Testimonials
"I have broken up with my counselor." I met Amelia in the midst of a huge life crisis. This was December of 2012, and I was a hot mess, looking to leave the life I was in to remake myself in the hopes of becoming happier. From the first moment of meeting Amelia, who exudes a very calm, zen persona, to our very last appointment in January of 2014, she has helped me look inward, to find myself again, and become who I had been before. Amelia doesn't just listen and mouth advice at you, she makes you think, look at yourself, do homework, all while being sympathetic, empathetic, cheerful, supportive and willing to kick you in the butt if you need it. It almost feels like you have known her your whole life, even first meeting her. Her office is calming, comfortable and exudes warmth and personality. She is one of the easiest people I have ever talked to, gently opening up areas I haven't spoken of in 25 years, and helping me to heal the past, to be able to live in today and look forward to the future. She is the calm in the storm. A bright spot in the gray. A charming and reliable voice among the mayhem. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone in crisis. That is why we have broken up, so she can help others. - Fuquay Varina, NC
"Amelia is a wonderful counselor. From the first few minutes of meeting her I felt instantly at ease. She's a great listener, very insightful and gets me to think about and deal with things in ways I hadn't considered. Her office is comfortable and relaxing and I look forward to our visits feeling positive and energized when I leave. I would highly recommend her, as she was highly recommended to me".- Cary, NC
"I recently worked with Lauren for about 8-9 months before I moved to Maryland. I wanted to share my experience with her as a counselor. I highly enjoyed working with her. She is one of the most calm, nonjudgmental, caring, and hardworking therapists I have ever had. I would still be seeing her if I didn't have to move away. She works extremely hard and I could truly tell she cared for my well-being. It's not always obvious to know if a counselor cares about their clients, but I really felt important when I had sessions with her. I am a really stubborn and difficult person, but she never lost her calm and always knew how to react to me. She was such a great fit for me and I really miss her so much. She is so creative and there was never an awkward time. I'm not good with words so I might not have hit the extent of my appreciation for her, but I highly respect her and really valued my time with her. I really miss her a lot."- Raleigh, NC
"I've worked with several therapists in the past, and Amelia has been the first one to give me real tools to be able to cope with years of traumatic experiences. In under a year, I am a different better adjusted and happier person than ever before. Her behavioral approach is much more effective than sitting in a room talking about the same thing over and over again".- Garner, NC
"Julia, I can not thank you enough for being what my daughter needs. She came home excited to tell me about her meeting with you. We are all on a new path to health , or up and down trying I should say. But for the first time I think we are all on the same page, doing it together. My heart is so happy to see her take positive changes. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"- Cary, NC
"Amelia is wonderful. This was my first and only experience working with a counselor. Her relaxed and calming manner made the process of dealing with anxiety a possible journey for me. With her help, I became motivated to use suggested tools to cope with life again. Her therapy sessions are truly empowering".- Fuquay Varina
"The environment, customer service and low wait time, were all high quality. On top of that, Lauren is great!! Thank you for all your advice so far!!!" - Cary, NC
" Donovan- I am normally very picky about counselors and leave after a couple of session because most of the ones I dealt with were either 1) Not LGBT friendly 2) Just not smart enough. Donovan you are both. You are the best therapist I have ever had." -Raleigh, NC
