Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Wilmington, NC covered by Aetna

I have counseling work experience in residential, community agency, college counseling center and outpatient settings. I have experience with adolescents and adults, providing personal, psychoeducational and psychosocial counseling services. I also have experience in working with families and caregivers. Additionally, I have experience working with adults in crisis and with substance abuse problems. I am licensed in North Carolina as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist Associate. In addition, I am Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level II and Certified Personality Disorder Treatment Provider. I have worked in the mental health field for over twenty years. I graduated from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University with a Master of Science degree in Counseling (Agency) in 2009. I received my Associate Licensure in 2012 and worked under supervision until receiving full licensure in 2018.

Something Beautiful Counseling was built around a simple belief: that healing is possible for everyone, and therapy should feel like a real partnership — not a clinical process you're being put through.

I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors on anxiety, depression, OCD, eating concerns, PTSD, grief, relationship challenges, and family stress. I also offer couples therapy through a Solution-Focused approach. Whether you're carrying something heavy or just need support navigating life's transitions, there's a place here for you.

I have been working as a therapist for almost 5 years now and I believe having a safe space to process life in what feels like a chaotic world is important! I have worked with both adults and kids over the years with a focus on trauma. I also work to support with relationships, boundaries and building self confidence while struggling with anxiety and depression.

You're accomplished, dependable, and often the person everyone turns to—but carrying it all can be exhausting. I work with professional women navigating anxiety, burnout, chronic stress, and major life transitions. For women who are used to being seen as “strong,” therapy can be a space where you don't have to perform or have it all figured out. Together, we'll explore what's beneath the stress, break unhelpful patterns, and build practical coping tools that fit your life. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, culturally responsive, and centered on you.

I bring more than 25 years of experience supporting people through life’s challenges. I studied at Oxford in England, and over the years I’ve had the privilege of helping many people feel more understood, supported, and hopeful. I work with clients of all ages and aim to create care that feels thoughtful, compassionate, and personal. Outside of my work, I enjoy spending time with my dogs and cat.

I feel very honored for the opportunity to care for others. I understand that mental and physical health are connected and are shaped by our past. I believe that psychiatric treatment works.

It has been a privilege to provide psychotherapy to a variety of clients for over 20 years. I have advanced clinical training in trauma, addictions, sexual abuse, mood and personality disorders, and relationships. My therapeutic style is warm, direct, and encouraging. I provide support as you examine core issues and change underlying patterns of behavior or simply gain perspective concerning a recent issue.

I’m Alicia Battle, founder of Battle Mental Health, where healing, clarity, and personal transformation meet. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina, my mission is to help individuals step into the fullest expression of who they are, using the mind as an instrument for alignment, growth, and powerful change.

​

Beyond the therapy room, I am deeply committed to leadership and developing others. One of the most rewarding parts of my role is mentoring professionals, teaching the foundations of a strong and ethical practice, and helping them strengthen both their skills and their confidence. In every leadership capacity I hold, my goal is to help people rise, lead with clarity, and step into the strongest version of themselves.

​

At the core of my work is a simple belief: your mind is your greatest asset. When guided, strengthened, and understood, it becomes the force that helps you reshape your patterns, elevate your resilience, and create a life rooted in intention and emotional freedom.
