Stacy Connor; Executive/Clinical Director employs 5 clinicians, ready to serve you; days, evenings & weekends. This is Stacy's profile: Everyone should know what it's like to feel Lovable, Capable, and Worthwhile. Instead of narrowing in on individual problems, psychotherapy considers overall patterns, chronic issues, and recurrent feelings. This requires an openness to exploring the past and its impact on the present. Psychotherapy resolves the underlying issues which fuel ongoing complaint/distress. I will work to get you on your way to wellness. Serving all of NC. I also offer clinical supervision for LCSW-A & LCAS-A & CSI.

Life and change are hard. You are burdened by all of the expectations around you; work, family, and cultural pressures to act/live your life a certain way. Maybe you feel like you don’t fully belong and you’re stressed. I bet that you’re also having a hard time feeling happy. I help my clients live a more authentic life for themselves while also honoring their values and culture. My goal is to support you in gently peeling back the layers, navigating what life throws your way, and teaching you skills to manage all of the stress.

I recognize it can be hard to reach out for help as well as make the time and space for yourself during the everyday craziness of life. We often put everyone else ahead of our own needs and put ourselves last and our needs on hold. Time just seems to fly by and nothing changes. By the time we are looking for a therapist or reaching out for help, we are overwhelmed and need support now. You may feel exhausted and may not even know where to start to make things better.

My name is Eva Washington, owner of Journey Towards Improved Health. I use an eclectic treatment approach which can embrace people from all backgrounds. The one approach I do believe is appropriate for all is the Person Centered approach. You can never go wrong focusing on the person and tailoring treatment to the individual. My life experience affords me a practical approach not every therapist can experience from the classroom. I specialize in LBGQT+, trauma and substance abuse. I work with adults, young adults, teens, and couples.

Drawing from my experiences in culturally diverse communities across the globe, I strive to create a safe space in which your values and beliefs form the foundation of our therapeutic relationship.

Let’s face it…life can be challenging. For many these last few years of hurricanes and covid have shaken our ability to cope with all the usual “stuff” of life. So, experiencing challenges at this time is more normal than you may think. Many people are turning to therapy to figure out and resolve the “what’s wrong” in life. What then, is therapy? What can you expect? I am Jan Hood, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC). I have worked in many public agencies over the years, but always with a focus on supporting children and families as they navigate available services.

Do you find life overwhelming at times and afraid of the next “storm” coming? Do you sometimes wake up wishing the day was already over? Do you question if life will ever get any better than this?
