Welcome! I’m Ashley, and I’m passionate about supporting clients on their journey toward healing and growth. I have over nine years of clinical experience working with children, teens, adults, and families. I specialize in trauma-informed care as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). My background includes a Master’s in School Counseling where I gained internship experience in both elementary and high school settings. I support individuals navigating concerns such as anxiety, depression, OCD, relationship challenges, trauma, grief/loss, and women’s issues. While I have worked with clients of all backgrounds, I do also offer Christian counseling, if requested, for those who wish to incorporate faith into the therapeutic process.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Addiction Specialist — and this work is not just my profession, it is my calling. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating substance and behavioral addictions, and I also hold space for something that often goes unaddressed: the family members of addicted loved ones, who carry their own profound pain and deserve their own healing. I am trained in EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Relapse Prevention, and Self-Compassion practices. But beyond the credentials, here is what I want you to know about me: I believe that therapy is about walking beside you — not directing you, not fixing you — with the quiet understanding that we are all, in our own way, walking one another home. That belief shapes everything about how I show up for my clients.
I'm Joellen Rhyndress, LCSW, and I specialize in working with veterans, first responders, and executives — and I genuinely love this work. I'm trained in EMDR and have spent years as a trauma expert, particularly around critical incidents and life-disrupting events. I've worked with over 250 clients and I understand your world, your culture, and what it takes to finally ask for help.
Shelby Champagne, owner of FTS Counseling and Consulting PLLC, is an LCSW licensed in NC and CT. With over 15 years of experience working with clients of all ages who are going through life transitions, a variety of mental health struggles, and life crises. Her goal is to empower you with the support and tools you need to live the life you desire.
Hello, I’m Ambrose Ukpebor, DNP, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience supporting individuals facing depression, anxiety, trauma, and other mental health challenges. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree and have worked extensively in crisis and community mental health settings, helping individuals stabilize and move toward recovery. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, focusing on personalized treatment plans that may include medication management and supportive strategies. My goal is to create a safe, respectful space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered in your mental health journey.
Life can leave us carrying experiences that feel too heavy to hold alone. Whether you’re facing the impact of trauma, struggling in relationships, navigating grief and loss, managing anger, or working through challenges related to substance use, therapy can offer a space to pause, reflect, and begin again. The healing is not a "one-size-fits-all" process; my goal is to utilize an evidence-based intervention that you feel really "clicks" with how you view life and approach problem-solving. Common interventions I utilize include: EMDR, CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-focused Brief Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Fayetteville, NC
Searching for therapists in Fayetteville starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Many people look for therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, or stress. As you compare Fayetteville therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties and training match what you want to address. A therapist’s bio can show whether they use approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or other methods that fit the care you want.
Fayetteville has a range of therapy options across areas like Haymount, Massey Hill, and Ramsey Street, while virtual therapy can add more flexibility if office locations or appointment times are limited. Some people prefer in-person sessions, while others choose virtual appointments that fit around work, school, or caregiving schedules. Before booking, check whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that work for you, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles can also help you understand a therapist’s communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns like yours.
Therapy in Fayetteville can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes that process easier by helping you find licensed therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and are ready to see new patients. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs, compare therapist bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
