As an LCMHC and psychotherapist, I believe prioritizing mental health is key to happiness and stability. Seeking help can be one of the hardest steps, so congratulations on taking it! I’ve been practicing for 5 years, but in the last decade, I have shifted my main focus to female and male clients aged 15-75 who are struggling with anxiety, depression, and other mental health symptoms.

I'm so glad you're here! I love working with new moms, helping them navigate the transition into their new role, and high achieving women who have learned to self silence and/or suppress their needs.

Find the right counselor for your family

Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Charlotte

Searching for family therapists in Charlotte starts with finding someone trained to support the relationships and patterns within a family, not just one person. Family therapy can help with parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, sibling conflict, mother-daughter concerns, and communication breakdowns across generations. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with family systems, attachment-based family therapy, play therapy, or other approaches that match what your family wants to work on.

Charlotte has many counselors across neighborhoods like Uptown, South End, Dilworth, NoDa, and Ballantyne, which can make it harder to narrow your options. Decide whether in-person sessions near home, school, or work make sense, or whether virtual appointments offer a better fit for multiple schedules. Family therapy sessions may include the full family, smaller groups, or individual members at different times, so it helps to review therapist bios for session structure, availability, communication style, and whether a free phone consultation is offered.

Therapy in Charlotte can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find family therapists who are accepting new patients, review estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and compare therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans. You can browse profiles, check fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
