Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LCAS
As a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist (LCAS), I support individuals navigating recovery, and the deeper emotional experiences that often come with it.

Sara Deese
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, MCAP, LMHC-QS
Addiction can feel isolating—but recovery doesn’t have to be a journey you take alone. Whether you're struggling with substance use, compulsive behaviors, or the impact of addiction on relationships, therapy can be a powerful step toward lasting change. I provide a nonjudgmental, supportive space to explore the root causes of addiction, develop healthier coping strategies, and build a life grounded in clarity, connection, and purpose. Together, we’ll work at your pace to create a path to recovery that’s meaningful and sustainable.

Charlotte's position as a major banking and financial hub drives strong demand for therapists specializing in workplace stress, perfectionism, and the particular pressures of corporate and executive careers. The city has grown rapidly through domestic migration, and therapists frequently work with the isolation, loneliness, and adjustment difficulties common among newcomers building community in a fast-growing city. Charlotte also has a strong faith community, and many therapists offer faith-integrated approaches alongside evidence-based treatment for clients who value that alignment. Atrium Health and Novant Health serve as the city's major institutional mental health anchors.
