Professional Counselors

Our Approach

The primary focus at Real Talk is the individual client (“you”). We work to empower you and your loved ones to live meaningful, fulfilling lives by helping you explore patterns of thinking, emotional responses, and relational dynamics that may be holding you back. Our therapists partner with you in a collaborative, strengths-based process — not to “fix” you, but to help you build insight, confidence, and lasting change.

At Real Talk Counseling in Charlotte, our clinicians bring a wide range of training and evidence-based methods — including cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, person-centered, and trauma-informed approaches — so that your care is tailored to your needs and goals. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, substance use concerns, life transitions, or seeking deeper self-understanding, we meet you where you are with empathy, respect, and professionalism.

We believe that meaningful growth happens within a trusting therapeutic relationship. This means we listen first, honor your experiences, and work together to help you build coping strategies, reconnect with your values, and enter each day with greater clarity and confidence. Our team’s diverse clinical backgrounds allow us to support individuals, couples, and families through a spectrum of life challenges — always with a commitment to your well-being and long-term emotional health.

Our Services

Counseling is a collaborative process between you and a your therapist. A relationship is developed to help you understand life challenges. This interaction helps you understand your feelings and promotes personal growth.

When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.
