Melissa Schreiber
As a licensed therapist in North Carolina with over two decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice focuses on addressing relationship challenges and personal growth. I offer compassionate, evidence-based support for those navigating intimate relationship dynamics. My therapeutic approach, influenced by Buddhist philosophy, is deeply attuned to individual needs, with expertise in the resolution of relationship conflicts. Creating and maintaining healthy relationships is challenging and most of us are ill-prepared to navigate the numerous obstacles we encounter. I'm committed to creating a supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation. I understand the courage it takes to seek therapy and approach each client's journey with respect, empathy, and professional dedication. My goal is to help you develop practical strategies, enhance self-understanding, and move toward the life you envision.
Cynthia Jones
Hello! My name is Cynthia Jones, a clinician with a master level degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from Winston-Salem State University (May 2012) and a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from High Point University (2003). I am currently a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Clinician (LCMHC). I have devoted most of my career to the field of Human Services, beginning in 2002 as a Behavioral Modification Technician at a Level III group home for adolescent females. I have over 15 years of working experience with Children, Adolescents, Adults, Couples, and Families in individual and group settings; including experience working with Veterans and their families. My interests include working with all populations to overcome adversities and obstacles which may include: parents and their children individuals coping with role changes, job loss, career changes persons coping with grief, anxiety, stress, and depression youth adjusting to functional deficits and life challenges My belief is that therapy provides an opportunity for growth, self-discovery and insight in the context of a safe, supportive environment. Therapy often leads to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, significant reductions in feelings of distress and an overall improved well-being. Psychotherapy has been shown to have many benefits. However, it is difficult to predict what will happen in terms of therapeutic outcomes or to provide a clear estimate of time required for each client to reach his or her personal goals. One of the best indicators for success in therapy is the motivation level of the client such as being open to the process of change, being consistent with attending sessions and working on goals outside of sessions. Also, my belief is that each client is unique and presents with his or her own counseling needs and concerns. Utilizing one therapeutic approach may not work best for everyone. Therefore, I will utilize integrative models involving insight oriented, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Brief Strategic Family Therapy, Solution-Focused, Person Centered and System of Care. In our work together, it is expected that you will participate in the formation and completion of counseling goals so that our sessions will be meaningful and helpful to you. I may occasionally assign homework as a means of providing you with further reinforcement of concepts discussed in sessions and to prompt further insight and self-exploration. There are many reasons why people seek counseling. The fact that you are seeking counseling demonstrates your commitment to your mental and emotional health as well as your inner strength in identifying when seeking support is necessary. I believe that clients have the capacity to learn, change, and grow so that they may experience more meaningful, healthier, and happier lives. Whatever your reasons are for seeking services, I look forward to partnering with you on addressing whatever counseling needs you may have.
Janay Price
I am a licensed clinical social worker in North Carolina and South Carolina with 13 years of psychotherapy experience serving adults and older adults. Over the years, I’ve supported clients through a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, life transitions, family dynamics, and geriatric-specific challenges. My ideal clients are often those who identify as BIPOC, as I deeply recognize how cultural experiences, identity, and history shape the way we see ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. For many, these experiences can bring unique strengths as well as unique challenges. I am committed to holding space for those perspectives, helping clients explore how culture influences their thoughts, behaviors, and healing process. At the same time, my practice is inclusive and welcoming to clients of all backgrounds, and I value the opportunity to work with anyone seeking support. I take an eclectic approach to counseling, meeting clients where they are. I draw from solution-focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness to create a plan that feels personal and practical for each individual. Every client receives care that is tailored to their unique needs. I work to create a relaxed, judgment-free environment where clients feel safe to share openly. I bring compassion, support, and empathy into every session, with the belief that dignity and worth are at the core of personal growth. I also allow my clients to set the tone of our work together; whether interactive and energetic, or calm and reflective, our sessions will reflect your personality and comfort level. I admire the courage it takes to invest in yourself and to work toward becoming the best version of you. If you feel we may be a good fit, I would be honored to walk alongside you in your journey of healing and growth.
