I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment where clients can show up as their authentic selves. My approach is compassionate, direct when needed, and focused on helping clients build practical tools for everyday life while also exploring deeper emotional patterns and experiences.
I enjoy working with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, stress, identity exploration, and emotional overwhelm. I am passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients and creating an affirming therapeutic space where clients feel respected and understood.
I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to meet clients where they are while helping them move toward healing, clarity, and meaningful growth.
After working 15+ years as an RN I am so excited to be making a difference as a provider of mental healthcare. Working from home allows me to offer better calendar flexibility to accommodate different schedules and to take care of my aging dogs at home!
I am compassionate and empathetic and here to help you reach your goals and become the best version of yourself.
During my training I worked primarily in community behavioral health. It is my goal to beneficially serve the community and provide support to those who need it while hoping to reduce barriers and stigmas that prevent people from getting the care they really need and deserve. Access is for everyone and I want to be a beacon of that message.
I have a certificate in Spanish for Healthcare Providers and as soon as I become a little more fluent I will be able to extend my services, accurately, into a second language.
I’m Christina, a warm, down-to-earth therapist who genuinely enjoys getting to know people and understanding what makes them who they are.
I’ve spent more than 15 years working with people in schools, hospitals, community mental health, crisis intervention, and trauma-focused settings. Along the way, I’ve supported veterans, first responders, trauma and abuse survivors, parents, professionals, adolescents, and neurodivergent individuals.
My path into therapy has given me the opportunity to sit with people during some incredibly difficult moments. It has taught me that there is almost always more to someone than what we see on the surface - and that life rarely fits neatly into categories.
I’m interested in the whole picture: your experiences, relationships, strengths, struggles, sense of humor, values, and the things you may not always understand about yourself.
I also believe therapy can be both meaningful and human. There will be serious conversations, but there can also be laughter, honesty, and those moments when something finally clicks.
You don’t have to have an impressive story or a perfect explanation for why you’re here. We can start with wherever life has you right now.

Hi, I’m Tina Chen, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping clients feel their best. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, and ADHD, and I combine medication management with practical tools from CBT and positive psychology. With advanced training from California Baptist University and National University, I focus on creating a supportive, collaborative space where you can build confidence, resilience, and balance in your everyday life.
Welcome! I’m Nariah, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and improve their overall well-being. I believe mental health care should feel approachable, supportive, and free of judgment. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable sharing your experiences. Whether you're seeking help for anxiety, depression, ADHD or other mental health concerns, I’m here to partner with you in creating a treatment plan that fits your goals and lifestyle.
As a therapist, my goal is to create a space where individuals, teens, and couples feel safe, respected, and truly heard. Whether you're navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, or just trying to find a clearer path forward—therapy can be a powerful place to reconnect with yourself and your goals.
Taking the first step to find a therapist or meet a new therapist is tricky! I am so glad that you are here! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and have been working in Community Mental Health for the past 3 years. My main focus that I work with in my practice over the past few years have mainly been PTSD and Postpartum.
I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who works with children, adolescents, and adults. I understand that reaching out for psychiatric care can feel overwhelming—especially when you’ve been struggling for a while, have tried treatments that haven’t worked, or are trying to find the right help for your child.
I work with individuals experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, mood disorders, trauma-related symptoms, autism/neurodivergence, sleep difficulties, and emotional or behavioral dysregulation. My goal is to provide a space where you feel heard, understood, and comfortable being honest about what is and isn’t working.
While I work with all ages across the lifespan, I especially enjoy working with children and adolescents and patterning with parents who are trying to understand complex behavioral, emotional, or attention concerns.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Asheville
Finding OCD therapists in Asheville starts with looking for training that matches the care you need. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for bios that mention ERP, OCD intrusive thoughts, obsessive thoughts, compulsions, avoidance, or the OCD cycle. Some therapists may also list approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy, which can support OCD care when used by a therapist with relevant experience.
Asheville has a smaller mental health care market than many larger North Carolina cities, so virtual appointments can expand your options beyond nearby offices. This may help if you want a therapist with specific ERP training, a certain appointment time, or experience with related concerns like anxiety, compulsive disorder symptoms in adults, or obsessive behavior. When reading therapist profiles, look for the difference between a general mention of OCD and specific details about ERP training, session structure, and what the therapist focuses on in care.
Therapy in Asheville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your estimated out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you compare OCD therapists who are accepting new patients, review their bios, check virtual or in-person availability, and see estimated costs after entering your insurance details, so you can find a therapist who matches your needs and accepts your plan.
