I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that something isn't OK right now. That something might be new, or it might have been around a long time. You might be able to describe it perfectly, or you might just feel off without knowing why. Either way — you're here, and that's the only thing that matters right now.
I start from wherever you are. No assumptions, no judgments, no one-size-fits-all approach. Just a genuine desire to understand you — what's brought you here, what you're carrying, and what you're hoping for.
Therapy with me — whether you're coming alone or with a partner — tends to be honest and occasionally even a little lighthearted. The human experience isn't black and white, and neither is the work we'll do together. What stays consistent is that you'll have a space that belongs to you, where nothing you say or feel changes how I show up for you.
For couples, that space belongs to both of you equally. I don't take sides. What I do is help you see the pattern you're both caught in — because most of the time it's the cycle doing the damage, not each other. When that shifts, something else becomes possible.
No matter what it is you are navigating — depression, relationships, identity, or the gap between how you show up and how you actually feel inside — you don't have to have it figured out to reach out.

I’m a warm, down-to-earth therapist who believes therapy doesn’t have to feel stiff or overly clinical. My style is informal, conversational, and collaborative, creating a space where you can show up as yourself without worrying about saying the “right” thing. I have no expectations for you to present yourself in a certain way, change anything about yourself, or hide anything. Each thing that you share will only help our work together, and guide me to the best understanding of you and your needs, so that we can navigate your challenges as a team, and take all factors into consideration. My goal for my sessions is to create an environment where the people that I meet with understand that they will never be met with judgement, unreasonable expectations, or negativity. Together, we can create a map of what you’re going through, identify and build on your strengths, and find practical ways to grow toward the life you want.

I believe every person has a unique story, and my goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered.

I believe that healing happens through genuine connection, curiosity, and compassion. Together, we will identify your goals, explore barriers that may be preventing you from living the life you want, and develop practical tools to help you move forward with confidence.
Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending time with my cats, taking walks, and being outdoors. These simple moments help me stay grounded and remind me of the importance of balance, mindfulness, and self-care—principles I also encourage my clients to explore in their own lives.
Whether you are beginning therapy for the first time or returning after a break, I recognize that asking for help can feel overwhelming. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you in your journey toward healing, growth, and wellness.
I look forward to working with you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I hold a Master of Social Work degree from Appalachian State University, focused on individuals and family systems. I have lived in North Carolina all my life and resonate greatly with the people who inhabit this beautiful state, wanting to give back to those seeking mental health support.
We all experience grief in our day-to-day lives. We could be feeling grief regarding a chance not taken, a divorce, the loss of a relationship, the loss of a pet, the loss of a loved one, the loss/damage of belongings, the loss of trust in the world, experiencing holidays without someone special, or having to move. We will begin by giving space for the losses and adjustments you have experienced throughout your life, ensuring each version of you can release these emotions and process them in a safe space. I will add helpful interventions, techniques, and educational tools to provide additional support and deeper understanding.

I specialize in working with neurodivergent women, women navigating pregnancy and postpartum, and individuals seeking to heal from past experiences and reconnect with themselves and others.
You may feel overwhelmed by the expectations placed on you, disconnected from who you are, or caught in patterns that no longer serve you. Perhaps you're exploring your neurodivergence, adjusting to motherhood, processing trauma, or beginning to recognize how past experiences have shaped your present. Whatever brings you to therapy, you deserve a space where you feel understood, supported, and accepted as you are.
My approach is compassionate, client-centered, strength-based, and trauma-informed. Drawing from mindfulness, somatic approaches, solution-focused therapy, and Internal Family Systems (IFS)-informed work, I support you in developing self-awareness, strengthening coping skills, and cultivating a more compassionate relationship with yourself.
Together, we can explore the patterns you've carried, honor your unique needs, and build skills that support meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to help you move beyond simply getting through each day and toward a life that feels more grounded, connected, and aligned with who you are.

My name is Amanda Chilleme, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, Georgia, and North Carolina, as well as a Master’s Certified Addiction Professional. For over 11 years, I have supported individuals in identifying what truly matters to them, navigating obstacles, and building a foundation for a more fulfilling future.
My primary specialty is working with men and women struggling with substance use disorders as well as process and behavioral addictions, helping them find a pathway to a life that feels less burdened and more aligned. I also have extensive experience treating anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, grief and bereavement, trauma, attachment concerns, and personality disorders.
As a clinician, I take a human-focused approach. I am not here to tell you what you need to work on—you already know the what. My role is to help you understand the why, and ultimately the how: how to shift it, heal it, overcome it, or, when appropriate, let it go altogether.
Your first session is best described as a two-way interview. As I listen to your story and your narrative begins to take shape, we collaboratively determine two things:
Whether I am the right therapist for you, and
Whether this therapeutic relationship is the right fit for both of us.
If we decide to move forward together, identifying your goals becomes your first assignment. This process allows me to better understand how you think, how you interpret challenges, and how barriers such as stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship dynamics show up for you. From there, we focus on one goal at a time.
I see myself as your coach, teammate, and cheerleader!
Whether you are just beginning therapy or have been on this journey for some time, I invite you to plant that seed—and see just how beautifully you grow.

I’m licensed as an LISW-CP in South Carolina and an LCSW in North Carolina and Virginia and practice predominantly in the evenings via telehealth.

Together, we’ll slow things down, make sense of what anxiety and panic are doing in your body and your life, and build concrete tools to manage spirals, reduce avoidance, and feel more in control day to day—not with fluffy advice, but with step‑by‑step, doable changes.

As an Integrative Psychotherapist, I focus on helping you to achieve balance in Mind, Body, and Spirit. Are you struggling with feeling sad, down, and/or anxious? Have you suffered trauma and/or abuse? Do you feel ashamed and/or guilty? Do you struggle with liking/loving yourself? Do you feel unworthy? Do you compare yourself to others and view yourself as less than and/or behind? Are you finding it difficult to keep up with all the responsibilities and challenges of life? If so, I want you to know that you are not alone, I understand, and I am here for you to create a safe space wherein you can express yourself and be truly seen and heard.
I specialize in toxic shame, Type 2 Diabetes, and autoimmune-related health conditions such as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome & Inflammatory Bowel Disease, and Psoriasis.
I wholeheartedly believe in you and your capacity to work through your struggles and create a life of joy and passion.

I’ve been a licensed therapist for 5 years, but my perspective is also shaped by a lifetime of real-world experience. I’m an Army veteran, a career military spouse, married 31 years, have lived throughout the U.S. and Canada, a mother of four, and one of nine siblings—with four brothers and four sisters. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of the complexities of family life, relationships, transitions, and everyday challenges. I’m able to connect with a wide range of family situations and offer practical, relatable, real-time solutions that work in everyday life.

Hi! I am Kim Allen. I am excited to meet with you! I have been working with individuals of all ages for over 15 years. I have always been passionate about helping others and would love to support you whether you are simply going through some tough times, needs some motivation in making a change in your life or are struggling with some more difficult challenges. I have worked with a variety of populations including victims of trauma; parents, adolescents and children struggling with mental health or other neurodivergent individuals (ADHD, autism, etc). and individuals working to make lifestyle changes such as diet and nutritional changes. I have also worked with couples on improving their communication and relationship skills.
I am particularly passionate about helping others find ways to make changes using natural means including things such as meditation, dietary changes, nutritional supplementation and behavior modification.
Whether you are new to therapy or just seeking someone new to work with, I understand that taking the step to meet with someone new can be overwhelming. You have taken the first step toward making change. I hope you will let me help you take the next step!

Hi Folx, my name is Daja and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 8 years in clinical practice. I began my career providing family therapy to children, adolescents and families in rural NC communities. From there, I transitioned to a large multi-state psychiatric and behavioral health outpatient practice where I served as both a psychotherapist and Regional Director for three years. After transitioning from that role, I worked in clinical care management with a large corporate insurance company, serving members with complex clinical care needs. As a therapist, I’ve focused my work on supporting folks better manage mental health conditions, cultivate greater joy in their lives and improve their relationships. I sincerely enjoy learning folks’ stories and assisting them as they navigate new and old life challenges/transitions.

What happens during the first therapy session?
What happens during the first therapy session?
Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
