I believe healing happens through connection. I work collaboratively with clients, guiding them to understand the roots of their struggles, develop healthier coping skills, and build a life of balance and purpose. I bring authenticity, insight, and gentle honesty into my sessions.
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in the state of North Carolina. I have experience working with borderline personality disorder, depression, anxiety, trauma, LGBTQIA+ issues, chronic illness, and life transitions. I use a blend of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and solution-focused techniques to support your specific needs; whether that’s managing emotional intensity, reducing self-destructive patterns, or finding stability.
Healing may not be linear, and may even be a little messy, but it is possible- I invite you to reach out when you’re ready to take that next step.
I love to be a cheerleader for my clients, a pillar of their support system. Sometimes, this means I may have to call you on some stuff, but it's always coming from a place of support and values-alignment!
Since 2015, have gained a wide breadth of experience ranging from wilderness therapy to residential treatment centers, working with clients aged 13-72. Recently, I was a Clinical Director working with dual-diagnosed boys and young men. I am trained in a Gestlat Approach, Brainspotting, and Relapse Prevention.
I take a warm, empathetic, and direct approach to working my clients. I believe that people can be incredibly resilient when they put their minds to it. Together, we can tap into your potential to strengthen your competence and tackle your goals. I will fight for you to rid yourself of unhelpful patterns and narrow the gap to the life you desire.
Along with unconditional positive regard, Danielle utilizes modalities such as motivational interviewing (MI), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). She has her LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), LCAS (Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist), and is currently working on her RPT (Registered Play Therapy) Certification.
I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, and women’s issues, including maternal mental health and postpartum concerns. I know how overwhelming it can feel when you’re carrying too much or no longer feel like yourself. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, better understand what you’re experiencing, and begin making meaningful changes at a pace that feels right for you.
Hi! I'm Charlie. I'm a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist with over 8 years of experience. I enjoy working with individuals 18 and up. I specialize in working with clients who struggle with substance use, managing anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, and relationship issues in regards to being single or becoming a better partner. I received my BA in Experimental Psychology and my Master's in Rehabilitation Counseling from the University of South Carolina.
I help adolescents and adults who feel weighed down by trauma, anxiety, or depression—whether that comes from childhood abuse, military experiences, or the impact of a narcissistic parent, ex, or partner. I know how isolating that can be. In our work together, my priority is helping you feel truly seen, heard, and understood in a safe, confidential space where you can show up exactly as you are.
I’m Christina, a warm, down-to-earth therapist who genuinely enjoys getting to know people and understanding what makes them who they are.
I’ve spent more than 15 years working with people in schools, hospitals, community mental health, crisis intervention, and trauma-focused settings. Along the way, I’ve supported veterans, first responders, trauma and abuse survivors, parents, professionals, adolescents, and neurodivergent individuals.
My path into therapy has given me the opportunity to sit with people during some incredibly difficult moments. It has taught me that there is almost always more to someone than what we see on the surface - and that life rarely fits neatly into categories.
I’m interested in the whole picture: your experiences, relationships, strengths, struggles, sense of humor, values, and the things you may not always understand about yourself.
I also believe therapy can be both meaningful and human. There will be serious conversations, but there can also be laughter, honesty, and those moments when something finally clicks.
You don’t have to have an impressive story or a perfect explanation for why you’re here. We can start with wherever life has you right now.
Hi, I’m Tina Chen, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping clients feel their best. I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, and ADHD, and I combine medication management with practical tools from CBT and positive psychology. With advanced training from California Baptist University and National University, I focus on creating a supportive, collaborative space where you can build confidence, resilience, and balance in your everyday life.
Hi, I’m Jamelia Shahid-EL a LCMHC and school counselor with 10+ years of experience. I offer affirming, down-to-earth therapy for children navigating anxiety, identity, burnout, and life transitions. My space is inclusive, trauma-informed, and rooted in care.
I graduated from UNC-Charlotte in 2012. I am a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I have worked in a school setting for several years supporting the social and emotional needs of children. I have worked in the University setting as a college counselor and I also have experience working with adults in the community. I would love to walk alongside of you in your journey.

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.
