I’m Sharon Elizabeth Locklear, LCSW, ACSW, and I bring more than 30 years of experience as a mental health practitioner. My career has included work in private practice, hospitals, the U.S. Army, and the VA, supporting individuals through grief, trauma, caregiving, chronic health concerns, relationship difficulties, major life transitions, and complex mental health challenges.
I understand how easy it can be to lose yourself while caring for others, managing responsibilities, or simply trying to survive difficult circumstances. I believe people have the capacity to heal, grow, and create lives that reflect who they truly are. My role is not to tell you who to become, but to help you recognize your strengths, understand what may be keeping you stuck, and move toward the life you want to create.

If you spend most of your energy taking care of everyone else, it's easy to end up anxious, worn out, and running on empty. But you have to take care of you before you can take care of someone else. I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 19 years of experience, including more than 10 years working in mental health and substance abuse and addiction, and my experience is diverse. My practice serves individuals, couples, and families, with support for anxiety, depression, and pregnancy and postpartum mental health. Relationships can be fragile. Let's talk about them before they break. I'm by appointment only and offer day and evening appointments, Monday through Friday, 10 am to 8 pm.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who works with children, adolescents, and adults. I understand that reaching out for psychiatric care can feel overwhelming—especially when you’ve been struggling for a while, have tried treatments that haven’t worked, or are trying to find the right help for your child.
I work with individuals experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD, mood disorders, trauma-related symptoms, autism/neurodivergence, sleep difficulties, and emotional or behavioral dysregulation. My goal is to provide a space where you feel heard, understood, and comfortable being honest about what is and isn’t working.
While I work with all ages across the lifespan, I especially enjoy working with children and adolescents and patterning with parents who are trying to understand complex behavioral, emotional, or attention concerns.

Welcome! My style is warm and eclectic. I draw from a variety of evidenced-based models, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatic and Attachment Focused EMDR, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to address your concerns and distressing symptoms. I am also a registered yoga teacher (RYT-200), and I enjoy integrating aspects of yoga, including mindfulness and a mind/body approach into therapy where appropriate.

My name is Greg, and I'm an LCSW and psychoanalytic candidate at the Psychoanalytic Center of the Carolinas. Originally from New York, I studied History of the Middle East and North Africa at Oberlin College before moving to Asheville, North Carolina. For several years, I worked doing direct care for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, as well as in-home care for older adults in the general population. While caring for my clients in these settings, I became interested in psychoanalysis as a way to more thoroughly understand their experiences. I then attended the Social Work program at Western Carolina University, where I specialized in the treatment of substance use disorders, working at an intensive outpatient program and a state treatment center offering affordable detoxification and acute care. After graduating, I moved to the Triangle to pursue psychoanalytic training, and am now in clinical practice in Chapel Hill.

As humans, I believe we need a soft place to land. Being in the world brings with it a variety of feelings, thoughts, and sensations, but often we struggle to find space in our lives to process these experiences. I believe the connection and safety offered through individual therapy creates an opportunity to name the parts of us that feel painful or confusing or joyful — to allow us to move toward greater self-acceptance by noticing and being heard.

It takes courage to seek help. Thank you for taking that step.
My name is Nikola Taylor, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina. I specialize in grief and loss counseling, which can take many forms—the loss of a loved one, a breakup, a move, job loss, estrangement, loss of independence, or even the grief of an unrealized dream. Whether your loss is recent or something you’ve carried for years, you don’t have to navigate it alone.
My approach is collaborative, curious, and free of judgment. I see my clients as experts in their own lives and work to identify strengths while finding creative ways to bring comfort and clarity. I believe in the healing power of deep listening, strong peer support, and radical self-acceptance. My therapeutic style incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and psychodynamic principles to help clients make meaning of their experiences. I also have specialized training in Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD).
I am honored to work with a diverse range of clients and deeply respect different cultures, gender identities, and spiritual perspectives. Clients often tell me they appreciate my ability to sit with them in deep pain, holding space for feelings of guilt, regret, despair, and longing. Together, we work toward self-compassion and healing.
With both professional hospice experience and personal experience with grief, I understand the complexity of loss. I would be honored to support you on your unique journey. Please reach out for a free phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
