Sheena Beach

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Charlotte, NC


I am a North Carolina native, born and raised in a small town. I most enjoy witnessing the moment when clients in my care really "get it" and understand themselves better. I consider myself a behaviorist at heart with a passion for trauma-focused therapy. I most often utilize DBT and working with those suffering from emotional dysregulation, self-harm and suicidal thoughts. I believe that everyone is capable of achieving a life worth living and loving. Personality disorder, depression and neurodivergence are my passion areas of expertise. I love to help folks find their authentic selves and live unapologetically. My experience spans elementary age to mid-life and everything in between. If you are quirky, unique and yearn for skills and stability, I'm the provider for you.

Michelle Bell

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


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.
