Currently accepting new clients for in person and telehealth appointments. Hello and thanks for checking out more about me! Lets learn how we can work together. No matter where you are at in a life journey things can become difficult. In our work, we will integrate your knowledge, insight and expertise of your life with my perspective, to challenge - in a safe way - the thinking and automatic thoughts that so quickly come to your mind when faced with situations. The great thing is, those thoughts can be modified, but much like a muscle, it requires a consistent effort, and a willingness to try new approaches - it may be a little tough in the beginning. We will focus and learn to: Identify thinking patterns – developing an awareness of how you think about yourself, circumstances and outcomes and gain insight of where you may be critical and the unhelpful ways of how you relate to who you are Take the time to reflect – while hard to do in the busyness of life, looking inward helps build awareness of emotions and to explore what’s going on. Clarity in thinking and discovery of what really matters will result in those moments Become curious – life is a journey full of twists and turns; embrace what is presented and yet be mindful of the present moment Add self-care and compassion into your life – let’s work on increasing your ability for self-kindness and the process of acceptance Develop a growth mindset – no matter where you are emotionally, physically, or how old or young you are, we can expand in areas of life and improve in ways of relating and achieving what is possible or even ….what may seem impossible If this sounds and feels interesting to you, let’s begin with a complimentary 15-minute telephone conversation to determine how we can work together and the next steps.

Thank you for considering Sahas Counseling for your mental health needs and I look forward to working with you. I am currently offering in person and telehealth services to residents in NC, and telehealth only for SC residents. Everything you need to heal is already within you, and my work with you will help build motivation, awareness, confidence, and understanding that nurtures these strengths that exist, but are difficult to see when external and internal challenges are faced in life. Not everyone is the same and not one particular treatment model will be the best fit. Therefore, I will meet you where you are at on this journey towards healing, and provide quality of care that will be person centered and tailored to your specific needs. I have a BA in Psychology, Masters in Social Work, and have a 200-HR RYT certification. I have been working in the mental health field in both inpatient and outpatient settings over the past 16 years. I have participated in mental health and trauma sensitive yoga trainings to provide more than just talk therapy during sessions. I mostly have experience working with adults, older teens, Veterans, families, and couples. If you are a LCSW-A looking for clinical supervision, I can also help by providing the supervision hours necessary to be fully licensed and become the clinician you want to be. I know there is an end goal when entering therapy, but the journey to that goal is just as important. We will work together to make that path you desire to be on.

I've always been someone who genuinely enjoys getting to know people beyond the surface. I believe every person's story is unique, and I approach each client with curiosity rather than assumptions. Whether we're celebrating a major milestone or recognizing the small victories that are easy to overlook, I believe progress deserves to be acknowledged. I strive to balance empathy with honesty. I'll meet you where you are while also gently encouraging you to grow at a pace that feels manageable. I don't believe therapy is about "fixing" people. I believe it's about helping people better understand themselves, recognize their strengths, build self-trust, and develop the confidence to navigate life's challenges. I also don't believe therapy has to feel overly formal or intimidating. Healing can include laughter, moments of lightness, and even a little humor when it's helpful. Life asks us to wear a lot of different hats and often leaves little room to simply be ourselves. I hope therapy can be one place where you don't have to perform, just show up as you are. I am especially passionate about working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families, and I strive to create an affirming, culturally responsive environment where individuals of all identities, backgrounds, and family structures feel welcomed, respected, and supported.

Have you been struggling with anxiety, overachieving, low self-esteem and relationship issues, but found traditional talk therapy hasn't provided the relief you are looking for? I am passionate about holding a non-conventional healing space for highly sensitive, people pleasers. Most clients I work with appreciate the creative, holistic, pagan-friendly and somatic focused container that I offer. During our sessions together we will gain a deeper understanding of your struggles through inner child work and processing how symptoms uniquely show up in your body. With more self-understanding we can build a greater mind-body connection and grow your innate intuition. Through these steps I hope to empower you to create the life you want and love yourself, deeply.

Cody is a North Carolina LCSWA at Lifescapes Counseling Associates, PLLC in Apex, NC. He works with adolescents and adults as they navigate life’s transitions, challenges, and opportunities for growth. He earned his Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from UNC Greensboro, his Master’s degree in Occupational Therapy from Winston-Salem State University, and his Master of Social Work degree from UNC Charlotte. Before becoming a psychotherapist, Cody spent 10 years working as a pediatric occupational therapist in early intervention, school-based, and clinic-based settings. This experience gave him a unique understanding of the nervous system, development, behavior, and the ways our environments can influence our mental health. He brings this perspective into his work with college students, recognizing that mental health is influenced not only by what happens internally, but also by relationships, routines, expectations, and the environments in which we live and learn. Cody enjoys working with college students who may be navigating anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, autism and other neurodivergent experiences, identity development, relationship challenges, emotional regulation, or the transition toward greater independence. He understands that college can be an exciting time of new experiences while also bringing pressure, uncertainty, and the challenge of figuring out who you are and what you want your life to look like. Cody grounds his work in a person-centered approach where clients are accepted, respected, and encouraged to be themselves. He uses a blend of cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to help clients better understand themselves, build practical skills, navigate challenges, and move toward their goals. He is honored to work with individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community, autistic individuals, and individuals with ADHD. Outside of the therapy room, Cody enjoys reading, spending time outdoors, being with his family, and recharging in quiet moments. Population Served: Adolescents, College Students, Adults, and Parents Specialty Areas: Anxiety and depression, OCD, ADHD and neurodivergence, autism, emotional regulation, life transitions, identity development, LGBTQIA+ community, relationship challenges, and adjustment to college and adulthood

With over 25 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges, I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy tailored to each client’s unique needs. I especially enjoy working with college-aged clients, helping them navigate academic pressure, career exploration, internship and job-related stress, and major life changes with greater confidence and resilience. My primary approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which is highly effective in treating anxiety, depression, and the stress that often comes with new life transitions. My goal is to create a supportive, down-to-earth space where you feel understood, supported, and equipped with practical tools to move forward.

As a licensed health psychologist, I provide support to the whole person, not one condition, and consider the biological, psychological, and social factors that may enhance or get in the way of your satisfaction in life. I seek to foster a collaborative, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment so that we can work together to create and implement a plan that leads to fulfillment. While I can assess and diagnose a wide range of conditions through assessment and therapy, I am passionate about supporting you in answering the larger questions, like, "What does this mean for me in my life? How can I make sure that my behavior matches what I value?" My goal is not about feeling better, it's about feeling fulfilled. Let's get started!

I’m passionate about helping college students navigate the challenges that come with this stage of life. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling with depression, facing family stress, or adjusting to a major life transition, I strive to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered. You don't have to have everything figured out—we can work together to help you build confidence, develop healthy coping skills, and move toward a life that feels more balanced and fulfilling.
