I am a licensed therapist in North Carolina with over 35 years of professional experience. I have extensive experience supporting clients through stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and concerns related to motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.
In addition to traditional therapeutic approaches, I also offer spiritual counseling, with a particular focus on Christian perspectives for those who desire it. I respect each client’s individual beliefs and integrate spiritual support only when it aligns with their values and goals.
My approach centers on creating a safe, open, and nonjudgmental environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and joyful life, and I deeply honor that step. My role is to support and empower you as you move toward healing, growth, and a stronger sense of purpose.
Together, we’ll work to uncover your strengths, build resilience, and help you move toward the life you envision.

I was so emotionally distraught after the death of my Dad last September. My son found Better Help and set me up. I was fortunate to find Sarah and she was the perfect person to help me. When I was diagnosed with Cancer 3 months later, Sarah was so understanding and as a nurse I have always had high respect for Social Workers. She is just the best and I highly recommend her.

Sarah is someone I genuinely look forward to talk to. I feel understood. I feel heard. I feel appreciated. I feel less alone. I feel challenged in ways that make me reflect inwardly.

Sarah Maddox is an excellent therapist, and extremely easy to talk to, and that says a lot because I don’t like talking about my feelings to anyone. I would highly recommend her. It’s immediately like talking to an old friend you haven’t seen in ages.

I highly recommend Sarah. I was and still am navigating a transition in my life and Sarah was not only quick with responding during times I was having melt downs, but also great at talking me through them and helping me realize my self worth again and identifying my traumas. She’s worth the investment for sure!!! She doesn’t judge, great listener, and roots for your happiness!!!

I’m only a few weeks into my sessions with Sarah but in these few weeks I’ve never felt more heard. She’s extremely intelligent and supportive in sessions and is open and honest with you. She’s always available to listen when I have a journal entry, but not only is she available, she provides insight and care. I don’t think I’d be where I am in my progress without Sarahs support.
