Hello! I’m Jullee Capshaw, MA, LCMHC (she/her/hers). I began working in the mental health field in 2018 at a psychiatric hospital in Atlanta, GA, where I developed a strong foundation in supporting individuals through complex challenges. I later worked as a Registered Behavior Technician at an autism behavioral clinic, providing ABA therapy to children and their families.
I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of North Georgia and my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from UNC Charlotte. During graduate school, I completed an internship at Davidson College while continuing my work with children with autism.
I am now a fully licensed counselor and am grateful to have my own practice, where I strive to create a supportive, compassionate space for clients to grow and heal.
Are you tired of being a prisoner to your own negative thoughts, trying everything to ease your sadness and frustration, but feel like you are going in circles? Maybe you've tried self-help books, talking to friends, staying busy, but to no avail. Have you gone through something recently or in the past, which was traumatic and painful, where you feel like keeping to yourself is safest, and doing whatever you can to not get hurt again? Maybe you feel unsure about the world, anxious, unmotivated, and don't know why.
Imagine what it would be like to wake up and not feel so anxious, and able to combat nagging, negative beliefs. Whether you have depression or anxiety, stemming from traumatic experiences or chronic illness, imagine being able to gain strength to gently put these experiences into perspective, and move on about your day.
Let me provide you with healing techniques and tools which I have utilized with many clients. Free yourself from the past and finally find "you" again. OR, let me help you find the new YOU. I offer free phone consultations, as having conversation over the phone with your clinician first, could put you at ease. Don't delay your peace, reach out now.
"Believe you can and you're halfway there." Hi! My name is Ashley Barber-Brown, and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist, Associate in North Carolina. As your therapist I want you to get the care you deserve and I believe the best experience is life's many lessons that we live and struggle through daily. As your therapist you will be welcomed and accepted as you are. Your story is your story. You will be offered a safe haven, a place of peace, and a judgement free zone where it is completely okay, to not be okay.
I view clients as whole people in the context of their lives. You are more than just a diagnosis. It's important to me to collaborate in setting goals, selecting an approach to therapy, and checking in along the way. I've worked with people from a broad range of backgrounds on anxiety, stress, relationships, life transitions, and LGBTQ+ issues.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Charlotte
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Charlotte starts with identity-affirming care. Look for a therapist who clearly names experience with LGBTQIA+ people, gender-diverse clients, affirmative therapy, WPATH training, or related support in their profile. This can matter when you want care connected to identity, relationships, family stress, anxiety, depression, or life transitions. A strong match will list specialties and training that reflect your needs, not just a broad note about being welcoming.
Charlotte has many therapists across neighborhoods like Uptown, South End, NoDa, Plaza Midwood, and nearby areas, which can make it hard to narrow your options. In-person sessions may work well if you want an office close to home, work, or transit. Virtual appointments can expand access to LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists beyond your immediate neighborhood. As you compare options, review availability, therapeutic approach, therapist background, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Bios can help you see how a therapist describes their style, experience, and work with LGBTQIA+ clients before you book.
Therapy in Charlotte can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who may accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and show estimated out-of-pocket costs before your first session. You can browse LGBTQIA+ therapists, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
