Therapists in North Carolina

We are all faced with a myriad of obstacles, adjustments and stressors throughout our lives. Starting a family and navigating the role of new parent can be one of the biggest. Whether working through the postpartum adjustment, navigating the ever changing role as parent or walking through the many transitions and difficulties of being a child, I work with adults and children to find ways best suited to master these obstacles and surmount life's challenges.

Adolescence and young adulthood are challenging times, full of growth and transition for individuals and families. I love supporting adolescents and emerging adults as they explore their identities and light their paths into adulthood. I am skilled at working with families through these transitional times, and also enjoy supporting couples in achieving healthy communication and partnership. My clinical experience runs the gamut from in-home work with court mandated youth, residential work with adolescent girls, and community-based outpatient therapy with high school students and kids in foster care.

If you are interested in addressing individual issues such as depression, anxiety or a history of trauma/abuse; issues with your child including recognizing he/she "just isn't his/her self", not respecting your rules or boundaries, troubles in school; not feeling as connected with your partner, struggling to communicate with him/her, having more arguments and less intimacy with your partner; conflict or distance with family members or any combination of these issues, we can work together to help you and your family reconnect with and utilize the strengths and skills you already possess.

We provide comprehensive counseling services for individuals of all ages, from children and teens to adults, as well as specialized marriage and family therapy. Our diverse clients, both individuals and families, seek compassionate, holistic counseling for issues like academics, emotions, stress, and relationships. They desire an empathetic, supportive environment to foster positive change, better relationships, and emotional well-being. Valuing our expert providers and evidence-based therapies, they seek self-discovery and a fulfilling life in a warm, understanding space, making us their choice for top-notch care.

Seeking therapy is not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength. Making your mental health a priority is one of the strongest things you can do for yourself. My number one goal as a therapist is to help you learn healthy ways to navigate difficult emotions and situations. Everyone needs and deserves a safe space to vent, brainstorm and ask for help without judgment. My job is to offer a different perspective to your current struggles and challenge you to build more effective ways of dealing with tough emotions & life changes.

Hello! I am a counselor licensed in North and South Carolina with over 22 years of experience. I’ve worked with a wide variety of issues including depression, anxiety, family and parenting issues, ADHD, behavioral issues, and more. I determine effective therapy strategies for each unique client, and employ a combination of Cognitive Behavioral, Schema Focused, Narrative, and Brief Solution Focused techniques. My clients tell me they appreciate that I am direct, honest, and hold them accountable, while also being compassionate. I am very practical and teach techniques that can be applied to most all situations in life.

I am dedicated to knowing the client and building rapport based off culture, specific needs and the client's ways of expressing themselves and how they view assistance from therapy. At Virgie's Prayer Counseling Service PLLC, I strive to change individuals' opinion about therapy and provide personalized therapy sessions to address specific needs. I have experience working with children, teens and adults in various settings such as schools, office, probation and level III group homes. I have assisted clients to process trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, family issues, stress, and helped couples navigate through challenges.

Anyone can benefit from taking a step away from the chaos and spending some time listening to the help their bodies are asking for. Through soothing and tactile sessions such as painting and sand, calming music and a lot of plants, let's work on what is causing the anger, not just find coping techniques. Why we are self-harming and what are other ways to manage? What is the root of the family fights? Parents, let's find something different to do because yelling and crying does not feel good and it is not working. Come as you are, and you will be welcomed. I embrace all with a warm heart, an open ear and with hot chocolate :)

This sparked my desire to come alongside others and to help them develop a healthy view of themselves and positive attitudes that promote striving toward one's goals and cultivating healthy relationships.
