Janna Williams

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I'm Janna Williams, and my path to becoming a therapist is anything but traditional — and I think that's exactly what makes me effective. After 30 years with the State of North Carolina, I retired and did what most people wouldn't: I started over. I became a mobile crisis team responder, showed up for people in their hardest moments, and discovered exactly where I was meant to be. I hold a degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Sociology from UNC Charlotte (Go Niners! 🤘) and earned my Master of Social Work from UNC Pembroke in 2022 (Go Braves! 🏹). My background spans the judicial system, child welfare, substance use, crisis intervention, and suicide prevention — which means I've seen a lot, and very little surprises or intimidates me. I'm here with you at Greater Vision Counseling Services, Southern Pines, and I am genuinely honored to be part of your story.

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Are you questioning your relationship with substances or other behaviors, and want to make changes?

Is your child engaging in substance use or other risky/addictive behaviors, and you want to artfully guide them towards healthier decisions, or they’re interested in shifting their use?

Would you like support with creating family screen guidelines that keep your kids healthy, safe, and responsible, while reducing battles over it all?

Are you disconnected from your adolescent and eager for "teen whispering" skills to improve your relationship?

Then I’ve got you!

In the middle of college, at 19, I found myself in rehab, struggling with multiple addictions. This rerouted me from my dreams of Broadway to sparking a 30+ year career in the fields of prevention, early intervention and treatment of substance use disorders and other addictions. I have worked in inpatient and outpatient substance use treatment with adolescents and adults, in therapeutic schools, as a middle and high school counselor, and as a parenting coach.

I’m licensed as a Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Internationally Certified Advanced Alcohol & Drug Counselor, Prevention Specialist, and certified in Digital Health & Wellness. It's also important you know that my own family and close social circle are diverse humans, and I'm comfortable and specially trained to work with LGBTQ+, racial, cultural and religious diversity.

Tina Spach

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.

Hello, and welcome!

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with more than 10 years of nursing experience, including 4 years dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to children, adolescents, and adults. I have also been practicing as a nurse practitioner for more than 2 years.

I founded Root & Mind Psychiatric Services, PLLC because I believe mental health care should be individualized, compassionate, and never feel rushed. Every client is unique, and I wanted to create a practice where I have the flexibility to take the time needed to truly listen, understand each person’s needs, and provide thoughtful, quality care.

At Root & Mind, I strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and comfortable being themselves. My goal is to provide knowledgeable, evidence-based care while building a genuine connection with each person I have the privilege of serving.

Catalina Valencia

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Hampstead, NC


I am a dual board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Certified Nurse Midwife, with graduate education from Duke University and East Carolina University.

I am passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care and have a special interest in supporting women across the lifespan, as well as veterans, military spouses, and children navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and life's many transitions.

My connection to the military community is both professional and deeply personal. In addition to my clinical training, I have spent more than 20 years as part of a military family. This experience has given me firsthand insight into the unique sacrifices, resilience, and often unseen challenges faced by service members and their loved ones. It has strengthened my commitment to providing care that is empathetic, respectful, and grounded in an understanding of military life.

For the past 12 years as a Certified Nurse Midwife, I have had the privilege of caring for women throughout every stage of life, supporting not only their physical health but also their emotional and mental well-being. It has been an honor to walk alongside women during some of their most meaningful and vulnerable moments, and I am grateful to continue that work by helping individuals achieve greater mental wellness and resilience.
