Therapists in North Carolina

Are you navigating neurodivergence, anxiety, or life transitions as a woman? I specialize in late-diagnosed ADHD and autism.

I feel passionate about serving those who have experienced trauma, particularly attachment-based trauma. Above all, stable and consistent connection for someone with an attachment-based trauma can make all the difference in the world. I believe there is great power in holding a space for someone to feel heard and understood, as many folks do not have that safe space with anyone in their life. I also have experience working with folks with substance use challenges. I find that substances can often be what someone turns to when they don’t have the tools and support they need to manage the challenges they are facing.

I am passionate about working with adults from all backgrounds, including creative minds, curious spirits, highly sensitive folks, and lifelong learners.

Issues I find myself typically working with are related to attachment, anxiety, emotion regulation, interpersonal strategies, life transitions, stress, and self-esteem.

Hi I'm Alison Cross! I am a psychotherapist, and I provide both in person and virtual services in Georgia and North Carolina. It’s important to have an idea of what feels like the right fit when you’re looking for a qualified person to talk to. The problem is, how do you know? So here's what it looks like with me. When my client leaves our session, my goal is for them to feel heard and respected.  I want my clients to feel like they’re talking to a real person.  How else can trust be built?
