In Person Therapists in Charlotte, NC

Hi, I am Allison Adcock. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina. I specialize in substance use, addiction, and eating disorders. I take a client-centered, values-based approach when conducting therapy and work with clients to set goals based on their core values, needs, and wants. I treat ages 13+, male, female, and non-binary individuals. Conditions within my scope include depression, anxiety, substance use and addiction, and eating disorders. I also have experience treating individuals with mood and adjustment disorders.

I work with adult males, with a special focus on fathers. These clients want to examine their beliefs, behavior patterns, and relationships in order to work toward a life where their choices and values are aligned. Potential clients of mine may recognize that something is missing in their life, or they are feeling stuck. You may feel as if you know where you want to be but don't know how to get out of your own way. You might feel as if the stresses of everyday life, job, and relationships are just too much to bear. Potential clients may also value utilizing the therapeutic benefits of nature to help in their wellness journey.

Hi, my name is Danielle Harper and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. It is my pleasure to guide you on a journey that leads to healing. I use a cognitive therapy approach to my sessions, which allows us to explore how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors may prevent you from being able to live your best life or even have you stuck. My main focus area is mild to moderate depression and individuals who have been diagnosed late in life with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder.

My therapeutic approach encourages personal growth and provides opportunities for clients to learn information and skills to help them find a more balanced, meaningful life. I believe that the clients are the true experts in their lives, so I work with my client to establish a treatment plan that is specific to their identified needs and goals. I believe there is no “one size fits all” form of therapy. I pull from a variety of modalities so that I can tailor treatment to your specific needs. As a first-generation Asian American, I understand and have experienced mental health stigma.

Hello! My name is Kadi-Ann Wong. I work with men, woman & teens who struggle with low self esteem, trauma, divorce, depression and anxiety! Life is full of ups and downs. We ALL go through it. It's important to know that you're not alone. Your struggles and trauma do not define you. You can heal, move forward and still be the best versions of yourself! It would be a pleasure and honor to help you along that journey. I am here to help! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions for me! Blessings!

My approach is rooted in the belief that with insight, knowledge, and effort you can be empowered to live the life you desire and manifest your goals, whether internal or external. I will work with you to develop a stronger, more accepting sense of self through mindfulness, challenging negative cognitions, and validation. I deem myself a counselor, rather than a therapist, one who provides counsel through education, support, guidance, and feedback, with directive and accountable style. By providing "bumpers," we can work together to identify and dismantle the barriers to living out your intentions.

Are you experiencing anxiety, sadness, or overwhelming emotions? Are you currently pregnant, trying to conceive, or a post-partum parent? Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, being a parent, gender identity, or navigating the LGBTQIA+ community, therapy is a way to learn more about yourself and ways in which to cope with life's difficulties.

It's as if you are walking on egg shells every single day. Your child is controlling, bossy, stubborn and strong-willed. You've given up on 'my way or the high way' because the tantrums are just no longer worth it. Your son or daughter has ADHD, Aspergers, or is Gifted. You need help. You are looking for answers and solutions- and need immediate support to get back in charge. Some days it is absolutely exhausting- and other days it is so easy! There's the battles, the refusing to wear certain clothes, picky eating, not doing chores, not listening, not doing homework, acting out and the list goes on.

You are worthy and whole, but maybe it doesn't feel that way. The world can feel chaotic, hard, and painful - and it often is - but it is also full of peace and stillness, laughter and sweetness, hope and love. If you are struggling with trauma or painful experiences, if you are feeling overwhelmed, defeated, or lost - I would like to help. You matter to me. Please join me in a safe, compassionate space for reflection, exploration, and growth. Together, we will tap into your strength, inner wisdom, and resilience to help you find your way through the darkness into your own light.

Have you faced struggles with depression and anxiety possibly due to illness, family conflict, loss, work or relationship issues? Has it been difficult for you to cope with and overcome these emotions on your own? If so, you’re not alone. We all need support from time to time, yet many of us may not feel comfortable asking for help or sharing intimate details with friends or family. Within my practice, you will find a safe & nonjudgmental environment where we can explore these obstacles together, help you heal from your pain, and move forward to where you want to be in life.

Do you find yourself weighed down by unhelpful thought patterns? Are you not sleeping well, always feeling exhausted, and having a nagging sense of anxiety? Perhaps you were bullied at school or suffered a serious childhood trauma that still haunts you today. You’ve tried to learn all the self-help techniques and even took medication, but nothing seems to have helped. You may have been successful in your work but feel like you have lost purpose in life.

Is your child or teen overly emotional and reactive? Does your child withdrawal from others or refuse to try things because he or she is afraid of failing or worried about what others think? Does he or she have large emotional outbursts over small things? Or is your child or teen struggling with low self-esteem, communication with others, and developing meaningful friendships? Is your child or teen overly anxious when asked to do a task, transition to a new activity, or to try something new? Has your child or teen experienced a difficult life event, transition, or traumatic experience? You are not alone and I can help.

I work with adults (young adults to seniors) dealing with anxiety and depression in reaction to trauma, life stage changes, relationships, divorce, parenting, career, death, illness, sexual abuse, body image, loneliness, and struggles with the loss of meaning, joy and direction in life.

As a counselor I believe that mental health is an important aspect of life, that inherently ties into your physical health. I aim to help individuals learn to coping with the way that their mental health struggles tie into their day-to-day struggles, as well as their physical health. My office is a safe space for you to come exactly as you are as we work together to get you where you want to be.
