Charles Orwig
Therapist
Virtual & in-person • 4.7 mi away
715 Fairgrove Church Road Southeast, Conover, NCMy name is Charles, and I focus on Couples Counseling, and helping individuals, and couples heal from betrayal, infidelity, porn, and sex addiction. I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable being yourself. I'm a Navy veteran, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and someone who genuinely enjoys helping people navigate life's challenges. My style is down-to-earth, compassionate, and straightforward. I bring warmth, humor when appropriate, and honest conversations into our sessions.
I'm not the type of therapist who simply sits back and listens without engaging. I'll ask questions, offer feedback, challenge you when needed, and celebrate your progress along the way. I believe in meeting people where they are, without judgment, while helping them move toward where they want to be. Above all, I want you to feel that you're working with a real person who genuinely cares about you and your growth.
Are you struggling with broken trust, disconnection, repeated conflict, or the impact of secrecy and betrayal? Healing is possible. Together, we can work toward understanding what happened, rebuilding emotional safety and trust, strengthening connection, and creating a healthier relationship and more meaningful life.

Counseling is a place of acceptance where you can learn to see your true value. You hold the keys to your happiness. You just need support to unlock that door. Doing it alone will keep you stuck. You can learn to trust again. I received specialized training in Marriage and Family Therapy. I am also a Registered Play Therapist and enhance parent-child communication. I have an office where I see individuals and families. I also have two large rooms where I teach parents how to use Play Therapy Skills.

Hi there, I’m Nimrode Aridou. After seven intense years as an emergency room psychiatric nurse, I built this practice to provide fast, judgment-free mental healthcare that truly fits your busy life. I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, and clear ADHD testing—and starting at the end of November 2026, I am thrilled to expand our services to offer Spravato (esketamine) treatments right here in our office for treatment-resistant depression. You don't need to have everything figured out before we talk; just show up exactly as you are, and let’s work together to get you feeling like yourself again!

I have been in private practice for 20 years with my specialty focusing on individuals resolving historic traumas and women balancing all of the complications of womanhood in a fast paced, demanding world. My style is informed from my diverse experience. I have worked in adolescent residential treatment, FBI consulting, an expert witness and a graduate school professorship; all the while working with my private practice clients. In the last several years, I have been sought out as a corporate consultant and speaker to discuss how our negative experiences and traumas shape our behaviors as high intensity professionals.
The untapped magnificence I see in my clients never ceases to inspire and amaze me. Anyone who is willing to do hard work is already a gift to this World! I've grown bored of many things in my life but this work....never!

Frequently asked questions


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 Hickory
Searching for therapists in Hickory starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Therapists and counselors in Hickory, NC may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or couples therapy. Provider bios can help you understand each therapist’s style, focus areas, and what sessions may be like.
In a smaller city like Hickory, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger North Carolina markets. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still keeping care with a therapist licensed in North Carolina. You may also want to consider appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare practical fit, including communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns that matter to you.
Therapy in Hickory can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make mental health care more affordable. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, estimate your out-of-pocket cost before booking, and schedule directly when you’re ready. You can browse therapists in Hickory, review bios, and choose someone who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and is accepting new patients.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
