If you’re an individual who is currently stuck or in a life transition, I’m here to help you maximize your true potential, find your clear purpose and release the power within. Life transitions and challenges are personal and unique. And although they can be abrupt and sometimes predictable, we all experience them throughout our lives. Stressors are often emotional taxing changes that create uncertainty and confusion. These life changing events cause us to re-examine our present sense of being and evaluate our priorities. I will help you envision the future that you want, create goals, then help you pursue those goals. To realize this plan, you’ll need a coach, a partner, an ally during the difficult process of transition. You are the expert! You know yourself! I ask powerful questions and help to facilitate positive change. I am committed to serving you as your accountability partner, therapist, and ally during this time of uncertainty and definite change. As your therapist, I can help you develop healthy coping mechanisms to adapt to the stress surrounding your current circumstances.


I have extensive experience in providing the tools, strategies, and support to help others create meaningful change in their lives. As a professional certified life coach, entrepreneur, licensed clinical mental health counselor and part time professor, I know first-hand, the challenges of struggling to find balance, ignite passion and seting goals. I hold a Ph.D. in Counselor Education from UNC-Charlotte. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, (LCMHC) a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS), and a Certified Clinical Supervisor (CCS). I have three years of teaching experience at a local university teaching graduate students in the field of counseling. I am experienced psychotherapist whom specializes in child and adolescent behavioral therapy, military families, trauma, addiction counseling, parenting, mood disorders, and counselor training & supervision.

If you're carrying grief, trauma, anxiety, or the weight of trying to hold everything together, you don't have to keep doing it alone. A few years ago, I knew I had to fully embrace the work I was built for. Helping individuals, families, and whole communities navigate what feels impossible is what drives me, and that shows up in every session. I'm Gloria Bailey, a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) and licensed clinical addiction specialist (LCASa) with nearly a decade of experience in trauma, PTSD, grief, substance use, crisis intervention, and more. I bring a supportive, non-judgmental space where we move at your pace. When you're ready to take that next step, I'd be glad to walk alongside you.

Melissa Francis

Therapist

Virtual • Cramerton, NC


Originally from Maryland, I moved to North Carolina in 2008 and recently to SC and have built both my professional life and my family roots here. I am the mother of two adult sons and the grandmother of two young girls, roles that deeply inform my compassion, steadiness, and commitment to helping others find their way through difficult seasons.

I earned my graduate degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Gardner‐Webb University in 2018 and began my career as a hospice grief counselor, supporting individuals and families through loss for four years. Since 2021, I have worked in private practice, where I continue to provide trauma‐informed, client‐centered care. In my part‐time work, I am trained in Equilateral EMDR, an experiential modality that incorporates the healing presence of horses into the therapeutic process.
