John Magee

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I believe that most people have the answers within themselves to work through their own problems - my role is to help you unlock that inner wisdom. I have experience helping people who are struggling with anxiety and depression, or who are numbing out through substance use. My clients are often working through life transitions and other challenging situations, such as relationship issues, grief, or chronic pain. Perhaps you have not been handling your emotions very well. You may even feel hopeless, or unsure how to articulate what you are feeling. Therapy is a collaborative journey to a more healthy state of mind.

Olatunde Howard

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Have you been feeling anxious, distant from the people closest to you, or weighed down by a loss you haven't found words for? Have you been longing for something deeper? If so, I'm very glad you're here. I'm Olatunde, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with six years of experience. I connect deeply with my clients and help them connect deeply with others. I work with individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, end-of-life concerns, and the strain that can build in relationships and family life. I focus on men's issues, anger, identity, and the pressure to hold everything together alone. I do this work by being my "solid self" with you and empowering you to be your solid self with me, empowering you to be your truest self. When you experience that in therapy, it can open the door to change outside of therapy, becoming who you were made to be and finding the deepest intimacy.
