You don't have to be in crisis to talk to a therapist. A lot of the students we work with come in because they're stressed, stretched thin, or trying to make sense of something they've been carrying for a while. At Banyan Tree Counseling & Wellness, we offer a steady, judgment-free space where you can be yourself, and our therapists partner with you to figure things out together. Beyond therapy, we also offer psychiatric medication management and nutritional services so you can get well-rounded care in one place, in person at our North Carolina locations or online, and we welcome students of every background, identity, and story.

Mountains to Sea Counseling offers therapy, education, and consulting with a focus on LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent identities in North Carolina. This is a space where you will be welcomed and affirmed as you make your journey. About Megan: Welcome! I'm so glad you made it here. Taking the first step in seeking out a therapist can be scary and overwhelming. As a non-binary, neurodivergent therapist, I provide an affirming space that allows my clients to accept all parts of themselves, and celebrate their identities. I specialize in working with young adults, including college students and young professionals, who are queer-identified and/or neurodivergent. This might be your first foray into therapy, or maybe you have seen several mental health providers in the past. Maybe you are seeking a diagnosis, or have been given many over the years that don't feel like they make sense or fit. Regardless of where you are coming from, I am committed to working with you in a way that feels individualized and supportive. I love learning about new therapeutic techniques, the nervous system, and exploring new research, but I know that there is no one-size-fits all approach to therapy. The most important thing for me is to offer empathy, validation, and acknowledgement that you are the expert on yourself. I would love to hear from you.

Your chest is tight & you have trouble catching your breath. Sweating, nausea, heart pounding. You avoid situations, become agitated, cling to others. You worry-thinking the worst possible outcome is going to happen. You feel sad, tired, guilty if you don’t meet expectations.

That's where I come in- I can help get you there. Online scheduling is available 24/7 to schedule video/walk-n-talk sessions.

Hello! At Discovery Counseling, I approach counseling from an individual perspective. I believe everyone is in the process of discovering themselves. I come alongside you in this process to support and act as a guide. I believe you are the expert on you. I help to assess your strengths and areas of growth then develop a plan to use those to improve your life. I enjoy working with individuals who want to find out who they are and where they want to go. I specialize in working with people going through major life transitions, desire to have a stronger sense of identity, and asking serious questions about their view of life. Because of this, I specialize in working with those who are in the LGBTQ+ community, Gen Z and Millennials, and those impacted by major changes such as moving away from home, divorce, job changes, and more. Further, I work closely with those going through spiritual questioning, no matter their faith. Overall, I am looking to work with anyone who desires to develop a better sense of who they are and where they want to go. I look forward to hearing from you and help you discover yourself.

Let's examine your opportunities for growth. I look forward to working together and thank you again!

Meaningful relationships help maintain mental and physical health and can be an antidote to stress. When our core relationships are struggling or when we're struggling to build core relationships, the stress and loneliness can permeate all aspects of our lives. Relational stress and loneliness are reasons many people seek the support of a therapist. Through therapy, clients can explore relationship patterns and barriers preventing them from making and maintaining meaningful and warm connection with others. Treatment can include treating symptoms of social anxiety, exploring discomfort with intimacy, navigating conflict, setting boundaries, and voicing needs. In addition to individual therapy, family and couple therapy can provide insight into system dynamics. Clients learn to recognize and change negative cycles and build deeper and more positive bonds. If you are dissatisfied with your relationships and are ready to work toward change, meeting with a therapist is a great place to start. If you’re not sure if individual, couple, or family therapy is the right choice, a free consultation with a therapist to discuss options can be helpful. If you think I might be a good fit, please reach out.
