Therapist

We all need and deserve a place we can slow down, feel heard, and make sense of what we’re carrying.

Whether you or your child is navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can be an opportunity to better understand yourself, heal, and reconnect with—or discover—your strengths.

I truly love what I do. One of the most rewarding parts of being a therapist is getting to know each person’s unique story, understanding what matters most to you, and helping you work toward the future you envision for yourself or your child. I believe you already have strengths, abilities, and resilience within you. My role is to help you uncover those strengths, build on them, and develop the tools and confidence to navigate life with greater clarity and resilience. I want therapy to be a place where you feel comfortable being yourself, where your experiences are heard and valued, and where we can work together toward meaningful change.

Lina Rios

Lina Rios

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


If you're carrying anxiety, grief, past trauma, or a complicated relationship with substances, and you're not sure where to start, you've found the right place. I work with adolescents, adults, and seniors through depression, family conflict, PTSD, domestic violence, and stress that never seems to let up. My path into counseling started in Wayne County schools, working with young people who needed someone genuinely in their corner. That experience planted something I've carried through every role since: people don't need to have it figured out before they ask for help. I went on to work in higher education and community mental health, and I'm especially committed to clients who haven't always felt welcomed or seen in traditional mental health spaces.

Angela Harvey

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I'm Angela Harvey — a licensed therapist in North Carolina and South Carolina and a United States Air Force veteran. I've spent my career working with adults who are dealing with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and the kind of emotional exhaustion that builds up when you've been strong for too long. I work with helping professionals, military members, veterans, and everyday people

who are ready to do something different. I want you to know that my approach is warm but direct. I listen

without judgment — and I also tell you the truth. If you're looking for someone who will simply validate everything you do, I may not be the right fit. But if you want someone who will walk alongside you with real honesty, genuine care, and a belief that meaningful change is possible, then I'd like to work with you.
