Therapists in North Carolina

Hello, my name is Jenny and I am a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina providing therapy through Better Help. I'm so glad you have decided to explore therapy. I completed a BA in Psychology from NCCU and earned my Master of Social Work at NC State. For many years, I have partnered with countless individuals in my work at local hospitals and various outpatient settings to help them process their feelings and move forward with a healthier mindset. My overall message has always been, ' Go where you're celebrated, not where you're tolerated!' I believe in actively listening to understand the stressors, thoughts, feelings, and values of my clients so I can reflect their resilient strength and increase their awareness. No matter who we are, when we're confronted with problems it's helpful to have reflection from someone who is compassionate, has personal and professional experience, is educated and unbiased. But ultimately, I believe we're healthiest when we can become confident in knowing ourselves best with or without affirmation from others. I employ a variety of strategies to help you re-frame the challenges of your life and navigate the trauma and loss. I am adept at solution-focused brief therapy. My foundation is built on cognitive and dialectical behavior therapy approaches. In essence, if you change the way you think, you can change the way you behave. I am grateful to provide therapy and would be honored to assist you .

I value the uniqueness of you. No person, conflict, issue, or struggle is the same. Having worked with a varied client population in a wide array of clinical settings, my approach to each client is individualized and client-centered. Throughout the years, I've gained experience working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families as they address their own mental illness, life choices, and ineffective behavioral patterns. I have extensive experience working with adolescents and families dealing with interpersonal problems, mood disorders, substance abuse issues, and difficulties stemming from family conflict. Furthermore, I’m a certified provider of multiple evidence-based trauma therapy models including EMDR and TF-CBT. I utilize a solution-focused and cognitive-behavioral approach and will work collaboratively with you to realize the change you've been looking for.

I am a retired psychologist licensed in the state of North Carolina. Over the past 35 years, I have worked in a variety of mental health and educational settings. These have included a state vocational rehabilitation center, public schools, private practice, mental health center, and teaching in a small university. My goal in my professional career has been to experience as much as I could in different settings. In doing so I felt my varied experiences could help me provide the best services to my clients. Along with the professional experiences, I also enjoy traveling and learning about other cultures. I attended schools in Wyoming, Idaho, Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia. In each university, I learned a variety of techniques to put in my psychology toolbox. I prefer a combination of solution based and cognitive based techniques as I feel that everyone has goals but are just not sure how to obtain them. I believe my role is to assist clients to find the best path to reach them. I encourage and assist my clients to come up with their own way of getting to their goal and not rely on my way for them. I feel a sense of humor and enjoyment of music can often help in many if not all situations. My hope for you is that together we will find the path to reaching your goal(s). I will walk the path with you and support you in your journey. Last, I ask that you commit to at least three sessions so that I can get to know you better and you can decide if I am the right person to assist you on your way. Thank you for considering me.

Hello! My name is Wendi D. Nixon, Ph. D., NCC, LCMHC, and I am a National Certified Counselor #54448 and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor #4201 with the state of North Carolina. I received my Master of Arts (MA) in Counseling in 1989 from Regent University and have worked for over 27 years to help individuals, families, adolescents and children recover from trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, abuse, and neglect. More recently, I graduated from Regent University with my doctorate in Counseling and Psychological Studies with a concentration in Trauma and Crisis Counseling in May 2023.

I believe a client-centered approach is the most effective as you are the expert in how you think and feel. Finding the root of negative thoughts and feelings can be key to rising above places you may feel stuck or want to change. I am passionate about helping others find peace and healing through unconditional support on the journey to recovery. I have also focused on working with family issues such as parenting support, blended family issues, and adoptive family issues.
