Hi I’m honored you’re considering reaching out. My name is Mahkal Mathews, and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS). For over 20 years, I have had the privilege of walking alongside adolescents, adults, and families as they navigate their mental health and recovery journeys.
Clients often share that they experience me as warm, approachable, and genuinely supportive. I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling safe and understood, and I am committed to creating a space where you can show up just as you are without fear of judgment.
I support individuals facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, addiction, relationship concerns, family dynamics, self-esteem, women’s issues, and parenting struggles. My work is rooted in compassion, trust, and deep respect for your unique story and strengths.
Wherever you may be on your journey, I would be honored to walk alongside you and support you in moving toward greater clarity, healing, and balance.

Hello and thanks for reaching out! I am Kristine Nutt and would love an opportunity to have a conversation to see how I can support you in your journey. I grew up in western North Carolina and live in Arizona currently. I'm an LCSW and believe in creating a space where individuals feel safe and supported to work through challenges together. My approach is being real, supportive, collaborative, and tailored to you. I use a variety of modalities including experiential work and practical exercises to go beyond traditional talk therapy. I do not believe in a one size fits all approach.

Hi! Thank you for considering working with me. I am a counseling psychologist based in Charlotte, NC and have been in practice for eight years. My experiences include group practices and university counseling centers, and my clinical areas of emphasis are identity, relationships, DEIB, and grief/loss. To quote Buffy Summers, "The hardest thing in this world is to live in it. Be brave. Live." This quote has informed my approach to therapy (and life). I work with my clients to help them better understand how their individuality, relationships, and society intersect to inform their life. I use Relational-Cultural Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to frame my work with clients and help them develop skills to live a growth-fostering life.

Hello! My name is Lisa and I am dedicated to supporting people who have been told they need to try harder to fit in simply because they are not like everyone else. If you are exhausted from trying to confirm to the expectations of others, but still crave a sense of belonging, I would be honored to help you sort that all out with warm affirming care. It is meaningful to me to support you to live an authentic life!
