I am a safe space for children, adolescents, and families to discuss their experiences, stressors, and trauma. I am passionate about improving the well-being of children and their families during our work together.
Hello! My name is Natasha Pemberton-Todd and I equip people with creative strategies for effective living. I am a North Carolina licensed clinical mental health supervisor (LCMHCS) holding both an undergraduate and graduate degree from Andrews University—in Behavioral Sciences and Community Counseling, respectively. I am with also a training and performance improvement specialist with a Masters degree and extensive experience in the area.
I specialize in OCD, as well as generalized anxiety and body-focused repetitive behaviors. I will help you understand that it is OCD, not you, that is creating these distressing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I primarily utilize exposure and response prevention (ERP) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to work with these diagnoses.
Hi! My name is Dr. Tiffany Sutton, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience. When life presents us with difficult situations, it is possible to experience feelings of anxiety, depression, or a lack of direction, which makes it difficult to know what to do. To become a happier and healthier version of yourself, I will guide you with compassion and honesty as we work through issues. It will be a pleasure to walk with you on this healing journey.
I specialize in working with adults who are struggling with issues such as depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma, and pregnancy & postpartum changes. As a dually licensed therapist and addiction specialist, I have worked in community mental health for 14yrs in a variety of settings and had the honor to walk alongside a diverse range of people in their healing journey. I believe healing happens in the context of safety, trust, and connection. Together we will find the right balance of the "why" and "what now." My ideal client comes with an open-mindedness and curiosity to explore themselves and are motivated to practice experiential activities both in and outside the session.
Hi! I'm Shelby, and I'm looking forward to helping you improve your life in the simplest and most effective ways possible. I am an LCSW, receiving my BSW and MSW from The University of South Carolina. I have experience in community mental health and residential mental health treatment, and have worked with clients with MDD, GAD, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder, OCD, ADHD, BPD, and more.
Welcome! I believe we as people, are doing the best we can, and sometimes our conscious or subconscious "plan" to take care of ourselves is just not working anymore. Sometimes we need to develop a new “plan” but that can be difficult and we need help. The relationship with ourselves, family, friends and our community is a pillar to good health and well being. However things get in the way....like trauma, substance use, addiction, depression, anxiety, loneliness, illness, & fear.
I have extensive history of working with people looking to sustain recovery from addiction, family members impacted by addiction, military members, domestic violence and family abuse.

I’m a licensed therapist who specializes in working with anxious overthinkers, people-pleasers, perfectionists, and caregivers who are exhausted from trying to hold everything together. Many of my clients are thoughtful, capable people who look “high-functioning” on the outside but feel overwhelmed, self-critical, or emotionally drained on the inside.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a school counselor, which deeply shaped how I approach mental health, relationships, and family systems. I also bring lived experience as a parent into my work, especially when supporting clients who are navigating stress, burnout, and the emotional demands of raising children.
I earned my Master of Science Degrees in School Counseling and Clinical Mental Health Counseling, as well as a Master's level certificate in Marriage and Family Counseling from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University in 2017. I use an eclectic therapeutic approach which is tailored to the individual needs of each client. I believe that counseling is a fundamental tool that we should all have access to. It is important for everyone to have the necessary tools to cope, manage, and work through life’s challenges. As long as you are willing to do the work, nothing is impossible.
Hi. I believe in the power of therapy and the therapeutic alliance between client and clinician. It is hard to obtain the benefits of treatment without a strong and equal relationship. I am an open, supportive and accepting person. My goals are your goals and my hope is to help you obtain them. If you are looking to solve life problems, manage strong emotions or change behaviors , I might be the clinician for you. If you have experienced any type of trauma, I can help.
I am a Clinical Social Worker, licensed in the state of NC. I have an undergraduate degree in Psychology and received my Masters of Social Work from Michigan State University in 2011. I work primarily with adult clients, but have spent several years working with teens. I have much experience working with trauma, including intimate partner violence and sexual assault. I also work with adoptees and adoptive parents, I have personal experience with both. Throughout my career I have provided treatment to individuals of all ages who experience anxiety and depression, Bipolar and Borderline Personality. I have had extensive training in multiple styles of treatment with an emphasis in Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
Life is HARD sometimes.
Maybe you are emotionally exhausted and find there are days you don't want to get out of bed.
Maybe you worry too much about the future and you are sick and tired of friends saying, "you think too much!" Maybe you can't say "NO!"
Or, maybe a loved one is concerned about you and wants you to see someone.
If you find your struggles are getting in the way of your goals and dreams, there IS hope. Therapy can help.

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.
