Therapist

Thanks for stopping by. I believe healing doesn’t have to feel overwhelming or out of reach. If anxiety, depression, trauma, identity stress, or patterns in relationships have left you feeling stuck or exhausted, you’re not alone. Many people seek support when everyday life or past experiences feel heavy, when communication with loved ones breaks down, or when coping feels more reactive than intentional. I work with teens and adults across differences in culture, identity, and life experiences to help you find steadier ground and more meaningful connection in your relationships and your sense of self.

Jullee Capshaw

Therapist

Virtual • Cornelius, NC


Hello! I’m Jullee Capshaw, MA, LCMHC (she/her/hers). I began working in the mental health field in 2018 at a psychiatric hospital in Atlanta, GA, where I developed a strong foundation in supporting individuals through complex challenges. I later worked as a Registered Behavior Technician at an autism behavioral clinic, providing ABA therapy to children and their families.

I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of North Georgia and my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from UNC Charlotte. During graduate school, I completed an internship at Davidson College while continuing my work with children with autism.

I am now a fully licensed counselor and am grateful to have my own practice, where I strive to create a supportive, compassionate space for clients to grow and heal.

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.
