Tawnya Thompson
I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor in the state of North Carolina. I having been working in this field for over 25 years. I am fortunate to have been afforded the opportunity to work in a variety of settings. These settings include substance abuse treatment, mental health crises, domestic violence, critical incidences, youth corrections, individual, couples and family counseling. I have worked with clients who have had issues with depression, anxiety, stress and psychsocial problems. While I have benefitted greatly from these experiences, I believe myself to be most effective in individual counseling. I have taken the benefit of all these experiences and combined them to be the best counselor I can be. No matter the initial presentation of my clients, their issues tend to fall into one or more of the areas of my experience. As a therapist, my theoretical approaches tend to be solution focused, reality based with an emphasis on how my client views him or herself and the world around them. I believe we all make decisions and exhibit individual behaviors based on what we perceive is happening to us and the world around us. My goal is to help my clients determine if their beliefs, as well as their actions, are helping them be the best they can be. In addition to that, I work to ensure that my clients have the emotional tools they need to appropriately and effectively manage the emotional ups and downs of life. As I see it, life is "a continuum of temporary circumstances that we all must navigate the best we can with the skills we have". My calling is to serve others, with the hope that I can contribute in some way to helping them make their lives better..
Lauren Anzelone
I am a provisional Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I received my Masters in Social Work from East Carolina University in 2009. I have been providing support to children, adolescences, adults with disabilities, and their families since 2003. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, trauma, Mood Disorders, and ADHD. I also have helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. It’s an honor to be able to come along side others during their journey. I am passionate about helping women, parents raising adolescents and/or foster children, and young adults. It has also been a pleasure supporting foster parents as they learn various behavioral management techniques to best support a child demonstrating challenging behaviors. My counseling style is a strengths-based approach and I use a collaborative problem solving approach to help tackle life’s challenges. But I have learned along the way there is nothing to big for God to help us through. He has taught me I can trust in Him and His plans are greater than my plans.(Jeremiah 28:11, Romans 8:28-29)

Jade Spielman
I work with individuals and couples facing many of life's everyday struggles: anxiety, depression, stress, career and life transitions, self-esteem, identity questions, relationship conflict, and parenting. Alongside that broader work, I have particular experience supporting people through pregnancy, postpartum transitions, infertility, miscarriage, pregnancy and infant loss, grief, and the hormonal and identity shifts of perimenopause and menopause. I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable enough to be yourself. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. Clients often tell me they appreciate a space where they do not feel judged or pressured to have it all figured out. I primarily work from an attachment and family systems perspective, helping you understand how relationships, life experiences, and the stories we carry shape the way we see ourselves and connect with others. I may also incorporate evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and psychoeducation, always tailored to your needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. In our sessions, you can expect me to be engaged, curious, and supportive. I will ask thoughtful questions, help you notice patterns, gently challenge beliefs that may be keeping you stuck, and offer practical tools you can use outside of therapy. My goal is not to fix you. It is to help you better understand yourself, strengthen your relationships, and feel more confident navigating whatever season of life you are in. We do meaningful work together, and there is also room for laughter, humor, and celebrating the small victories along the way.
