You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.” — Marcus Aurelius. Many men resonate with this wisdom from Stoic philosophy. Life brings disruption, trauma, career shifts, and family transitions that can leave you feeling stuck, anxious, or unsure of who you are. I specialize in helping men reclaim identity and purpose after disruption. Whether you’re struggling with stress, relationship strain, or questions of meaning, counseling offers a space to face these challenges directly while discovering resilience you may not yet see in yourself.

I began working in the field of Mental Health in 2004, serving the female population. After three years, I decided to make this a career choice and studied at Springfield College to earn a master’s degree as a Mental Health Counselor. The first paid position I accepted was offered by a non-profit in Brandon, FL, where I served as a Group Facilitator and Counselor to adult and adolescent populations. In this position, I discovered my passion for counseling and helping others grow.

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.

Life can leave us carrying experiences that feel too heavy to hold alone. Whether you’re facing the impact of trauma, struggling in relationships, navigating grief and loss, managing anger, or working through challenges related to substance use, therapy can offer a space to pause, reflect, and begin again. The healing is not a "one-size-fits-all" process; my goal is to utilize an evidence-based intervention that you feel really "clicks" with how you view life and approach problem-solving. Common interventions I utilize include: EMDR, CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-focused Brief Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy.

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.

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.

I am a "tomboy" at heart! I love motorcycles, dogs, horses, the beach, running, and live music. But are we a good therapy match? You decide- AAS-Agribusiness, BSW-Social Work, MSW-Social Work. Work History: 8 years in Public Health, 5 years in Child Welfare, 2 years in Caregiving, 2 years in Developmental Disabilities, 8 years in Mental Health. Did I mention that I worked for DuPont for 10 years before going back to school for social work? I have a strong work ethic-that means I give you 100%.

You look like you have it together on the outside, but internally, things feel increasingly out of control. Drinking, marijuana, or gambling may have started as a way to cope, escape, or unwind, but now they're creating problems you can no longer ignore. You've probably tried to cut back, control it, or manage it on your own. Maybe it worked for a while, but the same patterns keep returning. I work with men who are tired of repeating the same cycle and are ready to make meaningful changes.

I specialize in addiction recovery, substance use disorders, and gambling-related concerns. As a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (NC), Licensed Addiction Counselor (SC), and Substance Abuse Professional (SAP), I provide a practical, structured approach focused on long-term change. Therapy goes beyond simply talking about the problem. We work to understand what's driving the behavior, build healthier coping strategies, increase accountability, and create a clear path forward.

Many of the men I work with are successful, responsible people who know something needs to change but aren't sure how to get there. If you're ready to stop repeating the same patterns and start building a different future, I offer secure online counseling across North Carolina. The first session is simply a conversation about what's happening and where you want things to go next.
