Do you experience feelings of anxiety, stress, or trauma? Are these concerns impacting you at home, work, or other places? Seeking therapy can be scary, however, you have made the right descision.

Hello! My name is Clover and I am a licensed clinical therapist and addiction specialist in the state of North Carolina and I use she/her pronouns. I look forward to the opportunity of learning and working together as part of our therapeutic process. I enjoy working with folks who are gender diverse and members of the LGBTQIA+ community who experience unique stressors and conflicts with their day-to-day lives. I also love working with folks who struggle with substance use either in addition to other life stressors or on its own. I started my clinical work with addiction and grew as a therapist and person to see people from a whole-person perspective. Our difficulties, conflicts, our stressors do not define us for who we are and when they prevent or delay us from becoming our authentic selves is where the therapeutic process blossoms. As a person who identifies as gender diverse, I have lived through many difficult life circumstances where I have learned and grown as a person. I have first-hand navigated through complex systems and emotionally wrought situations to become my authentic self and continue to do so. I believe everybody is always in a constant process of growing into our best selves and I hope to have the opportunity to work with you along this process too.

In our work together, you will explore ways to evolve into the person you want to be. I have 15 years of experience assisting clients with a wide range of mental health and relational issues. I am highly skilled in trauma-informed, evidence-based, and solution-focused treatment. I will provide a supportive, therapeutic environment for people with diverse backgrounds and complex interpersonal issues. Over the years, I discovered the best way to address dysfunctional thoughts, feelings, and actions is through examining the impact of events in the past, interpersonal interactions, and relationships. Connections to others (or lack thereof) play a role in how we operate, our current ability to feel joy, manage stress, and meet our potential. I became a relationship expert to help others find a resolution to how they are who they are. I believe connection with others is what makes life have meaning for people. I also believe in redemption. People can change.

Feeling overwhelmed, stressed, and exhausted constantly? Isolated and alone because you don’t want to burden your friends or family with your problems? Or maybe you don’t know quite how to name why you feel this way or how to talk about it. Well, there is the good news - therapy is the place to explore the challenging thoughts and feelings you're having. I’ve worked in the mental health field since 2016, helping people of all ages, backgrounds, and challenges. I approach mental health challenges with a holistic mindset to help identify what we can change, inside of our control, and to increase reliance. Depression, anxiety, ADHD, and trauma are just a few examples of mental health struggles that impact the way we live and experience the world around us. However, the opposite is also true! Because our lifestyles can influence our ability to tolerate stress and feel good about ourselves. My job as a therapist is to help you work through what is working, and what isn't working, and what we can do about it. I believe by working as a team and supporting you in achieving your goals, you will reconnect with the strength, resilience, and confidence inside you to better manage the ebb and flow of life's challenges. Why choose me? Well, to help me feel like less of a stranger, here is more detail about my background. I received my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lenoir Rhyne University's Graduate Center of Asheville, NC in December 2020. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Longwood University in Farmville, VA. I'm a Qualified Mental Health Professional with five years of direct care experience with adolescents in residential treatment. My graduate internship was community and school-based outpatient therapy with Access Family Services, where I earned over a year of experience. Since August of 2021, I've worked as an outpatient therapist, both in-person and virtually, with a company in the Chapel Hill area. I work with individuals of all ages and presenting concerns, however, I specialize in helping adults resolve issues related to anxiety, depression, suicidality, trauma, ADHD, parenting, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I use evidence-based techniques and practices to support your personal growth and development, such as Person-Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing for connection and empowerment through the therapeutic relationship; ACT to support increasing distress tolerance and connecting with personal values; CBT to explore the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; and Mindfulness to support increased self-awareness, grounding and stress reduction.

Guided by a holistic perspective, I recognize that your journey towards authenticity and empowerment encompasses every aspect of your being – mind, body, and spirit.

Do you feel pulled in different directions, unable to fit it all in? Are you struggling to keep up with your relationships, work, and health balanced? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? I help you manage anxiety and avoid burnout. Together, we can identify what's not working and get you back to balance. We'll address the needs of your mind, body and spirit.

Whether you're dealing with overwhelm, relationship issues or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice.

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.
