Therapists in Raleigh, NC
When it comes to finding the right therapist, Raleigh, NC can seem like an optimal spot. But even in a populous city, it’s not always so simple to find mental health services. There are a number of therapeutic approaches in the mental health field, and each may be more or less effective on different mental health conditions. What you personally need in counseling services may not be available in your area. In addition, it’s essential to consider the importance of therapeutic alliance. For therapy to be successful, you need to feel comfortable speaking with your therapist.
When in Raleigh, find therapists through online therapy platforms like BetterHelp to streamline the process. BetterHelp offers over 30,000 mental health care providers, with professional experience in treating everything from panic attacks to post-traumatic stress disorder. By filling out an online questionnaire, you’ll be matched with a therapist that meets your needs. If you don’t feel a connection with your chosen therapist, you can switch at no additional cost. It’s also easy to fit appointments into a busy schedule, and with video chat, phone, and text messaging options you can attend your therapy sessions from the comfort of your own home or office.
Mental health care is important for all ages, and therapists can provide support as well as offer a number of tools to help shift you into a more positive mindset. While mental health is one of the more popular searches online, it’s not always easy to take that first step. Simplify the process by reaching out to one of the licensed providers at BetterHelp, and get started on the path toward mental health and wellness.

Life is not easy, and I know that finding the right therapist can be hard. However, I strive to provide you with a positive and relaxed therapy experience through active listening, empathy, support and respect. Together, we will explore only the issues that you feel are important to your personal mental health journey. We'll find effective coping skills that you can use in your everyday life to better manage negative thoughts and upsetting emotions. I want you to be able to end each therapy session feeling supported, heard, and more confident and empowered to take control of whatever stressors life is throwing at you right now. I am actively licensed in the United States as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC). I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology with a concentration in Counseling. I have 15+ years of experience in the mental health field and am in my late 30's, married, and a mother. I have worked in a wide array of diverse behavioral health settings, including outpatient, residential, academic and school settings, community settings and most recently in a behavioral health hospital and psychiatric emergency department. I have experience working with individuals of all ages and with a variety of diagnoses, including mood & anxiety disorders, substance abuse, personality disorders, trauma and abuse, and supporting parents of kids and teens with developmental delays and ASD diagnoses, just to name just a few. I am also open to both secular counseling or counseling from a religious or spiritual perspective. I primarily utilize a cognitive-behavioral (CBT), Interpersonal (IPT) and person-centered approach to therapy. I aim to help you find your own solutions by examining how our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected and also focusing on any interpersonal challenges in your life. I seek to create a comfortable, non-judgmental environment where you maintain control of what is discussed, what goals are identified, and also what therapy approaches are utilized in sessions. In addition, I want to help find practical and healthy coping strategies that will work best for you personally; this might include how to stop the constant loop of negative thoughts often associated with depression and anxiety, or identifying ways to gain increased confidence around others and stop self-loathing. I also commonly utilize DBT, EFT, and ACT therapy strategies, as well as other modalities to help you learn effective ways to regulate difficult emotions. ****COMMUNICATION & THERAPY PREFERENCES: In addition to 24/7 unlimited messaging, I am available for weekly text-based chat sessions. I am temporarily not able to offer video-based sessions or phone calls, but I plan to resume these modes of therapy in the coming months. Therefore, I would encourage you to seek out another counselor if you are in need of weekly video or phone appointments at this time. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. I assure you that your sessions will be confidential and in compliance with the ethical standards set forth by the American Counseling Association. I would be honored to work with you during this important time in your life. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. I want to support you in any way that I can, and I look forward to meeting you and beginning our work together!

Starting or re-starting therapy can sometimes feel overwhelming – it takes courage to look at how you’re feeling or what you’re going through and decide to reach out to a therapist who can walk with you through challenging emotions, relationship dynamics, life changes, and personal goals. Maybe you’re not quite sure where to start, but you know you would like to explore what you’re feeling, your identity, or ways to continue to grow. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, I seek to create a safe, respectful space to embrace this vulnerable work. I believe our identities are shaped by our thoughts, feelings, relationships, trauma (from acute to generational), and systemic factors that impact our wellbeing. We carry the weight of our past and messages we receive in the words and actions of others every day. I will be a therapist who helps you examine your experiences, thoughts, and feelings in the context of relationships and society to understand yourself as you are and as you want to become. It is normal when doing this inner work to feel sadness, shame, or fear. Together, we can identify diverse coping skills rooted in cognitive, behavioral, dialectical, and emotion-focused therapies as we encounter these emotions. My goal as your therapist is to be present for you, to help you feel seen, heard, and recognize your inherent dignity and self-worth. My clinical areas of specialty are depression, anxiety, healing from trauma, burnout, identity development, chronic illness, and communication skills. My therapy style is warm, empathetic, client-centered, and trauma informed. My approach as a therapist echoes Robert Frost when he said, “The best way out is always through.” In my spare time, I enjoy listening to true crime podcasts and a wide range of music, watercolor, crochet, reading, the outdoors, and learning to cook new recipes. It is a privilege to connect with you and start this meaningful work.

I believe for a person to thrive one MUST first be willing to examine themselves and be courageous enough to take the necessary steps to heal. Motivated by the desire to help and have a positive impact on others in the community, a career in therapy is fitting and intrinsically rewarding for me. As a therapist I aim to help adults ages 23 and older who struggle with mental health, trauma, addiction, or various life challenges. Every session we develop a genuine and therapeutic relationship that combines a person centered approach with mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy, and various trauma techniques. Whether you require professional and clinical expertise, need to work through a difficult time in your life, or want to process through strong emotions, I'm here to help.
