Top in-person North Carolina therapists and psychiatrists who accept cash payments

You have to take care of you before you can take care of someone else. Make your life a true reflection of who you are. My practice is dedicated to creating a partnership in addressing the issues which brought you initially to seek therapy. I will assist in defining, establishing and achieving your goals. Therapy provides professional feedback; confidentiality; a safe and comforting environment; encouragement; and guided direction and focus. It can assist you in gaining the control back over your life and developing a healthier self-esteem. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have 10+ years working in the area of mental health and substance abuse/addiction and my experience is diverse. Together we will work on developing healthier coping skills while identifying and eliminating maladaptive coping skills. Relationships can be fragile. Let's talk about them before they break.

I was born and raised in Fayetteville, North Carolina. I am a huge sports fan and my passion is helping others in any capacity that I am able. I became interested in psychology and counseling because I wanted to understand and be able to assist close family members in coping with their mental illnesses. I have been licensed since 2017, but have 21 years of experience in the mental health field. I worked with the chronic/severe mentally ill population for 16 years, and have been working with the military and individuals providing outpatient counseling for the last 5 years. Modalities of focus include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and other modalities as needed. I believe that the counselor can help the client to success as long as both parties are committed to the common goal. Effort must be made during and outside of sessions to achieve progress.

People come to therapy for various reasons, including a desire to cultivate a more balanced and fulfilling life, establish more meaningful relationships, or find a way to cope with grief, loss, or trauma. By connecting today, you demonstrate a willingness to be vulnerable and a strong desire to begin a journey towards a better way of being. I have had the privilege of supporting clients from diverse backgrounds and particular expertise with college students (undergraduate and graduate), young professionals, parents with children, and adult adoptees. Additionally, I have 15 years of experience working with individuals and couples struggling with infertility or navigating adoption options. Life can be challenging, but some tools can help you navigate the pain you are experiencing. Your struggles do not define you. You are the expert on you. I serve as a guide, supporting you in finding more peace, acceptance, and understanding of your emotional self. I am eager to hear your story and understand your unique journey.

Hi! My name is Mary Williams and my mission,as a therapist, is to help you to become unstuck and unburdened so that you can soar, reach your dreams, and live the life you desired. I have heard on many occasions how people keep entering relationships that are unhealthy, staying in relationships way too long when issues are not able to be resolved, losing their identity and sacrificing their dreams to make their relationships work. I utilize three primary evidenced based approaches that may help you find your way back to your lifepath and back home to self. Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, and EMDR are integrative, transformative and healing mental health treatments that will guide you to the answers you hold within your body. Therapy is a powerful vehicle that will guide you in the direction where you obtain clarity, seek understanding of self, and develop courage. I invite you to take a healthy risk and experience the nurturing and the supportive parts of therapy.
