Therapy and the journey to self-exploration can be hard. Together, we can navigate your path toward improved mental health and emotional well-being. My approach is solution-focused, centered on the immediate obstacles you are facing. While how you got here matters, what you choose to do next can have an even greater impact. As a clinical social worker with experience across private practice, hospital social work, parenting education, and community care, I bring a broad range of experience to support us in working through challenges together.

Therapist

Virtual • Boone, NC


If you're ready to make change in your life, you've come to the right place! If you want to do therapy via Telehealth from the comfort of your home, we will be a great fit (just get ready for me to ask to meet your pets over the computer!) If you want to meet OUTDOORS for therapy, I'm your girl. My favorite therapy sessions are done in nature in the Boone, NC and surrounding areas - we can walk, hike, kayak, or even ski/snowboard during your therapy session! I believe the best therapy happens while moving your body in nature. I specialize in relationships, body-centered therapy, trauma-healing, women's issues, and goal-achievement.


I am a queer, cisgender female in my mid-30s (she/her pronouns.) I am diagnosed with depression, anxiety, substance use disorder, and ADHD. I understand addiction and mental health first-hand. Though I am a therapist, I see us as equals and partners. I have 5 years experience working in Community Mental Health with diagnoses from Depression to Schizophrenia.

I'm currently accepting clients across NC. Let's partner to make your life THRIVE! I will provide the help you need or link you to someone who can. Your first session with me will be free. We'll get to know one another through a relaxed conversation and see if we will make a good fit together. BCBS coming late Spring of 2022! Cigna, Aetna, Optum coming Dec!

Clarissa Adams

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up exactly as you are. Life can be challenging, especially when you're navigating change, feeling stuck, struggling with relationships, or questioning your next steps. My goal is to create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where you feel comfortable exploring these challenges and developing the tools needed to move forward.

I work with adolescents and adults experiencing anxiety, stress, self-esteem concerns, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I am particularly passionate about helping individuals who feel stuck between where they are and where they want to be. Whether you're adjusting to a new season of life, facing a difficult decision, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, therapy can provide a space to gain clarity, build confidence, and create meaningful change.

I view therapy as a collaborative process. You are the expert on your life, and I am here to provide guidance, support, and practical strategies to help you reach your goals.
