✦ Our approach

Healing patterns, not just symptoms.

Our clinicians draw on evidence-based approaches (ACT, CBT, DBT, and EMDR), not passing trends. Every plan is built around your specific goals, not a diagnosis code.

01

Evidence-based, not one-note

We match the method to the person — combining research-backed approaches so treatment fits how you actually think and feel.

02

Goals you can point to

Therapy here has direction. You'll know what you're working toward, and how we'll know it's working.

03

Skills that outlast sessions

We build real tools for regulating emotion and navigating hard moments — ones you'll still have long after treatment ends.

✦ Common questions

Everything you want to know first.

We'll spend time learning about your history, what makes you uniquely you, and your goals for change. Together we'll identify a direction that supports relief and lasting improvement.

Sessions typically run 45–50 minutes. About half of clients see sustained improvement in 15–20 sessions; more complex histories may take longer. Our goal is never to keep you in therapy longer than you need.

We're a private-pay practice and not in-network with insurers. We chose private pay on purpose: no insurance company deciding your diagnosis, session count, or what “counts” as treatment — just you, your therapist, and a plan built for your actual goals. Your records stay between us, not in an insurer's database. We provide a monthly superbill so you can pursue out-of-network reimbursement, and many clients use HSA/FSA funds toward sessions.

Yes — we offer secure online sessions across the PSYPACT states, including North Carolina and 30+ others, so you can keep your therapist even if you move or travel.

Yes. We support individuals, couples, and families — including parents and their kids navigating conflict, anxiety, or big transitions together. We see teens ages 13 and up, in addition to adults.

Call, email, or complete our contact form and we'll send a link to the Client Portal to complete your paperwork before your first session.
