Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Washington, NC

I am a psychotherapist licensed in North Carolina and Virginia. In my career I have worked mainly in an in-office outpatient setting but recently I had a traveling position providing psychotherapy services to seniors in assisted living and nursing facilities along the east coast of NC. I have also had the opportunity to work in a school-based setting as well as in a juvenile residential treatment facility.

There is hope, no matter what you are experiencing. Having someone listen without judgement, genuinely care and assist you in exploring your problems can help. I want to support you in exploring the issues that you are facing and encourage you to discover positive ways to manage your stressors and difficult life situations. Together we can develop a plan for treatment that's best for you. Your therapy will be unique to what you or your family needs. With children, parents will be involved in treatment.

Hello! I am glad you found your way here. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker/Psychotherapist. I have extensive training in treating depression, anxiety, trauma and grief. I specialize in treating individuals with life stressors/transitions, loss/traumatic events, infidelity and relationship issues. I work with adults 18 and over.

My goal as a therapist is to support you. I want to create a safe space for you to open up and process your feelings. By talking to someone neutral like myself, the hope is that you feel talking about the difficult things and can find validation in your struggle. I want to support you in finding the answers or the direction you need. Client goals may include talking about your past, working through daily conflicts or making plans for your future. I want you to leave feeling motivated to take on each day with a lighter mental load.

Hi, My name is Loretta Ebison. Thank you for visiting my Psychology Today profile! I look forward to talking with you and helping you come up with a plan that works in your life. Your sessions are all about you. For one hour you are the most important person in the room. Your safety and well-being are the most important things to me, for this reason I am currently seeing patients via teletherapy. I use CBT and Reality Therapy as my Therapeutic Modalities, but also use others as needed. I promise that I will be understanding of your situation and help you feel comfortable decompressing to me.

Need help figuring out why your relationship just keeps doing the same thing over and over? Do you feel like no one is actually hearing what you? Is it hard to get past something that happened a while back? We often keep repeating things because we think if we just do it again or do differently we'll finally unlock the barrier that's held us back. My people come to see me after trying something over and over and they feel defeated. Often, the secret is a small tweak from a slightly different angle that helps with trauma, anxiety, depression, communication, and/or relationships.

My practice is dedicated to supporting teenagers and adults from all backgrounds, including those within the LGBTQ+ community, those managing trauma depression and anxiety, psychosis, Bipolar I or II, and Borderline Personality. I specialize in providing tailored support to clients who are not only ready for change but are also deeply committed to improving their lives. My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, empowerment, and collaboration, as we work together to navigate challenges, build resilience, and foster meaningful growth. Whether you're seeking support to navigate your mental health journey or striving to overcome.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) I have worked in various settings such as home health/hospice/bereavement, health department, major universities, medical clinics and V.A. I chose the Social Work profession because while in the foster care system as an adolescent and teenager, a wonderful social worker empowered me to facilitate change and choose the direction of my life at the age of 13. In my practice, I acknowledge that you are the expert of your story so we build on your self-determination and strengths. I believe in holistic approach-focusing on whole person-mental, physical, spiritual, social-all interconnected.

You’re exhausted from trying desperately to balance your needs with the demands of kids, school, or work. As a parent you’re struggling to understand where your child is coming from. Does the “parent guilt” creep in while you’re trying to keep all the plates spinning? Maybe you have a child who is anxious, worried, has difficulty sleeping or going to school, or expects perfection. Perhaps you are learning how to parent differently than how you were parented. Balancing caring for you vs. others is hard. Thoughts of anxiety, self-doubt, and concern that you aren't good enough can become a negative self-talk loop in your head.

As a potential client, know that your courage to face personal vulnerabilities and uncertainties is acknowledged from the start. To realize and understand the efforts you've made already affords us early opportunities to consider possibilities in therapy. Your desired outcome is the goal. The process of sharing, reflecting, and adjusting any internal and relational patterns is our therapy means to this end. The clinical approaches perhaps most reflective in therapy are cognitive-behavioral, inter-personal and family systems, and acceptance/commitment. Interventions are based on your child/family, couple, and individual needs.

Are you overwhelmed with stress from relationships, parenting, work, and other commitments? Could you use support with anxiety, depression, or dealing with life transitions (divorce, job loss, aging, parenting)? Mane Source Counseling provides a setting to help reach your goals and overcome challenges. If you are looking for direction, support, and encouragement in your life right now, MSC offers you a safe space to do this work in either an office-based or farm-based setting. Coaching, wellness immersions, and therapy available: ask us about which is right for you!

Angry kid? Depressed teen girl? Anxious and overwhelmed college student or young professional? Busy mom? Helper or a healer in need of your own support? No matter what stage of life you are in, I can help you work through your problems and develop the skills you need to live the life you desire. I help angry kids and depressed teen girls find healthy ways to process and manage their feelings. Anxious, overwhelmed, or depressed women will learn how to manage stress and reduce symptoms. Stressed out parents will get along better with their kids. Helpers and healers will refill their own cups so they can continue pouring into others.

When life becomes unpredictable and overwhelming it can feel isolating and lonely. As a therapist, my goal is to ensure that each client feels heard, validated and safe, always knowing that there is someone there to listen and provide support. At times, we can feel that we need to hide our anxiety, depression, relational issues and worries. I offer a place where you are able to fully be yourself, where it is okay, not to be okay. My goal for each session is for you to feel supported and empowered to overcome obstacles and create an environment that promotes positive change.

Ever feel like everyday is akin to jumping on the hamster wheel?! You expend all your energy worrying over life's demands and it leaves you feeling empty, anxious, and overwhelmed. Whether you are a parent/caregiver, a teen trying to navigate the world, or someone that feels anxious and overloaded by life's expectations, I want to come alongside you and help you to reach your fullest potential. I believe through the power of relationship and the therapeutic alliance, you possess the tools to navigate all of the road blocks and stepping stones in your life. My hope is that you walk away from each session feeling affirmed and valued.

I'm here to support you on your journey toward overcoming these obstacles and regaining control.

I am so glad you found your way here! It takes courage and strength to invest in yourself. You are in a great place to begin this journey. We all go through ups and downs throughout life.

I get it superwoman; you wear all the hats. Mom hat, wife hat, friend hat, employee hat. All the hats! But this gets exhausting. Constantly having to make sure everything is running smoothly & everyone is happy & ok takes its toll. You find yourself constantly worrying…bills, kids, spouse, dinner, friends, career, on and on and on. What's worse is that in all the worrying and juggling you’ve lost yourself. This part right here is a nagging thought that stresses you out even more. You don’t even recognize who you are anymore or how you’ve gotten to this place. It’s beyond frustrating. I get it.

I want to assure you that our therapeutic space is a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential environment where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and concerns openly.
