Self Esteem Therapists in North Carolina

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.

Hi, I'm Emma. I work with people navigating anxiety, big life transitions, and the deeper process of becoming more authentically themselves. My approach blends body-based trauma work (Somatic Experiencing™) with contemplative practice and depth psychology — because real change happens when we work with the body and nervous system, not just the mind. I hold a Master of Divinity from Naropa University and have trained in various bottom-up modalities. Above all, I meet you where you are, and I'd be honored to walk this next part of your journey with you.

I am a licensed therapist in NC. I focus on providing compassioned based therapy that helps people build awareness around patterns, habits and experiences that impacts their mental health.

I am a provisionally licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I have experience working with adults ages 18 and up with substance use and mental health concerns. I am rooted in emotions and values. I utilize mindfulness techniques to help clients become more aware of their behaviors, thoughts, and emotions. I help clients develop responsibility in their lives and communicate more effectively to enhance both inter- and intrapersonal relationships. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). I have experience with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, grief, and stress-related concerns. I am here to be someone for you and to help you gain confidence with you are.

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.

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!
