Hi, I’m Destiny. I'm a licensed psychotherapist who believes therapy should feel like a conversation with someone who truly understands you. I work with adults who are feeling anxious, depressed, disconnected, overwhelmed in relationships, have experienced trauma or just don't feel like themselves lately. I use evidence-based approaches to help you untangle what’s weighing you down and reconnect with your happiest, empowered self. If you're ready for therapy that’s both supportive and real, I’d love to meet you.

Hey I'm Jamie! I graduated in 2010 from the University of Georgia School of Social Work, and worked in hospice care, a nursing home, and with children and families in community mental health before private practice. I want to help anyone who is struggling, even if they are not an "ideal client". I believe every human has strengths and is a multifaceted being. I have a special place in my heart for neurodivergent individuals as well as members of the LGBTQIA+ community. <3

Therapist

Thanks for stopping by. I believe healing doesn’t have to feel overwhelming or out of reach. If anxiety, depression, trauma, identity stress, or patterns in relationships have left you feeling stuck or exhausted, you’re not alone. Many people seek support when everyday life or past experiences feel heavy, when communication with loved ones breaks down, or when coping feels more reactive than intentional. I work with teens and adults across differences in culture, identity, and life experiences to help you find steadier ground and more meaningful connection in your relationships and your sense of self.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you

Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Fayetteville

Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Fayetteville starts with identity-affirming care. This can mean looking for a therapist with experience in affirmative therapy, gender-diverse care, WPATH-informed training, or work with LGBTQIA+ communities. You may also want support with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, identity, or family dynamics. Reading a therapist’s listed specialties and approach can help you find someone whose training matches what you want to address.

Fayetteville has a meaningful mental health care community, though affirming therapists may be more limited than in larger North Carolina cities. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still helping you find care that fits your schedule, preferences, and insurance. As you compare therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they explicitly mention LGBTQIA+ populations in their bio. A bio can also show how a therapist describes their communication style, session structure, and approach to care.

Therapy in Fayetteville can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before booking. Headway helps you find therapists who match your needs, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer upfront cost estimates after your coverage is verified. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
