Colleen Coombs

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I love working with people and helping them "grow" through the things of life that they "go" through. A quote that I love to share with clients and live by personally is to remember not to focus on your purpose but to live your life purposely. As a military social worker my background is specific to first responders, but most importantly individuals that are learning their new "normal" after traumatic life events that have unexpectedly shaped them.

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


As a clinician, I enjoy working with everyone in all phases of life helping in building self-esteem, managing addiction, trauma, self-discovery, medication management, anger management, re-establishing one's dreams/purpose, building/strengthening relationships one has with self, partners or family systems.

I have worked with foster children, young adults, primary care staff and patients, those who struggled with substance abuse in a methadone clinic, provided supervision to non-licensed social workers in the hospital.

I welcome the opportunity to meet with you for a consultation to see if working together would be a great match like a grilled cheese or peanut butter sandwich.

Best of luck on your journey to health and wellness.

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 Kernersville

Searching for therapists in Kernersville starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapists can help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, and work stress. If you are comparing therapy in Kernersville, NC, look for a therapist whose listed specialties match what you want to focus on. Bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or acceptance and commitment therapy.

Kernersville has local counseling private practice options, but nearby availability may be more limited than in larger North Carolina cities. Virtual appointments can expand your search while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in North Carolina. As you compare therapists, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading each profile can help you understand the therapist’s communication style, experience, and approach before you book.

Therapy in Kernersville can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer virtual or in-person care. You can browse profiles, review availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
