women as well. It’s a recognized human tendency for men to get “stuck” in their lives and to end up “settling” for the status quo when deep down they know they are capable of a great deal more. Here’s the truth; You are never “stuck” with your present circumstances. The Game of Life is a psychological and spiritual journey and winning at this game requires you to change your play and learn to think differently and do things in a new way. I help men break out from being “stuck” in life, resigned to producing results that are disappointing to them and others. My goal is to see transformative progress in men’s confidence, clarity, and self-expression, so that they may gain the fuller personal and work life they thought was beyond them.

Additionally, I received my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. With my extensive training and experience, I am committed to assisting couples, families, and individuals who may be grappling with a range of challenges and obstacles. In my practice, I aim to create a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients can freely express themselves and explore their emotions.

I’m Erin and as an Integrative Psychotherapist, I focus on helping you to achieve balance in Mind, Body, and Spirit. Are you struggling with feeling sad, down, and/or anxious? Have you suffered trauma and/or abuse? Do you feel ashamed and/or guilty? Do you struggle with liking/loving yourself? Do you feel unworthy? Do you compare yourself to others and view yourself as less than and/or behind? Are you finding it difficult to keep up with all the responsibilities and challenges of life? If so, I want you to know that you are not alone, I understand, and I am here for you to create a safe space wherein you can express yourself and be truly heard as well as seen. I specialize in toxic shame, Type 2 Diabetes, and autoimmune-related health conditions such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome & Inflammatory Bowel Disease, and Psoriasis. I wholeheartedly believe in you and your capacity to work through your struggles and create a life of joy and passion.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 21 years of experience. I know that therapy should be a team approach. I have learned that you, the client, are the expert on yourself. I am here to help guide and empower you to discover your full potential. It is important to me to create a safe environment for healing.

Hello! Whether you've found yourself here by chance or boldly stepped into this journey, I'm excited to be your guide in this therapeutic voyage. With over 15 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina, including 6 years dedicated exclusively to counseling, I've had the honor of supporting individuals from various backgrounds.

Greetings, I am Mellissa (Lissa). There are times when everyone experiences struggles. It doesn't matter who you are everyone can benefit from empathy and support during these times. It is important to understand during these periods you are not alone. Whether experiencing long term mental/behavioral health concerns or more short term situational based problems. Having an objective, compassionate individual to gain professional support from who can aid you with developing skills to help you better cope is a significant life line. A therapeutic alliance that is person centered around you and your goals are the center of our engagement. Meeting you where you are at and working together to get you to where you want/need to be is the primary template for successful therapeutic interaction. Areas that we will work towards improving based on your goals of therapy may include problem behaviors, cognitive processes, emotion recognition/regulation, mindful based process, interpersonal skills, coping skills, problem solving abilities and much more. Contact me to start on the road to healing and wellness.

I graduated from East Carolina University in Greenville, NC with a Bachelor's in Psychology and a Master's in Clinical Counseling/Rehabilitation Counseling and Clinical Substance Abuse Counseling. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist (LCAS) and a Registered Nurse (RN) in North Carolina. I work virtually through HIPPAA compliant platforms and believe therapy is grounded in the relationship between Therapist and Client. I have over 15 years of experience and believe your Mental Health is just as-if not more- important as your physical health. I am passionate about helping people LIVE their best life and not merely exist. I believe in accountability and helping people become the best version of themselves.
