Anah Wallace

Anah Wallace

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Hi there! Welcome to the personalized therapy services that you've been searching for. My name is Anah and I am a dedicated licensed clinical social worker. This means that my educational background has inspired me to provide services that address the overall wellbeing of clients including biological, social, mental, systemic, and spiritual factors contributing to a client's circumstances. I specialize in working with women of various ages. Navigating womanhood, as early as teen years, can feel overwhelming at times. Between academics, relationships, family pressures, identity development and life transitions, it’s easy to feel misunderstood, stuck, or emotionally exhausted. As a fully licensed clinical social worker, my goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and empowering space where women can feel safe being themselves while learning healthy ways to cope, grow, and heal through the integration of evidenced based therapy and practical faith-based biblical principles that holistically address mind, body, and spirit. Together, we will work to build confidence, improve emotional well-being, process complex trauma, manage stress, and strengthen relationships. I believe therapy is a partnership with clients where we get a chance to explore strengths, skills, and resources as a team to thrive, not just survive mental health challenges.

Hi, I’m Elda-Rosa “Dr. El.” I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS) in North Carolina, as well as a Clinical Consultant and Certified Professional Coach serving clients nationwide.

I believe healing happens when people feel seen, heard, and understood — not judged. My work is grounded in compassion, cultural awareness, and real-life experience, helping individuals navigate grief, trauma, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, and substance use recovery with honesty and support.

At 12Evolve, I believe healing and personal growth are lifelong processes. Whether you are navigating grief, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, or recovery, meaningful change often begins with self-awareness, support, and the courage to take the next step forward. ✨

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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
