“My professional background as a Registered Dietitian led me to recognize my strengths as a social scientist, with a deeper passion for listening, understanding, and counseling others. I graduated from Drexel University in my hometown of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I went on to become dually licensed as both a Registered Dietitian and a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor after completing a two-year internship.”
I am a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist specializing in co‐occurring disorders. I provides evidence‐based care for individual, family, and group psychotherapy.
When you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or exhausted from carrying everything on your own, it can be difficult to know where to start. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, substance use, and other life challenges who are seeking meaningful, lasting change and a greater sense of balance and well-being.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide virtual therapy for adults throughout North Carolina via Telehealth, offering a supportive space where you can explore what’s weighing on you, build on your strengths, and work toward the life you want to create. You don’t have to navigate all of this on your own. If you’re ready for support and a space to feel heard, I’m here to help you take the next step.
My name is Ragine George, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in North Carolina. I work with adults who are ready to make a real change. I take an integrative approach to therapy, drawing on cognitive-behavioral techniques, exposure-based methods, and trauma-informed care. My goal is to help you build practical skills you can use between sessions. Therapy should feel productive. Each session, I want you to leave with something concrete: a new way of thinking about a problem, a tool to manage a difficult moment, or a clearer sense of what you are working toward. My background includes both outpatient counseling and crisis work, which has given me a broad clinical foundation. I am comfortable sitting with difficult emotions and helping clients move through them at their own pace. At the same time, I stay goal-oriented. I work best with clients who want both structure and compassion. I specialize in depression, anxiety, self-esteem, family concerns and panic disorders. I use exposure therapy with clients whose anxiety has taken over their daily life, and I bring a culturally informed lens to every session. I offer telehealth sessions exclusively, which means you can access care from wherever you are in North Carolina. Whether you have been managing something for years or a situation recently became overwhelming, I want to help you find a path forward. I look forward to seeing if we are a good fit.
Hello! My name is Cierra Alsobrooks, it’s great to meet you! I am a UNCW & NCSU alumni & have been providing therapy services for 5 years, primarily working with college aged individuals for concerns of anxiety, depression, stress management, adjustment, trauma, disordered eating, and OCD.
I help to create a safe, collaborative space where you will feel seen, not judged. Our relationship is one where you can let your guard down and show up as your full self. It is my goal to use a warm and compassionate relationship to walk alongside you, offering reflection, compassion, and challenge when needed to help you reach your goals.
I am a North Carolina native and graduated from Winthrop University with my Master's degree in 2015. I enjoy working with a range of clients who are motivated and ready to make changes in order to improve their quality of life. I will work with you to identify and achieve your goals. I place great emphasis on the therapeutic relationship so you feel comfortable during every session, no matter how uncomfortable to topic may be.
Whether this is your first time looking for a therapist or a "last ditch effort" to get help, I believe I can support you. When you are working with me, and yes, therapy is work, it is my hope that you will feel warmth, genuineness, and judgment-free compassion from me. Just the concept of feeling heard can be quite powerful in itself. I am trained in a number of therapeutic approaches but I do not believe in a cookie-cutter approach to clients, and will tailor my interventions to your needs.
