LGBT therapists in Fayetteville, NC

Before I became a therapist, I spent years in the classroom as a 9th grade English teacher and school social worker, as well as in nonprofit, learning how people grow through story, creativity, and being truly seen. That background, along with a lifelong love of dance, writing, and music, shapes how I practice as an LCSW today. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, relationships, stress, and identity, and I bring the same warmth and directness I developed in education to every session. If you are looking for a therapist who will be both a steady presence and an honest thinking partner, I would love to connect.

My name is Elizabeth Yopp and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience working with children 12 and above, as well as adults of all ages. I'm open-minded and non judgmental, with a patient, flexible and easygoing nature. I value empathy and compassion, have a good sense of humor and pride myself on being an attentive, active listener. I enjoy helping individuals navigate life challenges, such as adjustment issues, depression, anxiety, grief and occupational or relationship difficulties, so they can move forward in a positive direction.

I believe that healthy relationships are at the heart of emotional well-being and personal growth. Seeking support takes courage, and I am honored to partner with clients as they navigate life's challenges and strengthen their connections with themselves and others.

As a counselor educator, researcher, and relationship specialist, my work focuses on helping individuals and couples build stronger, more fulfilling relationships, improve communication, and create lasting positive change. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices that support healing, resilience, and relational wellness.

My ideal clients are thoughtful, anxious, highly-sensitive, tender-hearted, (and maybe a little weird) humans who have spent years navigating anxiety, identity, trauma, and the tangled gravity of family, culture, or religion. They come in feeling hypervigilant, burnt out, disconnected from their bodies, or unable to fully rest, even after building a life that fits better. You may be looking for ease, connection, and space to exist without bracing for impact. I offer a grounded, collaborative space to untangle the past, soften survival mode, and help you move toward sleep, ease, embodiment, and a life that feels more like home.

A little about me, your groovy new therapist:

I am originally from High Point, NC and studied English Language and Literature as well as Pedagogy and the Mind as an undergraduate at East Carolina University. I went on to work for East Carolina University full time while also completing my Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. At the end of my graduate career, I studied abroad in Spain and Portugal and subsequently moved back to High Point, North Carolina. I now live in the Triad area practicing as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist, and National Certified Counselor. In my free time, I love to spend time with my husband, Shanon, our tortie cat, Sacred Jewel, and our silly weenie dog, Huckleberry. I like to draw, paint, collage, and write in journals. I also like philosophical books, comedy, unique cinema, spooky & self-help podcasts, crafting, and occasional gaming. I'm always down for a deep conversation about the universe, nostalgia, eclectic music, a good laugh, and some introspection. I can't wait to hear your story.

Hey — I'm genuinely glad you're here. I'm Tamika, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor based in North Carolina. I work with adults, children, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, family conflict, addiction, and the kind of stress that builds quietly over time until it's hard to ignore. I specialize in working with Black and BIPOC clients, women, and families who want a therapist who truly gets the cultural and personal context of their lives — not just a clinical checklist. My practice is fully telehealth, so you can access support from anywhere in North Carolina without the commute or the waiting room. I accept Aetna, Cigna, Carelon Behavioral Health, and other major insurance plans, because access to quality mental health care shouldn't be a financial obstacle.

Her background includes work in behavioral health, dementia care, palliative care, and medical social work across hospital, hospice, and community settings.

I’m a Raleigh-based licensed clinical mental health therapist offering services across North Carolina. I work with adolescents and young adults and specialize in anxiety management, emotional resilience, and relationship building.

I earned my BSN from Duke University in 2014, my Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) degree from Gonzaga University in 2017, and my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) degree from Johns Hopkins University in 2020. I also completed a Plant-Based Nutrition certification through Cornell University. My background spans both community and mental health care, including experience at a large community health center in Washington, DC, where I worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds and life circumstances. My foundation in family medicine has given me extensive experience caring for people with co-occurring mental health and complex medical conditions. I also have significant experience supporting individuals who have experienced trauma and strive to provide compassionate, whole-person care that meets each patient's unique needs.

I am a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), which allows me to care for both mental and physical health in a more integrated way. I work with individuals across the lifespan and support a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, psychotic symptoms, ADHD, trauma-related symptoms, and stress-related challenges.

My background in both psychiatry and primary care helps me understand how closely mental health is connected to physical health, lifestyle, and overall well-being. I strive to provide care that is thoughtful, personalized, and rooted in evidence-based practice.
