Hi, I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor (LCMHCS) and Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist (LCAS) in the state of North Carolina. I received a master's degree in counseling, along with a graduate certificate in substance abuse counseling, from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 2010.
While in graduate school, I decided to specialize in Motivational Interviewing (MI) when I discovered how well the “spirit of MI” (partnership, acceptance, compassion, and empowerment) fit with my perception of how we change and grow. Since then, I have had the opportunity to participate in several advanced MI training workshops facilitated by some of the originators of this powerful approach to facilitating change.
By incorporating the components mentioned above into our counseling relationship, along with a wide variety of evidence-based approaches as needed, a collaboration is created where we work as a team to identify and build on your strengths, restructure any self-limiting beliefs, increase confidence, and progress towards the accomplishment of your goals.
I started my private practice soon after graduation and have had the privilege of being part of the change process in countless lives over the past 14 years.

Kudos to you for recognizing the need to focus on your overall well-being including your mental health. At the beginning of therapy many individuals often feel overwhelmed with various emotions, especially talking to a stranger about their concerns.
I seek to make my clients feel welcomed and heard by working with them to identify past and present life events and the impact they have on their interactions internally and externally. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to anxiety, depression, and/or self-care. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life.
Counseling sets the stage for self-awareness, healing, grieving, feeling empowered which can lead to change and growth. What you allow will continue, and change is a personal choice. If you’re ready to challenge yourself and create the life you want, I look forward to working with you.

I help Christian women unravel the confusion of emotionally and spiritually abusive marriages-whether you're still unsure, just beginning to question, or already walking away. There's space here for your story, your faith, and your healing.
You don’t need another professional voice telling you how to heal. You need someone who knows—someone who has walked through the fire, crawled through the ashes, and fought to reclaim her own life. That’s why I’m here.
I don’t offer band-aid solutions or quick fixes. I offer truth, courage, and a way forward. I will sit with you in the mess, wade through the lies that have kept you stuck, and help you rebuild what was stolen. If you’re exhausted from carrying the weight of expectations, fear, and silent suffering—I see you. And I’m not afraid to go with you where others have refused to go.
You’re not just getting counseling—you’re getting a lifeline. A mirror to see yourself clearly again. A way out when everything in you says you’re stuck forever. Because you’ve been told you have to stay. That this is your burden to bear. That suffering in silence is somehow holy.
But it’s not.
And I know that agony—the cherished tears that come from realizing everything you fought for is crushing you instead of saving you. The grief of knowing you lost yourself somewhere along the way.
But hear me: You are not too far gone.
This space? It was made for you. A place where the raw, the sacred, the unspoken are all welcome. Where you can breathe again. Where you can break apart and break free.
You don’t have to stay in the darkness. You were meant for so much more.
If you’re ready to dig yourself out, let’s begin.

Lubbock, TX - Accepting clients in NC
Hi, I’m Tia and I approach therapy with the mindset that every client has internal skills that give them the ability to reach personal goals. I am a Licensed Professional counselor (LPC,) and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC), and I have certifications as a Trauma-informed and Greif-informed professional (CCTP, CGP). I utilize an integrative client-centered approach, where the client takes the lead as the expert on their life and patterns of behaviors, and I help guide the client to uncover causes of core belief systems that fuel areas of concern. My role in this process is to support clients with encouragement while also maintaining accountability for positive change.

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.

Cape Coral, FL - Accepting clients in NC
Hi! I am a dually licensed therapist in both Florida and North Carolina.
I began my education later in my adult life, and believed I had arrived late to the game. But I found that life experience paired with my own belief system, allowed me the opportunity to view life's challenges through a unique lens, and because of that I am non-judgmental and empathetic towards people who are struggling with the hurts life has dealt them.
I believe in using a collaborative approach in helping my clients. I use evidence-based practices, including CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, and Motivational Therapy, as well as Christian Counseling. I am supportive, yet direct with empathy, compassion and help you address the barriers in your life that are causing you pain and distress.
