I’m a therapist who believes meaningful change comes from a combination of insight, accountability, and consistent action. My work is shaped not only by clinical training, but by a grounded understanding of adversity, resilience, and what it takes to rebuild and move forward.

Hi, I’m Michelle. If you feel overwhelmed, disorganized, stuck in procrastination, or frustrated that everyday tasks seem harder than they should, you’re not alone, and you’re not lazy or broken. I specialize in helping adults with ADHD, including those who are newly diagnosed, have lived with ADHD for years, or are beginning to wonder whether ADHD may explain some of their struggles. Together, we explore how ADHD may affect the way you think, feel, function, relate to others, and navigate everyday life. My approach is warm, collaborative, practical, and strengths-based. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based therapy, psychoeducation, and executive-functioning support to help reduce shame, increase self-understanding, and build practical tools that fit your life and the way your brain works. When appropriate, I may also incorporate EMDR to address distressing experiences, chronic shame, or negative beliefs that have developed through years of criticism, rejection, or feeling misunderstood. My work is also shaped by personal experience with ADHD, which has provided additional perspective alongside my professional training. This combination allows me to approach clients with both clinical expertise and an appreciation for the nuanced ways ADHD can affect daily life. My goal is to help you feel more confident, capable, and supported in creating a life that works with your brain rather than against it. For clients who would like to incorporate their faith into therapy, I also offer Christian counseling in a supportive and natural way.

My name is Miguel Lopez, a Hispanic male (He/Him/His) and U.S. Army combat veteran who brings a unique perspective to my work as a therapist. Fluent in Spanish and passionate about guiding people through life’s challenges, I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Walden University, a Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice from Colorado Technical University, and an Associate’s in Criminal Justice from Pikes Peak State College. With over a decade of experience as a caseworker, substance abuse counselor, and therapist, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse clients facing real-life struggles and in need of daily support. Life can be tough, and we all face difficult moments—whether it’s a breakup, divorce, grief, the loss of a loved one or pet, or even a job loss. In these times, having an unbiased person to offer support can make a world of difference. I see trauma as an unexpected part of life that is often hard to process, but with the right help, it can be managed and overcome healthily. I’ve personally experienced more than my share of trauma, grief, loss, sadness, depression, and substance use, and I sought help to work through them. My approach to therapy is centered on helping people in the best way possible, always with an open mind. I often use Maslow’s hierarchy of needs as a guide, because I believe mental health is hard to prioritize when physical needs aren’t met, or issues like homelessness or substance abuse are present. I enjoy working with clients from age 5 to older adults who face Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, PTSD, Mood Disorders, Personality Disorders, and other mental health or substance use challenges. It’s easy to fight battles alone and suffer in silence, but you don’t have to anymore—together, we can work toward healing and a better future.

My ideal client is someone who recognizes that life presents with many challenges and understands that receiving help is not a sign of weakness, rather it is strength. Those life challenges maybe due to stress, health issues, family conflicts, or something more, but they are looking to identify, process, and gain needed support and skills to conquer those challenges. They are looking for someone who will encourage them, keep them accountable, and be open and honest with them. I feel that therapy is more than an occupation for me, rather it is a calling. I will be a listening ear, support, encourager, and support for my clients. I believe that encouraging is a gift which I possess and freely give, and when my clients are going through some of their toughest battles, understanding that they are not alone really matters. There are many different providers who are looking to support and help clients, which is good, because finding the right provider absolutely makes a difference. I want to be a support, sounding board, and ally to work through crisis, challenges, and even give a different perspective. Life is hard, but finding the right provider should not be.

Hi, I’m Jenn Fuqua, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) providing virtual therapy for individuals and couples across North Carolina, Georgia and South Carolina. I specialize in supporting clients living with chronic illness, Lyme disease, trauma, and complex medical-related stress. I understand how chronic health conditions can impact emotional well-being, identity, relationships, and daily functioning, and I help clients navigate the psychological and emotional challenges that often accompany ongoing medical conditions. As a neurodivergent-friendly therapist, I am committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and affirming counseling space where you can be your authentic self. My goal is to help you build emotional resilience, strengthen coping skills, and rediscover balance and confidence in everyday life.

I have over 10 years of counseling experience providing individual therapy to adults ages 18 and up in an acute inpatient and outpatient setting. My approach is person-centered as I want to make this therapeutic experience as personable as possible. I also want to know you as an individual and understand the hobbies and activities that make up your day-to-day. This helps me know you more and create measurable and achievable goals.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who sees individuals, couples, and families. I also see children, teens, adults, and the elderly.

I want to see you succeed, and however I can help with that, I am willing to do.

Are you having difficulty finding your place in a world that feels increasingly alienating? Do you find yourself feeling unseen or misunderstood by the people around you? Do you have difficulty maintaining friendships or often feel hurt or used in romantic relationships? Have you ever felt like you're trying so hard to have the life you thought you'd be living by now, but it seems like you can never quite get it right? Hi, I’m Nikki! I’m a neurodivergent-affirming therapist licensed in South Carolina and Florida. I specialize in supporting individuals who feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck—especially those navigating ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, and identity exploration. My goal is to help you better understand yourself—how your mind works, how your emotions show up, and how your past experiences shape your present—so you can move through life in a way that actually fits you, not just what’s expected of you. The term "neurodivergent" is an annoying buzzword to some, but for me and many of my clients, it is both our superpower and one of our biggest challenges in life. In my therapeutic practice, I take into account how neurodiversity (and its intersectionality with race, culture, age, gender, sexuality, spirituality, and other systems) impacts my clients lives and help them navigate accordingly.

I provide goal-directed, collaborative therapy focused on embracing change as both constant and certain. I am trained and skilled in Solution-Focused Therapy, a goal-oriented and collaborative approach that helps individuals identify and build on their strengths to create positive changes in their lives. This method emphasizes finding practical solutions and fostering resilience, empowering individuals to navigate challenges effectively. I believe that individuals are the experts of their own experiences and possess the inner strengths and resources to overcome barriers to wellness and happiness. While I guide and support individuals in building skills to manage challenges, set realistic goals, and boost personal resilience, the responsibility for meaningful change rests with you. Taking the first step to find a therapist is a remarkable act of courage and an important investment in your well-being. I work with individuals from diverse backgrounds via telehealth, focusing on concerns such as anxiety, chronic stress, fear, shame, perfectionism, and self-critical patterns. I typically check messages after 6:00 p.m. (EST) weekdays and will respond as promptly as I can. Feel free to review my calendar for available sessions. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey.

My approach is client-centered and trauma-informed, tailored to meet the unique needs of each person I work with. Whether you're navigating past trauma, struggling with addiction, or working to strengthen your relationships, I provide a safe and supportive space to move toward lasting change.

Hi, I am Dr. Shawanna Burton, a licensed professional counselor who works with individuals, couples, and families, as well as small groups.

I am passionate about supporting individuals who are ready to take steps towards finding their inner peace and living the life they desire. I highlight person-centered and brief-solution-focused therapies in my counseling approach, but will also utilize a few cognitive-behavioral and motivational interviewing techniques to aid clients in achieving their therapeutic goals.
