Life, at times, can present us with extraordinary challenges and circumstances leaving us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, depressed, and even hopeless. Emotions from present or past experiences can become so burdensome that we develop unhealthy ways to cope. Symptoms may become so elevated that they affect our ability to function and interrupt family or social relationships. What I provide is an opportunity to process life's difficulties with someone who cares and has the clinical knowledge to assist you with gaining insight and understanding while developing new strategies and coping skills to manage your mental health day by day. I offer primarily CBT therapy with a person-centered trauma-informed focus.

Hello, I’m Dr. Warrick Stewart. I am a Board-Certified Psychotherapist, licensed to practice in Georgia, South Carolina, Kentucky, and North Carolina. At the heart of my work is a deep compassion for people who are navigating life’s hardest seasons. I specialize in helping individuals and couples facing trauma, emotional pain, self-doubt, and the struggles that come with anger, substance use, and depression. My role is to walk alongside you, offering evidence-based approaches such as reality-based and solution-focused therapy, while always tailoring our work to meet your unique needs. In my practice, clients find a warm, nonjudgmental, and supportive environment where they are safe to be themselves. Here, you can speak your truth, confront what has been holding you back, and begin the process of healing. I am eclectic in my methods—drawing from a variety of therapeutic techniques—because I believe every person deserves an approach as unique as their story. I strive to be thorough but kind, authentic yet gentle, and always deeply respectful of the courage it takes to begin therapy. My goal is to help you process your experiences, rediscover your strengths, and move forward toward a life filled with meaning and possibility. Healing takes willingness and effort, but you don’t have to walk the journey alone. Together, we can create a path toward growth, resilience, and lasting change. Let’s get started today.

I bring something to individual and couples therapy that is rare today and not from a text book, that is lived experience. In drawing from different evidence based schools of thought in combination with my lived experiences we will employ such modalities of therapy such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. Adversity and struggle are situations that are common. The goal to avoid both would be ideal but that is not reality. Peace and calmness in the mist of adversity and struggle is a possible reality and what we will strive to help you achieve.

Greetings! I am happy you are here. Life has so many ways to steal our energy: Whether it’s navigating family conflict, grief/loss, life transitions, depression, anxiety, or managing the emotional impacts of trauma. All of these can make you feel like you’re just not yourself anymore. I enjoy helping folks as they navigate transitions and stressful moments of change in their lives. I have over a decade of experience working with clients of all ages and genders. I've done this through my work in schools and outpatient community mental health. My experience is broad reflecting years working with clients from various diverse backgrounds. Having worked with children and families for over a decade, I have professional experience on identifying root causes of child/teen behavior. Given my lived experience, I also bring an invaluable and unique perspective to the veteran/first responder population. I utilize an eclectic approach pulling from a variety of therapeutic tools and believe in a whole body approach in treating the individuals I see.

Hi, I'm Alisia. I am a licensed therapist with over 20 years of experience of helping adults, teenagers, and children move through pain, loss, anxiety, sadness, and trauma toward a place of hope and healing. I have specific focus on supporting women through life transitions, anxiety and emotionally abusive relationships. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally disconnected from themselves and others. Whether you are going through a life transition, navigating a difficult relationship, or still carrying the weight of past trauma, you don't have to walk through it alone. Often, the women that I work with feel drained from always putting others first, struggle with self-doubt and people pleasing. I specialize in helping women break free from patterns of codependency, emotional manipulation, or suffering from narcissistic abuse. Our work together can help you rebuild self-trust, set healthy boundaries, and reconnect with who you are and not just who others need you to be. Therapy can be a space where you reclaim your voice and reconnect with your worth. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma informed. I draw from evidenced based methods like CBT, inner child work, mindfulness and attachment-based therapy. I always tailor therapy to fit your unique story, strengths, and goals. If faith or spirituality is part of your identity, I am happy to incorporate that into our work as well. Healing is possible. You deserve to feel safe, seen, and strong again. Let's talk. I'd be honored to walk with you.

I view my work as a therapist through a multicultural lens, and I customize my approach depending on the unique needs of every individual I work with. Many people have told me they’ve been frustrated by therapists in the past who sat quietly and provided very little feedback. In response, I’ve developed a forthright, solutions-oriented style of engaging with my clients that encourages them to set goals for themselves and empowers them to work toward them. I also have experience working with clients who prefer a softer, less structured approach, so I can customize the therapy experience to each person.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Graduated from North Carolina State University with my Masters in Social Work. I chose to become a LCSW versus another type of counselor because I love connecting people with resources that will assist in their recovery. Psychotherapy is an integral part of mental health treatment however there are many tools available for managing your mental health and I want to assist you not only with therapy but also with material to help you when you leave your therapy session.

I am someone who spent many years in the business world before finding recovery and figuring out counseling is what I'm supposed to be doing. I believe I don't have the answers for you, you do! I believe it's my job to help you get to the answers. I try real hard not to tell people what to do but will share what my experience has been. I use humor when I can as none of us are getting out here alive so we might as well laugh as to cry.

Hi! My name is Erin Tucker and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I’ve worked as a social worker for over 20 years, and I’ve been licensed since 2014. With extensive experience as a medical and hospice social worker, I take an eclectic approach to counseling, including solution-focused, strengths-based and cognitive-behavioral therapies, giving me the ability to tailor a treatment plan specific to your needs. I’m so glad you’ve reached out for support and help, and I hope we’ll be able to meet soon! To that end, I’d like to let you know some things about me and my practice. I, hopefully like you, have a life and family outside of my work. Because of these responsibilities I must cancel/reschedule sessions more often than is usual. It’s inconvenient and I apologize for the necessity. However, for those clients who choose to move forward with me, I fully extend this same flexibility to them. I will never be upset or feel inconvenienced by your need to cancel or reschedule, even at the last minute. On a separate note completely, I don’t typically feel comfortable completing paperwork, such as FMLA, short-term disability, etc. for clients. I look forward to working with you!
