Aimee Callicutt

Aimee Callicutt

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


My ideal clients are thoughtful, anxious, highly-sensitive, tender-hearted, (and maybe a little weird) humans who have spent years navigating anxiety, identity, trauma, and the tangled gravity of family, culture, or religion. They come in feeling hypervigilant, burnt out, disconnected from their bodies, or unable to fully rest, even after building a life that fits better. You may be looking for ease, connection, and space to exist without bracing for impact. I offer a grounded, collaborative space to untangle the past, soften survival mode, and help you move toward sleep, ease, embodiment, and a life that feels more like home.

A little about me, your groovy new therapist:

I am originally from High Point, NC and studied English Language and Literature as well as Pedagogy and the Mind as an undergraduate at East Carolina University. I went on to work for East Carolina University full time while also completing my Masters Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. At the end of my graduate career, I studied abroad in Spain and Portugal and subsequently moved back to High Point, North Carolina. I now live in the Triad area practicing as a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist, and National Certified Counselor. In my free time, I love to spend time with my husband, Shanon, our tortie cat, Sacred Jewel, and our silly weenie dog, Huckleberry. I like to draw, paint, collage, and write in journals. I also like philosophical books, comedy, unique cinema, spooky & self-help podcasts, crafting, and occasional gaming. I'm always down for a deep conversation about the universe, nostalgia, eclectic music, a good laugh, and some introspection. I can't wait to hear your story.

Hi, I’m Destiny. I'm a licensed psychotherapist who believes therapy should feel like a conversation with someone who truly understands you. I work with adults who are feeling anxious, depressed, disconnected, overwhelmed in relationships, have experienced trauma or just don't feel like themselves lately. I use evidence-based approaches to help you untangle what’s weighing you down and reconnect with your happiest, empowered self. If you're ready for therapy that’s both supportive and real, I’d love to meet you.

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


Congrats on taking the first step in your mental health journey! My name is Shaquana and I believe mental health is just as important as your regular doctor appointments. Bringing Mental Health Awareness to others is a passion of mine because I understand first-hand the therapy process can be scary. My ideal client is a person who is ready to embark on their wellness journey, someone who may be scared of the process, yet willing to begin. I am here to encourage individuals to open up to their truths, achieve happiness within themselves, and to feel and be great!

I primarily utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person Centered Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. I work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues providing services that span across multiple areas including self-esteem, anger/anger management, depression, anxiety, stress management, relationship issues and more.

This mental health journey can be intimidating but you don't have to take this journey alone. The stigma surrounding mental health can also make it difficult to start therapy, and I am here to let you know that in the safe space of therapy the stigma does not exist. If you are ready to start your journey or you are unsure feel free to contact me today!
