You Don’t Have to Be “Fixed.” You Just Need a Place to Heal.
This work is tender. But you are not alone. If you’re ready to quiet the spirals of anxiety, untangle the stuck grief, and finally feel like yourself again—now is a good time to begin.
You’re Tired of Being Tired: Welcome to a Space That Gets It
The alarm rings—for the seventh time—and still, getting up feels impossible. Your body is heavy. Your brain is already spinning. You hit snooze again and tell yourself you’ll get it together in five more minutes. You make it through the clutter, the clothes pile, the motions. You spray some body mist because a shower feels like too much today.
And then you go into the world and perform.
No one sees the dread, the racing heart, or the ache in your chest. You smile. You answer emails. You check your smartwatch hoping it’ll tell you that you're still okay. But deep down, you're unraveling. You're exhausted—and even that feels like an understatement.
Maybe you’re navigating trauma. Maybe your nervous system is always on high alert. Maybe you’ve been masking your neurodivergence for years. Or maybe you’re a veteran re-entering civilian life, still trying to find your footing. You may be carrying the weight of family expectations, generational pain, or a lifetime of being told you're “too much” or “not enough.”
At Journey Counseling PLLC, we believe healing isn’t just about symptom relief—it’s about remembering who you are beneath the noise, the shame, and the survival patterns. Our work is compassionate, client-led, and deeply respectful of your story. Whether you're working through trauma, reconnecting with your body, navigating neurodivergence, re-adjusting to life after service, or untangling generational wounds, we’re here to help you return to yourself.

If You’re Functioning on the Outside But Falling Apart Inside—We See You
Whether you're navigating past trauma, present anxiety, or just trying to make it through the day without crashing—you’re in the right place.
At our practice, we work with adults across Gastonia, Charlotte, and throughout North Carolina who are experiencing:
Chronic overwhelm and burnout
Panic attacks, racing thoughts, and sleep issues
Emotional shutdown, numbness, or feeling disconnected
People-pleasing, perfectionism, or feeling like a burden
Nightmares, hypervigilance, and past trauma that won’t let go
Depression and hopelessness that feels stuck in your bones
Maybe you’ve already tried therapy. Maybe you’ve read all the self-help books, downloaded the apps, and listened to the podcasts. But things still feel… off.
It’s not because you haven’t tried hard enough.
It’s because healing trauma, anxiety, and deep emotional pain requires more than just “talking it out.”

Therapy With Us Is a Space Where You Don’t Have to Pretend
You don’t have to show up with it all figured out. In fact, we expect you to come with questions, messiness, and resistance. That’s part of the process. We’re here to meet you where you are and help you discover how to feel safe, grounded, and whole again.
We hold space for your anger, your grief, your faith, and even your laughter. We believe therapy should be sacred, soulful, and real. No masks, no judgment.
Online Trauma Therapy Across North Carolina
Whether you’re in Charlotte, Gastonia, or elsewhere in North Carolina, we offer secure, HIPAA-compliant online therapy that lets you access this support from the comfort of your space.
Many of our clients find online trauma therapy helps them feel safer, more open, and more consistent with care. We’re located at 2922 Audrey Dr., Gastonia, NC 28054. Schedule your first session today.
After-Hours Support That Meets You Where You Are
We use an AI answering system (Sona) to help you get basic info and leave a message anytime—day or night. You can share your name, number, and when you're available, and someone from our team will follow up. Just a heads-up: since this system isn’t fully private, we ask that you don’t include sensitive or personal health information in your message.
Once you’re an established client, you’ll have access to our secure client portal, where you can message your therapist directly from your own device. And if you’re not a client yet but need to share something private or detailed, feel free to use our secure contact form.
Not into AI? No problem—just press Option 1 to leave a regular voicemail.
We’re all about making it easier to reach out—whatever way feels best for you.
