I enjoy working with people who are interested in returning to the truth of who they are. I value people. Intuition is often within my work with people. I am honored to walk with people in their orientation to healing and health in the ways important to them. Harmony in mind, body, and spirit.

A holistic trauma informed approach with a culturally grounded orientation to care is my offering. I love to incorporate breath work and somatic work in with talk therapy all while centering values.

I respect the courage of getting to this point. It’s reasonable that we all would benefit from support so I am happy to walk you home to you, the truth of you that deserves liberation, healing and health because your life has value and I’m so glad you’re here. You deserve it all.

Michelle Bell

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


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.

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I believe that most people have the answers within themselves to work through their own problems - my role is to help you unlock that inner wisdom. I have experience helping people who are struggling with anxiety and depression, or who are numbing out through substance use. My clients are often working through life transitions and other challenging situations, such as relationship issues, grief, or chronic pain. Perhaps you have not been handling your emotions very well. You may even feel hopeless, or unsure how to articulate what you are feeling. Therapy is a collaborative journey to a more healthy state of mind.

Frequently asked questions

Therapy Chair

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands ADHD

Headway helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a ADHD Therapist in Charlotte, NC

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.
