Hi there! Taking the first step is always the hardest part - I'm proud of you for doing it! Making your mental health a priority is the key to success and contentment. I have been working with members of the military and veterans for seven years now. Most recently, I have expanded my work with older adults and new mothers. I look forward to working with you!
I’ve been a practicing clinical psychologist for 40 years. Over the course of my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with many different types of people, including those navigating PTSD, bipolar disorder, anxiety, eating disorders, veterans’ issues, parenting challenges, life transitions, and women’s issues. I’ve worked in private practice, counseling centers, nursing homes, inpatient treatment, and equine therapy, which has given me broad experience supporting clients across many settings and stages of life.
Hello, want to work together on a path to Clarity in 2026? I provide ADHD Support in North Carolina
I provide support to NC residents through telehealth or in-person visits at our Pittsboro office in the Chatham Wellness Collective. (south of Chapel Hill)
A Streamlined Approach to ADHD Care. Navigating the ADHD assessment and treatment process can be frustrating and expensive. Many individuals face delays, expensive testing fees, and additional requirements, such as a psychological evaluation and/or a doctor’s note or EKG, just to receive care. Others are seen by telehealth only providers who can't prescribe stimulants and who tell you one has to start off on Wellbutrin or Strattera (non stimulants). That is terrible care. At our clinic, we prioritize efficiency and accessibility.
We believe in low doses of medication and finding your perfect dose to balance attention with mood. Most of our ADHD patients are on low dosing.
My approach to treatment is collaborative, forward-thinking, and tailored to your unique needs. I strive to create a warm, inviting atmosphere where you can feel comfortable discussing your challenges.
State Employees- Headway is part of a program that makes most visit have only a $10 copay.
My name is Lindsay (Moan) Weber and I am licensed as a clinical social worker (LCSW) in Maine and North Carolina. I have been in the field for approximately 8 years, working with children, families, teens, and adults to help them understand their needs with focuses in depression, trauma, anxiety, and attachment.
Reaching out for help can be scary, yet here you are! Congrats on taking that first step. Sometimes we have to do the scary thing when we want more for ourselves. Something I hear again and again from my clients is: after they asked for help, some of the weight they had been carrying around came off. I hope the same will be true for you. Therapy has brought me hope. And I believe it can do the same for you.
Stress and anxiety can leave us feeling overwhelmed, unsure and alone. You may be fed up with feeling constantly on edge, explaining it to others who don’t understand, or shame over feeling the way you do. You might not even remember a time when you didn’t feel this way. Either way, one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to feel relaxation in your body. You’re ready to feel like you can handle what comes your way. You’re ready to feel at peace with your decisions. Most of all your ready to live your life with purpose. You’re ready for a new “normal” and I can help you get there.
Sessions incorporate both your mind and body, so you can find deep healing. Together, we find new perspectives. And we always go at your pace, never pushing to a place you don’t feel ready to be.
As an experienced trauma informed therapist, I believe that your body knows what it needs to do to heal. You don’t have to continue feeling overwhelmed, and you don’t have to do it alone. Call me today for a free 15-minute consult. I look forward to hearing from you.
Life is hard. Sometimes you need a helping hand to overcome challenges and to live your best life. I believe you have the ability and power to heal yourself and to improve your situation. My goal is to help you have a life filled with joy and meaning, whatever that looks like to you. I work with children, youth and adults who are struggling with their identity, their relationships, their beliefs, their emotions, their past, their work life, their academics, their athletic performance, and their life goals. People I have helped include those with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, neurodiversity, and gender expression issues.

I am Theresa Abbah, a board-certified Psychiatric and Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in Smithfield, North Carolina, with over 27 years of experience in nursing and mental health care. My professional journey has been deeply rooted in psychiatry, where I have developed a broad and comprehensive clinical skill set focused on delivering compassionate, patient-centered care.

I bring a positive attitude, creativity, and a high level of dedication to my work, consistently striving to deliver evidence-based care to patients and their families.

Frequently asked questions


Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in North Carolina
Searching for therapists in North Carolina means choosing from a wide range of licensed therapists across urban, suburban, and rural areas. The right fit may depend on what you want support with, such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, or life transitions. As you compare North Carolina therapists, look for training and specialties that match your needs. A therapist’s profile can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy.
Your options for therapy in North Carolina may look different in Charlotte, Raleigh, Asheville, or smaller communities across the state. Some people prefer meeting with a therapist in person, while others choose virtual sessions for schedule flexibility or access to more therapists licensed in North Carolina. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and areas of focus before you book.
The cost of mental health care in North Carolina varies, and therapy can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists and counselors in North Carolina who match your preferences, take your insurance, and are accepting new patients. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to see your estimated cost before booking.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
