I’m Alicia Battle, founder of Battle Mental Health, where healing, clarity, and personal transformation meet. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina, my mission is to help individuals step into the fullest expression of who they are, using the mind as an instrument for alignment, growth, and powerful change.
I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Georgia State University and completed my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from North Carolina Central University. My specialty areas include Anxiety, Depression, Breakups, Separation/Divorce, Communication, Couples Counseling, Self-Discovery, Executive Counseling, and navigating unexpected life transitions.
Beyond the therapy room, I am deeply committed to leadership and developing others. One of the most rewarding parts of my role is mentoring professionals, teaching the foundations of a strong and ethical practice, and helping them strengthen both their skills and their confidence. In every leadership capacity I hold, my goal is to help people rise, lead with clarity, and step into the strongest version of themselves.
At the core of my work is a simple belief: your mind is your greatest asset. When guided, strengthened, and understood, it becomes the force that helps you reshape your patterns, elevate your resilience, and create a life rooted in intention and emotional freedom.

Azleena Azhar works with clients from all cultural, ethnic, and religious backgrounds at Lifeologie Counseling Durham. She has extensive experience supporting survivors of trauma, abuse, and intimate partner violence, helping them develop their inner strengthand resilience. She incorporates present moment mindfulness, boundary setting, and transcendence to help clients navigate toxic relationships and narcissistic family systems.
I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, heard, and genuinely supported. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative environment where clients can show up as their authentic selves. My approach is compassionate, direct when needed, and focused on helping clients build practical tools for everyday life while also exploring deeper emotional patterns and experiences.
I enjoy working with individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, stress, identity exploration, and emotional overwhelm. I am passionate about supporting LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients and creating an affirming therapeutic space where clients feel respected and understood.
I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, and my goal is to meet clients where they are while helping them move toward healing, clarity, and meaningful growth.
If you're carrying anxiety, grief, past trauma, or a complicated relationship with substances, and you're not sure where to start, you've found the right place. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors through depression, family conflict, PTSD, domestic violence, and stress that never seems to let up. My path into counseling started in Wayne County schools, working with young people who needed someone genuinely in their corner. That experience planted something I've carried through every role since: people don't need to have it figured out before they ask for help. I went on to work in higher education and community mental health, and I'm especially committed to clients who haven't always felt welcomed or seen in traditional mental health spaces.
I have spent my career supporting clients through many life challenges and transitions. For the past two decades, I have been privileged to support patients and families on their journeys through chronic illness and end of life decision making. In addition I have helped many clients with depression, anxiety, grief/loss, health concerns, caregiver burden, relationship issues, and communication challenges.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right counselor for your family
Headway makes it easier to find family-focused support — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Family Therapist in Raleigh, NC
Finding family therapists in Raleigh starts with understanding what your family wants support with and what kind of therapist is trained to help. Family therapy can support parenting conflict, adolescent struggles, blended family dynamics, communication patterns across generations, and changes in the household. Family therapists are trained to work with the relational system, which means they look at how family members interact rather than focusing only on one person. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, family therapy experience, and approaches that match your needs, such as family systems therapy, structural family therapy, or parent-focused support.
Raleigh offers a strong mix of local mental health care options, with in-person offices across the city and virtual appointments that can make scheduling easier for families with school, work, or caregiving demands. Family therapy sessions may include the full family, a parent and child, siblings, partners, or individual members at different points in care. It helps to ask about session structure before booking so you know who should attend and what to expect. Reading therapist bios can also show how a therapist works with families, how they describe their communication style, and whether they offer a free phone consultation before the first session.
Therapy in Raleigh can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you compare family therapy Raleigh options by showing therapists who are accepting new patients and offer in-person or virtual sessions, with insurance details available to review on Headway. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, then review therapist profiles and schedule directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
