Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in North Carolina

Have you struggled with loving and accepting your body? Have negative thoughts and insecurities about your body caused you to experience depression, anxiety or affected your self-esteem? Have you used food as a means of managing negative feelings and emotions that have been spiraling out of control? The sad truth is that we live in a world where society’s unrealistic beauty standards that are rooted in patriarchy, toxic diet culture, traditional media, and negative social media images and messaging constantly tell us we’re not good enough, we’re not thin enough, we’re not curvy enough, we’re not beautiful or desirable enough. My name is Stefanie Lawson! I'm a licensed therapist in NC who helps clients to regain control over their relationship with food, body and inner-self while following the Health at Every Size model! I have over 7 years of clinical experience, as well as a personal understanding of what it's like to recover from disordered eating and make peace with my body. I know that seeking therapy can feel scary and finding the right therapist who is a good fit for you can be challenging and exhausting!

My name is Lillian Christina Veatch! I have been a family nurse practitioner for the past 4 years. Prior to becoming an NP, I worked in the hospital on a family medicine unit as a registered nurse for nearly 7 years. I am very passionate about listening to patients and getting to the root of problems and tackling them one by one. TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: I look at the whole picture when treating a patient and focus on the root causes of issues. I am passionate about making people feel better in mind, body, and spirit.

I believe the therapy process is a marathon, not a sprint. Pacing and patience are key to the type of collaborative therapy I offer. In this “marathon”, I am open to discussing what tactics you want to use to create the change you want to see. As a counselor, I use myself as a vehicle for change in the therapeutic process. I bring a warm, personable, and laid-back nature to each session because I believe everyone needs a comfortable space to share their story. I push my clients in the direction of their goals, but I respect the importance of pacing and patience during the therapy “marathon”. I utilize an eclectic approach to meet you where you are. Some of these approaches include Adlerian, Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral and Mindfulness therapies. I have experience working with student-athletes and I know how difficult it is juggling academics, work, school, sports, and a personal life. I also enjoy working on self-esteem building. I invite not only student-athletes, but any adolescents and adults who are struggling with life's pressures. If you are looking for someone who will take the role of pushing you to meet your goals while still staying in your corner cheering you on, please feel free to reach out.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 3 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults. My practice is virtual in the state of North Carolina. I specialize with mood disorders, anxiety/panic, life transitions and trauma. 

I grew up in Baltimore, Maryland, and attended Rutgers University in New Jersey, where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a Sociology minor. Growing up, family and friends always came to me for help and found comfort in talking to me about their challenges. I loved helping them and always knew I wanted a career where I would be able to help people and have a positive impact on their lives. When I was a freshman in college at Rutgers University, I saw Eric LeGrand play football, and during a game, he was paralyzed from the neck down. Doctors thought that he would never be able to breathe independently again, let alone have any movement or feeling in his body. However, LeGrand never let his situation define him. He relearned how to breathe without a ventilator’s assistance and eventually even regained feeling in his body and some movement. Throughout my years in college, I saw the challenges and adversity that he faced. Seeing him still push towards his goals and have such a positive outlook on life helped me realize that I wanted to help people have that same outlook even though they have faced challenges and struggles. I also spent my time at Rutgers volunteering for a mentoring program at a local high school that would help guide students through high school with the goal of earning a full scholarship to Rutgers University. Seeing the positive impact I could have on these student lives further fueled my passion for helping others. During my final year at Rutgers, I was fortunate enough to study abroad in Rome, Italy. I developed a love of travel and learning about different people, cultures, and customs. During that time, I traveled to six other countries, where I was immersed in different cultures and traditions, which helped me learn and grow as a person. After graduating, I moved to Washington, DC, where I attended The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, DC Campus, for my Masters in Clinical and Mental Health Counseling. In 2017 my wife and I moved to Charlotte and loved getting to know the city! In 2020 I started Bright View Counseling in Charlotte, North Carolina, to help those struggling and offer a unique type of therapy and counseling. I wanted to create a practice where I could bring a different twist to the typical therapy approach by involving unique and engaging activities during the session, such as going outdoors for walks and outside sessions, playing games, and doing exercises, including our office dog Charlotte.

With extensive experience and a compassionate approach, I am committed to supporting adults through their mental health journeys. Holding a Psy.D. from Immaculata University since 2016, my dedication to mental wellness spans back to 2007. I specialize in assisting individuals facing challenges such as ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and depression, utilizing evidence-based treatments with a strong emphasis on a person-centered perspective. My goal is to foster a collaborative and supportive environment where clients feel truly understood and empowered. *Specialties •Psychologist *Conditions treated •Anxiety •Depression •ADHD •PTSD •Bipolar disorders •Personality disorders •Anger Management •Behavioural Therapy •Mood disorders •Trauma and PTSD •Behavioral Issues •Chronic Illness •Chronic Pain •Codependency •Coping Skills •Dual Diagnosis •Emotional Disturbance •Grief •Life Transitions •Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum •Relationship Issues •Self Esteem •Sexual Abuse •Stress •Women's Issues •Family Issues •Maternal Mental Health •Men's Issues *Treatment philosophy I use a wide range of approaches to therapy including humanistic, psychodynamic, CBT, and DBT.
