Hello, I am Dr. Shelia Williamson Collins, PhD, NCC, LCMHC, CCMHC, LCAS, CCS, SAP, MAC. I am a board certified clinical mental health counselor and addiction counselor with nearly 20 years of experience in behavioral health. I am licensed as a clinical counselor in the states of North Carolina, Illinois, and Alaska. I have a PhD in General Psychology from Northcentral University. I also have a master's degree in Community Counseling and a bachelor's degree in psychology from Chicago State University. I have worked in an adult inpatient psychiatric unit, outpatient behavioral clinic, community-based mental health services, and residential substance abuse treatment programs. My counseling style is person-centered. I have a diverse therapeutic approach to counseling. However, my primary approach includes cognitive-behavioral therapy and dialectical behavioral therapy. I specialize in mood disorders, anger management, addictions education, and relapse prevention. I believe that everyone has a story to tell; and I am here to listen. Giving voice to your concerns and issues is the first step to healing. We can accomplish this together. It would be my honor to work with you to assist you in reaching your healthy goals. Please let me know if you would prefer weekly sessions, and I will do my best to accommodate.

My name is Michelle, and I hold a Master’s in Counseling and an MBA from Wake Forest University. With more than twenty years of experience in counseling, coaching and education, I have worked in schools, universities, corporations, and private practice to help individuals thrive. My educational and professional experiences allow me to develop a tailored approach to the unique strengths and needs of each client. I am a strong proponent that growth happens through self-awareness, authentic connection, and practical strategies that help turn insight into action. My passion is helping anyone with ADHD, and I work with adolescents, collegiate, and adults of all ages to develop coping strategies to foster personal growth and development. I also work with individuals experiencing grief, depression, and anxiety. I have a background in managing budgets and projects while ensuring alignment of financial resources with organizational priorities. I work with entrepreneurs and professionals to help them lead more effectively, get clear on their priorities, complete tasks, and delegate more effectively by understanding how their brains function best. I look forward to working with you!

My approach is deeply empathetic and tailored to each person's unique journey, focusing on healing, self-discovery, and personal growth. My therapeutic work spans a wide range of concerns, from social anxiety and relationship challenges to chronic pain, caregiver stress, and midlife transitions. I am committed to creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and rediscover their inner strength.

My goal is to empower clients to move beyond their current struggles and create meaningful, fulfilling lives.

Welcome! I am a Clinical Mental Health Counselor working with clients from a holistic, compassionate, and nonjudgmental perspective. I have a certification in Perinatal Mental Health (supporting mental health during pregnancy and postpartum) and a focus on spiritually integrated psychotherapy (integrating the client's unique spiritual perspectives into therapy, if applicable). I also incorporate mindfulness practices to help increase awareness of emotions, body sensations, thoughts, and behavior patterns. While I have specialized training in these areas, I also have extensive experience working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life purpose issues, major life transitions, relationship issues, existential crisis, and self-esteem issues. Healing and growth happen more naturally when you feel truly seen and heard. Each individual is unique, and therapy is tailored to support your specific mental, emotional, and/or spiritual needs. When I’m not in session, you can often find me playing with my toddler, gardening, or exploring new ideas about the intersection of psychology and spirituality. These passions keep me grounded and continually curious about the many ways we can grow and heal.
