Hello! My name is Stephen and I am a licensed clinical social worker with over ten years of experience providing compassionate, faith-based counseling to individuals in both North and South Carolina. My passion is helping people heal and grow closer to Christ by addressing their mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. I believe that true healing involves nurturing the mind, body, and spirit, and I am dedicated to guiding my clients through their personal journeys of recovery and spiritual growth. I hold degrees in Social Work from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and Winthrop University, and I am committed to creating a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their faith and find strength in their spiritual walk. Whether you're facing life's challenges, seeking emotional healing, or looking to deepen your relationship with Christ, I am here to support and walk alongside you every step of the way. My goal is to help you experience healing not just on a surface level, but in a way that transforms your entire being—mentally, emotionally, and spiritually—so that you can live a more fulfilled and Christ-centered life.

Hi there, and welcome— If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stuck in cycles of worry, or weighed down by sadness, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. Reaching out is a powerful first step, and I’m really glad you’re here. I specialize in helping individuals manage anxiety and depression using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical and evidence-based approach that helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. Together, we’ll identify patterns that may be holding you back and develop tools you can actually use in your daily life to feel more balanced, confident, and in control. My approach is supportive, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. I believe therapy should feel like a safe space where you can be honest, explore what’s going on beneath the surface, and work toward meaningful change at your own pace. Whether you’re dealing with constant worry, low motivation, stress, or just feeling “off,” we can work together to create a path forward that feels right for you. We can communicate through messaging, live chat, phone, or video sessions—whatever feels most comfortable for you. You deserve to feel better—and change is absolutely possible. If you’re ready, I’d be honored to support you on your journey.

Hello, my name is Karen Kavaloski and I am a LPC in New Mexico, North Carolina and in Missouri.
