Hello there, I'm Heather. Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, or difficulty adjusting to life transitions? Are you noticing that things are overwhelming and more difficult to cope with because of the many stressors in life? Do you feel that you worry too much, are not good enough, or feel like you're stuck? Do you feel like you are all alone, that you have no one who really listens, understands you, or can relate to what you are going through? Well look no further because I specialize in alleviating anxiety, managing and overcoming depression, and adjusting to life transitions (such as parenting, relationship challenges, experiencing an empty nest, health issues, job loss, divorce, death of a loved one, or retirement.) It's a common experience to face these life challenges, but when those issues start to take over your life, it's time to get the support you need by working through this with a counselor so you can live a more fulfilling life. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Carolina, licensed to see clients in North Carolina working virtually, and I'm also licensed in California. I received my Masters from San Diego State University and have been practicing clinical social work for 21 years. I enjoy working with individual adults who are struggling navigating the stressors in life, and we would work together to get you unstuck as soon as possible so you can live a better life, on your own terms. You are brave and have made an important step in the change process just by being here.

I bring something to individual and couples therapy that is rare today and not from a text book, that is lived experience. In drawing from different evidence based schools of thought in combination with my lived experiences we will employ such modalities of therapy such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. Adversity and struggle are situations that are common. The goal to avoid both would be ideal but that is not reality. Peace and calmness in the mist of adversity and struggle is a possible reality and what we will strive to help you achieve.

Are you facing emotional exhaustion? Whether you’re navigating a short-term challenge or seeking to dive deep into longstanding patterns, I offer a gentle, fast, and holistic approach to healing. My work addresses heartbreak, confusion, inner child work, grief, trauma, toxic family dynamics, breakups, relationship issues, narcissistic abuse recovery, major life transitions, car accidents, illness-related challenges, or just needing someone to help work through issues. Many of my clients come to me after trying traditional talk therapy that felt too surface-level or slow. They’re seeking something deeper—something that truly connects the mind, body, spirit, and emotions. My integrative approach combines evidence-based practices (CBT, solution-focused strategies) with holistic methods like writing, breathwork, customized meditation, and somatic processing. It’s holistic, real, and focused on genuine, upfront conversations to create meaningful change. My style is honest and direct—I work best with clients who are motivated, open to feedback, and ready to actively engage through writing, homework, and weekly sessions.

Hello, I am a licensed professional therapist in North Carolina. My experience has centered on working with diverse populations, from military-affiliated, college, and community behavioral health and private practice. Working within these settings has allowed my involvement with various ages, genders, cultures, and life experiences. My theoretical orientation is Constructivism; therefore, I need to understand my client's life perspectives and how that has influenced their worldview. In working with clients, I also practice an integrated approach using constructivism, person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, solution-focused therapies, and others. Person-centered focuses on the client and allows the client to process feelings and thoughts in a non-judgmental environment with unconditional positive regard. Cognitive-behavioral therapy focuses on the role of thinking in the process of influencing a person's feelings of well-being and how controlling thoughts can affect mental health. This approach maintains the link between emotions and behaviors in the cognitive process. The humanistic therapeutic method emphasizes the counseling relationship and the importance of quality, genuineness, positive regard, and empathy in the counseling relationship. Solution-focused therapy utilizes skills already present to help navigate current concerns, focusing on being present and checking facts on emotions and feelings that might direct reactive responses to stressors. Constructivism proves the space for cultural humility and openness to worldviews I might not have had the privilege to interact with previously.

Hello and welcome! I am Ashley Butt, LCSW, a licensed clinical social worker with many years of experience specializing in mental health assessment and treatment. Recognizing the profound bond between humans and animals, I have developed a unique expertise in assessing patients' needs for ESAs. My holistic approach draws from Attachment Theory and Ecological Systems Theory, emphasizing the importance of supportive relationships in fostering emotional healing. When indicated, I support the integration of Emotional Support Animals (ESAs) into therapeutic practice. Whether addressing anxiety, depression, or trauma, I am dedicated to supporting my clients in achieving a deeper understanding of themselves. When requested I will complete an assessment and explore the unique benefits that an ESA can bring to a persons' mental health journey. I am able to provide the necessary documentation for an individual in need of an ESA.

Greetings and thank you for viewing my page! I am so proud of you for taking this brave step toward self-care and I hope you are equally proud of yourself:) As a counselor, my passion lies in supporting individuals to reach their fullest potential. Life often presents challenges beyond our control, and early experiences can shape our adulthood. My primary goal is to guide clients beyond their pain, empowering them to embrace change. It’s essential to recognize that transformation requires ongoing effort it’s not an overnight process. Rather, it unfolds second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour, and day by day. I am committed to walking alongside them on this journey toward greater well-being.
