I specialize in providing support for individuals managing ADHD, anxiety, LGBTQ issues, and complex trauma.
I specialize in supporting adults navigating ADHD, anxiety, intricate family dynamics, and complex trauma. I recognize that reaching out for help can feel unfamiliar and even daunting at times. That’s why I invite you to start with a brief conversation where we can explore your needs and concerns in a comfortable and non-judgmental space. Together, we can work through the challenges you're facing, and I’m confident that our collaboration will empower you to make meaningful progress toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Some areas of clinical expertise are Panic Disorder, Neurodivergence (ADHD), LGBT+ issues, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and Addiction-related topics.
You are your only limit. I hope that by creating a safe and welcoming environment I can assist you in the journey of Life. I view the therapeutic alliance as a team effort to help you reach your goals. Do circumstances outside of your control have you feeling overwhelmed? Perhaps there's a memory that you cannot simply 'let go'? During therapy sessions I always draw from a variety of therapeutic modalities in an attempt to lessen your life stressors. Preferred theoretical orientations include CBT, DBT, ACT, MI, & components of SFT. A clinician may use different theories, but there is never a one size-fits-all to treating illnesses.

I work with adults from varying background and experiences: including but not limited to topics such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, identity, sexuality, life transitions, LGBTQ+, communication, family dynamics, the enneagram, and acceptance of self.
Welcome! My name is Tommy Hibbs, and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in North Carolina. I believe therapy is for anyone and everyone. It is a chance for one to better explore their identity, wants and needs, goals, and so much more. My objective within sessions is to create a space for further self-discovery and self-acceptance. Clients deserve to be heard, validated, seen, and affirmed. My deepest desire in therapy is for my clients to feel at peace with who they are and who they are becoming.

My ideal client is anyone struggling to navigate everyday stressors or unresolved traumas.

I work with both individuals and groups, and have particular interest in issues affecting men, survivors of religious oppression, trauma, addictions, grief and loss, helping professionals and small business owners in developing healthy, vibrant careers, and supporting gay men and lesbians in their quest for maximum fulfillment in their lives.
Freud is credited with stating that two things really matter in life: love and work. I help people find greater satisfaction with a) their relationships with themselves and others, and b) what they do to make meaning in their lives. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship to help you maximize your spiritual, physical, and emotional potential. Operating from an orientation which draws primarily on a combination of contemporary psychoanalytic, attachment, and neurobiological perspectives, I am fully committed to walking with you on your journey toward greater satisfaction and fulfillment.

I work with adolescents and adults, including LGBTQ+ clients and others from marginalized communities, navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and relationship challenges.
Therapy with me is grounded, conversational, and paced to your needs. We’ll explore patterns with compassion rather than judgment, build tools that genuinely fit your life, and make space for the parts of you that may have learned to survive by staying guarded, overwhelmed, disconnected, or constantly “on.”

I received my MSW from NCSU
I am LGBT+ affirming and a part of the community myself.
Do you feel a little stuck, or maybe lost along the way? You are not alone!
Hi, I am Beth, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker focused on neurodivergence. I focus on trauma, Big Feelings, and other life experiences from a neurodivergent lens.
I'd love to meet you and your family wherever you are in life's journey. I believe that each person needs different things, and together, we can find the best approach for you.

Living in a constant state of worry? Always thinking of what’s ahead or things that happened in the past, rather than what’s happening in the now… Maybe you feel like you’re drowning in a sea of thoughts, looking for the nearest life preserver to help you stay afloat. When things get tough, you feel like you’re in it alone and no one can possibly understand what you’re going through. Maybe you’ve tried all the avenues to inner peace and nothing seems to be enough.

I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ individuals, emerging adults (18+), and those in "helping" professions (education, medicine, mental health).
If you are at a crossroads between who you've been (or been told to be), and who you long to become, I am here for you. My clients come to me because the old narratives they've been living by no longer fit, and it's time to write a new story of wholeness and fulfillment. Together we explore concerns related to sexual and gender identity, religious or spiritual concerns, life transitions, relationship concerns, depression, anxiety, stress, burnout, and more. My approach is collaborative, laid back, and insight-driven; designed to give you space to be heard, understood, and affirmed as we explore your unique needs and goals.

I provide queer/hetero/poly/monog/ENM/ace/kink-friendly counseling and strive to create a welcoming environment for all.
I'm trained in evidence-based methods including ACT, CBT, and Gottman Method Couples Therapy. Together we can build skills (e.g. mindfulness, communication, self-compassion) to make life easier while working to gain insight and break out of old patterns. I use humor (appropriately, mostly) and give direct feedback with compassion.

I welcome clients of all genders and backgrounds and am LGBTQ+ affirming.
Do you feel overwhelmed, stuck, or like you have to hold everything together on your own?
Many of the men I work with are used to pushing through—handling stress, staying busy, and keeping emotions to themselves. But over time, that can lead to anxiety, irritability, disconnection in relationships, or just feeling off without knowing why. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep managing it by yourself.
I'm proud of my work with men who want something to change, even if they’re not sure exactly where to start. Whether you’re dealing with stress, relationship challenges, anger, or feeling disconnected

I work with neurodivergent adults, LGBTQ+ folk, and people navigating anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges.
I help clients understand the root causes of emotional pain, process difficult emotions, and build more satisfying relationships. I'm well-versed in non-monogamy, polyamory, and kink dynamics, and welcome clients who don't fit the mold of traditional therapy. My approach is collaborative, personal, and grounded in genuine connection.

I support clients from all backgrounds—straight, LGBTQIA+, monogamous, non-monogamous, and everything in between.
I frequently collaborate with hospitals, primary care physicians, psychiatrists, and addiction treatment programs to ensure warm handoffs and coordinated, integrated care. If you’re a provider, I’m happy to consult, coordinate, or offer updates to support shared clients.

Whether you are facing new obstacles, working through longstanding struggles, or just trying to move through each day, your experience matters and there is value in approaching these challenges together. Through a collaborative process, we can clarify your goals, develop practical tools for daily life, and move toward a way of living that feels right for you.

The people who tend to work with me are thoughtful and curious, often navigating grief, life transitions, identity shifts, or relationship strain. They may appear steady on the outside while feeling stretched thin inside. Many want space to slow down and understand themselves more fully, creating change that feels integrated and lasting.
For couples, my goal is to help each person gently uncover the patterns that create tension. Sessions focus on strengthening communication, and better understanding both your partner’s inner world and the larger ecosystem of your relationship.

I'm passionate about working with ADHD, chronic health, and LGBTQ+ issues because I fall under all three of those categories myself.
For me, therapy is about creating a nonjudgemental space where you feel comfortable to express whatever it is that you took time out of your week to talk about. In our sessions, we will work together to identify your goals and develop strategies to achieve them. My goal is to help you discover the tools and insights needed to navigate life with greater ease and confidence. I have extensive experience working with the 2SLGBTQ+ community, neurodivergence, chronic pain, HIV, and other chronic health issues.

I specialize in LGBTQ+ affirmative therapy, sex therapy, trauma, and the kinds of stuck patterns that don’t always fit neatly into a diagnosis.
Is it still called doom scrolling if you're just trying to find a therapist?
If you’ve landed here after a dozen headshots and buzzwords, I get it. Finding someone who actually feels like the right fit is hard — and weirdly exhausting. I’m not here to give you a polished pitch. I’m here to offer grounded, thoughtful therapy that meets you where you are, no performance required.
