Donisa Hammond
Hi! My name is Donisa Hammond and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor residing in the state of North Carolina. For the last 7 years, I have devoted myself to the study of therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, but most importantly the act of building relationships. I consider it an honor and privilege to walk through some of life's most challenging seasons with you. It is my job to help you to reflect carefully on the problems you are experiencing, to be mindful of your efforts at solutions and why they do or do not work, and to assist you in making what can be some difficult changes in your life. I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Fayetteville State University in 2012 and a Master's of Arts in Professional Counseling from Liberty University in 2014. I received my unrestricted license from the state of North Carolina in 2016. My areas of interest include but are not limited to, marital affairs, relationship conflict, depression, anxiety, transitional adjustments, and Biblically-based counseling. I am so excited that you've chosen to take this step to mental wellness. It is a journey, but one absolutely worth taking. I look forward to working with you!

Lori Speed
As a little girl, I always wanted to help people. As I grew up, that desire became even stronger until I decided a career in mental health was the best way to fulfill that desire. That desire was further cemented when I became a Christian and saw how people were hurting. Throughout life's circumstances, I developed a passion for marriages and families although I do see clients on an individual basis. I view every client as unique and will treat each client as such. My personal belief is that counseling should be a safe and productive place to share, and I make every attempt to make every effort to make each client feel that way. My degree is in marriage, couples and family counseling, but I have experience in trauma and substance abuse. I do marriage counseling, premarital counseling and divorce care. You should never feel ashamed to get therapy. Life can sometimes throw curveballs that require you to seek assistance; let me be there for you. I want to see you overcome your issues and find peace in your freedom. If you have gotten this far, you are one step closer to making a decision that will impact your life for the better. I am licensed in North Carolina and Arizona with licenses pending in other states.
