I believe healing is an ongoing journey that looks different for each individual. I invoke a holistic approach and utilize approaches based in psychodynamic theory, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness techniques. As part of the therapeutic process, I want to build a brave space with you, and empower you through your healing journey.
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 graduated from UNC-Charlotte in 2012. I am a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I have worked in a school setting for several years supporting the social and emotional needs of children. I have worked in the University setting as a college counselor and I also have experience working with adults in the community. I would love to walk alongside of you in your journey.
Hi, I'm Luke. I work with burned-out professionals, neurodivergent adults, LGBTQIA+ folx, and people navigating anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges — including healthcare workers and educators who spend their days caring for others but rarely turn that care inward. I use a trauma-informed, psychodynamic approach and bring my own lived experience as a queer and neurodivergent person to the work. I'm well-versed in non-monogamy, polyamory, and kink dynamics, and welcome clients who don't fit the mold of traditional therapy. I own and operate Radiant Waves Counseling and am licensed in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Texas.
Hello, I’m Tamara Neely, a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with a passion for helping individuals of all ages live healthier, more balanced lives. With a strong clinical background and years of experience in both inpatient and outpatient mental health settings, I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care tailored to your unique needs.
I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and autism spectrum-related concerns, with a particular focus on working with children, teens, and young adults. Whether you're seeking a new diagnosis, medication management, or ongoing psychiatric support, I’m here to walk that path with you.
After working 15+ years as an RN I am so excited to be making a difference as a provider of mental healthcare. Working from home allows me to offer better calendar flexibility to accommodate different schedules and to take care of my aging dogs at home!
I am compassionate and empathetic and here to help you reach your goals and become the best version of yourself.
During my training I worked primarily in community behavioral health. It is my goal to beneficially serve the community and provide support to those who need it while hoping to reduce barriers and stigmas that prevent people from getting the care they really need and deserve. Access is for everyone and I want to be a beacon of that message.
I have a certificate in Spanish for Healthcare Providers and as soon as I become a little more fluent I will be able to extend my services, accurately, into a second language.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Raleigh
Searching for therapists in Raleigh starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Raleigh therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, stress, or trauma. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, approach, and experience match what you want to address. Provider bios can show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care, and what you can expect in sessions.
Raleigh has a range of therapy options across neighborhoods and nearby communities, with both in-person and virtual appointments available. If you prefer in person therapy in Raleigh, NC, location, commute time, and office hours may shape your search. If your schedule changes often, virtual therapy may make it easier to find appointment times that fit. Beyond specialty, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, offers scheduling flexibility, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you understand communication style, session structure, and whether the therapist’s approach feels aligned with what you’re looking for.
Therapy in Raleigh can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find Raleigh therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, verify your insurance, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. From individual therapy to couples therapy Raleigh residents may be searching for, Headway makes it easier to compare therapists, check fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
