Welcome! I'm Shannon. I'm glad you're here, and acknowledge that connecting with a therapist is no easy step. Thank you for having the courage to contemplate connecting.

Best way to contact me is through email. Some things in life can feel really big and overwhelming. Working with a therapist can help you develop skills to make those 'big' things feel much less daunting. Taking a person-centered, humanistic approach to therapy is important because everybody has a unique story, identity, culture, and goal. As your therapist, my role is to help you discover what works for YOU, in the context of your own life. I am here to help you unpack, understand, heal, grow, and ultimately build your own 'life toolbox' to use when things feel really big again.

Self-control. Can we have too much of a good thing? Perhaps you grew up in an environment that highly values self-control, performance, and not making mistakes. Perhaps you tend to set high personal standards and are likely to work harder than most without making a big deal out of it. Or perhaps inwardly you often feel unappreciated, lonely and are quietly suffering.

Hello, my is Jessie Cockerham, LCSWA. I have been a social worker for the past 6 years, where I have worked with teenagers, young adults, adults, and with those coming to end of life. I graduated from the only joint master program in the country between UNCG and A&T. In my experience I have worked with people who are chronically suicidal, those with chronic pain, people with anxiety and depression, people who struggle with varying types of trauma, those struggling with mood disorders, those struggling with dissociation, and people who have depression and anxiety.

My passion is to serve those individuals, couples and families who struggle with substance abuse, mental health and life issues that others may not understand. My Vision and Purpose is to increase individuals, couples and families awareness of addiction and mental health while also educating about healthy relationships, conflict resolution, developing strategies, coping skills to improve the overall quality of one’s life.

My ideal client is a person who struggles with interpersonal relationships. For you, that could mean worrying often about being rejected or abandoned by the people in your life. It could mean ignoring your own needs to please others so they won't leave you. It could mean isolating to avoid letting others see the real you because you have fears of being unlovable. It could mean finding activities that provide numbing or distraction to avoid the pain you feel about being alone. I am especially passionate about working with young adults, survivors of sexual trauma, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Now accepting new individual therapy clients for telehealth sessions! By now, you feel like the pain will never go away. It seems like the harder you fight to free yourself from the torment in your heart and in your mind, the more tormented you actually feel. It's like being weighted down, unable to breathe, unable to act. There is hope! I work with individuals (typically age 16 and up) seeking to improve mood, thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. I can help you understand your unique situation, find a healthier new perspective, and develop the tools you need to alleviate your suffering and keep it from returning.

I believe that clients have within themselves the capacity to learn and grow from their experiences as they develop more meaningful, healthier, and happier lives. Seeking counseling can be an initial step towards finding clarity and affirmation of one’s self. I work with adolescents and adults on a range of developmental and mental health related concerns. I have a passion for working with individuals impacted by chronic illness. Other specific areas of experience and competence include LGBTQIA+, gender, and adjustment related concerns, depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, and life transitions.

“No” is not in your vocabulary. You pride yourself on being the most helpful, the best son/daughter/mother/father/community member. You were raised in a religious/spiritual tradition that discouraged expressing your needs. Maybe you overcommit yourself, and you've been overwhelmed by everything going on in life. You’ve always felt “different” from everyone around you and don’t quite know where you fit in. You want to better understand yourself and communicate with others. Perhaps you are part of the LGBTQ+ community and have struggled to find affirming therapists. Perhaps you are looking for someone neurodiversity-affirming.

It is frustrating to have tried everything, yet continue to feel in pain, sad, hopeless, stuck in the past, and worrying about the future, yourself, and your relationships. Stress, past trauma, chronic physical & mental illness can make you feel that way, affecting your quality of life (QOL). Imagine though a life where you get a boost of energy and motivation, quiet negative self-talk, cope better with stress, manage physical and emotional pain, build confidence, feel less worried, self-conscious and withdrawn, regain hope and pleasure in things you used to enjoy, live a healthier life style, and accomplish meaningful life goals.

Hi! My name is Nikki Lowman. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NC. I am an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist and a trauma-informed therapist. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults (18-25). My clients have experienced traumatic events (neglect, abuse, bullying, foster care, domestic violence, sudden death of a loved one), distressing life events/major life changes (divorce of parents, frequency moves or change in homes, school changes) and/or difficult adjusting to other stressors or life changes.

Do you have a child or adolescent who is dealing with big emotions? Does your child struggle with anxiety, depression, or other aspects of their mental health? Is your child showing some behavioral problems in school or at home? It can be incredibly difficult watching your child struggle. It’s often just as difficult for children and adolescents to communicate those struggles to others. That’s where I would like to help.

My ideal client is someone who wants to improve specific areas in their life. They simply want to Get Better!

You are, right now, taking a huge first step to feeling better. Let's talk about where you're struggling the most. Your journey through life while navigating relationships that may not look "normal" is littered with roadblocks that I would be honored to help you move. Your sex life as a single or partnered person with or without kids may be suffering and you don't know where to turn for nonjudgmental expertise. I will walk us down the path to figuring out where your goals will mesh with your day-to-day reality. It won't always be a comfortable stroll, but you've got this.
