As humans, I believe we need a soft place to land. Being in the world brings with it a variety of feelings, thoughts, and sensations, but often we struggle to find space in our lives to process these experiences. I believe the connection and safety offered through individual therapy creates an opportunity to name the parts of us that feel painful or confusing or joyful — to allow us to move toward greater self-acceptance by noticing and being heard.
I have been working with young adults and adolescents for the past 10 years.
It takes courage to seek help. Thank you for taking that step.
My name is Nikola Taylor, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina. I specialize in grief and loss counseling, which can take many forms—the loss of a loved one, a breakup, a move, job loss, estrangement, loss of independence, or even the grief of an unrealized dream. Whether your loss is recent or something you’ve carried for years, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
My approach is collaborative, curious, and free of judgment. I see my clients as experts in their own lives and work to identify strengths while finding creative ways to bring comfort and clarity. I believe in the healing power of deep listening, strong peer support, and radical self-acceptance. My therapeutic style incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and psychodynamic principles to help clients make meaning of their experiences. I also have specialized training in Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD).
I am honored to work with a diverse range of clients and deeply respect different cultures, gender identities, and spiritual perspectives. Clients often tell me they appreciate my ability to sit with them in deep pain, holding space for feelings of guilt, regret, despair, and longing. Together, we work toward self-compassion and healing.
With both professional hospice experience and personal experience with grief, I understand the complexity of loss. I would be honored to support you on your unique journey. Please reach out for a free phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
I am a clinician with 7+ years of experience working with diverse client populations. I enjoy working with the LGBTQ population and with women who experience anxiety and mood disorders.

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.
