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.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Charlotte

Finding the right LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist in Charlotte starts with identifying what kind of support you're looking for. Whether you're navigating questions about gender identity, processing experiences related to your sexual orientation, or seeking help with anxiety, depression, or relationship concerns, look for a licensed provider who has specific experience with LGBTQIA+ mental health. Charlotte has a growing community of affirming providers, and reading a provider's bio can help you understand their background, approach, and whether they're a good match before you reach out.

Therapy in Charlotte can be expensive without insurance. One of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs is to see a provider who is in-network with your plan. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an LGBTQIA+-affirming therapist who fits both your needs and your budget.

If you're unsure where to start, a free phone consultation can help. Many providers on Headway offer an introductory call so you can ask questions, share what you're looking for, and see if the provider feels like the right fit — with no charge unless you decide to continue care.
