If anxiety, depression, or the weight of past trauma has started to feel like it's steering your life instead of you, that's exactly where I do my best work. I'm Erica, a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, and I think of myself as your therapeutic GPS — you set the destination, and I help you find the route. I work with children, teens, adults, and couples, and I bring genuine respect, real-world knowledge, and yes, some humor to every session, because feeling comfortable with your therapist actually matters for getting better.

Ruby Mcarthur

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


As a clinician, I enjoy working with everyone in all phases of life helping in building self-esteem, managing addiction, trauma, self-discovery, medication management, anger management, re-establishing one's dreams/purpose, building/strengthening relationships one has with self, partners or family systems.

I have worked with foster children, young adults, primary care staff and patients, those who struggled with substance abuse in a methadone clinic, provided supervision to non-licensed social workers in the hospital.

I welcome the opportunity to meet with you for a consultation to see if working together would be a great match like a grilled cheese or peanut butter sandwich.

Best of luck on your journey to health and wellness.

Lina Rios

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.
