Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Raleigh, NC covered by Cigna

Hello, I’m Ambrose Ukpebor, DNP, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with experience supporting individuals facing depression, anxiety, trauma, and other mental health challenges. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree and have worked extensively in crisis and community mental health settings, helping individuals stabilize and move toward recovery. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, focusing on personalized treatment plans that may include medication management and supportive strategies. My goal is to create a safe, respectful space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered in your mental health journey.

I provide reliable, compassionate, and personalized support tailored to each of my patient's specific needs. My goals are to build trust, provide support and knowledge, and promote independence. I believe in mutual respect and the importance of having freedom to be your authentic self, no matter how hard it may be. I don't believe there is a one size fits all solution, we will work together utilizing many treatment modalities to achieve growth you can be proud of. My priority is making each client feel seen, and valued while aiding in the growth process.

Welcome to the first step to your healing journey!

Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about coming home to yourself. If you’re ready to feel more grounded, more seen, and more aligned with who you really are, I’d be honored to walk that path with you.

I am passionate about helping people find clarity, healing, and a deeper connection to themselves. I work with adults and older adults navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, and life transitions—and I offer a space where you don’t have to hold it all alone. I was drawn to this work because of my own journey. Growing up, I often found myself holding space for others—listening deeply, asking questions, and offering comfort. Over time, I realized that being present with people in their pain, and witnessing their growth, was not just something I cared about—it was something I was meant to do. That sense of purpose continues to guide me today.

My name is Ragine George, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in North Carolina. I work with adults who are ready to make a real change. I take an integrative approach to therapy, drawing on cognitive-behavioral techniques, exposure-based methods, and trauma-informed care. My goal is to help you build practical skills you can use between sessions. Therapy should feel productive. Each session, I want you to leave with something concrete: a new way of thinking about a problem, a tool to manage a difficult moment, or a clearer sense of what you are working toward. My background includes both outpatient counseling and crisis work, which has given me a broad clinical foundation. I am comfortable sitting with difficult emotions and helping clients move through them at their own pace. At the same time, I stay goal-oriented. I work best with clients who want both structure and compassion. I specialize in depression, anxiety, self-esteem, family concerns and panic disorders. I use exposure therapy with clients whose anxiety has taken over their daily life, and I bring a culturally informed lens to every session. I offer telehealth sessions exclusively, which means you can access care from wherever you are in North Carolina. Whether you have been managing something for years or a situation recently became overwhelming, I want to help you find a path forward. I look forward to seeing if we are a good fit.

I'm Janna Williams, and my path to becoming a therapist is anything but traditional — and I think that's exactly what makes me effective. After 30 years with the State of North Carolina, I retired and did what most people wouldn't: I started over. I became a mobile crisis team responder, showed up for people in their hardest moments, and discovered exactly where I was meant to be. I hold a degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Sociology from UNC Charlotte (Go Niners! 🤘) and earned my Master of Social Work from UNC Pembroke in 2022 (Go Braves! 🏹). My background spans the judicial system, child welfare, substance use, crisis intervention, and suicide prevention — which means I've seen a lot, and very little surprises or intimidates me. I'm here with you at Greater Vision Counseling Services, Southern Pines, and I am genuinely honored to be part of your story.
