Hi, I'm LaShica and I'm very excited that you are reaching out to take time for yourself. Counseling is a great form of personal care. I would like to tell you a little about myself. I currently live in Charlotte, NC but I'm originally from Marion, SC. I am married with 2 kids. I love lifting weights, playing softball, and running. I have over 10 years of experience in counseling adults with mental illness, developmental disabilities and substance abuse problems. I have experience working with young adults in transitional housing providing therapeutic individual and group counseling. I have worked with families providing individual and family counseling in the clinical and home setting. My approach to therapy comes from an eclectic base with a strong focus on cognitive-behavioral and person centered therapy. I believe that a person should be able to make choices about their future and should be given all available resources to make that informed choice. I look forward to working with you in the future.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) licensed in the state of North Carolina and I have a Master's Degree in Clinical/Community Psychology. I have over 23 years of experience working with a wide range of issues and ages. I have worked with clients that struggle with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, substance abuse/dependency, stress management, women's issues and self-esteem, family and relationship issues and individuals with trauma and abuse issues. I have experience working in Inpatient, Intensive Outpatient and Outpatient settings and have utilized individual, family/couples and group therapy. My counseling approach is based on compassion, empathy, respect, support and a genuine desire and goal to help individuals address any area of concern.. I will engage in a beneficial therapeutic relationship that provides opportunity for the individual to identify appropriate coping skills to address life issues and improvement in their overall mental and emotional health. My primary therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but I also utilize other therapeutic approaches including but not limited to Rational-Emotive Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy and Mindfulness. I will focus on treatment planning to address an individual's specific needs and goals. The first step in seeking support is always the most difficult one and at times can feel a little overwhelming. However, I believe the benefits of therapy can be very rewarding and I am excited and privileged to be a part of your journey. I look forward to working with you.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina. I have been counseling for 14 years and have worked with clients with many different life concerns including substance abuse, anxiety, depression, ADD, trauma, relationship issues , family conflicts and life changes just to name a few. I am a firm believer that the client is in the “driver’s seat” when it comes to their therapy. I approach every client with unconditional positive regard and my office/video screen is ALWAYS a judgement free zone. I would almost be willing to bet you a quarter that you can’t shock me. I encourage you to take a leap of faith and get the help you are seeking. Life changes are achievable when individual ideas collide with positive actions. I have a very eclectic counseling style. I have a unique ability to adapt my style/approach to meet the individual needs of each client. I am well versed in cognitive-behavioral, person centered, and reality therapy. I have worked with a very diverse population of clients in the past and ALL are welcome. I believe therapists are only wounded survivors with education and training, who seek to help their fellow man/women to face life's difficulties.

Hello! My name is Jeanne Peel, and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years of experience. I am licensed in Florida, and both North and South Carolina, and have worked with children, teens, and adults in individual, family, couple’s, and group settings. I have worked in community mental health, residential treatment, and private practice doing online therapy, as well as working for an insurance company call center doing mental health assessments to help connect people to therapy. I have helped clients in a wide range of areas including anger management, anxiety, communication issues, depression, grief/loss, low self-esteem, mindfulness, parenting problems, relationship issues, and work/life balance. I have also helped many people who have experienced trauma or various types of abuse. My formal journey to become a therapist started when I was 40, but I think I've been in training my whole life. This isn't just something I DO, it's part of who I AM. I wear lots of hats and am grateful for each of them. I am a veteran myself and have 15 years under my belt as a military spouse, so military folks have an automatic special place in my heart. I have been married and divorced, I have 5 adult kids and 7 grandkids, and I helped my mom care for my dad with Alzheimer's until he died early in October 2021. I am very spiritual and believe we come into each other’s lives for a reason because we all have lessons to learn from one another. I work at staying fit and practicing good self-care by enjoying good nutrition, running, walking, biking, kayaking, yoga, and meditation. My therapeutic approach is eclectic as I pull from different theoretical backgrounds and my own experience to find what is going to be exactly right for you. My style is warm, interactive, and collaborative. I will treat you with respect, sensitivity, and compassion as we work together, and I will do my utmost to “meet you where you are” as I believe you are the expert on living your own life. I believe you already have your own answers deep inside and just need some guidance at times to find them. My approach is person-centered and combines elements of solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, existential, psychodynamic and mindfulness therapies. I feel the two biggest indicators of success in therapy are for the client to be engaged and willing to learn to let go of old self-limiting beliefs and to have a strong rapport in the client-therapist relationship. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. It also takes courage to look closely at oneself and one’s relationships and to own one’s “stuff”. If you are ready to take that step, then I am here to support and empower you on your journey as we work together and learn from each other. I look forward to working with you!

I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina. I have worked as a licensed therapist over the past 9 years providing individual and family therapy as well as couple therapy in various settings including telehealth. I have worked with individuals (adolescents, adults, men & women) with a wide range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, attention deficit, bipolar, anger management problems, marital/relationship issues, parenting problems, sexual problems, and career concerns. These problems often cause major disruptions in our daily life. My approach is often solution focus, client and holistic centered but I also can use other approaches to cater to the person’s needs. I believe that it is very important to look at the whole person (environment, family, medical, financial, etc.) instead of just the presenting problems. I like to take a nonjudgmental, caring, and respectful approach to help the person navigate through their journey and learn how to cope with their daily life stressors by using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-Focus Therapy, and Reality Therapy. I know taken the first step to seeking therapy is big and anxiety invoking but if you take the first step, I will take the rest of the steps with you. I look forward to working with you soon.
