Hi, I'm Teshia. Despite your best efforts, do you find yourself on the verge of divorce? Your marriage may be a disaster, but your divorce doesn't have to be! As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with nearly 20 years of experience as a family law paralegal, I possess a unique set of skills that are invaluable to those who find themselves in the throes of divorce. In addition to providing support through one of the most difficult life transitions, understanding that the legal process of divorce has the potential to inhibit the healing process and completely devastate families, I provide my clients with a better way to divorce...a way that builds up instead of tears down...a way that refashions your family instead of leaving it shattered. Since every ending brings a new beginning, my goal as your therapist is to guide you through the uncertainty of divorce, help you regain your balance and help you lay the foundation for a HEALTHY new beginning. No matter where you are in the divorce process, whether working as your therapist or as your divorce coach, I am dedicated to helping you regroup, recover and grow. "GREAT IS THE ART OF BEGINNING, BUT GREATER IS THE ART OF ENDING." -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Hi, I am a Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in North Carolina. I received my degree from Saybrook University in California and have been practicing for the past 15 years. I have specialized training in Somatic Experiencing and Attachment Therapy. I work with adults to resolve symptoms of stress, shock, and trauma that accumulate in our bodies and nervous systems transforming patterns that get stuck and impact our daily life. I support clients in bringing their nervous systems back into balance getting out of fight, flight and freeze to strengthen one's sense of safety, resourcefulness and resilience in the world. Some of the techniques I use are helping clients slow down and attune to what is happening in their bodies. I also work with clients on "resourcing" or finding tools to help them self soothe when they are feeling emotionally overloaded.

I help people by meeting with them, learning about their problems and discovering ways for them to feel more at ease. The most common issues that I help people with involve their moods (for example sadness, worrying, anger or stress) and with their relationships. All types of people come to see me; people just like you who have hit a bump in the road and want to help themselves feel better again. I've focused on adults and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, controlling anger, family conflict, substance abuse, and behavioral issues.

Being a Licensed Clinical Social Worker not only means that I am passionate about Mental Health, but I am also focused on your environment, meaning I look at external factors that impact your situation. When I started Graduate School, I went in with the notion of studying Psychology until I came across the Social Work Program, after doing some extensive research into the profession, I decided that is what I wanted to do. I learned I can help individuals with their Mental Health as well as take a holistic approach to address any barriers they may face while working towards their goals. I absolutely LOVE being a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and helping individuals reach goals they’ve set for themselves.

Welcome! If you're reading this message, you're probably ready to make some life changes or find a place to be understood. You are? Keep reading. My hope is that if you're feeling disappointed, overwhelmed or just want to work towards your goals and refocus, we address that together. Therapy can seem overwhelming, but I believe that everyone should have a non-biased person to work out their challenges with that can't and won't talk to anyone else in their circle about those challenges. Imagine how much easier things would be if everyone had a therapist! As you may be able to see, I love using humor (good or bad) to help break the ice, and want to develop a trusting relationship that allows you to feel comfortable exploring the areas in which you may need more support. This looks different for everyone, we may explore relationships, self-esteem or future goals. It's all driven by you! If you've kept reading this far, we may be a good match to work with one another! The biggest key to therapy is finding someone that you feel you can be authentic with, so give me a call to see if we're a good fit to do some work together! No matter what, I hope you're able to reach those goals and generate joy and fulfillment in your life!

Need faster healing that addresses mind, body, and emotions? Whether you’re navigating a short-term challenge or seeking to dive deep into longstanding patterns, I offer a gentle, fast, and holistic approach to healing. My work addresses trauma, heartbreak, confusion, inner child work, grief, anxiety, toxic family dynamics, breakups, relationship issues, narcissistic abuse recovery, major life transitions, car accidents, illness-related challenges, or just needing someone to help work through issues. Many of my clients come to me after trying traditional talk therapy that felt too surface-level or slow. They’re seeking something deeper—something that truly connects the mind, body, spirit, and emotions. My integrative approach combines evidence-based practices (neuroscience, EMDR, CBT, solution-focused strategies) with holistic methods like writing, breathwork, customized meditation, and somatic processing. It’s holistic, real, and focused on genuine, upfront conversations to create meaningful change. I'm also a spiritual life coach and have travelled and helped many on this journey. My style is honest and direct—I work best with clients who are motivated, open to feedback, and ready to actively engage through writing, homework, and weekly sessions.

I love to go hiking and kayaking, am currently learning Spanish and the drums, and love a good gaming session with my friends. --------------------------------------------------------------*IMPORTANT UPDATE* If you were impacted in any way by hurricanes Helene, Milton, or other significant tropical storms - please let me know in your initial intake. I am currently offering a number of free/sliding scale sessions to those affected.

Hi there, I'm Jenni! Feeling stuck and frustrated? Struggling to deal with the loss of a loved one? Trying to find balance in your life while coping with chronic illness? Expecting an upcoming change? Not able to sleep or stay on top of things in your life? I am here to help! Therapy cannot be effective if we are not meeting your specific needs and goals. I want to meet you where you are and together identify a path forward. I like to understand you, your values, and your background while also giving you solution-focused interventions you can utilize to make changes. If talking it through without homework is the way you want to go, that is fine too! We are all capable of change and moving forward but sometimes it is the dialogues in our head, relationships, or other factors that are getting in our way. Therapy is a great place to work through those and be more connected with what you value in your life. Let's work together!

I am a professional counselor, consultant, human development and nature healing specialist. I am licensed with the state of North Carolina Board for Licensed Professional Counselors (#6516) and a National Certified Counselor (#229164). I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education in 1996 and both Masters and Specialists degrees of Education in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Florida in August of 2000. My continuing ed & training focus has mainly been on trauma and dissociation throughout the last 26 years. The majority of my life experiences have centered around learning as much as I can about trauma and dissociation; how we can increase our awareness in order to increase our "window of realness." We often hear about improving our "window of tolerance" in order to tolerate the ever more increasing demands of our world. By increasing our "Window of realness" we move toward our most authentic selves. I often use an eclectic approach bringing together a variety of types of therapy to help my clients express what they need to express from the various different developmental levels that traumatic material gets stuck within. For example in one session you may find we start out by talking and end by drawing, playing, or dancing. Whatever brings you in: trauma, grief, struggling with dissociation, anxiety or depression, it's my hope that by providing a soft place to land, you will feel comfortable enough in your own skin to begin to be curious to explore what's on your mind. You'll feel acknowledged, respected and empowered as an individual, as a human being, with rights and needs, through the compassionate and empathic way that I will relate with you. From, the very first session, you can begin to claim back your power.

With a deep passion for helping young minds navigate their emotional journeys, I am committed to providing a safe and supportive space where children can express themselves freely and discover their inner strength. My journey into the field of child mental health began with a strong desire to make a positive impact on the lives of young individuals.

My specialized training and education have equipped me with a solid foundation in child psychology, developmental theories, and evidence-based therapeutic interventions.

I am truly grateful for the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children and their families. Witnessing the transformative power of therapy and seeing the resilience and growth of the children I work with is immensely rewarding. It is my heartfelt mission to help children develop the necessary tools and skills to navigate life's challenges.

You deserve support, and if you are coming with your partner , you both do, no matter how hard the road ahead may seem. You need someone that will strive to understand you, but commit to supporting you in moving towards change that feels meaningful. While I will never pretend to know your exact pain, I do find that my experience juggling life as a parent, a partner, and in demanding careers such as corporate leadership and skilled trades have often helped me find a traction point to connect with you , so I can support you.
