Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Stress, anxiety, panic, trauma, or depression taking away your peace? You don’t have to keep feeling stuck, defeated, or disconnected from the life you want. After a decade as a chiropractor helping people with back and joint pain, I discovered a powerful pattern: unresolved emotional pain can affect us physically, mentally, and emotionally. That realization led me to counseling—and to a passion for helping people heal from the inside out. I work with concerns including anxiety, trauma, ADHD, addiction, mood disorders, chronic pain, codependency, phobias, and women’s issues.

Tiffany Green

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I believe healing begins when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. My approach to therapy is compassionate, collaborative, and trauma-informed, with an emphasis on creating a space where you can explore your experiences without judgment.

I specialize in working with adults navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the lasting impact of difficult or overwhelming experiences. I recognize that our past experiences, relationships, identities, and environments can shape how we see ourselves and move through the world.

My therapeutic style balances warmth and support with thoughtful challenge. Rather than simply helping you manage symptoms, we will work together to understand the patterns beneath them, strengthen coping skills, and address experiences that may be keeping you from moving forward.

I integrate evidence-based and trauma-focused approaches, including EMDR, while tailoring treatment to your individual needs, goals, and readiness. You set the pace, and we work collaboratively toward meaningful and sustainable change.

Whether you're beginning therapy for the first time, returning after time away, or ready to work more deeply on longstanding concerns, my goal is to provide a supportive environment where you can heal, reconnect with yourself, and create a life that feels more aligned with who you are becoming..

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.
