Christina Miller

Christina Miller

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I’m Christina, a warm, down-to-earth therapist who genuinely enjoys getting to know people and understanding what makes them who they are.

I’ve spent more than 15 years working with people in schools, hospitals, community mental health, crisis intervention, and trauma-focused settings. Along the way, I’ve supported veterans, first responders, trauma and abuse survivors, parents, professionals, adolescents, and neurodivergent individuals.

My path into therapy has given me the opportunity to sit with people during some incredibly difficult moments. It has taught me that there is almost always more to someone than what we see on the surface - and that life rarely fits neatly into categories.

I’m interested in the whole picture: your experiences, relationships, strengths, struggles, sense of humor, values, and the things you may not always understand about yourself.

I also believe therapy can be both meaningful and human. There will be serious conversations, but there can also be laughter, honesty, and those moments when something finally clicks.

You don’t have to have an impressive story or a perfect explanation for why you’re here. We can start with wherever life has you right now.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Pittsboro, NC


Hello, want to work together on a path to Clarity in 2026? I provide ADHD Support in North Carolina through telehealth or in-person visits at our Pittsboro office in the Chatham Wellness Collective. (South of Chapel Hill)

A Streamlined Approach to ADHD Care. Navigating the ADHD assessment and treatment process can be frustrating and expensive. Many individuals face delays, expensive testing fees, and additional requirements, such as a psychological evaluation and/or a doctor’s note or EKG, just to receive care. Others are seen by telehealth only providers who can't prescribe stimulants and who tell you one has to start off on Wellbutrin or Strattera (non stimulants). That is terrible care. At our clinic, we prioritize efficiency and accessibility.

We believe in low doses of medication and finding your perfect dose to balance attention with mood. Most of our ADHD patients are on low dosing.

My approach to treatment is collaborative, forward-thinking, and tailored to your unique needs. I strive to create a warm, inviting atmosphere where you can feel comfortable discussing your challenges.

State Employees- Headway is part of a program that makes most visit have only a $10 copay.

Billing transparancy- Most new patient visits are billed a 99204 or 99205 and most follow-ups are 99214's. I do NOT bill therapy add on codes to new patient visits. Sometimes Headway will estimate your visit with a therapy code ad on and this makes it $300+. New visits are never more that $175. I sometimes bill add on therapy codes to follow ups (90833) IF its part of treatment plan. I won't surprise you. Please ask any provider you pick if they use add on codes- you deserve to know.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Gastonia

Searching for therapists in Gastonia starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapists can help with concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, and major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match what you want to address. A profile that mentions approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy can help you understand how that therapist may work with you.

In a smaller city like Gastonia, local appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in North Carolina. Some people prefer an office visit near central Gastonia, Crowders Mountain, or nearby communities, while others choose virtual sessions that fit around work, school, or caregiving. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for availability, session format, communication style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Gastonia 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 your first appointment. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and show an estimated cost before you book. You can compare therapists, read profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
