Therapists in Charlotte, NC

You are the expert on you and your family. Which may be hard to recognize at times because of things that have happened in your past or there may be experiences that are impacting you more than you realize. Or you may have a child who feels overlooked or misunderstood. Because only you are experiencing your life, I am here to assist you in making changes in areas you identify to better fulfill your goals. I work with adolescents, adults, and families to help navigate through communication, anxiety, trauma, and depression. I have experience with the LGBTQ+ population and certified in letter writing for gender affirming medical care.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist passionate about helping you experience new ways of understanding, managing, and living life. I help clients that have experienced childhood traumas, relational challenges, strengthen marriages, preparation for marriage, navigating emotional/psychological distressful experiences, strengthen emotional connections/bonds, and recover the hope and joy that once was. Village Designed Counseling creates an emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual safe place to explore, heal, and recover hope again.

You’re feeling tired, anxious, and empty, hoping to find balance in your life. You want to change how you approach your daily stressors, but you don’t know how to even start. Finding your path through difficult challenges feels overwhelming most of the time. Regardless of the reason, you feel disconnected, lonely, and anxious. Are you hoping to find someone who will not only listen to you but also your story?

I am the owner and therapist behind Next Steps Counseling and Consulting, PLLC. With a focus on anxiety, life transitions, and relationships, I specialize in disordered eating, body image, and helping families support each other. For 15 years, I have provided therapy in multiple settings, including outpatient, PHP/IOP, community mental health, and private practice. I spent ten years of my career in clinical and administrative leadership but felt a calling to return to direct service in response to the current mental health crisis. I opened a virtual private practice and have loved being able to return to therapy and direct care.

I strive to meet people where they are and create a safe environment where people can process underlying trauma/life-challenge to support more alignment with their intuition/goals. Part of my work with people entails reframing/challenging negative self-talk, helping set realistic short-term goals to aid in accomplishing long-term ones, improving emotion regulation, and developing mindfulness skills. I am an ally in all forms and address people-problems regardless of labels. I enjoy helping LCAS-A, LCAS-R, CADC-A, CADC-R clinicians through virtual weekly supervision groups on Wednesdays at 12pm. Individual supervisions are available.

Hello, my name is Ama Owusuaa, and I believe therapy is a collaborative effort. My approach is client-centered, based on the belief that every individual brings a unique outlook on personal, family and cultural experiences. In our sessions, we will explore different areas in your life that you feel may be causing you distress. We will look at the way your family/cultural history has impacted your values, behaviors, and relationships in a safe environment. My hope is that together, you will gain insight that will promote awareness and lead to a positive change

I believe in the healing power of relationships. Humans are relational creatures with a wired need to feel accepted. Disconnection in relationships can leave a person feeling hopeless. You can expect me to help you through relational healing. Together, we will look at your relationship to self and how this impacts how you navigate relationships with others. As a systems thinker, I often help clients explore ways to strengthen their sense of belongingness through strengthening relationships with others.

Parenting adolescents is challenging. As your teen gets older, they may show signs of struggling in some or many areas of their lives. You may notice personality changes, or they no longer have the same interests or no longer seem motivated. You’ve read books, tried different strategies and tried to communicate with your teen, but there has not been sustained change. You know that your teen has potential, but how do you help them find it? Looking for outside help, can be a scary step, with many questions. Will someone be able to connect with my teen, am I able to trust that person/will my teen be able to?

When dealing with life’s struggles, it helps to have someone to talk to who can help and heal. Whether it’s stress, anxiety, depression, or sudden loss, we can help release the pressure.

You don't have to be alone as Another Level Counseling and Consultation is here for you. Most insurances will cover the cost of video and/or phone visits. Private pay and sliding scale is available.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is to begin to understand your own story. Reaching out for support is often the hardest step and I commend you for being here. Together, we will explore the layers of your life that have caused burden, stress, or sadness and work together to release you from their hold. I provide a virtual space of safety, connection, open expression, autonomy, authenticity, and collaboration. With compassion and understanding, I work with each person to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are committed to accomplishing.

You have faced and overcome painful challenges in your life, but something about this one hits you differently. Perhaps you're feeling stressed, discouraged, and unsure about where to go from here. You are hoping to move more toward growth and wellness, and are prepared to seek some extra support. However, deciding to begin counseling can be a difficult decision full of discomfort and nerves. I aim to eliminate some of this by establishing a strong working relationship with you in which we initially move at your pace. We will collaborate together on your unique goals and ways to reach them.
