James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
My clinical experience is wide and deep. I estimate I have conducted about 90,000 hours of psychotherapy sessions, including many hours training and supervising other therapists. This experience covers many modes: individual therapy, as well as family, couple and group therapy. My basic orientation is existential and psychodynamic, but I have added much training and experience in other approaches on top of that over the years. I am Board Certified in Clinical Psychology, ABPP, have served 2 terms as a board director and secretary for the American Academy of Psychotherapy, and previously trained young clinical psychologists and psychiatric residents at the University of North Carolina. We keep learning more about how to be effective therapists, and I have aggressively added to my clinical wisdom. I stand ready to work to understand you deeply, and help you profoundly, whatever your current dilemmas.

GPS Counseling, LLC, Georgia Smith-Lyle, MA, LPC-S
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor
Helping others is a passion I have. I love my job and find it very rewarding when I can help others transition, process and emotionally heal from traumatic, stressful or life altering changes in their life. Listening empathetically is key to helping my client. It’s always important for a client to be heard and understand. I’m sensitive to their processing. My approach is direct, making therapeutic suggestions. But one one of the greatest tools a therapist can have is being a good listener and validating their thoughts

Elizabeth Starnes
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S, ATR-BC®, REAT
I work with adults navigating trauma and PTSD, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, and life transitions. My approach is warm, person-centered, trauma-informed, and attentive to the ways experiences are held in the body. Along with conversation, we may use art, visual journaling, writing, movement, metaphor, or other creative practices to explore what can be difficult to express in words. No artistic ability or experience is needed.
Together, we can, at your own pace, explore how past experiences continue to shape your thoughts, relationships, emotions, and sense of self. This work is not about pressuring you to change or telling you who you should become. It is about helping you reconnect with your own voice, develop greater trust in yourself, and discover ways of moving forward that feel authentic to you.
My approach integrates talk therapy with expressive arts therapy, grounded in specialized training in art therapy and intermodal expressive work. This means we actively use modalities such as visual journaling, storytelling, movement, and other forms of creative expression as part of the therapeutic process—not just talking about your experiences, but engaging with them in ways that support deeper understanding and change.
Clients often describe me as steady, down-to-earth, and genuine. I value creating a space where you feel safe, seen, and able to show up as you are.

Dr. Amy Karbasi
Psychologist, PsyD
Living with chronic pain or illness can affect far more than your physical health—it can change your identity, your relationships, your sense of safety, and your hopes for the future. With a strong medical background and years of training and experience treating chronic pain and chronic illness, I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space for making sense of these experiences and finding actionable ways to move forward. My approach is collaborative and individualized, combining evidence-based psychological treatment with an understanding of the complex relationship between the brain, body, nervous system, emotions, behavior, and symptoms. Whether you are struggling with chronic pain, symptoms that persist despite medical treatment, illness-related anxiety, medical trauma, PTSD, sleep problems, or trying to adjust to a life that has changed, therapy can help you feel more capable, hopeful, and empowered to build the life you want.
