I believe therapy works best when there is a strong connection between therapist and client. My style is warm, genuine, and direct. I'll offer compassion and support, but I'll also help you recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck.

As a trauma-informed therapist and EMDR specialist, I create a space where you can be yourself without judgment. Clients often tell me they feel comfortable with me quickly because I show up as a real person—not just a therapist.

I believe healing happens through both insight and action. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and empowered to create meaningful change in your life.

Virtual • Cornelius, NC


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.

Therapist

Hi, I’m Liz! I help clients heal from past trauma and uncover the root of what’s keeping them feeling stuck. Trauma can shape the way you see yourself, others, and the world—often showing up as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or difficulty setting healthy boundaries.

My work focuses on addressing these deeper patterns to support lasting healing and meaningful personal growth. For those who desire it, I also offer the option to integrate Christian faith into the counseling process.

I believe therapy should not only be effective but also feel human and approachable. We’ll roll up our sleeves and do the work together, while also making space for moments of lightness along the way.

Tanya Shepherd

Therapist

Virtual • Charlotte, NC


I believe meaningful healing begins when individuals feel seen, heard, and understood. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, I bring over four years of clinical counseling experience, along with more than twenty-two years as a school psychologist, to support children, individuals, and families.

With more than two decades in education, I became deeply aware of how essential mental health support is for children and families. I witnessed firsthand how emotional challenges can affect learning, relationships, and overall well-being—and how transformative the right support can be.

These experiences led me to pursue a career in mental health counseling. Today, I partner with adults to help them build a strong, grounded foundation for themselves, one that naturally extends to their children and strengthens the family as a whole. I also remain committed to supporting teens as they enter adulthood, helping them develop the tools and confidence needed for lifelong well-being.

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.
