My name is Erin Sperico, and I have been licensed in the mental health field for over 11 years. I earned my Master of Art in Licensed Professional Counseling at Liberty University. I have had the pleasure of assisting individuals with varied issues and concerns including depression, anxiety, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, personality disorders to name a few. It is important that you and I are comfortable with one another and that you feel safe with me as you may be sharing with me things of an intimate and vulnerable nature. My approach incorporates various evidence-based practices such as mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral strategies, solution-focused and person-centered therapies among others. I also practice an offshoot of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) called Resource Tapping to assist those that have experienced trauma. I believe it is essential to meet you where you are and accustom my clinical approach accordingly. My sincerest goal is to support you along your journey by providing a non-judgemental and respectful atmosphere as we work together toward finding your personal fulfillment. Life will always have its ups and downs, yet I believe that your emotions and mental health don’t have to ride life’s roller coaster with the right perspective and outlook. We all have power from within…let me help you find yours again.

I am a therapist from North Carolina. I have been in this fabulous and rewarding career for 5 years.

Therapy is a beautiful process and I look forward to joining you on the voyage of becoming your best self! All clients, teens, and couples are welcome! I welcome any client from any community or platform!

I am a retired psychologist licensed in the state of North Carolina. Over the past 35 years, I have worked in a variety of mental health and educational settings. These have included a state vocational rehabilitation center, public schools, private practice, mental health center, and teaching in a small university. My goal in my professional career has been to experience as much as I could in different settings. In doing so I felt my varied experiences could help me provide the best services to my clients. Along with the professional experiences, I also enjoy traveling and learning about other cultures. I attended schools in Wyoming, Idaho, Georgia, North Carolina, and Virginia. In each university, I learned a variety of techniques to put in my psychology toolbox. I prefer a combination of solution based and cognitive based techniques as I feel that everyone has goals but are just not sure how to obtain them. I believe my role is to assist clients to find the best path to reach them. I encourage and assist my clients to come up with their own way of getting to their goal and not rely on my way for them. I feel a sense of humor and enjoyment of music can often help in many if not all situations. My hope for you is that together we will find the path to reaching your goal(s). I will walk the path with you and support you in your journey. Last, I ask that you commit to at least three sessions so that I can get to know you better and you can decide if I am the right person to assist you on your way. Thank you for considering me.

My name is Lillian and I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of North Carolina. I have worked over 37 years of experience as a therapist in mental health. I have assisted clients with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, mood disturbances, PTSD and parenting challenges. I have worked in the field of social work and mental health assisting individuals and families by aiding them in identifying their needs as well as providing them with the resources that will help them achieve and sustain their goals. I believe in treating everyone with respect and dignity but most importantly I pride myself on demonstrating compassion for all and being sensitive to the needs of others. I believe that it is important to identify your strengths and build around them. My counseling style is very empathetic, mindful and client centered. I strive to provide a nonjudgmental safe and confidential environment for clients to develop healthier coping strategies and achieve their goals of overall improved health and quality of life. It takes a great deal of courage to seek professional help and even more courage to implement change. However if you are ready to take the next steps I’d love to help guide you along the way.

Recovery is a long and soulful process. Finding a counselor with whom to collaborate on your personalized journey to a more whole and independent life is like a hero who needs a good sidekick. If you choose to work with me on your recovery and healing journey I will be a faithful sidekick and you will be the hero of your story. I will encourage you, give you feedback, share hard truths with you, maybe even confront you, give you sage counsel, and essentially be part of your tribe. But like every hero's journey, at the end you will have to face your fears without me. But you will have changed, grown, become larger than your anxieties, rewritten your story by replacing words of doubt, pain and languish with words that more accurately and compassionately represent you and the growth you have worked so hard for. I am a psychotherapist here in the mountains of North Carolina. Since I graduated from Montreat College I have achieved full licensure. For the past 7 years I have worked in a recovery based, person-centered therapeutic community with incredible individuals who suffer from major mental health challenges and in some cases addictions as well. Empathy, warmth, humor and confrontation are my strong suits in the therapeutic relationship. My specialty is in treating disorders of overcontrol by learning and practicing radical openness. Does your self-control get in the way of expressing yourself, or get in the way of living a meaningful life? Maladaptive perfectionism falls into this category, along with all-or-nothing thinking, resistance to feedback, loneliness, anxiety, treatment resistant depression and OCD. My preferred modality is Psychodynamic and I also practice Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Eco Therapy, Existential Therapy and I do Brainspotting, Natural Flow EMDR, and mindfulness. I would be honored to get to know you. May your recovery be profound, may your recovery lead to wholeness, may your recovery sustain. Respectfully, Thomas Wilder MA, NCC, LCMHC, LSAC-A
