Look, your friends are probably great. In fact, we encourage healthy supportive relationships. However, your friends and family are bias, and they probably love you. Our therapists are professionally trained to help you explore and discuss your difficulties and develop solutions to your particular problems from a professional stance. They have expertise in helping you express and evaluate your feelings, focusing entirely on you. Our therapists have extensive training on maintaining a nonjudgmental stance. Throughout their training, coursework, clinical supervision, and their own therapy, our psychotherapists become experienced at keeping their opinions and feelings in check. Your therapist should provide a safe, accepting space where you feel free to explore any types of thoughts and feelings.

FAQs are a great way to help site visitors find quick answers to common questions about your business and create a better navigation experience. That’s not a problem. If your therapist asks you a question that you don’t want to answer, just tell them that you’re not ready to discuss it. We can circle back when you are ready.

All counseling sessions are conducted via a secure and easy-to-use telehealth platform (similar to Zoom or Skype). We do not provide any in-person counseling at this time.

I provide counseling for teens and adults residing in the state North Carolina. We do not provide couples counseling.

No. Many of our clients find medication is helpful, but many of them also progress well in therapy without medication. If you want to be evaluated for psychiatric medication, we can help plan coordination with your primary care physician or a psychiatrist. If you are already taking medication, we will coordinate care with your doctor.

Your results are dependent on you. Simply showing up to your therapy session isn't enough. You must want help with the challenges you face. You also must be willing to put in the work to get the desired results. Don’t pretend to be okay. It’s okay to talk about things that feel embarrassing or uncomfortable. Regularly attend your sessions and complete your homework as prescribed. This is not a “pat and chat,” this is “suit up and fight to change your life.” Be open and honest with your therapist about how the sessions are going for you, especially if you feel something is not working for you. Ask questions.

Relapse is common. While you may be tempted to hide a relapse, your therapist can probably tell anyway. A mental health professional is trained to recognize the signs of relapse. Maintaining honesty with them about your actions and feelings is imperative to helping them help you.
