About

A Little Bit About Me/ My Intern

Callie- I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from North Carolina State University and a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Western Carolina University. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to supporting teens, young adults, and adults in building confidence and achieving personal growth. Previously, I served as an Assertive Community Treatment (ACTT) Therapist, where I found great fulfillment in helping individuals recognize their strengths and work toward meaningful, self-identified goals. Danielle- I am passionate about helping children, adolescents, adults, and families recognize their strengths, navigate life's challenges, and build authentic, fulfilling lives. With a background in Strategic Communications and Sociology, I am currently completing my Master of Social Work while working toward licensure as an LCSWA. Before entering clinical practice, I spent several years as an IEP advocate, supporting children and families in navigating educational systems, understanding their rights, and accessing needed resources. This experience strengthened my commitment to empowering others through education, validation, and compassion, while reinforcing my belief that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and accepted exactly as they are. As a clinicians, We strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable exploring challenges and celebrating progress. We view therapy as a collaborative process; a place to find guidance, healing, and encouragement through life’s difficult moments. Callie has experience working with individuals facing trauma, life transitions, behavioral challenges, anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, and ADHD. Our therapeutic approach integrates Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered Thinking, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to support each client’s unique needs and goals.
