Sarah Eisenhauer Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC, LCPC, LPC, AADC
I'm an experienced therapist who is very passionate about working with women who are ready for something deeper than coping strategies — women who are willing to examine themselves honestly and are committed to meaningful, lasting change.
This work often focuses on life transitions, anxiety, identity evolution (self discovery and uncovering true self), enduring relationship patterns and trauma from invalidating relationships (complex or developmental trauma), and the deeper dynamics that shape fulfillment. Often, this manifests as persistent anxiety, restlessness, irritability, loneliness, or a subtle but steady feeling that something is missing- that life should feel more meaningful than it does.
I offer a warm, authentic, collaborative, and attuned space where you don’t have to hold it all together. In our work, we slow down to explore early relational templates, unconscious beliefs, and protective strategies that once served you but may now limit intimacy and growth.
In addition to talk therapy, I also offer ketamine assisted therapy Integration as appropriate, which may be a useful adjunct to deep, transformational work.

Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
You don’t have to keep doing life on hard mode.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, or like your emotions go from 0 to 100 really fast—you’re not alone. College can be a lot, and most people are just figuring it out as they go.
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping you understand what’s actually going on inside so you can feel more in control of your reactions, your relationships, and your choices.
Using practical, real-life tools (not just talking in circles), we’ll work on things like:
managing stress and anxiety
handling intense emotions without shutting down or blowing up
setting boundaries without the guilt
feeling more confident in who you are
You don’t have to have everything figured out to start.
Whether you’re going through something tough or just tired of feeling the way you’ve been feeling, this can be a space to reset, regroup, and move forward in a way that actually feels good.
You deserve support that helps you feel better—not just get by.

Whether past traumas, current stressors, future worries, inability to follow through, or reluctance to take that “next step”...MOTIVATE Counseling & Coaching will help process and develop a healthier understanding of what has occurred in your life, clarify what it is you want, understand the barriers, and overcome them.

Paulina Mendez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSWA, LCASA
I offer grounded, relational online therapy for adults seeking support that feels both practical and deeply human. My work is shaped by community-based practice, systems awareness, and attention to the nervous system and lived experience. It is also informed by ancestral curanderismo traditions, which emphasize presence, attunement, and creating containers where people can soften safely, be witnessed, and feel supported. Online therapy with me is a space to slow down, build skills, and reconnect with yourself, so you can move forward with more clarity, steadiness, and ease.

Lynette Cisneros
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC, LMHC
So, you've made it here today, for many this decision of prioritizing oneself may be long overdue. Initiating counseling can be a challenging step to take and selecting an online counselor, who accepts insurance, and is a good fit can feel quite daunting. I know people search for providers and often go through a few before finding one to begin with or begin again with. This journey which may already be stacked with scheduling conflicts and feelings of vulnerability can quickly become overwhelming. I provide online sessions for adults across NC & FL. Reach out, we'll schedule a quick consultation call, words on a screen only go so far.

Seaford Counseling Services
Counselor/Therapist, M.Ed, LCMHC
Who knew that online therapy could work? Before Covid, I had never dreamed of it! But the research is in: online therapy is every bit as effective as in person! Given the choice, I still prefer meeting in person; however, there are actually some benefits. I learn a lot by seeing how your home is decorated, meeting your small children, and especially your pets. Plus, some clients find it easier to open up as well as apply new skills when we meet on their own turf! So if this is easier, more convenient, or simply your preference, let's do it!!!

Irene Essien-Akpan
Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, PMHNP
My online therapy room is a non-judgmental space that allows my patients to be their true selves, to be open, and express themselves. It is a welcoming space where my patients share their symptoms of depression, anxiety, or trauma that have shaped their lives. A space where individuals with addiction and substance use disorder find new meaning and purpose. My online therapy room is a healing space that allows my clients to be part of their healing journey through talk therapy and medication management.

Raleigh sits at the heart of the Research Triangle alongside Durham and Chapel Hill, and its concentration of biotech, pharmaceutical, and university workers drives consistent demand for therapists experienced with perfectionism, burnout, and the psychological costs of competitive knowledge-economy careers. The region's rapid growth has made Raleigh one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States, and therapists frequently address the adjustment, social isolation, and identity challenges common among transplants rebuilding lives in a new city. WakeMed Health and UNC REX Healthcare serve as institutional anchors alongside a well-established private practice community across North Hills, Midtown, and the Five Points area. Raleigh's growing diversity — with large South Asian, Latino, and Black professional communities — is increasing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
