Existential / Humanistic Therapy
Dr. Joe Rustum
Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I work with high achievers, professionals, executives, and driven individuals who look capable on the outside but feel overwhelmed, self-critical, or stuck in constant overthinking. You may be managing career pressure, anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, procrastination, relationship stress, or difficulty setting boundaries. Even when things look successful from the outside, it can feel exhausting to keep pushing while privately second-guessing yourself.
My approach is practical, direct, and focused on helping you make meaningful changes in your day-to-day life. We will work on understanding the patterns that keep you stuck, building confidence in your decisions, improving boundaries, managing stress more effectively, and creating a healthier relationship with work, achievement, and responsibility. The goal is not just insight, but real progress.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Finding a therapist shouldn’t feel overwhelming—or like a guessing game. At Nour Counseling, we take the time to actually listen before we match you, so you’re not left scrolling through profiles trying to figure it out on your own. We consider what you’re looking for, what you’ve experienced in past therapy (what worked and what didn’t), and the kind of connection you want to feel in the room. We’re also clear about our values—our clinicians are culturally responsive and affirming, and we hold space for clients navigating complex identities and sociopolitical realities without minimizing or dismissing them. Our goal is simple: to help you get connected to a therapist who not only has the right expertise, but who genuinely feels like a good fit.

Christopher McDowell, PsyD
Psychologist, PsyD
I believe that everyone can reach their potential and the happiness they deserve, but we all need help along the way. I utilize a collaborative approach to face these challenges as a team.
I began my career by working with children in foster care for several years in multiple settings. I eventually joined The Home for Little Wanderers for my final doctoral internship, a child welfare agency in the impoverished areas of Boston. I stayed with the Home for 8 years, focusing on psychotherapy, treatment team/service management and coordination, and emergency management. I entered private practice in 2017, working for Collaborations in Clinical Care in Canton, MA. I then moved to North Carolina in 2021, and I currently work in Apex center.

Emily Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, MDiv, PhD, LMFT-S
For over two decades, I have been a student and a steward of the human story. My journey into the healing arts began at the intersection of the soul and the system—first through a Master of Divinity, then a Master of Arts in Marriage, Family, and Child Counseling, and ultimately a PhD in Child and Family Studies. These chapters of my education taught me a singular truth: we do not live in isolation. We are deeply rooted in our attachments, our spiritualities, and the complex social constructs of power and equity that shape our everyday lives.
As a therapist, supervisor, and professor, I lead with courageous dialogue and radical curiosity. Whether I am working with a couple navigating the fallout of infidelity, an individual deconstructing a lifetime of spiritual trauma, or a queer youth seeking an affirming mirror, my goal is to create a space that is as respectful as it is transformative.
I am deeply committed to evidence-based, depth-oriented work. By integrating Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), EMDR, and Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help clients move beyond surface-level symptoms to address the relational and neurological roots of their distress.
One of the greatest honors of my life is serving as a "healer for the healers." I believe that therapists and pastors deserve the same sanctuary they provide for others—a place where they can lay down the mantle of leadership and find their own path to restoration.
When I am not in the therapy room or the classroom, I am often finding my own balance: lifting weights, enjoying live music with my wife, or finding a moment of quiet with a book and my Goldendoodle, Comet.
"The healing space that is generated between therapist and client... it is one of the greatest honors of my life. It never ceases to amaze me."

Matt Vaughn
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC, LMHC
I keep therapy pretty down to earth, even though I have a solid theoretical training behind me. I use humor a lot because I genuinely believe that if you're laughing, you're learning. I can help you understand where your struggles come from, and I'll give you real steps you can take to reach your goals.
I'm confident I can help you work through whatever you're dealing with right now.
