Kendall Clay

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I specialize in OCD, as well as generalized anxiety and body-focused repetitive behaviors. I will help you understand that it is OCD, not you, that is creating these distressing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I primarily utilize exposure and response prevention (ERP) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to work with these diagnoses.

Cheryl Velasquez

Cheryl Velasquez

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I'm a bilingual (English/Spanish) Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over five years of experience across acute psychiatric, school-based, outpatient, and community mental health settings. I'm dedicated to helping individuals find their inner strength and build meaningful, lasting change.

I work with individuals ages 5 and up (virtually) as well as couples, addressing concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, grief, trauma, anger, and life transitions. I believe self-care isn't a luxury — it's a foundation for wellbeing — and that philosophy runs through how I work with every client.

My approach is strength-based at its core, drawing on CBT, mindfulness, DBT-informed, and ACT techniques to help clients identify their own resilience, reframe unhelpful patterns, and build practical tools for everyday life. I work with clients of all genders, and I have a particular interest in women's issues, LGBTQ+ affirming care, and trauma-informed support, shaped by my background in gender studies. I don't talk over my clients — I talk beside them, as a collaborative partner in your process.

I'm fluent in Spanish and welcome clients who prefer to be seen and heard in their primary language.

Therapist

I take a person-centered approach, meeting each client where they are with compassion and respect. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered.

I incorporate Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help you move toward the future you want. Together, we identify your existing strengths and skills, building on what’s already working while exploring what can be done differently to support meaningful change.

This approach emphasizes your present circumstances and future goals, helping you create practical, forward-moving solutions rather than staying stuck in the past.

Ariel Harris

Therapist

Virtual • North Carolina


I believe therapy should be a place where you don’t have to have it all together. Many of my clients are high-achieving professionals who are used to being the “strong one” for everyone else, but privately struggle with relationships, boundaries, confidence, or life transitions. I strive to create a warm, collaborative space where you can show up authentically, gain insight into patterns that no longer serve you, and build healthier relationships with yourself and others. I especially enjoy working with Black women and LGBTQ+ adults and strive to create an affirming, culturally responsive space where clients can show up fully as themselves.
