I look forward to working with you! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Chemical Addictions Specialist with 20 plus years of experience in providing mental health treatment.
I feel very honored for the opportunity to care for others. I understand that mental and physical health are connected and are shaped by our past. I believe that psychiatric treatment works.
I'm Janna Williams, and my path to becoming a therapist is anything but traditional — and I think that's exactly what makes me effective. After 30 years with the State of North Carolina, I retired and did what most people wouldn't: I started over. I became a mobile crisis team responder, showed up for people in their hardest moments, and discovered exactly where I was meant to be. I hold a degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Sociology from UNC Charlotte (Go Niners! 🤘) and earned my Master of Social Work from UNC Pembroke in 2022 (Go Braves! 🏹). My background spans the judicial system, child welfare, substance use, crisis intervention, and suicide prevention — which means I've seen a lot, and very little surprises or intimidates me. I'm here with you at Greater Vision Counseling Services, Southern Pines, and I am genuinely honored to be part of your story.
Hi! My name is Daria Barksdale and I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor and a yoga instructor. I received my MS in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Georgia State University. I've been counseling for 6 years now. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress management for children, teens, and adults. I've worked in a crisis center, in the school system, with the Department of Social Services, as well as with private practices.
Availability: Open to working with clients around their schedules. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor educator, 25 years of mental health and higher education. I help those who are struggling with motivation, anxiety, depression, time management, getting work completed, feeling stressed, relationship struggles, identity concerns, family issues, and dealing with transitions. I use Wellness Counseling Strategies to help clients identify their own goals for treatment and help clients succeed in all areas of their lives. I look forward to working with you.
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor dedicated to helping Black women navigate relationship trauma, chronic stress, and the emotional toll of high-functioning expectations. My work focuses on attachment patterns, emotional regulation, and restoring a grounded sense of self. I practice through a trauma-informed, culturally responsive lens and prioritize a therapeutic alliance built on trust, empowerment, and shared decision-making. Healing requires both safety and accountability — and I hold space for both. My clinical background includes collaborative work within integrated care models, partnering with psychiatric providers to ensure comprehensive biopsychosocial treatment planning. I value coordinated care that honors both scientific rigor and relational depth. In addition to clinical practice, I serve as Board Member and Co-Chair for BraveWorks, contributing to strategic leadership and mental health advocacy initiatives. I am currently pursuing certification through the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT), expanding my clinical expertise in relational and sexual health through specialized training and supervised practice. I am also a mental health writer and speaker focused on trauma-informed care, emotional resilience, and relational healing for Black women. I welcome opportunities for workshops, panel discussions, podcast interviews, and professional collaborations centered on culturally responsive mental health care.
My aim is to first help clients feel heard, understood, and supported in their goals. Then, I aim to provide evidence based interventions to equip them with the tools necessary to help them feel stronger, and empowered to face life's challenges.
Life can feel overwhelming when you’re trying to manage your emotions, relationships, work, family expectations, and everything else at the same time. You may look like you have it all together on the outside while internally feeling anxious, exhausted, disconnected, or unsure of what comes next.
I’m Yilian Herrera, a licensed mental health professional with 16 years of experience, who provides a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can slow down, understand what you’re experiencing, and begin making meaningful changes.
I work with teens and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD-related challenges, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship concerns, low self-worth, burnout, and major life transitions. I especially enjoy working with people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or like they have spent a long time putting everyone else’s needs before their own.
Hello! My name is Cierra Alsobrooks, it’s great to meet you! I am a UNCW & NCSU alumni & have been providing therapy services for 5 years, primarily working with college aged individuals for concerns of anxiety, depression, stress management, adjustment, trauma, disordered eating, and OCD.
Hi, I'm Arlene!
As a therapist, I possess extensive experience in behavioral health, crisis intervention, and assisting individuals with substance use issues. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCASA), with more than 10 years of experience supporting individuals and families in overcoming mental health and addiction challenges. I provide an open, non-judgmental environment that allows you to connect with yourself, fostering growth, healing, and hope for the future. My aspiration is to assist you in becoming the best version of yourself.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Charlotte
Searching for ADHD therapists in Charlotte starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapy for ADHD may focus on executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation strategies, or support with organization and follow-through. Medication management is different and is handled by a psychiatrist or other qualified prescriber. Some people look for one type of care, while others work with both. If you are searching for an adult ADHD therapist, a therapist for a child, or ADHD counseling for a teen, review each therapist’s listed specialties and training to see whether their experience matches your needs.
Charlotte has many mental health care options, which can make it harder to narrow your search across neighborhoods, schedules, and care formats. In-person therapy may be useful if you prefer a local office near home, work, or school, while virtual appointments can expand your options across North Carolina and make scheduling easier. ADHD can also appear alongside concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship strain, so it can help to look for therapists specializing in ADHD and any related concerns you want to address. Before booking, read therapist bios for details about approach, session structure, availability, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.
Therapy in Charlotte can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for ADHD therapists in Charlotte who are accepting new patients, compare in-person and virtual availability, and enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can review therapist profiles, confirm fit through a free phone consultation when available, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
