I got my MA in Dance/Movement Therapy and Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2009 and have since worked mostly in community mental health. I'm excited to move more fully into working with women in transitional spaces of life looking for support and validation about their desires and next steps. I also work with preschool age children in their homes or school to help behavioral and relationship issues.

I'm Lucy Maina, a Board Certified, Licensed Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) at Therapeutic Alliance Behavioral Health. I provide compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care and psychotherapy for people of all ages — children, adolescents, and adults — in a safe, nonjudgmental space where your experience is always validated.

I specialize in treating anxiety, ADHD, depression, chronic fatigue, irritability, and emotional numbness, including the unique stress that comes with caregiving. I also have experience supporting neurodiverse individuals and those living with autism spectrum disorder or schizophrenia, offering sensory-considerate evaluations, communication accommodations, and relapse prevention planning tailored to your needs.

Welcome,

Looking for someone that is warm, direct and knowledgeable. You found it!! I look forward to assisting you reconnect your mind, body and spirit using EMDR, Brainspotting or talk therapy. Have a great day.

I help people heal from trauma, with a special focus on sexual trauma, and I’ve been honored to support a wide range of individuals — including women, men, military veterans, and LGBTQIA clients — as they work through their experiences and take meaningful steps toward healing. I also enjoy helping people work through challenging life transitions (e.g., parenthood, divorce, etc.) and identity-specific concerns (e.g., men's issues, women's issues, gender identity exploration). In addition to individual therapy, I also provide relationship therapy for monogamous, non-monogamous, and open relationships as well as psychological assessment (e.g., ADHD, dementia, learning disorder, mental health) for adults.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I specialize in working with individuals seeking healing, support, and personal growth. My therapeutic style is empathetic, empowering, and solution-focused. I provide a safe and collaborative space where you can feel heard, respected, and supported as you work through life’s challenges. I help individuals navigate life’s challenges with empathy, respect, and practical strategies for growth. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, trauma, or stress, I offer a safe, supportive space to build resilience and find clarity.

We all have experiences in life that might leave us feeling broken or disconnected with ourselves, others, in relationships, and the world around us. I believe that healing and wholeness can belong to all of us. If you are looking for someone to support you on your journey toward wellness and restoration, allow me to accompany you on the road that can often feel isolating when taken alone. The therapeutic relationship is paramount to me!

My name is Ragine George, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in North Carolina. I work with adults who are ready to make a real change. I take an integrative approach to therapy, drawing on cognitive-behavioral techniques, exposure-based methods, and trauma-informed care. My goal is to help you build practical skills you can use between sessions. Therapy should feel productive. Each session, I want you to leave with something concrete: a new way of thinking about a problem, a tool to manage a difficult moment, or a clearer sense of what you are working toward. My background includes both outpatient counseling and crisis work, which has given me a broad clinical foundation. I am comfortable sitting with difficult emotions and helping clients move through them at their own pace. At the same time, I stay goal-oriented. I work best with clients who want both structure and compassion. I specialize in depression, anxiety, self-esteem, family concerns and panic disorders. I use exposure therapy with clients whose anxiety has taken over their daily life, and I bring a culturally informed lens to every session. I offer telehealth sessions exclusively, which means you can access care from wherever you are in North Carolina. Whether you have been managing something for years or a situation recently became overwhelming, I want to help you find a path forward. I look forward to seeing if we are a good fit.
