The idea of starting therapy can create a lot of worry and stress for new and even experienced clients. Therapy is about being vulnerable and I am so proud of you for taking the first step towards self healing. Our therapeutic relationship begins with establishing trust within the first few moments of meeting. Those who are searching for a therapist often get lost in the “where do I start” mindset, so I make it may goal to help ease your doubt, answer questions and guide you on the path towards change. We will re-discover your strengths and focus on your potential to understand past trauma, intense emotions and current struggles. Our time together is focused on you. I meet my clients where they are in session whether you are experiencing the highest of highs or the lowest of lows. I focus on a person centered approach, putting you in control of where you want to see change. I work with children to young adults (5-45) in person in NC or virtually in North Carolina and Florida. The relationship between you and I is what makes counseling essential to kickstarting effective progress. I am with you every step of the way to help monitor your journey. Together we will focus on skills that boost confidence, strengthen self-worth, create timely goals, and help you understand intense emotions that cause distress in your daily life.

I work with college students who are navigating anxiety, stress, and the pressure to “hold it all together” during an already demanding season of life. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based therapies, helping students understand their anxiety, develop effective coping skills, and build confidence in managing academic, relational, and personal challenges. I aim to provide a supportive space where students can feel understood, learn to calm their nervous system, and move forward with greater clarity and resilience.

Your chest is tight & you have trouble catching your breath. Sweating, nausea, heart pounding. You avoid situations, become agitated, cling to others. You worry-thinking the worst possible outcome is going to happen. You feel sad, tired, guilty if you don’t meet expectations. You’re exhausted but afraid to slow down or say ‘no’ to others, fearing rejection or loneliness.

This doesn't have to be your 'normal'. Life doesn't have to be this hard. You want to feel happy, excited & fulfilled in your daily life. You want to relax & enjoy the life you have worked for.

That's where I come in- I can help get you there. Online scheduling is available 24/7 to schedule video/walk-n-talk sessions.

My name is Chaney, and I am a psychiatric nurse practitioner. I am passionate about helping people improve their mental health and overcome the obstacles that they face. I work with children, adolescents, and adults. I am affirming to LGBTQ+ and neurodiverse folks.

You may be the one who keeps it together for everyone else, always striving, always overanalyzing. But inside, you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or not quite “enough.” Whether you’re navigating anxiety, struggling in your relationships, or feeling stuck in cycles of self-doubt, therapy can offer a space to breathe, reflect, and rebuild. I help teens and adults understand their inner world and reconnect with themselves. My style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in real conversation. I’ll meet you where you are, and together we’ll explore what’s keeping you stuck and how to move forward. I integrate tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment-based therapy, and experiential therapy. Therapy with me isn’t about perfection, it’s about creating a space where you can be honest and supported without judgment. You’ll gain insight, learn how to manage your emotions with more confidence, and develop more secure relationships. If you're feeling unsure where to start, that’s okay. You don’t have to have it all figured out before reaching out.

Going to a counselor can be intimidating or nerve wracking. Will they accept me? What if I don't know what exactly I want to talk about in therapy? Or do I really want to open up about some of these things? All of these feelings are really normal when beginning counseling and I've had experience working with kids, teenagers, young adults, and adults to begin the journey of processing whatever they would like to work on in therapy. I offer collaborative, supportive, and honest therapy to provide my clients with therapy that helps them identify and work towards the changes they want to see in their lives. I would say my most successful clients have been clients who have been experiencing feelings of anxiety and processing past trauma. I have training in EMDR therapy to help assist with processing past trauma and I work from a theoretical framework of attachment theory, which emphasizes how past relationships impact current relationships. I also provide couples counseling as I have training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. I am currently accepting new clients and I'd love to talk over phone or email to see if I might be a good fit for you!

In the beginning, clients typically tell me they can't stop thinking about food. They’re finding a large part of their day is dedicated to their next meal. They miss out on time with loved ones because the concern of what they will “be able” to eat is too strong. A lot of my clients find themselves in a dieting spiral. They “do good” for a while, and then they binge later, leading to feelings of shame and guilt. Most have heard confusing things about bodies throughout their lives. After some hard work and difficult conversations, these clients get their lives back. They stop thinking about food as much, they see their bodies as neutral, and they take back control of their lives. The time they used to spend thinking about food and exercise is replaced with meaningful memories with friends and family. My style of therapy involves a lot of humor, open mindedness, focusing on strengths, and providing feedback. You can expect a listening ear, a confidential space, and a therapist who wants to see you develop into the best possible version of yourself. I am currently seeing clients in NC(in person or virtual) and OH (virtually) Questions? Call or email for a free consultation!

Life was supposed to get easier after high school, after college, after landing your dream job... but something still feels missing. Despite feeling like you have things 'figured out', you struggle to settle in and find balance. I specialize in working with anxiety, perfectionism and trauma. Some of the techniques I use when working with clients include EMDR, ERP, and sandray. Curiosity and compassion are the basis to my counseling approach. I know that reaching out for counseling for yourself can be a vulnerable process. If you’ve worked hard to figure it out on your own or are feeling like you’ve tried it all, it’s time to take a creative approach together. In our sessions, we will work together at your pace to understand the layers of your experience. I hope to help you find self-compassion, new perspectives, and healing
