You have taken a brave first step in acknowledging the ways in which you may benefit from support. Essence of Empowerment is a person-centered, trauma-focused private practice located in North Raleigh. We support adolescents, adults, and couples in all types of relationships in reducing mental health symptoms and improving quality of life. 


At Essence of Empowerment, we support a variety of diagnoses including Anxiety, Depression, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and more. We prioritize creating a safe and inclusive environment for all, and prioritize caring for members of diverse communities including marginalized populations and members of the LGBTQIA+ community.


Each of our therapists provide culturally responsive, LGBTQIA+ affirming care and specialize in different populations and needs. We celebrate all identities, abilities, and intersectionality.

 

We are currently offering virtual and in-person therapy. Please verify with your insurance provider that they cover virtual therapy if you're interested.

Individual therapy doesn't have to be intimidating. We will offer you the space to discuss whatever you need. If you don't know where to start, we will explore together and identify goals for therapy.

Although we don't offer family therapy, we recognize that family can be an important part of your support system. If you would like to invite your family (biological or chosen) to a session, please let us know. We can discuss how to incorporate them into your care.

Our identities often shape how the world views us and, therefore, how we navigate the world. With this understanding, we have specific interests and experience in working with people who are members of the LGBTQIA+ community and with individuals who are gender non-conforming. Our therapists clinical experience includes providing individual therapy, gender-affirming services and identity exploration.

Anxiety can be a very helpful tool in our lives: It helps keep us motivated, prepared, attentive, protected, and connected with others. It is when we begin to experience anxiety as persistent, distressing, and without relief that we should tune in and seek help. Each of our therapist's are trained in multiple modalities to treat anxiety including, but not limited to, CBT and mindfulness.
