EMDR Therapists in North Carolina

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in trauma work, relationships, and family dynamics. I graduated with her B.A. in Psychology with minors in Health Studies, Gender Studies, and Sociology from Monmouth University where I was also a division-1 soccer player. I then went on to earn my M.A. in Marital and Family Therapy from the University of San Diego. I specifically chose this route and school because it provided a bio-psycho-social-spiritual lens to looking at the various mental health challenges that we face. I am also trained in EMDR and utilize it to address trauma and performance concerns. I began my professional work with children, adolescents, and families in community mental health clinics. I found herself drawn mostly to the older adolescents in the transitional age groups and decided to pursue working in the college counseling center environment. I spent time at Coastal Carolina University working to create a relationship between the counseling center and athletics seeing the unique need of student-athletes having been one myself. I have spent the last four years at NC State University working in athletics and have enjoyed every moment of it!

I’m a Licensed Counselor with several years of experience supporting late-teens, young adults, and adults experiencing anxiety, life transitions, interpersonal difficulties, and the lasting impact of past experiences. I work especially well with individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, even when they appear to be functioning well on the outside. Many of the people I work with are looking for greater clarity, confidence, and direction in their lives. My goal is to create a space where you can slow down, make sense of what you're carrying, and better understand yourself without judgment. Together, we'll explore the patterns, experiences, and relationships that have shaped you while working toward meaningful changes that help you feel more grounded, connected, and aligned in your daily life.

I genuinely love what I do and feel grateful for the opportunity to support others as they explore their stories, their strengths, and the direction they want their lives to take. I believe everyone deserves to feel seen, supported, and at peace with who they are and where they are going. If you are feeling unsure or nervous about starting therapy, you don’t have to have it all figured out—I will meet you exactly where you are, and we will walk this journey together with care, compassion, and intention.

I’m a licensed clinical mental health counselor in North Carolina who works with adults navigating a variety of concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions.

Hi, I’m Michelle. If you feel overwhelmed, disorganized, stuck in procrastination, or frustrated that everyday tasks seem harder than they should, you’re not alone, and you’re not lazy or broken. I specialize in helping adults with ADHD, including those who are newly diagnosed, have lived with ADHD for years, or are beginning to wonder whether ADHD may explain some of their struggles. Together, we explore how ADHD may affect the way you think, feel, function, relate to others, and navigate everyday life. My approach is warm, collaborative, practical, and strengths-based. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based therapy, psychoeducation, and executive-functioning support to help reduce shame, increase self-understanding, and build practical tools that fit your life and the way your brain works. When appropriate, I may also incorporate EMDR to address distressing experiences, chronic shame, or negative beliefs that have developed through years of criticism, rejection, or feeling misunderstood. My work is also shaped by personal experience with ADHD, which has provided additional perspective alongside my professional training. This combination allows me to approach clients with both clinical expertise and an appreciation for the nuanced ways ADHD can affect daily life. My goal is to help you feel more confident, capable, and supported in creating a life that works with your brain rather than against it. For clients who would like to incorporate their faith into therapy, I also offer Christian counseling in a supportive and natural way.

Melissa Bradley, LCMHC, LPC, LCASA I am a licensed mental health in both NC and SC.

I have a history of working in addictions counseling as well.

Trauma has haunted you for years. It’s left you with nightmares and flashbacks. It’s caused you to distrust others and push them away. It’s made you feel broken and hopeless. You’ve tried everything you can think of to shed the weight of the past. You’ve read the books, tried the life hacks… You may have even talked to a therapist. But now, you’re out of options. Nothing has helped you transition from being a survivor to someone who’s truly alive. And you’re all talked out. No matter how many times you tell your story, nothing changes. The search for relief is exhausting. This might be your last shot at getting help.

In our work together, your well-being and personal growth are my top priorities. My goal is to provide you with the personalized attention and compassionate support you deserve. Each session is an opportunity for us to collaborate in a way that feels right for you—one that honors your unique experiences, strengths, and needs. I believe in your ability to navigate life’s challenges, and my role is to empower you with the tools, insights, and encouragement you need to move forward with confidence. Whether we’re addressing specific issues or taking time to reflect, I am here to support you in a way that feels safe, validating, and nurturing. Seeking therapy is already a powerful and courageous step, and I’m here to walk alongside you as we work towards your goals, at your pace. Having been on the client's side of therapy myself, I understand the vulnerability and courage it takes to seek help, as well as the healing power of a strong therapeutic relationship. I bring empathy, insight, and a genuine commitment to supporting you through your own journey of growth and transformation.

Hi, I'm Cindy. I'm a trauma-informed therapist and EMDR specialist who believes healing is possible, no matter how stuck you may feel. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, grief, and divorce, providing a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. My approach is warm, genuine, and direct. I don't believe therapy should feel like repeating the same story every week without making progress. Together, we'll identify the patterns that are keeping you stuck, process past experiences that continue to impact your present, and develop practical tools that help you create meaningful, lasting change. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, grieving a loss, struggling in your relationships, or navigating a major life transition, I'll meet you where you are. My goal is to help you gain clarity, build resilience, and move forward with greater confidence, self-awareness, and purpose.

I am a clinically seasoned therapist dedicated to helping people reclaim stability when life feels overwhelming, chaotic, or disconnected. My approach combines genuine empathy with objective feedback to address acute anxiety, trauma, and complex relationship dynamics. I focus on creating a reliable, conversational space where you can sort out your feelings, break unhelpful patterns, and move forward at a pace that works for you.

Change can be scary, but it doesn't have to be. We all face situations throughout life that can make us feel overwhelmed and in need of support, encouragement, strategic planning or goal setting. You are not alone. I provide a safe, warm and friendly environment for growth and healing. You may need support in family life transitions, a parent-child relationship, peers groups, marriage, divorce, social issues, academic challenges or behavioral issues. While we are working together, I take a collaborative approach to help you to achieve your goals and overcome the challenges you're facing in life. I am here to support and empower you on your personal journey. Recognizing when issues in life have become too much to handle alone and seeking assistance is a great first step on your healing journey. It takes a lot of courage to reach out to someone, so I applaud you on taking that first huge step.

Hi there — I’m Madison (Gabriel) Long, LCMHC, NCC, a licensed therapist based in North Carolina and South Carolina, and I’m passionate about helping people move from feeling stuck into genuinely living. My training includes trauma-focused CBT (TF-CBT), child-centered play therapy (CCPT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy (EMDR), and I’m currently pursuing certification in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C).

I offer virtual therapy so you can meet with me from wherever you are in NC, right when it works for you. I do this work because I believe growth happens when we feel safe enough to face what we’ve been avoiding, and strong enough to embrace the next step. Not only have I been where many of you are, I’ve also had the privilege to see clients emerge from seasons of pain, parenting chaos, trauma’s shadow, and come into more grounded, more resilient selves — and it is an honor to be part of that process. If you’re ready to start feeling grounded, nourished, and confident again — I’d be honored to walk beside you.

Hi, I’m Joe. I’ve worked in the mental health field for 27 years across substance use treatment, outpatient care, and hospital settings. I’ve supported individuals and families through crisis, transition, and long-term growth. I work well with young adults, adults, and families who are navigating stress, trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use, or major life changes. I also have extensive experience working with men who may struggle to express emotions directly and instead feel stuck in withdrawal, irritability, or self-doubt. As a veteran, I understand the mindset and pressures that can come with military life. Across all of my work, I aim to provide a grounded, steady presence where honesty, insight, and meaningful change can take place.

I’m Pamela Andrews, LCSW and I help clients who are dealing with trauma, anxiety, and/or OCD so they can feel grounded, confident, and in control of their lives again. My clients are often people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally exhausted, even when things look “fine” on the outside. Using evidence-based approaches like EMDR and ERP, along with a compassionate, faith-informed lens when desired, I help clients break free from old patterns, calm their nervous systems, and build lives rooted in clarity, peace, and purpose.

Hey there! Are you struggling to believe in yourself or feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges? I understand how difficult it can be to navigate stressful seasons, unexpected changes, or painful experiences from the past. There was once a time when I needed someone to believe in me when I could not fully believe in myself, and that experience helps guide the compassion and support I bring into therapy today. Life can become busy, stressful, and emotionally exhausting, but you do not have to face it alone. Whether you are working through life transitions, anxiety, trauma, or trying to heal from past experiences, I strive to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered.

I help high-functioning adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or constantly “on.” On the outside, things may look fine—career, responsibilities, relationships—but internally, you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, burnout, or self-doubt that won’t turn off. My clinical background includes training in fast-paced, high-expectation environments where effective, evidence-based care was essential. I use approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness-based strategies to help you understand patterns, build practical skills, and create meaningful change. I began my clinical work as a Behavioral Health Officer in the U.S. Army, where I worked in high-stress operational settings. While that experience gave me a strong understanding of pressure, burnout, and performance demands, my work today is focused on helping adults in all walks of life navigate similar challenges. My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded—I aim to create a space where you can be yourself while doing real, meaningful work.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with several years of experience providing trauma-informed therapy. My work mainly focuses on helping clients understand and manage the effects of trauma, chronic stress, and overwhelming life events. As a military spouse, I have firsthand insight into how prolonged uncertainty, transitions, and cumulative stress impact individuals, which informs my compassionate and grounded approach to care. I use evidence-based, trauma-focused methods to help clients develop emotional regulation, boost self-awareness, and regain safety and stability. Many clients face anxiety, relationship issues, hypervigilance, emotional numbness, or trauma-related patterns. Therapy is a collaborative process, carefully paced to let clients participate comfortably without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. Earlier in my career, I mainly worked with children and adolescents. Currently, I focus on supporting adults and couples, while still working with teen clients. This experience helps me understand how early experiences, attachment styles, and relationship dynamics can affect current functioning and relationships. I am dedicated to fostering a supportive and respectful therapeutic environment where clients can freely explore their experiences, acquire practical coping skills, and progress toward healing at a pace that feels safe and sustainable.

Hello! I believe that adversities don’t have to define who you are, rather, they can promote the resiliency necessary to develop who you’ll be and the story you’ll share. As a licensed mental health therapist and addiction specialist trained in EMDR with over 5 years of experience, my hope is to join you as you pursue the process of writing your growth and resiliency story. I work alongside my clients to cultivate a tailored approach to treatment through the incorporation of elements from multiple psychotherapy schools of thought and modalities. I will always show up authentically with a balance of compassion and directness to offer. If interested in working together, please do not hesitate to reach out. I would be more than happy to schedule a consultation to collaboratively talk through what brings us together and how I may be able to best support your mental health needs and therapy goals.

My passion is to work with those who have struggled with the challenges of life; trauma, addiction, relationship issues, mood disorders, grief, attachment, career issues or any stress contributing to anxiety. They may have sought therapy in the past and have become discouraged, for whatever reason. The foundation of therapy is the therapeutic alliance. When one suffers various disorders, life becomes dull and motivation to live according to one's values instead of one's fears is threatened. It is critical that the therapist be attuned to the worldview of the client to facilitate healing, self acceptance and self compassion. Pain is inevitable while suffering is optional.

My hope is to provide you with skilled and compassionate therapeutic assistance to overcome mental health challenges. As a therapist and person of faith, I am committed to providing high-quality, person-centered services. In therapy, I prefer to use a combination of Person-Centered, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and motivational enhancement strategies to help people understand what drives them, identify barriers to the change they seek and develop the skills necessary to become the persons they were created to be. Your goals and values provide the context for everything I do. I am committed to providing services free from judgment, stigma, and shame.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in helping adults heal from trauma, chronic stress, and long-standing survival patterns. Many of the people I work with grew up navigating environments where safety, emotional support, or stability were inconsistent, and those experiences can continue to affect relationships, self-worth, and the nervous system well into adulthood. My approach is compassionate, grounded, and practical. I integrate trauma-informed methods such as EMDR, somatic awareness, and nervous system regulation to help clients move beyond survival mode and reconnect with a stronger sense of self. Therapy with me is a collaborative process. Together we work at a pace that feels safe while building the insight, resilience, and self-trust needed for lasting change. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready to understand yourself more deeply, therapy can be a powerful place to begin.

I am dedicated to helping people heal holistically from past traumas, anxiety, depression, anger or relationship challenges. I use a very effective treatment modality called Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help people heal from traumatic memories, negative beliefs about themselves, or past situations in one's life that have caused them emotional pain. Often , I blend EMDR interventions with "parts work"/Internal Family Systems (IFS) interventions, which is useful when a client has parts of themselves that are fearful of trauma work. In addition, I teach people how to manage their thoughts and emotions using mindfulness, mind/body, meditation practices, and cognitive behavioral methods. For those who are interested in healing their mental health naturally through changing their life style habits, I have training in how proper nutrition, sleep and exercise can help improve one's brain health, and therefore improve their mental health.

I am what I would say a non traditional kind of clinician. I will engage with you in a way that works for you, I am not the expert on you and want to walk along side of you and help you in a way that works for you. I will also push and prod at those tough spots so that we can work on finding out what is happening for you and we can work together to make a difference with your needs.

I have learned that therapy is a personal journey, and not every approach fits every person. I bring a positive, professional energy to each session, guiding clients while they remain in the driver’s seat. Together, we navigate challenges and celebrate progress, with support, safety, and care along the way. **No insurance applied or accepted for Couples or Family therapy** ***Self-pay rates apply for Couple and Family therapy*** ****Message me ahead of scheduling or after if you are seeking Family or Couples therapy****

I work with individuals from a variety of backgrounds on issues including depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, grief and loss, career transitions, and other mental health and life concerns. Along with the many benefits of counseling come risks. Since counseling often involves discussing unpleasant or uncomfortable aspects of your life, you may experience feelings such as sadness, guilt, anger, frustration, loneliness, shame, and/or helplessness. Counseling allows you to process your feelings and often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and relief from feelings of distress. There are no guarantees of what you will experience. In order for you to achieve the most benefit from counseling, you will have to be engaged in your therapy sessions, committed, and do work outside of therapy to meet your personal goals.

My goal is to help you feel more steady, self-aware, and able to move through life with greater clarity and confidence.

Having benefited from therapy myself, I believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most powerful tool for healing. My long-term clients appreciate my warm yet direct approach, and I often incorporate humor into our sessions because I believe that "laughter is medicine." I combine evidence based modalities, therapeutic connection, and empathy to be able to connect with my clients to assist them with being able to grow into their greatest potential.
