I hold a bachelor’s degree in Sociology and a master’s degree in Conflict Studies and Dispute Resolution from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. I also hold a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy/Counseling, with honors of distinction from Capella University. I am a trained mediator who loves the opportunity to allow clients to be exactly who they are, while they figure out who they want to be.
I’m a seasoned therapist with over 25 years of experience supporting people in finding meaningful, holistic ways to improve mood, clarity, and overall well-being. My approach is rooted in Adlerian psychology and focuses on personal empowerment, present-day strengths, and forward movement rather than remaining anchored in the past. I value depth, connection, and practical insight, and I strive to create a space that feels human, supportive, and collaborative. Above all, I believe healing happens most readily through genuine connection, empathy, and being truly seen.
I’m Caleb Evington, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing telehealth therapy to adults across North Carolina. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill after completing my undergraduate degree at Appalachian State University. My professional background includes trauma-focused care and psychosocial oncology, where I have supported individuals and couples through complex emotional, relational, and health-related transitions. I also co-founded a specialized relationship and sex therapy clinic within an academic cancer center and am completing advanced training toward certification through AASECT.
In private practice, I specialize in sex and relationship therapy, anxiety, trauma, identity, life transitions, and patterns that interfere with connection, pleasure, or emotional well-being. I provide LGBTQ+-affirming, sex-positive, kink-aware, and consensual nonmonogamy-affirming care. I often work with thoughtful, self-aware adults who understand a great deal intellectually but still feel stuck in patterns they cannot simply think their way out of.
I am the founder and owner or RKM Counseling. For the past 18 years I have worked as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, helping clients through both extremely challenging circumstances and daily struggles with life. In 2008, I obtained my Masters degree in Counseling from the #2 nationally ranked counseling program. I specialize in grief and loss, life transitions, anxiety and depression.
I have been practicing as a therapist for 8 years and believe that therapy should be both meaningful and practical providing a space to better understand yourself while developing tools that can make a difference in your everyday life. My experience includes working with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and the challenges that often come with demanding roles and responsibilities. I have also worked closely with first responders and provide clinical supervision and support to other therapists.
My approach is integrative and tailored to the individual rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model. Depending on your needs, I may incorporate EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion-Focused Therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and trauma-informed care.
Stress management is a particular area of interest in my practice. I enjoy creating guided meditation and mindfulness experiences tailored to what a client is experiencing. I also welcome opportunities to incorporate your interests, strengths, and the things that genuinely matter to you into our work together.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina with 10 years of professional work experience in both private practice and the hospital inpatient setting.

I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
"Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes."
Carl Jung.
Welcome and thank you for checking my profile. I am a first-generation college graduate, bilingual and offering sessions in both English and Portuguese, neurodivergent, and lived-experience-informed therapist with an extensive background working with people from all walks of life.
I earned my BA in Social Work in Brazil (UFF / Rio de Janeiro) and my Master of Social Work (MSW) at East Tennessee State University. Both of my internship placements (undergraduate and graduate) were completed in Psychiatric Emergencies. Throughout my career, I have supported clients across outpatient, inpatient, State hospital, crisis management, and school-based settings.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), working in North Carolina for the past 9 years. I am passionate about helping children, teens and adults improve on their strengths, find hope, and achieve their goals. I specialize in treating trauma in both children and adults. In addition I am certified in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I also have experience treating ADHD, PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, and Relationship Issues.
Hi, I’m Sheena Gaddis, LCSW, and I’m so glad you’re here. I earned my Master of Social Work from Fayetteville State University and have over 15 years of experience helping people navigate life’s challenges. I believe therapy should feel like a safe, welcoming space where you can be heard without judgment. I use approaches such as CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help you build coping skills, gain clarity, and create meaningful change at your own pace.
I am a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and dual-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP). I provide care to children, adolescents, and adults, and my background in both family medicine and psychiatric mental health allows me to consider the important connection between physical and mental well-being.
I evaluate and manage a wide range of psychiatric and behavioral health concerns, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar and other mood disorders, trauma and PTSD, personality disorders, substance use and addiction, chronic stress, anger and aggression, sleep concerns, and emotional and behavioral difficulties. My medical background also informs my work with individuals whose mental health may be affected by chronic pain, medical conditions, medications, or other physical health concerns.
In addition to my medical and psychiatric training, I have specialized training and certifications in various evidence-based psychotherapy modalities. My therapeutic work may include individual therapy, trauma-focused therapy, family therapy, and parent-child therapeutic approaches. This combination of medical, psychiatric, and therapeutic training allows me to provide care that is individualized to the needs of each person and family.
