You may be feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, especially if you’ve experienced trauma, toxic relationships, or emotional pain that keeps resurfacing. It can feel overwhelming trying to move forward while still carrying the weight of the past. You don’t have to do this alone. I provide a supportive space where you can begin to understand your story, break free from old patterns, and move toward a more peaceful, meaningful, and purpose-driven life.

You don’t have to stay stuck in survival mode. Let's rebuild from the inside out! As a therapist, I work with men, teens, and couples who are tired of carrying pain alone — the kind that doesn’t always show on the outside. Whether it’s the weight of anxiety, depression, trauma, or the pressure to keep everything together, I help clients slow down, make sense of what’s happening inside, and start building a life that feels calmer, stronger, and more intentiona

Therapist

Virtual • Candler, NC


I believe everyone deserves to experience the joy and peace that comes from healing. If you're feeling stuck in darkness, weighed down by past experiences, or caught in negative thought patterns, you're not alone—and you don't have to navigate it by yourself.

For more than 34 years, I've helped individuals, primarily women, heal from trauma, build self-esteem, and create meaningful, lasting change. I have advanced training in EMDR and specialize in helping clients process traumatic experiences so they can move forward with greater confidence and emotional freedom.

My approach is holistic, recognizing the connection between your mind, body, and emotions. Together, we'll create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to reach your therapy goals. My hope is to help you move beyond simply surviving so you can fully experience the joy, fulfillment, and life you deserve.

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


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.

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I know how hard it is to learn to talk about difficult things. That made me want to help others learn to do the same. I started by volunteering at rape crisis and domestic violence shelters. When I was at these places I did outreach in the community and ran support groups for both. For a time, I took rape crisis hospital calls to support people who had come in for sexual assault exams. This work that taught me to be comfortable talking about anything, at any time, with anyone. I have worked with all types of individuals from ages 12 and up. My first Masters was an intensive dive into Human Rights. My second Masters was in Counseling so I could work with individuals to help them beyond the crisis moments. My passion is to help people progress towards healing.

Happy patient looking away

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.
