I’m DeNea and I support adult women as they heal from the effects of childhood parentification, abuse, and neglect, sexual trauma, domestic violence and difficult relationships. I help women build healthier connections and achieve the relationships they desire. I use evidenced-based treatment modalities (IFS, EMDR, & ACT) that help to heal root causes, create lasting change and give clients a sense of freedom over their pasts.
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.
Hello there, I'm Liz! I work with clients who are wanting to heal from past trauma experiences and get to the root causes of their struggles. Trauma changes the way you view yourself, others, and the world. It often has lasting impacts that can be manifested in your current struggles with anxiety, depression, true fulfillment in relationships, diminished executive functioning, and difficulty with honoring your needs and boundaries.
My goal is to help you gain insight, build self-awareness, and foster personal growth. Some areas of focus I enjoy addressing with my clients include boundary building, negative core beliefs, strengthening internal validation, self-care, identifying trauma responses, addressing attachment wounds, aligning to your values, improving daily functioning, and developing healthy coping strategies.
I am trained in a variety of therapeutic models and techniques to help my clients including but not limited to Eye Movement and Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Polyvagal Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. For those who desire and request it, I can integrate Christian-based counseling into the therapeutic process. I believe education/knowledge of what you are going through sets the foundation to the therapeutic work you will be doing.
*For those looking, I Do Not Provide Medication Management.
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.
Hi, I'm Ashley! I help women tap into their resilience, restore hope, and transform their lives with authenticity, compassion, and a passion for seeing women thrive. I like to consider myself THE therapist for women. My mission is to help individuals navigate life’s difficulties to become the best possible versions of themselves. Both my clinical and personal experiences have taught me that, though we cannot control everything, we can control our behaviors, perspectives, beliefs, actions, and HEALING. I plan to equip you with the tools needed to promote your overall well-being and facilitate lasting positive change.
I hold EMDR and talk therapy sessions with clients who struggle with trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, and difficulty navigating challenges and transitions. However, I specialize in perinatal mental health, infertility, and EMDR. In addition, I run a support group for women struggling with infertility.
Through additional training and certifications, I have and continue to develop a variety of tools to support you, and I may use different techniques during our work together. Accordingly, my approach is best described as client-centered and strengths-based, drawing also on theories and strategies of cognitive-behavioral therapy.
When I am not practicing as a therapist, I am spending time with my family. We love to stuff our faces with tasty food and find new adventures. I also dabble in wedding photography as a creative outlet. But generally, you will find me advocating for women struggling with infertility and all the experiences it brings. I can't wait to work with you!

Hi, I’m Jenny! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. I’ve had the privilege of working with people of all ages, but I especially enjoy helping adults navigate the ups and downs of life. My background includes working in community agencies, private practice, and with military families, which has given me a wide range of experience with challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, and self-esteem struggles.
As a military spouse myself, I understand firsthand how stressful transitions, deployments, and constant changes can feel. I bring that personal perspective into my work, along with specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT).
