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.

I am a Christian Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience walking alongside youth, adults, and families through the many chapters of life. My passion is to see every person connected to my work step into the fullest version of who God created them to be. I firmly believe in the power of His Word to remind us of our purpose, His plans, and the truth of how deeply we are loved.

It is my heart’s desire that each individual I serve experiences healing from the inside out. Restoring of peace, renewing of hope, and empowering them to shine their light everywhere they go.

I am offering immediate appointment slots and flexible rates during this difficult time. Are you struggling with anxiety and depression due to COVID-19? Do you feel uncertain about how to move forward during this difficult time? You may feel trapped or hopeless, but I can help you with proven coping skills and by working with you to create a new perspective. My life experience provides a solid foundation upon which I have built my techniques and interventions. In addition to my work with adults, I have experience with teens and young adults, and enjoy connecting with them and helping them navigate life and family challenges.

I spent 25 years in corporate America before earning my master's degree in professional counseling. This experience has given me insight into the stresses in the workplace. Having been a long time sufferer of anxiety, I can empathize with the weight of this emotion while also sharing techniques that have helped me live a better, more enjoyable life.

We are living in uncertain times and COVID fatigue has made daily life even more difficult to manage. It can feel overwhelming, but I will work with you to re-train your brain so that your automatic thought patterns are encouraging instead of fearful.

Hi, I'm Christian, a Licensed Clinician Social Worker, eldest daughter, and proud first-gen Latina.

Hello, and welcome. My name is Christina. Originally from Atlanta, Georgia, I have called North Carolina my home for most of my life. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor and Certified Career Services Provider with extensive experience in helping people like you navigate life’s challenges. Since becoming a counselor in 2009, I have had the privilege of working with adults facing a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, family dynamics, and transitions in life and work.

Hi, I’m Emily Long, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over a decade of experience supporting children, adolescents, families, and school communities across North Carolina. My background includes extensive work in school mental health, behavioral support, crisis intervention, and helping individuals navigate emotional and life challenges with compassion and practical support.

I hold a Master of Social Work (MSW) from Tulane University and my professional experience has centered around supporting children, adolescents, and adults with anxiety, depression, emotional regulation difficulties, behavioral concerns, trauma, school-related stress, ADHD, and family challenges. I also work closely with adults who are experiencing burnout, stress, compassion fatigue, life transitions, or feeling overwhelmed by the demands of work and caregiving.

I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Asheville and a 2022 graduate of Walden University and earned a Master of Science Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

I recognize and appreciate that every person is a unique individual and there is not a “one size fits all” approach to counseling. I will work with you to determine the best approach to meet your goals. I am a North Carolina Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist-Associate who serves adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I work with young people experiencing disruptive behaviors, and individuals experiencing change of life concerns, anxiety, depression, and adjustment disorders, as well as aiding individuals in developing anger management skills and coping skills to address emotional and behavioral concerns.

I believe therapy should be a place where you don’t have to have it all together. Many of my clients are high-achieving professionals who are used to being the “strong one” for everyone else, but privately struggle with relationships, boundaries, confidence, or life transitions. I strive to create a warm, collaborative space where you can show up authentically, gain insight into patterns that no longer serve you, and build healthier relationships with yourself and others. I especially enjoy working with Black women and LGBTQ+ adults and strive to create an affirming, culturally responsive space where clients can show up fully as themselves.

Do you find yourself feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally exhausted, or simply stuck—even though you’re doing your best to keep everything together? Maybe you’ve been carrying stress for so long that you no longer remember what it feels like to truly relax. Perhaps your thoughts won’t quiet down, your emotions feel difficult to manage, or experiences from the past continue to affect how you feel, think, and connect with others.

You may be navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, grief, a major life transition, or ongoing stress. You may struggle with setting boundaries, communicating your needs, managing emotions, rebuilding trust, or finding your confidence and sense of direction. Sometimes, there isn’t one specific problem—you simply know that something doesn’t feel right anymore and you want to understand why.

You might be the person everyone depends on—the one who takes care of everyone else while quietly struggling inside. You may have become so accustomed to pushing through that asking for help feels uncomfortable. Or perhaps the coping strategies that once worked no longer seem to be enough.

Whatever brought you here, you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Therapy can provide a safe, supportive space to slow down, feel heard, and make sense of what you’ve been carrying. Together, we can explore what may be keeping you stuck, understand patterns that affect your well-being and relationships, and develop practical tools to help you feel more grounded, confident, and in control.

You deserve support—not because you are weak, but because you have been carrying a lot. Reaching out for help can be the first step toward healing, growth, and feeling like yourself again.
