Engaging in therapy is an important commitment and can be difficult to fit in with the rest of life's responsibilities. Perhaps you've tried therapy before and found it unhelpful, or worry that constant engagement in therapy is required for lasting change. Trying to cope with the aftermath of trauma, or the way anxiety symptoms can disrupt a day, or having the same fight again and again with a partner can seem to take all of your energy and motivation. Life is often stressful and chaotic, and the times when we feel most stretched thin are the times we need the most support and change. I believe the best outcome of therapy is graduating from therapy - knowing you now have the tools to do what YOU want to do in life. I have spent most of the first 10 years of my career as a Psychologist in the VA, which has allowed me to obtain expert training in effective therapy protocols that produce quick, lasting results - so you can get on with life. Your goals are reachable - we just need to find our way there. Every person's path is different, and I look forward to walking with you on yours. I use effective, proven tools from CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based approaches to guide both individuals and couples toward their chosen destinations.

Sarah Dietz
Psychologist
Wilmington, NC

Dr. Dietz's work as a psychologist is rooted in the belief that there is healing power in connection and in sharing one’s story. She works to provide an affirming space that allows clients to explore their experiences and challenges in a more nuanced and compassionate manner. Human beings have an innate need to feel seen and understood. In an increasingly isolating world, therapy offers clients the opportunity to feel less alone in their struggles, while also offering practical coping skills and strategies for growth. Sarah adopts a collaborative approach with clients, to ensure therapy is addressing goals that are valuable and relevant to each individual. Sarah is intentional about approaching clinical work with a multicultural lens as a means of acknowledging and honoring all aspects of clients’ identities and lived experiences. Sarah utilizes a trauma-informed and grief-informed framework to avoid pathologizing normative reactions to trauma and loss. Sessions will often include psychoeducation to help clients better understand and contextualize their challenges, experiences, and reactions.

Greensboro, NC

Welcome! I'm Shannon. I'm glad you're here, and acknowledge that connecting with a therapist is no easy step. Thank you for having the courage to contemplate connecting. For me, who you are - right now, in this moment - matters, is important, and is enough. Your voice matters; your story is important and set-apart; I wholeheartedly believe you are doing the best you can with what you have; and, I know you want to be the best possible version of You. I also know that change is hard. Taking steps towards one's best self often means looking into the corners of our lives; saying things aloud we've spent years only saying to ourselves; and, being willing to adjust our story from one filled with "if onlys" and "should'ves", to one of acceptance for our enough-ness then, and now. Change - it's not easy and can be uncomfortable, so it's my job to deeply listen; to affirm your experience; and, to create a space filled with reverence, safety, humility, loving-kindness, gentle challenge, and gratitude for your willingness to explore together. I will listen, if you are ready to share.

I am the Adultingcounselor! Let me help you figure out this thing called "Life". Going through a battle on your own is the norm (for some of us) but are “you” ready to change that narrative and create the life you deserve and desire. As you are adulting, we face hardships, both big and small. I believe that being an adult doesn’t stop you from being trapped/stuck in situations that are sometimes hard to face or get out of. Unfortunately, if these issues aren’t addressed, they can and will control our lives. When you change your thoughts, you change your life! We will discover your concerns about your purpose, both personally and professionally. Exploring and identifying your true self and meaning in life. Let me help you understand and manage unresolved issues, such as stress, burnout, financial stress, loss of sense of self, and more. Helping adults (18-30) navigate through counseling successfully, learn skills, and accomplish the life they want to live is my passion. We can’t stop how life happens, but we can change how we view it. If this is you, a family member, or someone you know. Let's get started today!

As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), I work with clients ages 12 and up who are ready to grow, heal, and create meaningful change in their lives. I have a passion for working with teens and college students, women navigating divorce, men working through intimacy concerns, and individuals facing major transitions in their careers, families, and relationships. I support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-doubt, as well as those who simply feel “stuck” and want more clarity and confidence. My style is warm, authentic, and conversational. I believe therapy works best when you feel comfortable, understood, and even able to laugh along the way. I use approaches such as CBT, IFS, and DBT skills, along with practical mindfulness tools and self-esteem work to help you feel more grounded and empowered. I offer in person and virtual. Life doesn’t come with a manual — and sometimes we all need support finding our footing again. I am deeply person-centered and value honesty, compassion, and collaboration. Together, we will work toward understanding your patterns, strengthening your confidence, and helping you build a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.

Getting started can be overwhelming. My goal is to help you feel as comfortable as possible so we can go at your pace. I specialize in working with clients with anxiety, ADHD, trauma, and addiction. Many of my clients have tried to cope with difficult life changes by pushing their feelings away or finding short-term coping mechanisms that serve as a distraction. My role is to help people listen to and manage their emotions without feeling overwhelmed or ruled by them. Being personally in recovery from alcohol helps me understand and empathize with what you’re going through because I’ve probably been there too. I like to break down clinical approaches to collaboratively determine the best fit for each person’s unique goals. I incorporate elements of neurobiology, cognitive behavioral therapy, and schema work to help people better understand themselves and make meaningful changes in their lives. If you're not sure what you're looking for yet, that's okay! Feel free to reach out to set up an introductory phone call to see if we're a good fit.
