Create the life you want with care and support

One of my basic approaches to therapy is a cognitive approach. Cognitive therapy is based on the assumption that your emotions and actions are determined largely by the way you think about the world. It is the meaning that you give to an event, rather than the event itself, that determines how you understand life circumstances. Cognitive theory asserts that your thoughts and beliefs determine (or guide) your emotional experiences and subsequent behavior. Through cognitive therapy, you can learn to think differently, experience less emotional distress, and act more effectively even if your circumstances are beyond your control.

I work with teens and adults dealing with a variety of symptoms and disorders including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, divorce, adjustment disorders, behavior, and psychotic disorders. I also provide marriage counseling (or couples counseling) to couples that want to learn new ways to manage conflict. These techniques actually create intimacy and can lead to a more fulfilling relationship.

It is my personal commitment to provide you with excellent counseling services. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology and a Master of Arts degree in psychology . I am licensed by the North Carolina Board of Licensed Professional Counselors as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I am also a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and a member of the LPCANC. I have been married for 13 years and have two sons.

Shannon Haney-Jenkins M.A. LMFT, LCAS

I treat couples, families, and individuals (teens and adults) with a range of challenges including: Anxiety, depression, behavioral problems, mood disorders, communication problems, marital/relationship issues, sexual dysfunction, parenting difficu lties, and family adjustment during and/or after divorce. I also provide family therapy and assist families in healing, improving, and strengthening relationships within families.

Additionally, I am a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist. I work with teens, adults and families dealing with past or present alcohol/substance abuse.

My approach to therapy is to treat the whole person and/or family. I believe that lasting changes are more effectively achieved when a person's problems are understood as existing within the context of relationships rather than within the individual. I use a collaborative approach and place a high value on listening to my clients and their needs. Throughout therapy, I give them the tools and skills that are necessary to implement change in their lives. I believe that we each have what we need within us to heal, be whole, and achieve the changes that we want. In approaching work with my clients, I integrate several approaches including family systems, solution-focused, emotion-focused, structural, and cognitive-behavioral therapies to meet clients' specific therapeutic needs.

I am Licensed as both a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist. I graduated from Appalachian State University with a Masters of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Clinical Addictions Certificate. I graduated from the University of California at Santa Barbara with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and Cultural Anthropology.

Erin Moncure M.S., LPC, LMFT

I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families who are confronted with a wide variety of life challenges, including: anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, eating disorders, depression, marital difficulties, divorce, and difficult life transitions. My primary approaches to counseling are family systems, solution-focused, cognitive, and behavioral in nature. I use an integrative approach of these theoretical orientations.

My counseling practice is influenced by my belief that people can change if they have enough motivation, support, and structure to understand the emotions, thoughts, behaviors, and beliefs which influence their interpersonal dynamics. Change will sometimes be easy and swift, but more often it will be slow and deliberate.

I am currently licensed both as a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am currently an AAMFT Approved Supervisor Candidate. I received a Masters of Science in Marriage & Family Therapy from Fuller Theological Seminary and a Bachelors of Arts in Psychology from the University of Virginia.

Christy Sullivan M.S., LPC

I work with children (ages 3 and up), adults and families dealing with a variety of symptoms and disorders including mood disorders, depression, anxiety, behavioral concerns (i.e. ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorders) psychotic disorders, PTSD, recovery following trauma/illness, and women’s issues (i.e. infertility and postpartum depression). I also work with individuals to make changes in, improve, and cope with a variety of life stresses including relationship, job/career stress, and stress resulting from major life changes including illness. I have specialized training in treating co-morbid disorders of developmental disabilities and psychiatric disorders.

I provide individual and family counseling to address a range of concerns. My approach is person centered and solution focused. I aim to include my client in the process of setting their own goals and discovering the solutions to their problems. I believe that you are the expert in your life and that you possess many strengths that can help you overcome your current challenges. I utilize Cognitive behavior Therapy and similar approaches to help you discover how your own thoughts are impacting your feelings and behaviors. We will work together to restructure those unhelpful thought patterns to improve your feelings and behaviors. Play and art therapy interventions are central to my approach when counseling children and adolescents.

A native of Apex, NC I graduated from Peace College in 2006 with my B.A. in Psychology. I went on to the University of North Carolina – Chapel Hill and graduated in 2008 with my M.S. in Rehabilitation Counseling and Psychology with a specialization in Developmental Disabilities. I completed my internship at UNC hospital concentrating on recovery from trauma and brain injury.
