Call me Ben! I've been in private practice for 5 years and the mental health field at-large for close to a decade. I'm a big advocate for mindfulness (and ACT) and how it can be used alongside and incorporated into the therapeutic relationship to make tremendous strides in addressing one's mental health. I live in Asheville, North Carolina with my wife and our two cats. I love to go hiking and kayaking, I own a record store where I also work, and love a good gaming session with my friends.

I was drawn into the counseling field from a very early age, always curious about people, their relationships, ideas people embrace, choices they make. How do we solve problems or sometimes find them beyond our wisdom and imagination to solve? Even when we do our very best, sometimes we can’t seem to get it right. That can feel overwhelming and finding a way out can seem impossible. A warm and listening heart can be a big help providing the support needed to find our way again. With over 40 years of experience, I have helped a wide variety of people with many concerns.

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.

Hi, I’m Jonny. I’ve been practicing as a clinician in Western North Carolina since 2016, beginning in community mental health with children and families before transitioning to private practice with adults. That background shaped my core belief that mental healthcare should be accessible, humane, and deeply personal. In my practice, I offer a warm, collaborative space where we balance practical, incremental steps with your bigger-picture goals for meaningful growth. I’d love to connect and talk about what we can accomplish together.

I most often support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and addiction. I understand that addiction is often a response to deep emotional pain, frequently connected to unresolved trauma, and I approach this work with genuine compassion and respect for the complexity of each person’s story. As a therapist, I’m friendly, dependable, compassionate, and easy to connect with, and I’m deeply invested in creating a space where you can feel supported and at ease. My focus is on helping you reconnect with a sense of internal safety, build meaningful self awareness, and develop a more caring and grounded relationship with yourself. I aim to create an environment that feels steady, encouraging, and even a little bit light when it’s helpful, one where healing, resilience, and alignment can grow. Ultimately, my goal is to help you strengthen your capacity to live with authenticity, clarity, and emotional freedom.

Well hello! My name is Lori.
Are you feeling the need to live your life differently? Are the things you've tried in the past no longer beneficial or adequate for this stage in your life?
I encourage my clients to do the things that they've never done in order to experience the life they've always wanted. I help them identify the source of what has limited them and caused them emotional pain, whether it be from anxiety or depression stemming from childhood trauma, broken relationships, toxic work environment, sexuality, aging, or religious trauma to name a few.
I enjoy working alongside my clients and being a part of their "aha!!" moments on their life's journey. I utilize my belief in the interconnectedness of humanity with nature to assist my clients in understanding life, growth, change, grace and what constitutes true success.

Hi, I’m Kendall Hall, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina and a Licensed Independent Social Worker – Clinical Practice in South Carolina. I hold a Master of Social Work from Winthrop University and bring over 10 years of experience supporting individuals through trauma, generational patterns, and seasons of change. I specialize in working with neurodivergent women, women navigating pregnancy and postpartum, and individuals seeking to heal from past experiences and reconnect with themselves and others.
You may feel overwhelmed by the expectations placed on you, disconnected from who you are, or caught in patterns that no longer serve you. Perhaps you're exploring your neurodivergence, adjusting to motherhood, processing trauma, or beginning to recognize how past experiences have shaped your present. Whatever brings you to therapy, you deserve a space where you feel understood, supported, and accepted as you are.
My approach is compassionate, client-centered, strength-based, and trauma-informed. Drawing from mindfulness, somatic approaches, solution-focused therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed work, I support you in developing self-awareness, strengthening coping skills, and cultivating a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
Together, we can explore the patterns you've carried, honor your unique needs, and build skills that support meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to help you move beyond simply getting through each day and toward a life that feels more grounded, connected, and aligned with who you are.
You don't have to navigate this alone. Healing begins with having a space where you can show up as your whole self.
Heal. Live. Love.

My approach is integrative, trauma-informed, and tailored to each individual from ages 6 through 50.. I see neurodivergent clients, LGBTQIA+ challenges, anxiety, depression, trauma, depression with a holistic approach to healing with psychoeducation on brain-body connection and tools to support the nervous system. As a neurodivergent individual, I am naturally attuned to the challenges and strengths of neurodivergent clients … which leads to greater patience, validation and empathy for my clients.

Together, we will work at a pace that feels safe and supportive for you. Therapy may focus on processing experiences, building emotional regulation skills, increasing mind-body awareness, strengthening boundaries, and creating healthier patterns that extend beyond the therapy room.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 12 years of experience, my approach blends a relaxed atmosphere with a clear, goal‑oriented structure. I’ll come to session with my coffee or tea in hand, and I hope you’ll settle in comfortably too. I view mental health as a long‑distance journey — one that requires patience, intention, and respect for the process. Each session follows an agenda designed to support your treatment goals, while still leaving room for anything you need to get off your shoulders. I’m excited to meet you and begin this work together.

Hi, my name is Leslie Travia. I grew up as one of six children and now enjoy spending time whenever possible with my siblings, my many nieces, nephews, and their children. I have two grown children of my own and have been married for over 30 years. Over the years, my family and I have lived in 10 different states as well as in Europe, and I believe each place has deepened my appreciation for diverse cultures and perspectives. I also believe we are never too old to learn something new. I value self-empowerment and strive to surround myself with positivity and kindness.

Greetings and thank you for viewing my page! I am so proud of you for taking this brave step toward self-care and I hope you are equally proud of yourself:)
As a counselor, my passion lies in supporting individuals to reach their fullest potential. Life often presents challenges beyond our control, and early experiences can shape our adulthood. My primary goal is to guide clients beyond their pain, empowering them to embrace change. It’s essential to recognize that transformation requires ongoing effort it’s not an overnight process. Rather, it unfolds second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour, and day by day. I am committed to walking alongside them on this journey toward greater well-being.

Hello, I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am Licensed in the State of Tennessee and North Carolina. I have been practicing as a counselor for the past 4 years however I have been providing counseling services as a Military Chaplain for 20 years and have retired from the Military after over 30 years of service. I see individuals, couples, and families from all walks of life going through many difficult situations. I have walked with them through times of grief, anxiety, loss, separation, suicidal thoughts, etc. I have seen how choosing the right therapist can help a person get through, from the person's perspective, some of life’s hardest times.

What happens during the first therapy session?
What happens during the first therapy session?
Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
