Angela Hicks

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Welcome, and thank you for taking this courageous step toward your well-being. Seeking support is often the first step toward reclaiming your story.

My name is Angela, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over a decade of clinical experience supporting children, teens, and adults.

Drawing on more than ten years of practice across both outpatient and inpatient settings, I partner with clients to weather life's most significant hurdles, whether you are managing anxiety, navigating a major life change, working through family dynamics, or facing an acute crisis.

Therapy isn't about fixing who you are; it’s about discovering who you can become. My approach is rooted in compassion and evidence-based care, tailored to meet your unique needs and goals. By blending these strategies with collaborative, supportive guidance, we will work together to help you reshape unhelpful patterns, navigate transitions with confidence, and step fully into your potential.

You don't have to navigate it all alone, so let's take the next step toward living your very best life together.

Whether it’s the weight of anxiety, depression, trauma, or the pressure to keep everything together, I help clients slow down, make sense of what’s happening inside, and start building a life that feels calmer, stronger, and more intentiona

Anah Wallace

Anah Wallace

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Hi there! Welcome to the personalized therapy services that you've been searching for. My name is Anah and I am a dedicated licensed clinical social worker. This means that my educational background has inspired me to provide services that address the overall wellbeing of clients including biological, social, mental, systemic, and spiritual factors contributing to a client's circumstances. I specialize in working with women of various ages. Navigating womanhood, as early as teen years, can feel overwhelming at times. Between academics, relationships, family pressures, identity development and life transitions, it’s easy to feel misunderstood, stuck, or emotionally exhausted. As a fully licensed clinical social worker, my goal is to provide a warm, supportive, and empowering space where women can feel safe being themselves while learning healthy ways to cope, grow, and heal through the integration of evidenced based therapy and practical faith-based biblical principles that holistically address mind, body, and spirit. Together, we will work to build confidence, improve emotional well-being, process complex trauma, manage stress, and strengthen relationships. I believe therapy is a partnership with clients where we get a chance to explore strengths, skills, and resources as a team to thrive, not just survive mental health challenges.

Catalina Valencia

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person

233-A Merchants Circle, Hampstead, NC

I am a dual board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Certified Nurse Midwife, with graduate education from Duke University and East Carolina University.

I am passionate about providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care and have a special interest in supporting women across the lifespan, as well as veterans, military spouses, and children navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and life's many transitions.

My connection to the military community is both professional and deeply personal. In addition to my clinical training, I have spent more than 20 years as part of a military family. This experience has given me firsthand insight into the unique sacrifices, resilience, and often unseen challenges faced by service members and their loved ones. It has strengthened my commitment to providing care that is empathetic, respectful, and grounded in an understanding of military life.

For the past 12 years as a Certified Nurse Midwife, I have had the privilege of caring for women throughout every stage of life, supporting not only their physical health but also their emotional and mental well-being. It has been an honor to walk alongside women during some of their most meaningful and vulnerable moments, and I am grateful to continue that work by helping individuals achieve greater mental wellness and resilience.
