Our Therapy

Depression, fear, and anxiety are some of the most common - and most uncomfortable - emotions we can experience at different points in our lives.

It’s also estimated that approximately one in six people who use mind-altering substances or engage in compulsive behaviors will develop dependence at some point. Even for those who don't meet full criteria for addiction, it’s common to turn to substances or behaviors as coping mechanisms when healthier options feel out of reach.

Through compassionate counseling and evidence-based treatment, we can help you reconnect with the motivation, clarity, and joy that may feel lost right now.

At Lakeside Psychotherapy, we integrate a variety of effective approaches - including EMDR, DBT, ImTT, IFS, CBT, REBT, MI, and Gottman Method - in a conversational, relatable way.
Therapy here feels less like a clinical appointment and more like a nonjudgmental space to process, reflect, and heal.

Healing is not about perfection - it’s about finding new ways to live, cope, and thrive with compassion for yourself.

Many individuals can experience symptoms associated with painful and traumatic circumstances. Anxiety, fear, and hopelessness are a few emotions that can linger post traumatic events. We can help you overcome these symptoms and guide you through the process of grief and healing. 

Psychotherapy can be beneficial to individuals, families, and couples at all stages of life. Sessions can be held at my private office in Downtown Mebane, NC,  or through our secure telehealth platform - from the comfort of your own home or office anywhere in North Carolina.
