Mary Whalen

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and work with adults who want a supportive, reflective space to better understand themselves and navigate life’s challenges. I support clients experiencing anxiety, chronic stress, relationship difficulties, burnout, parenting challenges, and major life transitions.

I also bring extensive experience working with children and teens which provides a valuable perspective in my work with adults who are parents. I enjoy working with parents who want to better understand their children, strengthen connection and feel more confident navigating the often complicated demands of parenting.

I offer teletherapy to adults located in North Carolina.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Belmont, NC


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!

Michelle Bell

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment where clients can show up as their authentic selves. My approach is compassionate, direct when needed, and focused on helping clients build practical tools for everyday life while also exploring deeper emotional patterns and experiences.

I enjoy working with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, stress, identity exploration, and emotional overwhelm. I am passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients and creating an affirming therapeutic space where clients feel respected and understood.

I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to meet clients where they are while helping them move toward healing, clarity, and meaningful growth.
