About
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCMHCS
Each of us at some point in our lives face painful life situations and challenges, some of which we can navigate alone, but others requiring help. Sometimes family and friends can provide that support but many times having a non-biased perspective is more appropriate and effective. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor, I use appropriate psychological methods used within the field of mental health professionals and integrate the insights of Biblical Truth to help those who are hurting and facing such situations effectively overcome them and move forward to experience a more purposeful and satisfying and life.
I am honored to be the recipient of the 2013 Licensed Professional Counselor Of The Year for North Carolina Award. I am a member of the American Association of Christian Counselors in addition to the North Carolina Association of Licensed Professional Counselors.
Reviews
Helped us through a rough patch
We almost gave up on our marriage, but Wanda showed us how to reconnect. The work was hard but so worth it.
Finally Understanding My ADHD
For years I thought I was just lazy or broken. Wanda helped me see that my brain just works differently and gave me tools to thrive.
Honest and straightforward approach
Wanda doesn’t sugarcoat things but she’s never harsh. She tells you what you need to hear in a way that actually helps.
Relationship anxiety is finally manageable
I used to spiral every time my partner seemed distant. Wanda taught me how to pause and actually think before reacting.
Incredible support through my divorce
Wanda helped me navigate the emotional chaos of my separation with so much compassion. I don’t know how I would have gotten through it without her guidance.
