Welcome, and thank you for taking this courageous step toward your well-being. Seeking support is often the first step toward reclaiming your story.

My name is Angela, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of clinical experience supporting children, teens, and adults.

Drawing on more than ten years of practice across both outpatient and inpatient settings, I partner with clients to weather life's most significant hurdles, whether you are managing anxiety, navigating a major life change, working through family dynamics, or facing an acute crisis.

Therapy isn't about fixing who you are; it’s about discovering who you can become. My approach is rooted in compassion and evidence-based care, tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. By blending these strategies with collaborative, supportive guidance, we will work together to help you reshape unhelpful patterns, navigate transitions with confidence, and step fully into your potential.

You don't have to navigate it all alone, so let's take the next step toward living your very best life together.

Therapist

Virtual • Candler, NC


I believe everyone deserves to experience the joy and peace that comes from healing. If you're feeling stuck in darkness, weighed down by past experiences, or caught in negative thought patterns, you're not alone—and you don't have to navigate it by yourself.

For more than 34 years, I've helped individuals, primarily women, heal from trauma, build self-esteem, and create meaningful, lasting change. I have advanced training in EMDR and specialize in helping clients process traumatic experiences so they can move forward with greater confidence and emotional freedom.

My approach is holistic, recognizing the connection between your mind, body, and emotions. Together, we'll create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to reach your therapy goals. My hope is to help you move beyond simply surviving so you can fully experience the joy, fulfillment, and life you deserve.

Lina Rios

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


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.

Hey — I'm genuinely glad you're here. I'm Tamika, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor based in North Carolina. I work with adults, children, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, family conflict, addiction, and the kind of stress that builds quietly over time until it's hard to ignore. I specialize in working with Black and BIPOC clients, women, and families who want a therapist who truly gets the cultural and personal context of their lives — not just a clinical checklist. My practice is fully telehealth, so you can access support from anywhere in North Carolina without the commute or the waiting room. I accept Aetna, Cigna, Carelon Behavioral Health, and other major insurance plans, because access to quality mental health care shouldn't be a financial obstacle.

You may be feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, especially if you’ve experienced trauma, toxic relationships, or emotional pain that keeps resurfacing.

Happy patient looking away

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

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.
