Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I believe that most people have the answers within themselves to work through their own problems - my role is to help you unlock that inner wisdom. I have experience helping people who are struggling with anxiety and depression, or who are numbing out through substance use. My clients are often working through life transitions and other challenging situations, such as relationship issues, grief, or chronic pain. Perhaps you have not been handling your emotions very well. You may even feel hopeless, or unsure how to articulate what you are feeling. Therapy is a collaborative journey to a more healthy state of mind.

Brook Myers

Brook Myers

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I'm Brook Myers, LCMHC/LPC, and I own and operate Umberger Wellness Solutions, a telehealth practice serving clients in North Carolina and Texas. My approach to therapy is built around a simple belief: meaningful change happens when you feel genuinely supported, understood, and appropriately challenged—not when someone simply listens and sends you on your way. I work with children ages 6+, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, trauma, grief, ADD/ADHD, learning challenges, relationship concerns, and major life transitions. Before moving into clinical mental health counseling, I spent eight years working in education and school counseling, which continues to shape my work with children, adolescents, young adults, and families. Therapy with me isn't one-size-fits-all. I adapt my approach to the person in front of me because what works for one client may not work for another. I believe you're the expert on your own life, while my role is to help you recognize patterns, develop practical skills, work through difficult experiences, and sometimes challenge you to look at things differently. The goal is for therapy to feel like something we're doing together—not something being done to you.

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I enjoy working with people who are interested in returning to the truth of who they are. I value people. Intuition is often within my work with people. I am honored to walk with people in their orientation to healing and health in the ways important to them. Harmony in mind, body, and spirit.

A holistic trauma informed approach with a culturally grounded orientation to care is my offering. I love to incorporate breath work and somatic work in with talk therapy all while centering values.

I respect the courage of getting to this point. It’s reasonable that we all would benefit from support so I am happy to walk you home to you, the truth of you that deserves liberation, healing and health because your life has value and I’m so glad you’re here. You deserve it all.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands ADHD

Headway helps you stay on track with expert-guided support for ADHD — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Raleigh

Finding ADHD therapists in Raleigh starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapy for ADHD may focus on executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, organization, planning, and emotional regulation. Medication management is different and is provided by a psychiatrist or another qualified prescriber. Some people look for therapy, some look for a psychiatrist for ADHD, and some work with both. Adult ADHD therapy and support for children or teens can also involve different experience, so look for a therapist whose listed specialties match your age, goals, and concerns like focus, impulsivity, time management, or school and work demands.

Raleigh has a strong mental health care community, with options across the city and nearby areas like Cary, Wake Forest, and Garner. Your search may include in-person appointments near home, work, or campus, as well as virtual sessions that add flexibility when local schedules are limited. ADHD can also appear alongside concerns like anxiety, depression, sleep challenges, or stress, so it can help to look for a therapist with experience in more than one area. Before booking, read therapist bios for details on their approach, session style, ADHD experience, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Raleigh can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket expense before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs and are accepting new patients, and you can enter your insurance details to check coverage and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can compare profiles, review availability, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
