Saida Markovic

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I am a bilingual (English/Spanish) Clinical Mental Health Therapist dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based, and trauma-informed care in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Cleveland State University and my Master of Science in Social Administration from Case Western Reserve University. I also completed a Trauma Certification at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) and have training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), an evidence-based treatment for trauma. My additional professional training includes Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) and parenting skills.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families from diverse cultural and socioeconomic backgrounds. My areas of focus include trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, stress management, and emotional regulation. As a bilingual therapist, I am committed to providing culturally responsive care to both English- and Spanish-speaking individuals.

My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and tailored to each client's unique needs. I believe healing begins with a trusting therapeutic relationship where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. I integrate trauma-informed care, TF-CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and person-centered techniques to help clients build resilience, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change.

My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths, restore balance, and move toward a more fulfilling and authentic life.

Jennifer Hobbs

Therapist

Virtual • Durham, NC


I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families, and more than 20 years of experience supporting youth and families across home, school, and community settings.

I work with individuals and families navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, emotional and behavioral concerns, trauma, school-related stress, life transitions, family conflict, and concerns related to safety and emotional well-being.

My approach to counseling is practical, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care. I believe meaningful change happens when individuals and families feel supported while also developing tools, insight, and healthy patterns that promote long-term growth.

When working with children and teens, I value partnering with parents and caregivers as an important part of the process, and not to be pushed aside during the treatment process of any minor.

Whether you are seeking support for yourself, your child, or your family, my goal is to provide a thoughtful, supportive space where meaningful progress can take place.

I’m Caleb Evington, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing telehealth therapy to adults across North Carolina. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill after completing my undergraduate degree at Appalachian State University. My professional background includes trauma-focused care and psychosocial oncology, where I have supported individuals and couples through complex emotional, relational, and health-related transitions. I also co-founded a specialized relationship and sex therapy clinic within an academic cancer center and am completing advanced training toward certification through AASECT.

In private practice, I specialize in sex and relationship therapy, anxiety, trauma, identity, life transitions, and patterns that interfere with connection, pleasure, or emotional well-being. I provide LGBTQ+-affirming, sex-positive, kink-aware, and consensual nonmonogamy-affirming care. I often work with thoughtful, self-aware adults who understand a great deal intellectually but still feel stuck in patterns they cannot simply think their way out of.
