Therapist

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.

Hi, I’m Christina. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps teens, families, and adults navigate anxiety, trauma, and life’s high-stress seasons.

Therapy with me is conversational, compassionate, and grounded. We’ll take time to understand what you’ve been carrying, where patterns may be keeping you stuck, and what you need to feel steadier and more connected. Sometimes that includes learning tools to manage anxiety day-to-day, and other times it means slowing down enough to process deeper and sometimes uncomfortable experiences. There will be moments when I challenge you, but I am right beside you throughout the journey.

Hi, I'm Dr. Arthur Chen, a licensed psychologist in Boca Raton and a Clinical Director. My passion is helping you navigate challenges and build lasting well-being through evidence-based strategies, genuine empathy, and active collaboration.

I specialize in Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, eating disorder recovery, and substance abuse recovery. Our practice, where I'm Clinical Director, also handles severe issues like bipolar disorder and psychosis.

My style is active, empathetic, and results-oriented. I don't just listen; I provide direct feedback and insightful questions to deepen your self-awareness.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Charlotte, NC

Searching for therapists in Charlotte starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Charlotte has therapists across neighborhoods like Uptown, South End, NoDa, Plaza Midwood, and nearby areas, with experience in concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and details about who they typically work with. A therapist’s bio can help you understand their style, what sessions may look like, and whether their experience fits your needs.

In a large metro area like Charlotte, having many options can make the search feel harder to sort through. It helps to narrow by practical fit first: appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, in-person or virtual session format, and location if you prefer an office near work, home, or transit. Some people prefer meeting in a physical office, while others choose virtual sessions for scheduling flexibility. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for details about communication style, session structure, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Charlotte can be expensive without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who take insurance, confirm your benefits, and see an estimated cost before you book. You can filter by preferences, compare therapist profiles, and choose virtual or in-person care, making it easier to find someone who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and is ready to take new patients.
