MA, LCMHCS, LMFT,
AAMFT Approved SupervisorHi. I’m Carol and I enjoy helping individuals, couples or families who find themselves struggling in life and relationships. I feel that our working relationship is very important and strive to earn your trust and create a safe place to dive deeper. I love helping people connect the dots from the past to the present and explore their stories using evidence-based models of therapy. I feel strongly that deeper and more holistic approaches to a therapy journey create more fundamental and long-lasting change.Clinical Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Experiential Therapy Training
As a certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist, I am very passionate about teaching this model of therapy to whomever may benefit from this approach – new therapists, counselors new to this approach, marriage and family therapists, pastors or pastoral counselors. This evidence-based model of therapy proves to be transformative on a deep level – getting to and healing the roots of wounds that may impact you or your clients today. Through a group or workshop setting, I love the power of developing the person of the therapist. Group training offers the opportunity to learn these approaches to therapy and look at your own story for personal growth.
Trauma
I have a special interest in gently helping you explore the impact of the hard experiences you may have had that impact you today. We will look at all aspects of your life that have shaped you, at your pace and help you heal and find peace and freedom in this journey. This can take place in individual or couples therapy.
Or, you may be interested in getting deep healing through more intensive group therapy. No matter the level of trauma, exploring with others in a group may the right setting for you. If you feel like you are alone in your struggles, a group can be a powerful and supportive environment in which to heal.
Addiction
Addictive behavior can be a block to living the life you want to live – there is no shame in admitting you may struggle in this area. I love to help people explore addictive patterns and the roots of these that may have come (in part) from adverse childhood experiences. In addition, I welcome helping those who have significant others caught in the web of addiction heal from the wounds this disease creates in relationships.
Christian Counseling
As a Christian, I am uniquely prepared to integrate your faith into our therapeutic process. Knowing that many have been wounded spiritually or have other spiritual perspectives, I whole-heartedly respect your beliefs and worldview. It is my honor to walk with you, respecting your perspective – this is your journey.

Welcome!
My name is Cynthia Morris. I specialize in stories of harm, childhood trauma and the impact it has had on your heart and how you relate to yourself and others. Together, we can explore in honor and kindness. I have had the privilege of working with a culturally diverse group of people and enjoy working with men, women, families of teens, and groups to address issues such as:
childhood sexual abuse
emotional abuse and neglect
depression and anxiety
fear and anger
shame and sadness
grief and loss
overwhelmed with emotion
numb to emotion
past or current hurts
spiritual concerns
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate in the state of North Carolina. I hold a Master’s Degree in Counseling from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. My clinical experience comes from a residential women’s addiction facility and Carolina’s Healthcare System. The people I had the privilege to work with were entrenched in stories of past and present trauma, abuse, and harm. To prepare further for working with trauma, I completed a four week specialized training in Trauma Focused Narrative Therapy at The Allender Center in Seattle. This work is experiential and integrates your mind with memories of the trauma, abuse or harm that is stored in your body. The result of this is increased freedom for living. I also integrate DBT skills training to help soothe you in your body and mind while learning effective relationship skills.
Ultimately, there is always hope! Are you willing to do battle with what has broken your heart? Reaching out to a counselor may seem daunting. Dig deep, courage is there! I welcome your questions and the opportunity to learn your story. My hope is that the work we do together enables you to embrace pain in a way that increases your capacity for true joy, live with more freedom, enjoy deeper relationships, and leave your unique and beautiful mark on the world.

Welcome to SureHope! My name is Jessica Winebarger and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in the state of North Carolina. Thank you for considering me to be your therapist. I strive to create a caring and non-judgmental environment in which individuals can safely process their experiences and emotions and develop skills that assist in finding healing and freedom in their lives. I specifically have a passion for helping teens and women find healing and freedom from trauma, anxiety, and depression.
I offer both individual and family therapy. I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) as the framework for the sessions, but also integrate trauma-informed techniques, mindfulness and relaxation skills, and art therapy techniques. My goal is to individualize the therapy sessions to what my client needs and connects with most. Throughout all of my therapy, if my client is interested, I center the psychological concepts and techniques in scriptural truth and biblical principles.
I hold a Masters of Arts degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University and I am EMDR trained. My previous experience includes working with families impacted by domestic violence and working with children under the age of 18 in crisis. I provided both group and individual therapy for these children in an intensive program that addressed the holistic needs of the children and their families.
If you would like to hear more about the services I provide or would like to schedule a virtual appointment, please contact me at [email protected] or (704)729-4979. I would be honored to walk alongside you in your journey of healing and growth.

Prior to becoming a Licensed Professional Counselor I worked for fourteen years as a Pastoral Counselor for a nonprofit organization and working extensively with men dealing with problematic sexual behaviors and relational problems.
