Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC)in both North and South Carolina with over 20 years of counseling experience. I am also a Nationally Certified Counselor and Accredited Disability Representative. I work with adults who want help to feel more in control, inspired, motivated, and empowered to find enjoyment in living from their authentic self. My experience includes working with clients with a variety of concerns such as anxiety, bipolar, depression, self-esteem, life transition issues, chronic pain, and disability. This is a transformational journey fueled by strength, integrity and courage.
My counseling style/approach is warm, interactive and supportive. I believe in treating everyone with dignity, integrity, compassion and sensitivity in addressing their concerns. I do not believe in stigmatizing labels because labels do not define who you are.
My approach uses multiple therapeutic modalities such as person-centered therapy, cognitive-behavioral, reality therapy and psycho-dynamic. This approach allows for flexibility to tailor treatment plans to meet your unique and specific needs and goals.
Together, we will identify solutions and resources to inspire, motivate and empower you through your growth challenges to achieve the outcomes and results you want. I believe that you are your best expert in your life. I will provide you with guidance in identifying patterns, choices and consequences to accomplish goals for a more satisfying and authentic life.
It takes strength, integrity and courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life supported by dreams and goals. Taking the first step toward change can be both frightening and rewarding. I will be with you every step of the transformational journey and help you with the tools to develop a "stick and stay" attitude toward your progress.
BE YOU! All abroad the transformation journey, let's roll! I really look forward to working with you to become the best version of yourself.

Loretta Tillman is one of the nicest people I have ever met. I was court ordered to take angermanagment classes. Before that i was one of those people who thought that if you needed to talk to a therapist you was weak. But having to take classes for court I found better help on line and applied for the course first few times was phone only and after two one hour talks with Loretta I was finding my self waiting for the next class to come up because this person had change my who thought prosses on being weak if you needed help from a therapist. Now I am that guy if I see someone that is just having a bad day or down on there luck I will go out of my way to speak to that person and see if I can help out even if it's just as simple as just saying hello. Loretta has changed my life she has helped me see there is options she gave me tools to help better my life. So if anyone needs someone to help you through a bad spot in your life you can trust that larreta Tillman. Will be in your corner she will have your back and she is always there when you need her the most. I can't say thank you to her enough she change my life in a good way..

I’ve began getting my mental health under control for the last 5 years. Before then I lived with mental health unmanaged my entire life. Every therapist I’ve tried has made me angrier. The culture differences and expressive barriers has made every experience with therapist not pleasant. It’s hard to express how you really feel inside if you can not speak honestly as the person you are. Mental health is not always proper language. Ms.Loretta is such a relief in my true self expression. She is so relatable and real. She can understand and give you a different perspective the way I understand and receive to make a positive change. I appreciate the passion and compassion. I never had a therapist and I’ve been through many to give honest feedback with absolutely no judgment and none of the ridiculous annoying questions. It’s real conversation for understanding. The homework and insight is meaningful. I can’t say enough about the complete turnaround in my feelings towards bettering my mental health. I was ready to give up really give up. She is amazing at what she do, I’m so glad to be under her care.

Still early on in the therapy, but so far Loretta has been a very large help. She is very challenging to my own views, helping me see things outside of my own perspective. Has been timely in response, and helped me on many of days that I wasn't doing the best. Positive reinforcing, while also steering me in the direction I need to be facing. Very lucky to have her help, and feel blessed to have the privilege of her time.
