IN-PERSON IN HICKORY NC ONLINE ACROSS NC
Individual Therapy for Women in Hickory, NC
Tailored, confidential counseling to help you break free from anxiety, burnout, and over-functioning. Available in-person in Hickory or online across North Carolina.
If you are exhausted from masking, over-giving, or trying to manage everything on your own, you belong here.
As women, it is incredibly easy to let our own needs slip to the bottom of the priority list while we take care of everyone else. Over time, that constant pressure turns into chronic stress, high-functioning anxiety, and deep burnout.
In my practice, I provide a collaborative, neurodivergent-affirming space where you don’t have to perform or keep it all together. Together, we will work to unpack the root of your anxiety, establish sustainable boundaries, and help you reconnect with who you are outside of what you do for others.
How We Can Work Together:
In-Person Sessions: Come sit on the couch at my comfortable, private practice right here in Hickory, NC.
Online Therapy: Skip the commute and meet with me virtually from anywhere in North Carolina using a secure, confidential video platform.
You don't have to navigate this transition alone. Scroll down to the form below to request your initial intake session, and let's take the first step together.
Therapy Tailored for Your Reality
If you're collapsing under the weight of trying to handle everything on your own, you are in the right place. I’m here to help if you are currently dealing with:
High-functioning anxiety and a relentless inner critic that won't shut up.
Chronic burnout from always being the one who takes care of everyone else.
Resentment and guilt from people-pleasing and having porous boundaries.
Deep overwhelm from navigating late-diagnosed or suspected ADHD/Autism.
Feeling lost during a heavy life, career, or relationship transition.
about me
Hi, I’m Cindy.
I don’t believe therapy should feel like a cold, clinical interview. I know how heavy it is to carry the invisible load of anxiety, over-functioning, and masking. My goal is to provide a soft, real place where you can finally take off the armor and just be yourself. We will work as equal partners to help you find your footing, build boundaries that actually stick, and design a life that feels sustainable to you. Want to get to know me better?

Telling you to lower your expectations
-
I am a fully self-pay, direct-care practice and am not in-network with any insurance panels. This allows me to provide highly personalized care without a corporate entity dictating your session limits or clinical diagnoses. If your plan allows for out-of-network benefits, I can provide a monthly statement (superbill) for you to submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement.
-
Transparency is core to my practice values. A standard 50-minute individual therapy session is $195 and your Comprehensive Clinical Assessment/Intake is $250. Because I follow a request-to-book structure, a deposit of $100 is collected to secure your dedicated spot on my calendar during your online onboarding process, and the remaining balance is processed automatically at the time of your appointment.

Yes, absolutely. I understand that life can get chaotic, stressful, or overwhelming. If you have a scheduling conflict, bad weather, or just want to stay in your comfort zone at home, we can easily pivot your scheduled Hickory office session to a secure, HIPAA-compliant virtual video session.

Once you click the link here to request your spot, I will personally review your intake request within 48 business hours. If we are a great therapeutic fit, I will email you a secure link to set up your online client portal, complete your digital onboarding paperwork, and pay your deposit (takes less than 10 minutes). Once that is done, we will officially lock in your calendar date!
