Hi, I'm Shakelia! I believe you deserve a space where you can be yourself, speak openly, and feel genuinely heard. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults and adolescents navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, and difficult life experiences. Whether you're feeling emotionally exhausted, struggling in your relationships, or noticing patterns you can't seem to break, I'm here to help you make sense of what you're going through and find a healthier way forward.
I know that opening up about personal struggles isn't always easy. My goal is to create a comfortable, judgment-free environment where we can have honest conversations, recognize your strengths, and work toward changes that feel meaningful to you. I bring warmth, compassion, and a practical perspective to our sessions, and I believe you should feel supported while also being encouraged to grow.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 15 years of experience as a therapist, I am dedicated to helping individuals and groups navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and evidence-based care. My practice focuses on supporting clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and the effects of trauma.
My professional background includes experience in psychiatric mental health, telehealth services, patient advocacy, care coordination behavior health counseling, and nursing leadership. Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of healthcare settings, providing psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and supportive counseling. My leadership experience has also strengthened my ability to coordinate comprehensive, patient-centered care and collaborate effectively with multidisciplinary healthcare teams. I serve adolescents, adults, and older adults and strive to create a welcoming, respectful, and culturally sensitive environment where clients feel comfortable discussing their concerns. My goal is to help clients improve their emotional well-being, develop healthy coping strategies, and achieve meaningful progress in their mental health journey.
Hi, I'm Christopher. I believe we all have the capacity to live fulfilling lives marked by agency and self-efficacy. My approach is trauma-informed, client-centered, and narrative-based, so our work centers your story, not a diagnosis. If you're ready to feel heard and start writing the next chapter, I'd love to work with you.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor passionate about helping clients move past what's holding them back from being their best selves. I am a proud alumnus of North Carolina Central University (B.A.) and Nova Southeastern University (M.S., Mental Health Counseling). I welcome clients from all walks of life and every stage of the journey, whether you're new to therapy or returning. Together, we identify what isn't working, build on what is, and create a path toward real, lasting change. My goal is that you leave feeling heard, understood, and equipped to move forward.
I have 21 years of experience working with clients. I specialize in Trauma therapy. I use Cognitive Behavioral based therapies to include EMDR. I am often told I am a good listener and nonjudgmental.
Hi, I’m Dr. Olamide Alabi, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a passion for helping people navigate mental health challenges. I have over a decade of experience in mental health and substance abuse treatment, working in hospitals, community mental health centers, and recovery programs.
I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Samford University and hold multiple degrees in nursing, law, and agricultural economics. My diverse background, having studied in Nigeria, and the U.S., helps me provide culturally competent and inclusive care.
I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, PTSD, and substance use disorders. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard and empowered on their journey to wellness.
Taking the first step toward better health is an act of courage, and I am here to support you every step of the way. As a board-certified physiatrist with 29 years of experience, I am committed to providing compassionate, personalized care that honors your unique story, background, and lived experiences. I take the time to truly understand who you are — your strengths, your challenges, and your goals — so that together we can build a care plan that is both meaningful and effective for your life.
I’m Charlotte Aeger Ross, PMHNP, a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner providing integrative mental health care for children, adolescents, and adults. My clinical approach combines evidence-based medication management with holistic strategies to address underlying biological, psychological, and lifestyle factors contributing to conditions such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, and trauma-related disorders. I focus on individualized, collaborative treatment plans designed to promote long-term stability and overall well-being.
I’m a person-centered therapist with more than ten years of experience helping people navigate grief, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship struggles, family conflict, heartbreak, abuse, and trauma. I work with a broad range of clients and bring specialized training in EMDR and trauma-focused care to my practice. I know what it is to struggle, and I believe healing begins when you no longer have to face that struggle alone. My role is to meet you where you are, help you imagine where you want to be, and walk alongside you as you find the courage to get there.
I have been a LPC for over 10 years and have worked with a very diverse group of clients. They range in age from 6 to 60. I specialize in adolescents and trauma.
