I am Theresa Abbah, a board-certified Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in Smithfield, North Carolina, with over 27 years of experience in nursing and mental health care. My professional journey has been deeply rooted in psychiatry, where I have developed a broad and comprehensive clinical skill set focused on delivering compassionate, patient-centered care.
I spent more than 15 years working as a psychiatric nurse in an inpatient state mental health facility, which provided a strong foundation in managing complex mental health conditions. I am proud to have been one of the pioneers involved in establishing Youth Behavioral Health services, helping guide its successful accreditation and commitment to maintaining high standards of care.
As a Nurse Practitioner, I have advanced my practice working in both youth and adult inpatient behavioral health settings, including roles with UNC Youth Behavioral Health Hospital in Butner and UNC Johnston Health. I specialize in diagnosing and managing a wide range of mental health disorders, conducting crisis assessments, and providing timely referrals for individuals of all ages experiencing psychiatric, substance use, neurocognitive, or developmental challenges.
In 2018, I independently developed an alternative psychotherapy-based psychosocial treatment program to support patients in crisis at UNC Wakebrook, reflecting my commitment to innovation in mental health care.
I bring a positive attitude, creativity, and a high level of dedication to my work, consistently striving to deliver evidence-based care to patients and their families. My clinical strengths include psychopharmacology, psychotherapy, crisis stabilization, maintenance treatment and leadership, all of which guide my mission to improve mental health outcomes and support individuals on their path to recovery.
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.
I work with motivated individuals seeking relief from chronic pain as well as reduced stress and anxiety in their personal lives or at work. Chronic pain conditions that I treat include but are not limited to neck and back pain, headaches, pelvic pain, IBS, tinnitus, and fibromyalgia.
My approach is very goal and solution-oriented.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Charlotte
Searching for OCD therapists in Charlotte starts with finding a therapist trained in OCD care, especially exposure and response prevention, often called ERP. ERP is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people with OCD, and therapists may need specific training to provide this type of care. A qualified healthcare professional can help determine what approach may be appropriate. If you are looking for support with intrusive thoughts, compulsive checking, contamination fears, reassurance seeking, or anxiety related to OCD, read therapist bios for direct mentions of ERP, OCD, anxiety, and related specialties.
Charlotte has many therapy options across neighborhoods like Uptown, South End, NoDa, and surrounding areas, which can make it hard to compare fit. For OCD, there is a meaningful difference between a therapist who lists OCD as one area of familiarity and a therapist who names ERP or focused OCD training in their profile. You may also want to compare appointment availability, virtual or in-person options, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their approach, session style, and experience before you book.
Therapy in Charlotte can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find OCD therapists who accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and match your preferences for location, appointment format, and specialty. You can enter your insurance information to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, then browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
