Is something keeping you up at night or you are unable to focus at home and/or work/school? There is a chance that you may need to speak to someone and I may be that someone you need to speak with. My name is Shalika Eaddy-Henderson and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have been working in the field for about 8 years and have worked with several populations (homeless, substance abuse, children, adolescence and adults). I started a non-traditional path where I received my first Master's degree in Public Administration while working for a bank. While this may not seem like it is the best path to eventually obtain a Master's degree in Social Work, it helped me tremendously. I gained an appreciation for some of the things an individual may go through which can lead to depression, anxiety, substance abuse, etc. Working at a bank is the reason why I chose the career path of being a Social Worker, to be able to help others manage the stressors of life. My approach to therapy is to meet the client where they are in a prompt and appropriate manner. I like to begin my sessions with how your week, day or last hour has been and then move into the therapeutic process. However, it will be totally up to you how you would like to begin the process as THERAPY IS FOR YOU! I attended the University of New Haven (CT) for my Master's in Public Administration and Fordham University (NY) for my Master's in Social Work and have enjoyed every bit of the transition from being employed with a bank to engaging in the therapeutic process with individuals. Additionally, I am close to completing my Doctorate in Social Work at Capella University. It will be a pleasure working with you when and if you are ready!

I am a LCSW and LCAS-A who has been providing therapy in NC since 2013 working with children, families, couples, and individuals with various concerns such as depression, anxiety, parenting concerns, financial concerns, ADHD, communication, workplace conflict, self-esteem issues, suicide thoughts, drug use, alcohol use, personality and mood disorders. I have also done extensive work with trauma clients helping them heal from sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. I believe the strength is within each client I work with and my job is to help you see your own strength. It takes courage to take the first step to reach out for help. Your confidence will begin to grow as you begin to take one step at a time with my guidance and support. I use various therapy modalities from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution-Focused, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, etc. to assist clients. We will work together to develop treatment goals for your specific concerns. I look forward to working with you.

Hello! I am Mary Hales, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist.

I approach counseling in a manner that empowers individuals to create positive change in their situations. My approach is to use a range of therapeutic modalities, to focus on the clients and their needs. I believe in creating a therapeutic relationship in which clients can feel safe while discussing and exploring their problems. Counseling should be considered a journey of personal exploration, which may lead to major changes in your life perspectives and decisions. It takes courage to take the first steps towards seeking this journey of personal exploration for a more fulfilling and happier life. So, if you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you to achieve your personal goals. I look forward to working with you!

(NOTE: Right now I am only accepting new clients that either can schedule during day time hours OR are text only clients) My name is Valerie Glass. I have worked as a therapist in a variety of settings for nearly 20 years.

I have extensive experience working with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship issues, and family issues.

I think of therapy as a journey to healing and becoming better - whatever that means to the individual. My role is to really understand where clients are coming from and to support their desired direction. I am quite humbled by my role as a therapist and the vulnerabilities I see and experience as part of this role. I project an open and honest atmosphere and respect the challenges brought to the space.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience in helping people find solutions to their problems. Over the years, I have been told by clients that they really feel that I am listening to them and trying to understand what is going on in their lives and how they feel. Clients have also told me that they do not feel any sense of judgment, but rather that I accept them for who they are and where they are in their life’s journey. My style is empathetic and solution focused. I will spend time asking you questions in order to get to know you and try to find out what is at the heart of your issue. Together, we will talk about possible avenues you may want to take, or changes you may want to consider. I may give you some “homework” assignments…things to write out or think about, worksheets to complete, or even techniques/exercises to practice in your own time so that some of what we discuss in our sessions is reinforced. Most of all, I will be an objective listener, helping you to gain insight into what is going on with you, so that you are able to make the choices and changes you want to, in your own time. I look forward to working with you!
