I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy doesn’t have to feel like sitting in a stiff chair while someone silently nods at you. I bring both professionalism and a sense of humor into the room, because sometimes laughter really is the best coping skill .I’ve worked with teens, college students, and adults for the last 7 years. Some common concerns I have helped navigate are stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships, and the big messy in-betweens that don’t necessarily always fit neatly into a diagnosis.

Hello! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor/Candidate (LPC-S/C) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) in the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, and Florida. I have roughly 11 years of experience treating anxiety and depression in adults. I love working with adults who have survived past trauma as I provide clients with skills to help regulate the nervous system before we even process past trauma.

Hi, I’m a therapist who works with teens, young adults, and even connect well with adults who are feeling anxious, stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves. My clients are often deep thinkers and feelers who care a lot but sometimes struggle to show care toward themselves. Many are navigating transitions, healing from the past, or trying to figure out who they really are. In therapy with me, you can expect a warm, down-to-earth space where you don’t have to pretend or have it all together. I bring humor, compassion, and curiosity to our work together and a deep respect for your lived experience. Whether you're untangling old patterns, building healthier relationships, or learning to trust yourself again, I’m here to help you reconnect with your strength and your story. Therapy isn’t about fixing you, it’s about helping you feel more like you. And I’d be honored to be part of that process.

Hi, I’m Gina Aiello, a Licensed Professional Counselor in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina, and a National Certified Counselor. I work with adults and young adults who are learning how to navigate life with ADHD and all the challenges and strengths that come with it. If you’ve ever felt like your brain just works differently - jumping from one thought to another, forgetting things that matter, or getting stuck in cycles of overwhelm and guilt, you’re not alone! I get how frustrating it can be to know you’re capable, but still struggle to stay focused or follow through. In our sessions, my goal is to help you feel safe, heard, and understood. There’s no judgment here, just curiosity, compassion, and a lot of real talk. We’ll figure out what’s actually getting in your way and build strategies that make sense for you (not some one-size-fits-all plan from a book). I believe therapy should feel like a space where you can exhale. Where you don’t have to perform or pretend you’ve got it all together. You just get to show up as you are, and we’ll take it from there. If you’re ready to start feeling more grounded, confident, and in control of your own rhythm, I’d love to work with you ◡̈

Do you have past experiences or traumas that may be hindering your ability to practice self-compassion? Feelings are sometimes hard to explain and even harder to deal with. Understanding why you feel a certain way can help you regain control over yourself and how you respond.

Are you struggling with: -fear, worry, or self-doubt? -sadness and a lack of contentment? -grief and loss? -major life changes or transitions? Often our emotions negatively impact our daily life and our relationships. It is possible to feel better and take back control of your emotions. I would be honored to help you get there. I believe therapy is most helpful when it is driven by your specific needs and preferences. I will listen carefully to understand your goals and will partner with you in working toward them. Taking the first step to begin therapy can feel overwhelming, but I will offer you a safe and nonjudgmental space to begin your process of growth and healing. I believe it is essential to have a good client-therapist fit. Let's meet and see if working together could benefit you.

Feeling stressed, anxious, confused, bored, lonely, sad or down? Struggling with an addiction or past/current traumas? Over the years I have helped many people work through these issues to empower them to improve and enjoy a better quality of life. I know firsthand how it may feel vulnerable and unsettling to reach out and ask for help with therapy. However, I firmly believe we all deserve the opportunity to improve ourselves. I am a LCSW and LCAS, graduated with a MSW in 2005 from UNC-Charlotte. I am a skilled and accomplished Behavior Health Therapist with integrity, empathy and compassion specializing in the treatment of co-occurring Mental Health and Substance Use Disorders to empower clients and their families to improve their quality of life.

Hi, my name is Luz, my pronouns are she/her/hers, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC). I worked as a teacher for over 15 years before making the journey into a community mental health career. I have experience in mobile crisis response, trauma, forensic mental health concerns. To explain who I am as a therapist, I reflect back to my role as an educator. In the classroom, there was a movement for the teacher to be less of a “sage on the stage” (teacher-centered approach) and more of a “guide on the side” (student-centered). To me, therapy is a lesson plan for a learning experience. It's a guide to develop what the client needs to learn in order to cope with whatever barriers are showing up in the client's life, whether that barrier is an internal issue, such as self-image, or how to cope with work stress. My therapeutic perspective is to provide empathetic, non-judgmental, compassionate guidance and support in an atmosphere of respect and safety while allowing clients to be the experts of their lives, much like “a co-pilot, a sous chef, or an assistant manager” of a client-therapist relationship. I use solution-focused elements to help move toward desired goals, cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts, and motivational interviewing to help gain understanding and clarity. Outside of traditional therapy, I enjoy the practices of mindfulness, guided meditation, aromatherapy, and Reiki. Finding a therapist that's the right fit can be a challenging task, but taking that first step towards a healthier you is worth it. I look forward to working with you to help break down those barriers and make progress in areas that most matter to you.

Warm Greeting, My name is Kylie — I’m a therapist, a mother, and someone who deeply believes in the power of being seen, heard, and supported. Life doesn’t come with an instruction manual, especially when it comes to healing from trauma, navigating through life transitions, or adjusting to life after bringing a tiny human (or humans!) into the world. Whether you're feeling like you’ve lost yourself somewhere between diaper changes and school drop-offs, or you're carrying the heavy weight of past pain that refuses to stay in the past, I’m here for you. My practice is built on compassion, connection, and just the right amount of humor (because sometimes if you don't laugh, you'll cry — and sometimes we’ll do both). I specialize in working with: Trauma – The kind that’s loud and the kind that’s quiet, but still lingers. Postpartum – Depression, anxiety, identity shifts, rage, exhaustion… sound familiar? Parenthood – From fertility struggles to toddler tantrums to “why did no one warn me?” moments. You’re not broken. You’re human. And humans are messy, beautiful, resilient beings. I work from a trauma-informed, attachment-based perspective to help you reconnect with yourself, feel more grounded in your daily life, and find your way back to joy (or at least a full night's sleep — we can dream, right?). Therapy with me is a judgment-free zone. You can come exactly as you are — in yoga pants, with spit-up on your shirt, or holding back tears (or curse words). This is your space to exhale. Let’s talk. You don’t have to do this alone anymore.

I’m Toni Kittrell, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, and before anything else, I show up as a real person. I believe therapy should feel like a safe space where you don’t have to wear a mask or feel judged, a space where you’re truly seen and heard. My approach is honest, warm, and straightforward. I don’t believe in letting labels define you. Instead, I focus on listening, reflecting, and walking with you through the ups and downs of life. Whether you’re dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or major life changes, my goal is to help you sort through what feels heavy so you can move toward clarity, healing, and peace.
