I'm a licensed psychologist with 19 years of experience providing counseling and guidance for people like you. I'm passionate about helping people know their true identity and worth. I love to help people gain hope and move forward from the painful situations or relationships that have led to them feeling "stuck" and believing lies about themselves.
I have a doctoral degree (PsyD) from Rosemead School of Psychology (2010). In addition to generalized training, I have training in grief, women's issues, adoption and infertility, divorce, and abuse recovery. I have done intensive training in ADHD assessment and treatment across the lifespan, and intensive training in Gottman Method Couples counseling.
Hi, I’m Rachel — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about supporting people as they navigate life’s complexities and transitions. My work centers on helping individuals explore identity, heal from trauma, and build more fulfilling relationships with themselves and others.
I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults, LGBTQIA+ clients, pregnant and postpartum people, and those from culturally diverse and immigrant backgrounds. Together, we can unpack the ways family dynamics, culture, and personal history shape your story — and create space for new, empowering narratives to emerge.
I believe healing happens best in spaces where you feel safe, understood, and never judged. I bring both curiosity and compassion to every session, and I genuinely love learning about the unique story that makes you you. I’m thoughtful, a little quirky in the best way, and always eager to grow... both as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner and as a person. That means I stay open-minded, ask meaningful questions, and work collaboratively with you to find what truly fits your needs. You’re the expert on your life; I’m here to support you with knowledge, guidance, and encouragement.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, or just feeling stuck, I want you to know that you don’t have to figure it out alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and empowered to move toward the life you want.
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with a background in school counseling and emotional wellness support for children, teens, and adults. I work with clients navigating anxiety, stress, ADHD, life transitions, identity development, and family or relationship challenges. I aim to create a space where clients feel safe, understood, and supported. I value collaboration and use an integrative approach to tailor therapy to each person's needs, strengths, and goals.
Hi, I’m Sheena Gaddis, LCSW, and I’m so glad you’re here. I earned my Master of Social Work from Fayetteville State University and have over 15 years of experience helping people navigate life’s challenges. I believe therapy should feel like a safe, welcoming space where you can be heard without judgment. I use approaches such as CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help you build coping skills, gain clarity, and create meaningful change at your own pace.
I am a warm and encouraging psychotherapist with over 15 years of experience in the field. I hold a Ph.D. in Counselor Education & Supervision and I’m licensed to practice in North & South Carolina. I’m known for having a compassionate and empathetic approach to therapy, creating a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients. In short, I believe that Jesus+Therapy=Healing!
We all need a safe place to be known and supported. For over 16 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals navigate trauma and abuse recovery, relationship wounds, and seasons of transition. I’m especially drawn to one-on-one counseling and the opportunity to offer a steady presence as clients make sense of their experiences, deepen self-understanding, and move toward greater healing and connection.
I’m an LCSW, and my practice name, Life Shift Happens, comes from a truth I see every single day: people don’t come to therapy because they’re broken. They come because life stopped unfolding the way they expected, and they feel entirely stuck. A lot of the humans I work with are incredibly thoughtful and trying so hard. They usually don't lack insight; they’ve read the coping skills and talked things through with friends. Yet, they still find themselves procrastinating, shutting down, or feeling completely frozen by past stuff. When that happens, change isn’t a matter of forcing more willpower. It requires slowing down to look at the patterns and defense mechanisms we build to protect ourselves when life gets heavy.
My style is collaborative, deeply conversational, and entirely human. I’m not here to judge, lecture, or pretend I have all the answers. Instead, I’m active in our sessions through asking questions, noticing patterns, and gently pushing back when I see you getting in your own way. We will work on the practical things like boundaries, follow-through, and managing emotions, while sitting with the messy overthinking, panic, burnout, or feeling checked out underneath it all. Therapy with me is a relationship where we make sense of the sudden crises and quiet paralyses that come with life shifts. The goal isn’t a perfect, flawless life, but rather a therapeutic space where you can figure out what changed, sprinkle in compassion, and learn how to move forward in a way that feels genuinely your own.

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Fayetteville
Searching for postpartum therapists in Fayetteville starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. A pregnancy therapist, prenatal therapist, or therapist for new moms may also list maternal mental health therapy or perinatal mental health as a focus area. As you compare options, look for experience with postpartum and prenatal concerns, and consider whether a therapist lists specialized training such as the perinatal mental health certification, also known as PMH-C.
In a mid-sized city like Fayetteville, your search may include therapists with local offices, virtual appointments, or both. Virtual care can make it easier to find a postpartum therapist who fits your schedule, especially when infant care, physical recovery, or changing routines affect when you can meet. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you see how each therapist describes their approach, communication style, and experience with prenatal and postpartum concerns.
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 you book. Headway helps you search for licensed therapists who focus on postpartum care, review profiles, verify insurance, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs upfront. From there, you can compare therapists, choose virtual or in-person care, and book directly when you’re ready.
