Description of self/services for directory:
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPCA) at Agape Christian Counseling. I view counseling as a safe place in which we will work as a team to create the change that will help you through your struggles. I can help you process your emotions and learn coping skills in order to create healthy ways of thinking and new habits that will be beneficial in your life.
My areas of interest include grief and loss, depression, anxiety, stress, family issues, and a variety of other issues relating to life and/or mental health. I see both teenagers and adults. I use an integrative perspective in counseling, drawing mainly from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, family systems, and gestalt therapy.
Although I am a therapist at Agape Christian Counseling, not all of my clients are Christians or want to incorporate spirituality into therapy. This is completely up to each client and their own unique preferences. I can offer the incorporation of spirituality and Christian beliefs in my counseling sessions at your request.
If you are going through a hard time or if you are struggling emotionally, professional counseling may be the best way to help you live the life you want to live. I would be honored to come alongside you to help you through this tough time.
Areas that match your field of specialization (i.e. anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, etc.):
Anxiety, depression, grief and loss, bipolar disorder, family issues, divorce, life transitions, peer relationships, school issues, self-esteem, stress, addiction, trauma, and codependency.

At RDT we are a team of therapists providing you with individualized and personal attention. We specialize in working with individuals who experience anxiety/depression, struggle with toxic/abusive relationships or marriages, and who fear that there is something wrong with them. From individual to couples or family work, our therapists excel at helping you have peace in your life by identifying and resolving the core problems. We look forward to meeting you where you are and helping you get to where you want to be.
If traditional talk therapy was not a good fit for you and/or you would like to finally address the root cause of stuck points in a way that aligns with your values, then Christ centered brainspotting might be a great fit! It gently targets and releases what has been stored inside your brain and body. As we invite Christ to enter into these sticky places, things shift and heal which oftentimes results in more systemic balance, a greater sense of peace, elevated resilience, and freedom! Watch your faith grow and pour into others in new ways! For more information, please visit my website or Instagram @COsoulcare.

Hello! I am Kelly Grey, owner of Wellspring Integrative Counseling, PLLC. I earned my Master of Education, as well as, my Master of Arts in Counseling from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I am a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC 67206), a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC 4505) and a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist (LCAS 882).
I am a life-long learner who is passionate about providing individualized, effective support to my clients. I have had the joy of working to support mental health and wellness in my community in different capacities for over twenty years. I believe in a client-led, creative approach to therapy in which the client is offered a clinically informed and spiritually inspired perspective to their unique situation. In addition, tools are provided with encouragement to fully engage in the therapeutic process. In a spiritual sense, I believe there is precious treasure deposited in each individual and it is my honor and passion to help you both uncover and live out this truth. I love working with faith and spirituality as desired and directed by my client. My training and experience are balanced in working with both Christian and non-Christian clients. I am a hope-anchored clinician who holds an unapologetic belief in our ability to transform in life changing, meaningful ways.
My treatment approach is eclectic and integrative, incorporating cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, brief, systems and other trauma-informed and evidence-based treatments in which I have received training. I work effectively with clients who are comfortable with the therapeutic process as well as those who are anxious of, or resistant to, change. Psychoeducation may be used to inform and elicit change as appropriate. Talk therapy will assist in seeking patterns of behavior that are evident in relationship to self/others as revealed in personal narratives. I enjoy using experiential intervention, humor and metaphor to create insight and encourage new ways of relating to self and others. Although the work of therapy is serious and anchored in life experience, there is often great benefit from adopting a creative and playful approach to healing.
Please let me know if I can assist you or a person you would like to refer to my care. Of note, I do not work directly with insurance. I do provide super bills to clients on request to file with thier insurance provider. I am also pleased to offer a sliding scale for clients who qualify per established guidelines. I am always happy to connect and help you decide if I am the right fit for your needs. I am currently accepting both virtual and in person clients so feel free reach out!
