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.

Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
A little about me
I’m a therapist who gets how overwhelming this stage of life can feel. You’re juggling pressure, expectations, relationships, and figuring out who you are—all at the same time. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, and I’m not here to judge or “analyze” you.
My style is real, collaborative, and practical. I’ll help you understand what’s happening in your mind and body, and give you tools you can actually use in everyday life—not just in a therapy session.
Why reach out
If you’re tired of overthinking everything, feeling stuck, or reacting in ways you wish you could change, you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
Reaching out is the first step toward feeling more grounded, more confident, and more in control of your life.
Even if you’re not sure where to start—that’s okay. We’ll figure it out together.

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.
