Hi, I’m Shelby , a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over six years of experience supporting teens and adults through life’s most difficult moments. I specialize in working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, and identity exploration, with a special focus on, LGBTQ+ affirming care and support for first responders and military personnel . My approach to therapy is eclectic, person-centered, and proactive. I don’t just listen, I actively engage with you in the process by offering feedback, suggestions, and practical tools to support your growth outside of sessions. That often includes personalized homework or exercises to help you apply what we’re working on in real life. I draw from a wide range of evidence-based methods, including CBT, ACT, mindfulness, trauma-informed care and more, always tailored to your unique needs and goals. Right now I offer only Saturday appointments to make therapy more accessible, and all sessions are held virtually for your convenience and privacy. I became a therapist because I care deeply about being a supportive, steady presence for those who are struggling. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking for a space to be heard and supported, I’m here to walk alongside you on your path to healing and growth.

Helping Thoughtful People Get Unstuck and Move Forward Hi, I'm Donavon. I’m a counselor with over 20 years of clinical experience and nearly 30 years working in helping professions. Over the years, clients have described me as encouraging, supportive, compassionate, and understanding. One of the things I do especially well is helping people understand how the challenges they face today developed over time. That doesn’t mean spending weeks reliving the past. Instead, we focus on identifying patterns that contribute to anxiety, stress, ADHD-related struggles, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck, and then developing practical strategies that help you move forward. My goal is to help people gain insight, develop better coping strategies, and begin making meaningful progress in their lives. If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about the direction of your life, therapy can be a place to slow down, gain clarity, and begin moving forward again.

Sometimes we need to develop a new “plan” but that can be difficult and we need help. The relationship with ourselves, family, friends and our community is a pillar to good health and well being. However things get in the way….like trauma, substance use, addiction, depression, anxiety, loneliness, illness, & fear. I want to support your concerns and help you improve your sense of wellbeing.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, mentally unsteady, or unsure how to move forward — you don’t have to carry that alone. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and graduate of North Carolina State University. I work with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, relationship stress, and questions of direction or purpose. Many of the people I support feel capable and motivated — yet internally worn down, struggling to feel grounded, present, or confident in themselves. My primary focus is helping clients stabilize emotionally and mentally — so you feel more anchored, regulated, and clear. From that place of steadiness, we begin to explore how you can grow into the fullest version of yourself, making the most of your strengths, values, and lived experience rather than trying to become someone you’re not. Therapy with me is not about pushing or fixing — it’s about creating a solid foundation where clarity, confidence, and meaningful change can naturally emerge. For those who find meaning and strength in their Christian faith, I welcome that as part of our work together — though spirituality is never required or assumed. You bring what matters to you, and we build from there.

I am a licensed therapist with over 7 years of experience specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), couples counseling, and Christian counseling. My passion is helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, emotional resilience, and purpose. In my work with individuals, I primarily use CBT to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns that impact their mood and behavior. I believe in a practical, goal-oriented approach that equips clients with tools they can apply in everyday life, whether they're dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, or life transitions. My sessions are collaborative and supportive, creating a space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow. With couples, I focus on improving communication, rebuilding trust, and resolving conflict in ways that foster deeper connection. I draw from evidence-based methods like the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy, tailoring the process to fit each couple’s unique dynamic. For those who desire a faith-based approach, I also offer Christian counseling. I integrate biblical principles, prayer, and spiritual reflection into the therapeutic process when appropriate. This allows for holistic healing that honors both emotional and spiritual needs, offering hope and a stronger sense of purpose. What sets my practice apart is my commitment to creating a warm, judgment-free environment where real change can take place. I see therapy as a partnership—one that honors your story, builds on your strengths, and supports you in becoming the person or couple you’re called to be. Whether you’re facing a specific struggle or simply seeking to grow, I’m here to walk with you through the process. Healing is possible, and you don’t have to go through it alone.

My name is Janet Muta and I am a Licensed Clinician with over 17 years of experience in mental health, behavioral issues and relationships. I treat individuals from diverse backgrounds. My approach is treating the whole person because most of the time our problems are the outcome of more than just one thing and when I get to know you I am able to address different issues that could be contributing to that one specific problem. We all experience some difficulties in our lives sometimes and we all cope differently. What works for one person/couple who are experiencing a similar situation may not work for another and so I personalize your treatment to fit you. Being in therapy is like being on a journey, I make sure you are in the driver’s seat and I become your great working GPS, guiding you to your desired destination. I also hold a degree in finance which sometimes comes handy when helping those who are stressed due to financial needs. Among the treatment modalities I use are: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Positive Parenting, Contingency Management...

Hi, I’m Megan Cole, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed to practice in North Carolina and Virginia, and living in North Carolina. I earned my master’s degree in social work from UNC Chapel Hill in 2008 and became clinically licensed in 2021. My career has been spent in physical and mental healthcare, with a focus on hospice, chronic illness, and caregiver support. I specialize in supporting people facing serious or life-limiting illnesses, as well as those navigating caregiver stress, anxiety, anticipatory grief, and grief after a loss. I also have extensive experience working with individuals and families through adoption, infertility, miscarriage, and pregnancy loss. I know how stressful, lonely, and scary major life changes can be, and want to be a safe, nonjudgemental presence for you to sort out your complex feelings, and discover your capacity for healing and growth, even in the darkest of times.

Great day! My name is Shironda Monique Bryant. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina. I have been providing counseling in some form or fashion since 2005 but have been licensed and practicing in the state of North Carolina since 2012 (I began my career in counseling in New Jersey). I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, anger issues, and ADHD. I have worked in array of environments from prisons to the court systems, schools, hospitals and an army base. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach is existential, which in itself pulls from several other treatment modalities. I am confident that I will be able to tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I look forward to working with you in the near future and being a part of helping you create, see and meet your goals!
