I pull from a variety of therapeutic techniques, such as ACT, DBT, and CBT, but most importantly, I am strengths-based and client-centered.
Being a teen is tough! Juggling the demands of school, extracurriculars, friends, and family all while figuring out who you are and how you fit into the world can leave you feeling exhausted, confused, and burned out. If you are feeling this way, know that you are not alone and what you are going through is not forever.

I mostly use CBT, mindfulness, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ( ACT), EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), and other tools to help clients release mental and emotional burdens and to promote lasting healing.
I'm so glad you're here. You must be getting those internal nudges to find some support. I'm grateful to be able to offer a space where people can do that. In therapy, it's my sincere hope I can provide you with a soft space to land where you feel seen, heard, and accepted as we work through what is on your mind. I love working with my clients to help them gain powerful insights about themselves, the brain, and the body that will be transformational for many issues such as anxiety, depression, codependency, and trauma.

My approach with adolescents and adult clients is with acceptance, compassion, and respect.
Acceptance, empathy, and respect are the core values I live by and believe necessary when establishing a safe space while walking through the challenges you are experiencing. I get it, it is hard taking the first step to seek help. You may have been going through some difficult situations for a long time, but it does not have to remain that way. I believe you are the expert of your life and I honor that by providing a sacred space for you to process your thoughts and feelings. Together, we can discover your natural ability that fosters the change you seek.

I help clients feel at-ease enough to be themselves by approaching therapy with a non-judgmental, genuine, and relational approach. I work primarily with pre-teen girls, teenage girls, and young women, as well as members of the LGBTQIA population. I also specialize in psychological testing for individuals age 6 and older, including testing for ADHD, autism, and general questions of finding the right diagnosis and treatment.

I use trauma-informed modalities (EMDR, IFS, ACT, CCPT) and expressive art to serve children, teens, and adults.
You aren’t quite sure when life became so overwhelming, but the memories of past events, the feelings of a racing heart, and the constant panic are leaving you feeling hopeless and desperate for a solution. After the stress of a big transition or difficult, life-changing event, you aren’t sure how to cope. You miss feeling connected to yourself and others.

Hi, my name is Greg Moon and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor (LCMHS) and Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist (LCAS) in the state of North Carolina. I received a master’s degree in counseling, along with a graduate certificate in substance abuse counseling, from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 2010. While in graduate school, I decided to specialize in Motivational Interviewing (MI) when I discovered how well the “spirit of MI” (partnership, acceptance, compassion, and empowerment) fit with my perception of how we change and grow.

You come to therapy to face hard truths in your life and learn better ways to handle them. Maybe you find yourself repeating the same patterns, having the same interactions, or feeling a certain way about yourself. I balance truth and tact, giving genuine feedback. I have over 20 years of experience helping adults overcome depression, anxiety, and life stress. Sometimes you're depressed & sometimes your life is depressing-usually it's some of both. I address both, helping you change the way you think, act, & feel, while also looking at your whole life situation, environment, lifestyle, friends & stressors.

I believe we all have the potential to grow through challenges. Rather than living in distress, we can find ways to ease through the difficulties of life. Through my work with cancer patients, I developed a therapeutic framework based on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients with various issues move from distress toward peace. In addition, I understand that one size does not fit all, so I use an integrative approach that draws from several disciplines.
