Top couples therapists in Fayetteville, NC
Navigate relationship challenges with experienced couples therapists in Fayetteville through Headway's platform. Our providers specialize in communication skills, conflict resolution, and strengthening emotional intimacy, with many offering free consultations and availability within two weeks.
I earned my Master of Social Work from UNC–Chapel Hill in 1999 and have more than 25 years of experience helping adults and families navigate emotional distress, relationship difficulties, and major life challenges. My background includes work as a psychotherapist and child welfare social worker.
I bring experience, steadiness, and genuine curiosity to my work. I am interested not only in what people are struggling with, but in how they came to experience themselves and their lives in the ways they do.
Through Headway, I provide insurance-based therapy to individual adults only. I do not see couples through insurance.
As a clinician, I enjoy working with everyone in all phases of life helping in building self-esteem, managing addiction, trauma, self-discovery, medication management, anger management, re-establishing one's dreams/purpose, building/strengthening relationships one has with self, partners or family systems.
I have worked with foster children, young adults, primary care staff and patients, those who struggled with substance abuse in a methadone clinic, provided supervision to non-licensed social workers in the hospital.
I welcome the opportunity to meet with you for a consultation to see if working together would be a great match like a grilled cheese or peanut butter sandwich.
Best of luck on your journey to health and wellness.
My passion is working with people and helping them to be the best they can be. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina and a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina with 24+ years of therapeutic experience. My experience started in Mental Health Clinics, but I have been working in private practice for over 15 years. I help people with a variety of concerns to include stress, anxiety, coping with grief and loss, parenting issues, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.
I have been practicing as a therapist for 8 years and believe that therapy should be both meaningful and practical providing a space to better understand yourself while developing tools that can make a difference in your everyday life. My experience includes working with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and the challenges that often come with demanding roles and responsibilities. I have also worked closely with first responders and provide clinical supervision and support to other therapists.
My approach is integrative and tailored to the individual rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model. Depending on your needs, I may incorporate EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion-Focused Therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and trauma-informed care.
Stress management is a particular area of interest in my practice. I enjoy creating guided meditation and mindfulness experiences tailored to what a client is experiencing. I also welcome opportunities to incorporate your interests, strengths, and the things that genuinely matter to you into our work together.
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.
Since 2010, Susan Chung has been working in the field of mental health and have provided counseling services for seniors, children, adolescents and adults and seen several hundred cases. Ms. Chung’s expertise is working with individual children, adolescents, adults, and families. Ms. Chung has received her Master of Social Work degree in 2014 at New York University. Besides holding a MSW degree, MS. Chung has received her Master of Public Health (MPH) degree from University of Southern California in 2009.
Currently, Ms. Chung holds a Licensed Clinical Social Work (LCSW) in New York, New Jersey, and North Carolina states, have several years of supervision experience, and am fluent in Mandarin, Taiwanese, and English.
I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, and women’s issues, including maternal mental health and postpartum concerns. I know how overwhelming it can feel when you’re carrying too much or no longer feel like yourself. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, better understand what you’re experiencing, and begin making meaningful changes at a pace that feels right for you.
I believe everyone deserves to experience the joy and peace that comes from healing. If you're feeling stuck in darkness, weighed down by past experiences, or caught in negative thought patterns, you're not alone—and you don't have to navigate it by yourself.
For more than 34 years, I've helped individuals, primarily women, heal from trauma, build self-esteem, and create meaningful, lasting change. I have advanced training in EMDR and specialize in helping clients process traumatic experiences so they can move forward with greater confidence and emotional freedom.
My approach is holistic, recognizing the connection between your mind, body, and emotions. Together, we'll create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to reach your therapy goals. My hope is to help you move beyond simply surviving so you can fully experience the joy, fulfillment, and life you deserve.
If you're carrying anxiety, grief, past trauma, or a complicated relationship with substances, and you're not sure where to start, you've found the right place. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors through depression, family conflict, PTSD, domestic violence, and stress that never seems to let up. My path into counseling started in Wayne County schools, working with young people who needed someone genuinely in their corner. That experience planted something I've carried through every role since: people don't need to have it figured out before they ask for help. I went on to work in higher education and community mental health, and I'm especially committed to clients who haven't always felt welcomed or seen in traditional mental health spaces.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right couples therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Fayetteville
Finding couples therapists in Fayetteville starts with understanding what you and your partner want to work on together. Couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, or parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific couples training, so it helps to look for licensed marriage and family therapists or therapists who list approaches like the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy in their profiles. If you’re comparing couples counseling in Fayetteville, NC, and Fayetteville marriage counseling options, those training details can help you narrow your search.
In a mid-sized city like Fayetteville, finding one therapist who fits both partners’ schedules, preferences, and location can take some planning. You may want an in-person office near your home, work, or commute, or a virtual appointment that gives both partners more schedule flexibility. As you review marriage counselors in Fayetteville, NC, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new clients, and whether they offer a brief initial consultation. Reading therapist bios can also show how they structure sessions, how they describe their communication style, and whether they work with the concerns you want to address.
Couples therapy in Fayetteville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you search for therapists who offer couples therapy and are accepting new clients, and nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans that you can check for your specific coverage. You can enter your insurance details, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, compare therapist profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
