Seaford Counseling Services
Counselor/Therapist, M.Ed, LCMHC
Unmet expectations, promises unkept, breaches in trust, hurt feelings, and failed bids for connection. These add up over many years; and eventually our once-robust marriages land us in the roommate zone. "We just lost each other in the busy -ness of life." Does any of this sound familiar? You are not alone! I have used The Gottman Method to successfully help clients skillfully tackle the hard conversations, rekindle that spark, and then maintain the closeness that we felt way back when we first fell in love and just knew that our partner was "the one!"

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.

Lynette Cisneros
Counselor/Therapist, LCMHC, LMHC
Therapy is not a one size fits all discipline. As an experienced therapist I recognize that adaptability is key. Your provider must be able to move within the space of the session with you as things present. This is where my experience & our rapport becomes invaluable. In my practice I strongly believe this space is for and about you. Our dynamic is intended as a tool to heal with compassion, intentionality and humor. When we can laugh we will.

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.

Kelli Hall
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I’m a multi-state licensed clinical social worker who is deeply passionate about helping people build healthier, more authentic relationships—starting with the relationship they have with themselves.
In my work, I often support individuals who have spent much of their lives over-accommodating, over-functioning, or feeling responsible for others. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to prioritize their own needs without guilt. They may feel chronically anxious, depressed, or worried.
My style is warm, direct, and grounded. I’m not a “just sit and nod” therapist—I’m actively engaged in helping you understand patterns, shift perspective, and develop practical tools you can use in real life.
I believe you don’t HAVE TO do anything - but you do GET to choose. And learning how to make those choices with clarity and confidence can be incredibly freeing.
