If you’re here, it might be because stress and worry have started to take over your daily life. Maybe your mind is constantly racing with “what ifs,” feelings of self-doubt, or uncertainty about what to do next. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own. My passion is helping people find relief from anxiety and rediscover a sense of calm and confidence. We’ll start by focusing on what helps you feel more stable and grounded, so those overwhelming thoughts and feelings don’t have as much control. From there, we’ll work toward your bigger goals, whether that’s navigating relationships, healing from past experiences, or just feeling more like yourself again. I’m a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 11 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families in private practice and university settings. I specialize in supporting people through anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, stress, trauma, self-esteem issues, and grief. Finding the right therapist can feel like a big step, but you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re curious about working together, I’d love to connect. Let’s set up a free consultation to talk through any questions you have and see if we’re the right fit.

I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor, a wife over twenty years and a mother of five. I've worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family conflict, bipolar disorder, and many others. Everyone at some point need help overcoming problems that life throws our way. It's always helpful to have someone to talk to and help release the unwanted and harmful buildup that life brings. Throughout our journey together, I will provide you with a listening ear, guidance, and practical solutions to improve your mental health and well-being. You can expect to gain insight into gaps in your own thinking, coping mechanisms, and in turn improve your overall quality of life. Together we can navigate through the unwelcome issue that arise in your life.

“One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.” Abraham Maslow Perhaps you're feeling down or anxious - maybe you're unsure about the future of a relationship, aren't satisfied with how you're managing stressors, feeling burned out or depleted, or feel worn out by past experiences and difficult to bear emotions. Whatever your needs may be, I am here to offer support and guidance from a well versed, compassionate and non-judgmental perspective. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery. In my sessions I promote improved awareness of the processes that lead to a sense of feeling stuck, skills to meaningfully improve your relationships, and transformation in the way you think and respond to your experiences. You will find a strong focus on restorative techniques used to soothe the nervous system. Teaching the skills necessary to calm our physiological as well as our cognitive responses lead to the most balanced outcomes and meaningful change.

Hi, my name is Sara. I often work with individuals who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by mental health challenges. There is something getting in the way of a more meaningful life. This can show up as an addiction, OCD, anxiety, low self-esteem, or another mental health concern. I believe that everyone has the natural drive and ability to live a fulfilling life, with the right supports and resources. My approach is rooted in the belief that therapy is not about "fixing" but about learning to reconnect with parts of ourselves that we once had to push aside. Change cannot happen without safety. I seek to create an environment where you can show up exactly as you are. We will work together to explore old patterns with compassion and curiosity and create new patterns in the present moment. We will try to understand the roadblocks to a meaningful life, while honoring that there are wisdom and pain in old patterns. Therapy is not an easy process, but my hope is that you feel empowered and challenged to meet your goals in a safe environment. You are the expert of your life, and I will go at the pace that makes sense for you and your nervous system. If you are ready, I would love the opportunity to walk alongside you on your healing journey.

Are you overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, or struggling in your relationships? We create a safe space for you to come and just be yourself, get curious about what's going on, and create a plan for getting back on track. We are trauma-informed, holistically-minded therapists who will help you grow healthier in your body, soul, and spirit.

Thank you for selecting Ellie Mental Health-Raleigh and me for your counseling needs. I look forward to working with you in accomplishing your goals. My counseling experience includes work with social anxiety, anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues and life transitions. I have worked with college-aged students, children, adolescents, families, and individuals. I believe in a collaborative counselor-client relationship where clients can gain the skills to live a full, productive life. I also work from a holistic perspective where physical, and spiritual is just as important as mental wellbeing.

Welcome! I am a warm, sensitive, compassionate and positive person, which is the foundation for the work I do as a therapist. I connect well and welcome diversity in my clients, and I have a unique ability to be supportive and give positive feedback, while also encouraging you to challenge yourself and push ahead towards your goals. In my practice, I provide an accepting, non-judgmental environment which helps facilitate a trusting, caring relationship with my clients. My approach is client-centered and solution-focused. I also incorporate strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT).

I specialize in meeting with people experiencing anxiety, attention difficulty, impulsive/risk-taking behaviors, depression, and interpersonal conflict. My first priority is in collaborating with my clients to create spaces where change feels possible. I am especially attentive to the ideas of reducing stigma surrounding mental health care, trust associated with strict confidentiality, and increasing motivation using strengths- and evidence-based techniques. I bring an integrative approach to therapy, combining aspects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, CBT, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and DBT (including Mindfulness) to find the best way forward for each client. I have experiences working with clients of all ages, across different clinical settings. I spent much of the past decade living and working overseas, managing an Eco-Lodge in northern Malawi, teaching English at a hagwon in South Korea, and working remotely as a therapist from Brazil. I enjoy playing basketball, reading (mostly sci-fi!), rock climbing, and managing far too many podcast subscriptions.

At Off the Couch, LLC, I offer a unique and holistic approach to counseling that incorporates movement with the therapeutic process. You will be allowed the opportunity to move forward mentally, emotionally, and physically in your path towards healing, growth, and transformation. Do you want to try something new and different?

I help my clients manage fear of rejection/abandonment through self compassion and radical acceptance. I help those who are exploring their self identity and need to build up their self confidence. Those who maybe neurodivergent, have immigrated here, or who find themselves not fitting in. I affirm LGBTQIA+, Black, Indigenous, People of Color, and Multicultural. My approach is empathetic and culturally sensitive to uphold my client's values and beliefs. I work on empowering my clients to focus on their strengths. I work with clients who tend to be perfectionists and have a hard time making mistakes. I support my clients navigate their interpersonal relationships to connect and communicate more effectively. My approach is validating, client-centered, and direct to meet your needs and goals. There are no quick fixes but developing life skills can improve your overall well-being. I offer a safe platform where my clients are finally heard and validated. I believe that everyone has truth within themselves to unlock questions and dispose of disbeliefs.

The pressure to succeed, the self-doubt that has you questioning your own potential, and the anxiety that comes with wanting to get everything right really adds up faster than anyone tells you it will. And somehow, you're still showing up every day. I work with undergraduate and graduate students who are doing everything they're supposed to do and still feeling like something's off. Whether it's anxiety, identity, relationships, family, or just the weight of figuring out who you're becoming, we can work through it together, honestly and without judgment. I'm Melvin, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 9 years of experience, including time at the counseling centers of NC State and NCCU. Sessions are fully virtual, available to students anywhere in North Carolina, and built around your schedule. If something in you is ready for things to feel different then let's make some time to talk! Book a free 30-minute consultation or reach me directly at (919) 410-8553.

I’m deeply passionate about working with teens and young adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, or neurodivergence. I understand that navigating these challenges can feel incredibly overwhelming and isolating. My clients often come to me feeling stuck and uncertain, desiring clarity and a sense of direction. They are eager to grow and find their path, yet they may not have the tools or support they need to make this vision a reality. My role is to walk alongside them with empathy and patience, helping them build confidence and resilience. Together, we work to uncover their unique strengths and develop strategies that honor their individual experiences and aspirations. My goal is to provide a supportive space where they can explore their feelings, discover their authentic selves, and move forward with hope and purpose.

If things at home are tense, chaotic, or not working, therapy can guide you to repairing, restructuring and rebuilding these relationships. Often, people get sucked into repeated conflicts that go in circles, reach stalemate, or always end the same. Having a therapist to guide these conversations can help these conflicts become conversations... conversations where each person feels heard, understood, and supported. Conversations like these can heal old wounds, create a foundation for lasting change, and help people reconnect. Therapy is meant to help you uncover the hidden messages your emotions are trying to tell you every day. I am a licensed clinical social worker, a clinical supervisor. I have been extensively trained in Family Systems, Family Structural, and Eco-systemic Family Therapy, and also train other clinicians in these approaches. I have also been trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Let me help you create time to dedicate to the things that you deeply want, need and care about. Depression, anxiety, shame, and anger are usually symptoms of things within yourself that you have neglected, given up on, or settled for. Instead of just treating the symptoms, I want to help you get to the core of what these emotions are trying to tell you.
