I work with adults who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, ADHD, or depression and want practical tools to regain stability and direction in their lives.  Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns that are difficult to break—racing thoughts, difficulty focusing, emotional overwhelm, or relationship stress. Therapy provides a space to slow down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and begin developing healthier ways of responding.  I am a North Carolina–based therapist with experience helping individuals navigate depression, anxiety, ADHD, and emotional regulation difficulties.  I also work with individuals with ADHD who struggle with focus, organization, motivation, and emotional regulation. Many people with ADHD are intelligent and capable but feel frustrated by procrastination, burnout, or difficulty managing daily demands. Together we work on strategies that support how your brain naturally functions rather than fighting against it.  My approach is collaborative and grounded in building a strong therapeutic relationship. I integrate cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, and humanistic approaches while focusing on practical skills, insight, and long-term growth.  Therapy is not about fixing you. It is about helping you understand yourself more clearly and developing tools that allow you to move through life with greater confidence, balance, and resilience.

"Osiyo" (Hello in Cherokee)! My name is Tishina Carroll. I have been involved in the behavioral health field for over 15 years. A common question I get asked is “Why did you choose to become a therapist”? The answer is easy: I profoundly enjoy helping others to find ways to manage life’s challenges, while also supporting them in developing into the best versions of themselves. 
I too have struggled with mental health challenges, and I understand the stigma that comes with admitting that you need help. I want my clients to understand that they are not alone in their struggles. I am a licensed clinical social worker, a licensed clinical addictions specialist and a certified clinical supervisor. My areas of expertise include Anxiety Disorders, Bipolar Disorders, Depression, PTSD/ Trauma, Women’s Health, Grief/ Loss and Addiction. I am skilled in Dialectal Behavioral Therapy, Emotional Freedom Technique, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. I am an enrolled member of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and am familiar with traditional Native American Practices as well.
I understand that meeting a therapist for the first time can be intimidating, scary and maybe even embarrassing. I completely understand! The first few sessions, I like to build rapport. I want to get to know you as a person while also giving you the same space to get to know me as a therapist. Building rapport can help develop that crucial sense of trust.


Tishina Carroll

I am a down-to-earth and attentive professional dedicated to helping my clients overcome life’s obstacles. My approach creates a relaxed, conversational environment where clients feel at ease to explore their thoughts, emotions, and challenges. By working collaboratively, I empower individuals to uncover insights and solutions that align with their goals.

I believe in meeting my clients where they are, fostering a supportive and non-judgmental space where we can navigate difficulties together. Whether you’re facing personal, relational, or emotional challenges, my goal is to walk alongside you, helping you gain clarity, build resilience, and move forward with confidence and purpose.

Welcome! I am Quarda- Licensed Clinical Social Worker, professional listener, and occasional over-user of sticky notes. I help people untangle the messy parts of life, whether it's anxiety, relationship hiccups, burnout, or just that nagging feeling that something's "off". My style is supportive, down- to-earth, and sprinkled with humor-- because sometimes laughter really is the best medicine (right after actual therapy of course).

 I use evidence -based techniques and empathy to assist you in making sense of your story and editing it as you may, build resilience, and move forward with purpose. Therapy doesn't have to be stiff or scary-- and if you're ready to do the work (and maybe laugh a little along the way), I'm here for it.

Welcome — I’m John Dyson, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC), based in the foothills of North Carolina.

I want you to take a moment to acknowledge that you’ve already taken the first step toward bettering your mental health. Let’s be honest — starting therapy can feel empowering, confusing, or even scary — sometimes all at once.

My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you can explore concerns related to anxiety, depression, and self-care. I focus on helping clients build assertive communication skills and healthy boundaries, both with themselves and with others, in ways that support a more balanced, fulfilling life.

Therapy is an opportunity for personal growth in whatever way you're seeking — whether that means navigating specific challenges or building the life you deeply deserve. If that’s what you’re looking for, I’m here when you’re ready.

Together, we’ll clarify the challenges you’re facing and identify where you want to be — a month, six months, or a year from now. Then, we’ll explore actionable strategies to help you move forward. You'll leave each session with a clearer understanding of your situation and a set of “next steps” you can begin right away.

There will always be space for feedback and collaboration in our work — including holding each other accountable as we walk this path together.

John Dyson

I’m a licensed therapist. I work collaboratively with clients to help them identify patterns, develop coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change. My approach is practical, goal-oriented, and rooted in empathy designed to support you wherever you are in your journey. I draw from evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to provide structure and direction, while honoring your pace and experiences. Whether you're facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or major life transitions, I offer a space that is both supportive and focused on helping you build the skills you need to move forward with clarity and confidence.

Jaz Bethea

Do you feel isolated, alone, and misunderstood as a woman struggling with alcohol, anxiety, or self-worth? 
Do you find yourself stuck in the same patterns—overdrinking, people-pleasing, or self-sabotaging—even when you want change? 
Is it hard to slow down, be present, or sit with your thoughts—without reaching for distraction or alcohol? 
Do you feel as if you are always in “go mode,” even when you’re exhausted?
Are you focused on others’ needs instead of your own? 
Are you hesitant to talk to others about your problems?

I believe that meaningful change begins with understanding and self-compassion. You already carry the capacity for growth and healing, but sometimes we need support to recognize it. Therapy offers a fresh perspective to help you break free from old patterns, develop new skills, and respond more intentionally to life’s challenges.

My goal is to create a warm, nonjudgmental environment where curiosity replaces self-criticism, and where your strengths, resilience, and well-being are at the center of the work we do together.

Now that it seems we are beginning to return to some sense of normalcy, there's finally time to focus on personal growth and healing.

Laurie Nicholson

Hi, I'm Amy.  Thank you for taking the first step to create change and work toward your goals. Do you feel out of balance and overwhelmed?  I am passionate about supporting people to find balance and improve overall well-being.  I believe well-being is not only about mental health but extends to physical, spiritual, and financial health since all life areas are weaved together. I believe every person has the ability and power to live their best life.   To quote Rumi “The wound is the place where the light enters you” has been a guiding quote to find new abilities and opportunities.  Self-improvement requires "doing the work" and reaching out for counseling is the first step in "doing the work". 

I have 20 years of experience working in community mental health, private practice and facilitating groups and 14 years licensed as a clinician. I earned a BS from North Carolina State University and an MA in Agency Counseling from North Carolina Central University. My career has focused on supporting people with substance use disorder and process addictions (gambling disorder), supporting active duty military and their families and working with people who have chronic pain and illness. 

When not working as a counselor, I take care of my energetic toddler.  We enjoy swimming, reading, cooking and crafts.

I specialize in counseling individuals struggling with addiction, problem gambling, and co-occurring mental health challenges. My approach is person-centered, strength-based, and empathic, empowering clients to uncover their own capabilities and create healthy, fulfilling lives. I believe that with the right support and tools, anyone can move beyond survival and into meaningful, lasting change.

Rose Gallagher

You are stressed and filled with anxiety. Your thoughts are negative and you lack self-confidence. You feel so overwhelmed by emotions that you no longer know what you feel.  Or maybe you are emotionally shutdown and just feel numb.  Past traumatic events cause you to react to life in unhealthy ways.  Intrusive thoughts keep distracting you from what you need to do each day.  And you don’t understand why or how to change it.
If any of this sounds familiar, there is hope! It is possible to retrain your brain and to develop different ways of thinking about life. You can stop automatically reacting and learn to thoughtfully respond to stressors.  I would love to work with you and help you better manage thoughts and stressful emotions.

I took a break from work and obtained a MA in Counseling. After receiving my LPC license, I worked in various settings within the counseling field. I have worked in Child Protective Services, worked for a couple of mental health clinics, held a private practice, worked in crisis intervention for 10 years in a hospital setting, returned to the clinic setting, and have once again opened a private practice.

Hi. 
I am a LPC in Georgia and a LCMHC in North Carolina. Additionally, I am a Nationally Certified Rehabilitation Counselor. I received my master's degree from VCU in 2015, became licensed in 2020, and have been practicing on my own ever since.  I live by two mottos "It takes a village" and "take time for you". It is important to “take time for yourself,” because we need time to recharge, so that we can continue to persevere. However, there comes a time in everyone’s life where the support of the village is needed. That’s why I believe it "takes a village” and working together as a team is important. Whether it is a clinician and client duo, or a team of medical professionals, we can achieve reasonable and practical goals.

Would you like to create space for work/ life balance? Would it be helpful to learn more about the connection between your behaviors, feelings, and thoughts? Are you ready to talk about coping strategies- both those that work and learn new ones? 

I work collaboratively with individuals and families to manage stressors, feelings of stress and anxiety, and cope with addictions.  I help clients develop coping strategies that may challenge past thoughts and behaviors but lead toward the accomplishment of goals.  Sometimes, it is simply reminding ourselves of what worked before and getting back on track and other times, it is about learning something never practiced before.

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.

Odiri Omobien

My name is Angela Wilburn, I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist.  I have been a clinician for approximately 10 years; I chose this profession so I can help people navigate their way through those difficult periods in their life when they believe no one sees them or no one cares.  I want my clients to know they have a voice


Angela Wilburn

Having been through a lot in my teenage years into adulthood, where I learned self-confidence, I have found that if I had someone to help me work through issues of stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and many other life factors I would have been successful sooner.  
I have experience in diverse cultures where I have found I learn just as much from the people around me as they learn from me.  Having an open mind and listening to my clients helps me to relate and understand them and develop a treatment plan or plan of action with them that makes them feel comfortable.
I have an extensive history helping individuals understand their career path, educational needs, and learning life skills.  I have a passion for mental health because of the family history with depression, schizophrenia, anxiety, and substance abuse, and it drives me to want to help others.
I believe it is important to empower individuals, couples, and families towards a sense of normalcy and autonomy, and developing skills to meet the goals they have for their lives.  Taking a holistic approach to counseling I take into consideration the whole person and stive to build a good working relationship with each client to better understand them, helping them feel at ease at a time that may feel stressful and awkward, and helping them navigate life's challenges. 
In my free time I like to go to the beach, take a walk in nature, and enjoy spending time with my children and 2 dogs.  I also enjoy learning, reading, and going to amusement parks when time allows.

Lance Oldham

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. 

Jenny Finlan

 I have several years of experience treating individuals, families, and adolescents using a holistic, empathic, and trauma-informed approach.  Watching friends and family struggle with mental health and substance abuse issues fueled my passion for helping those who struggle with these difficulties from a place of understanding, patience, and empathy. I received a BA in psychology first, which led to obtaining a substance abuse certificate. I gained experience working with families and individuals and, after some time, I was ready to further my education and obtained a Master of Social Work. This helped me expand my clinical skills and learn more targeted therapy modalities, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, DBT, psychoanalytical care, and art therapy. I found these approaches are a great synthesis of neuroscience, trauma, and creativity.

​    Do you struggle with feeling bad about yourself, developing and /or maintaining healthy relationships with others?  Do you feel down, depressed, feeling you let yourself or others down?  Do you experience feelings of anxiety, stress, or trauma? Are these concerns  impacting  you at home, work, or other places? 

    Seeking  therapy can be scary, however, you have made the right decision.  I  believe individuals are the "experts on  themselves" and possess the ability to make the desired  positive  change in their lives.

     In the session, we will utilize a  Person Center Approach consisting of  meeting the individual  were they are, actively listening,  providing support, encouragement, and validation,  as well as utilizing Evidence -Based  Treatment  Modalities ( such Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness,  Person Centered Approach, and Psychoeducation) Supportive  Therapy,  Stress Management,   and Anger Management.
    
    Together, we will work collaboratively to  treat the whole  person and  empower  the  person to  find  their  way forward.

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.

My name is Ashley and I have been a therapist for 11 years now. I enjoy traveling and spending time with my pets. Therapy has a lot to do with the bond between the therapist and the client. Change really can happen if the relationship is there. Most treatment methods can be fairly applicable if you develop that relationship. If you have found that to be a struggle in the past you may of had a bad connection with your therapist.

Hello, I am a Licensed Practicing Counselor that works with children and adolescents. I have been proving therapy and guidance to children and adolescents that need additional support. I work with those in need of clearer vision from depression, anxiety, academics and behavior. 

My professional career in mental health started in the U.S. Navy. I have since worked with private institutions helping those in need of additional supports to overcome obstacles that cloud the path to being their most successful self.
