**ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** Are you ready to break free from the weight of anxiety and depression to show up in your life as your best self? I provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for you to explore your challenges, gain clarity, and take meaningful steps toward the life you desire. Using a combination of trauma informed somatic-based interventions, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment theory, and mindfulness techniques, I guide clients to identify triggers, unpack false stories your mind tells you, create healthy boundaries with a personalized plan with practical techniques to manage anxiety effectively.

You can come back from anything no matter how bad you think the situation is. It is all about your mindset. Reprogramming your mindset is the key to your success. The power of change rest in your desire to want change. I believe that people have the power to change their circumstances within themselves by changing their thought pattern first. Reprogramming your mindset is the key to your success.

As a licensed professional counselor for over a decade, I consider it an honor to create a sacred space with a client in the therapeutic relationship. As clients are able to unravel developmental traumas, process relational difficulties, and dispel long-held cognitive beliefs, true healing emerges within. Over the years, I have found that I am most helpful in the treatment of trauma, building healthy attachments between people, and using a number of well-researched methods for more complex issues related to emotional development. In my free time, I love to visit the shores of Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina with my husband of 31 years and our mini-Australian Shepherd, Brodie . I also enjoy watching our three grown children make their mark on this world!

Hi, I’m Pete Cianci, LCSW, a licensed psychotherapist based in North Carolina. I work with adults who are ready to feel better and make meaningful changes in their lives. I believe therapy should be practical, clear, and focused on real results. I use proven approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy. In simple terms, that means we’ll look at how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors connect—and I’ll teach you skills you can use right away. I strongly believe therapy doesn’t have to feel like a mystery. When you understand how your mind works and learn tools that fit your life, change becomes much more possible. My goal is to help you feel better as efficiently as possible while still feeling supported and understood along the way.

Do you feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you? Whether you're a teen navigating the complexities of growing up or an adult facing life transitions, unresolved trauma can quietly shape how you see yourself, relate to others, and experience the world. Therapy can provide a safe and supportive space to begin untangling the past and reclaiming your present. Everyone deserves to feel seen, supported, and empowered to heal. If you're ready to take that first step, I’m here to walk alongside you.

I am a Licensed Clinical and Mental Health Counselor and work together with the client to peel back the layers of the onion, uncovering client’s suffering and route of healing. Through this journey of exploration clients increase self-awareness and self-love. Growth is part of the journey which requires clients to step outside of comfort, instead engaging in exploration as a path to healing. As a counselor, I journey with the client as expert to increase wellness and authenticity. Suffering is part of the journey, and a path to healing we discover together. Sometimes going through the healing process can be scary, but I am excited to meet you where you are and walk with you to where you want to go.

Imagine life is like a journey you control entirely, but you feel stuck. The choices you make dictate the obstacles you face, and they can be tricky. Life’s journey comes with no instruction pamphlet or ready-made companions. A path unfolds, and you can trust that guidance is available along the way. As you journey, you begin to see things you want, potential companions, places you want to explore, and tools you can use to make travel simpler. There are so many choices to make, with no time to stop and contemplate the best decision; you have to keep going, making choices every day about everything. Decisions and deadlines do not wait, but support is here to help you navigate. The consequences of decisions do not wait for preparation or readiness. Age does not determine how hard life can be, nor does it assess reality. Whether you are age 5 or 95, waking up each day and continuing life’s journey can be challenging. Seeking support can make this journey easier, and I am here to help you through it. I believe life’s tools are within us: self-actualization, self-trust, coping strategies, and the willingness to grow. This can foster hope and reassurance for toddlers, children, adolescents, adults, families, and the LGBTQIAPK community. Online Counseling Services are available upon request.
