Angela Carter, FNP-BC
Psychiatric Nurse/Therapist, FNP-BC
Greetings! I'm Angela Carter, a devoted Family Nurse Practitioner and the proud proprietor of Covenant Family Care. My commitment to fostering health and well-being has led me to deliver comprehensive, patient-focused care tailored to individuals and families across all life stages.
Armed with a Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University and a diverse background as a bedside nurse specializing in respiratory and neurology critical care, I bring a wealth of experience to my practice. My healthcare journey began with an Associate Degree in Nursing from Forsyth Technical Community College, followed by a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Oklahoma Wesleyan University, culminating in a Master's Degree from Walden University.
At Covenant Family Care, we embrace the convenience of modern healthcare by offering virtual consultations and home visits throughout North Carolina. Before establishing my practice, I served the community at North State Medical Center, focusing on primary care for all age groups.
Beyond my professional pursuits, I actively contribute through volunteer work at local organizations such as Elevation Church-Matthews, Free Clinic Matthews, and Ground40 in Monroe.
My most enjoyable and significant role is being a mother to my 13-year-old son. We delight in attending his soccer games and seizing beach opportunities when our schedule permits. Our days are further enriched by the presence of a 7-year-old Dalmatian and a 9-month-old German Shepherd puppy.
I am dedicated to cultivating strong, trusting relationships with my patients and committed to guiding you toward optimal health with kindness and expertise. Let's embark on this journey together!

Stegall Counseling PLLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCMHC, NCC, LRT, CTRS
I’m different than most therapists out there. What makes therapy with me different?
Well in order to understand that, let me tell you the quick story of why I became a therapist.
After graduating from college, I felt lost. I bounced from job to job, but struggled to find my true passion in life. I was scared I would never find what I was supposed to do in life and this caused me intense anxiety.
I didn’t feel like myself.
My family and friends were really concerned about me because I stopped laughing all the time and instead I wanted to stay home and avoid people.
I kept trying to keep my thoughts positive, but I found that when working in a toxic work environment it was hard to keep my thoughts positive. Instead I would find myself checking my heart rate, having feelings like I want to pass out, and wanting to RUN to my car to get home ASAP. These emotions were exhausting and draining.
My mom was the one who told me that I really needed to go see a counselor to talk about what was going on with me, since I was constantly irritable and never happy.
I struggled with the idea of having to call to set up an appointment.
I thought to myself… “A therapist won’t understand me and she will just judge me!”
After struggling for a couple more weeks with complete misery, I could no longer live with so much anxiety anymore and I made the call to set up my initial appointment.
On my way to the appointment, I almost had a panic attack in the car. I was crying the whole way there so scared of what she might think or say.
Once I arrived, I sat in my car for a few minutes, but decided I needed to go into the office.
I was breathing so hard that I was afraid I was about to have a panic attack.
After checking in with the front desk, I had to get some water and sit down while trying to make myself relax.
Once I sat down in her office, she was the most genuine person I have ever met.
Therapy was nothing like I had expected.
She helped to make me feel accepted and to understand that my emotions are important. She helped me to understand that my emotions help to guide me in life, but when they become so intense they become ineffective.
The more I understood what emotions I was feeling such as sadness, upset, frustrated, angry, irritated, mad, resentful, and embarrassed, the more I realized there were so many things I didn’t know about MYSELF or really didn’t want to admit to myself.
I attended therapy weekly for several months and began to identifying that the job I was working was NOT what I wanted to do for a living AND not where my TRUE PASSION was in life.
I decided that I could no longer continue to live in this state of HIGH INTENSE ANXIETY. I knew that my mental health was first priority.
I found the experience to be the complete OPPOSITE of what I expected it to be. I expected judgement but instead she gave grace, compassion, and empathy. She helped to ask me questions which caused me to be real with myself in what I truly wanted from life – HAPPINESS, COMPASSION, PEACE, LAUGHTER, AND EMPATHY FOR OTHERS.
I realized that by going to counseling personally, I wanted to become a counselor so that I could help others in their personal struggles and for them to know someone is there to walk with them through this thing called life.

Dr. Trey Cole
Psychologist, Psy.D., ABPP, DAAETS
It is my belief that we all have an innate desire to connect, feel heard, and be understood. My therapeutic approach is grounded in this belief, and it is my hope that we will create a meaningful therapy that is validating and encouraging, yet simultaneously challenging enough to be a catalyst for meaningful growth.

Hope I. Hills, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist in NC, Authorized PsyPact Practitioner in 40 states
I have been a licensed therapist since 1987 when I was a professor of Counseling Psychology at the University of Missouri. I've continued to help my clients learn to love and accept themselves, whether in individual or couples therapy, executives and their teams, or women in prison. I pay attention to Body, Mind, and Spirit as we work, as I believe we must recognize the interaction of all three. Clients comment that despite feeling safe with me, they feel challenged to face themselves.
