Melissa Casstevens MS, LCMHCS
I am a graduate of Bellevue University with a Master of Science in Clinical Counseling. I provide counseling services to individuals and families of all ages, supporting a wide range of needs including trauma, anxiety, depression, family relationships, life transitions, and grief and loss. I have extensive experience working with survivors of domestic violence and sexual violence. As an eclectic therapist, I draw from a variety of treatment modalities to tailor our sessions to your unique needs. My approach incorporates techniques such as Play Therapy, Person-Centered, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Attachment-Based, Dialectical Behavioral (DBT), and Solution-Focused (SFT). I believe in a non-judgmental and strength-based approach, grounded in the belief that you know yourself best. My goal is to create a collaborative, supportive space where we can work together to help you heal and grow.

TF-CBT, relapse prevention, and seeking safety. My primary areas of practice include working with adults and teens, with most of my history of work involving the criminal justice system, substance use, trauma, anxiety disorders, perinatal experiences, and personality disorders.

I received my Master of Arts degree in the area of Psychological Counseling/Agency
Counseling from Gardner-Webb University in August of 2000. I am a member of the Psi Chi-National Honor Society in Psychology. I have been a licensed North Carolina School Counselor for over 20 years and am a member of the NCSCA. I have over 20 years’ experience working with families, children and adolescents, ranging from four- to eighteen-year-olds. I have served students from a variety of socio-economic, ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds and understand that each
person has a unique experience to be considered when providing counseling services. The range of issues presented during my years as a counselor include, but are not limited to, behavior problems (at home and school), physical and sexual abuse, general anxiety, separation anxiety, grief, self-harm, suicidal ideation, divorce, and development of social skills. I utilize a Person-Centered approach to therapy with my primary theoretical orientation is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, but I also use Reality, Client-Centered, and
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy when they are appropriate.
Melissa Shoemaker LCMHC-A
I received my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Liberty University, and my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Liberty University. I have experience providing support and care to clients of all ages, whether they are struggling with emotional, behavioral, or psychological concerns. These concerns include anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief and loss, behavioral issues, and other areas related to mental health. My primary
method with clients utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Theory (CBT) and a Person-Centered approach designed to create a supportive and trusting environment. It is important to understand that our relationship is collaborative, and we will work together to identify goals and develop a plan that helps you progress toward achieving those goals. I am honored to have the opportunity to walk this journey with you.
Jordan Whitley LCMHC
The primary models of therapeutic intervention that I use are Cognitive-Behavioral Theory (CBT), Behavioral Theory, and Person-Centered. I feel these theories recognize how there are many things that can influence a person’s mental health, whether it be cultural aspects, behaviors, thoughts, feelings, etc. Each of these theories also show that at the end of the day, I am mainly here to help guide your personal discovery and to be a source of support for you. That being said, I am prepared to implement other therapeutic interventions if necessary to help my clients achieve their goals through empowering them and providing them with tools for personal growth. I am prepared to work with a range of issues that include, but are not limited to: behavioral issues at home and/or school, anxiety, depression, social skills development, self-harm, suicidal ideation, physical and sexual abuse, and other specific mental health concerns you feel comfortable working on. Throughout each session, my main goal is to meet you exactly where they are, with unconditional positive regard, so that I can best support you in your therapeutic journey. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from High Point University followed by my Masters of Health Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Catawba College. My formal education has prepared me to counsel individual adults, adolescents, and children; groups; couples; parents; families. I look forward to hearing from you so we can begin your therapeutic journey towards change and healing together.
