Edmund Buckman
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC, LCAS
Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck—emotionally exhausted, burdened by anxiety, or repeating the same unhelpful patterns in relationships, work, or self-care. Often, they're high-functioning on the outside but privately carrying a lot of pain, doubt, or confusion. They may be processing trauma, adjusting to a major life change, or working to break free from addiction or longstanding emotional struggles.
What they need is clarity, direction, and a nonjudgmental space to do the work. They’re not looking for surface-level solutions—they want something real. They want to better understand themselves, challenge the beliefs that keep them stuck, and move toward a life that actually feels meaningful.
Their goals vary—some want to build healthier relationships, some want to manage anxiety or heal from trauma, and others just want to feel more grounded and in control. But all of them are looking for growth, relief, and a sense of inner stability.

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.

Jennifer L Abel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I've devoted my career to helping people effectively manage anxiety. Most of the tools you will learn are quick and easy strategies that require very little time out of your busy schedule. You'll learn why your prior methods have failed and what to do differently.
A unique service I provide is allowing you to answer three pages of questions and anything else you want me to know, prior to our first session. I read that, write it on paper, sometimes research (e.g. medications or disease), such that I know you pretty well before we even meet. This gives us a great head start before we meet!

💠 Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) – An evidence-based trauma treatment designed to help you reprocess painful experiences and release self-blame.
💠 Prolonged Exposure (PE) – A structured and compassionate approach to help you safely confront trauma memories, reduce avoidance, and reclaim your sense of safety.
💠 Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – Helps you stop fighting your thoughts and instead live more fully through acceptance, mindfulness, and value-driven action.
💠 Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors (BFRB) Work – Specialized interventions for hair pulling (trichotillomania), skin picking, and nail biting using habit reversal and acceptance-based tools.
💠 Insomnia Treatment – Cognitive and behavioral strategies to restore restful sleep without dependency on medication.
💠 Mindfulness-Based Interventions – Practical techniques to anchor you in the present moment, reduce reactivity, and strengthen emotional resilience.

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.

Winston-Salem is home to Wake Forest University School of Medicine and Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist — one of the most significant academic medical centers in the Southeast — and this concentration of medical training and research deeply shapes the quality and sophistication of its mental health clinical community. The city's tobacco heritage — once the home of R.J. Reynolds — has given way to a growing medical, technology, and arts economy, and therapists frequently work with the identity transitions of a workforce navigating this shift. The city has a large Black community with deep historical roots in the Piedmont Triad, and culturally affirming therapists who work with racial trauma and intergenerational resilience are well represented. Winston-Salem's arts and innovation culture supports strong demand for therapists experienced with creative identity and career-related stress.
