Therapists in North Carolina

I work with individuals who may have felt discouraged or unsuccessful in therapy before and are looking for a different kind of therapeutic experience. My approach is warm, relational, and collaborative, while also offering gentle challenge when old patterns are no longer serving you. I support clients navigating complex trauma, single-event trauma, grief, anxiety, depression, relationship and communication challenges, and struggles with self-worth. I believe the therapeutic relationship is central to meaningful healing, and I strive to create a space where clients feel deeply understood, respected, and supported as they explore difficult experiences and build new ways of relating to themselves and others. My work is trauma-informed and integrates somatic approaches, parts work, and Brainspotting to help clients process experiences not only cognitively, but also through the body and nervous system. I also have years of experience and training in Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy, which can offer a powerful, experiential path for clients seeking deeper emotional awareness, connection, and healing.Psychotherapy.

Hello! I work with adults ready to address old patterns or new changes that are becoming challenging to live with. This might be anxiety, lower mood, loss, or life transitions, such as pregnancy, parenting, separations, career shifts, or simply wanting to focus on your own wellbeing.

Hi - I'm Maria Dimova (She/Her), a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Charlotte, North Carolina. I take a no-nonsense approach, with a touch of humor, to life’s challenges and mental health. You may look like you have it all together on the outside, but inside you feel overwhelmed, anxious, and exhausted from trying to do it all. Maybe you’re feeling disconnected from your partner, preparing for marriage, or navigating postpartum changes, the demands of motherhood, or a major life transition. Perfectionism may keep you striving without ever feeling “enough,” and the stress can strain your closest relationships. Life can feel like hiking a steep ridge — exhausting, uncertain, and lonely. What you want most is to feel calmer, more balanced, and more connected — both to yourself and with the people who matter most.

I bring over 15 years of dedicated experience in the mental health field to my role at Restorative Mindset & Behavior Institute PLLC. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), I offer specialized psychiatric mental health evaluations, diagnoses, and treatment planning to support my clients’ mental health journeys. My passion lies in empowering individuals to improve their mindset, behavior, and overall well-being through personalized care. I am currently serving clients in North Carolina and will soon be accepting major insurance providers to make these services more accessible and affordable. With my commitment to creating an inclusive and supportive environment, I focus on inspiring growth and resilience in my clients as they navigate their mental and emotional health challenges.

I’m Jena Plummer and I help people find themselves again. As a person, I show up to my office with an understanding of my own humanness. I have my own counselor because I believe in the value (and sometimes magic) of counseling. I find healing in artwork, writing, music, and creating. I named my child after a Phish song. I reload the dishwasher after my family loads it up the first time. I am perfectly imperfect, and I want to help you embrace and make friends with that part of yourself, too. I offer both counseling and coaching/consulting services to those seeking therapy or those looking to grow and develop a therapy practice. I typically have a full caseload, but I also clinically supervise multiple therapists who can help you as well!

My counseling style is warm, empathetic, integrative, and person-centered. I believe that a therapeutic relationship should be a collaborative one in which you and I work together to discover creative strategies, solutions and, even humorous insights to help you reach your goals. My role is to be there to guide you, encourage you, maybe even challenge you if I feel you are unknowingly allowing obstacles to stand in your way. I draw on multiple treatment modalities to guide clients in identifying strengths and developing treatment plans that accomplish their goals. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, PTSD, cancer and other terminal diagnosis, grief/loss and major life changes including growing older and adjusting to new normals.
