It exists as a safe space for you to speak your truth, dig deep, change toxic patterns, heal emotional wounds, and build courage to forge onward in exciting new directions.

We offer support for clients in need of comprehensive immigration evaluations, EMDR, and one-on-one trauma therapy for those dealing with divorce or other relationship-related challenges.

Neither couples’ counseling nor family counseling are currently offered.

Meet Althia

I am a North Carolina Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) and a South Carolina Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), practicing virtually and in office. Fluent in Spanish, I have been offering bilingual mental health services since 2005. I am committed to helping my clients reach their goals, and I am so grateful to have the privilege of walking beside my clients as they grow to become happier and stronger versions of themselves.

“As an immigration attorney, I have worked with numerous mental health professionals over the past 10.5 years and I can say that Ms. McLaughlin is among the best. I always feel comfortable referring my clients to her for evaluations. Ms. McLaughlin’s immigration evaluations are the most thorough and comprehensive I have received, and are a great asset to my clients in preparing the strongest case possible.”
