Find a therapist in North Carolina — covered by insurance

Hi, I’m Christina. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps teens, families, and adults navigate anxiety, trauma, and life’s high-stress seasons. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and supported — a place where you don’t have to hold it all together or figure things out alone.

In addition to private practice, I work in community crisis response, supporting individuals and families during difficult or overwhelming situations. This experience helps me stay calm, practical, and focused on what truly helps when life feels heavy.

Hello, My name is Denise but I go by Dee Dee. Thank you for being here right now and choosing counseling for yourself! :)

Counseling and looking for a counselor is not an easy decision. (I offer 15 mins. consultation first). It is important for you decide what is best for you and I would love to talk about your needs for counseling first! :D

Counseling and/or Therapy encourages others while seeing the positives when at times it's hard to see that in yourself. You are worth this investment in yourself and a path through pain. I believe counseling is imperative to find the solutions to some of your emotional and body's struggles. I would love the chance to help you walk through the struggles in your life and help you find hope.

I specialize in using brain, heart, and body and how to integrate all three. Wellness is so important to mental health, too.

I hope that I can help you not only find health but healing. I work with all people individually except couple/marriage counseling.

In the end, when we are broken, we all need someone to help us along the way. :) Most of us, including me, found that and we are just passing it forward.

My own experiences with grief and loss eventually led me to do this work. I have a background working in inpatient palliative care where I learned to support patients with serious illness. My experience has helped me understand navigating the medical system and supporting individuals who are experiencing illness and loss. As a Latina of Mexican-American descent, I also see clients who prefer to do sessions in Spanish.

Stress and anxiety can leave us feeling overwhelmed, unsure and alone. You may be fed up with feeling constantly on edge, explaining it to others who don’t understand, or shame over feeling the way you do. You might not even remember a time when you didn’t feel this way. Either way, one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to feel relaxation in your body. You’re ready to feel like you can handle what comes your way. You’re ready to feel at peace with your decisions. Most of all your ready to live your life with purpose. You’re ready for a new “normal” and I can help you get there.

Sessions incorporate both your mind and body, so you can find deep healing. Together, we find new perspectives. And we always go at your pace, never pushing to a place you don’t feel ready to be.

As an experienced trauma informed therapist, I believe that your body knows what it needs to do to heal. You don’t have to continue feeling overwhelmed, and you don’t have to do it alone. Call me today for a free 15-minute consult. I look forward to hearing from you.

I have a passion for coming alongside women with complex needs including trauma, domestic violence, PTSD, faith-based abuse, identity concerns, anxiety, and depression. I believe therapy is a journey, and my role is to walk beside you—offering support, insight, and empowerment as you find your way toward healing and wholeness.

A little about me: I’ve always been passionate about supporting women through life’s toughest and most transformative moments. Before becoming a PMHNP, I spent years working in healthcare roles that centered on compassion, connection, and advocacy. Those experiences shaped my belief that women deserve a safe space to be heard, validated, and supported without judgment.

I earned my Master of Science in Nursing and specialized training as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, allowing me to blend both medical and therapeutic approaches. Over time, I discovered how powerful it is when women can receive therapy and medication management from the same provider... someone who knows them well and sees the full picture. That’s a core part of what inspired us to create The Circle.

On a personal level, I understand what it feels like to carry a lot, to show up for others while struggling privately, and to wonder if things will ever feel lighter. Those experiences guide my approach every day. I lead with empathy, curiosity, and a genuine desire to understand your story.
