In-person therapy in South End, Charlotte

A lot of therapists went fully virtual after 2020 and never came back. We kept an office. We think mental health care benefits from having a place to go, so ours is central to how we work. If your search has been turning up only video links, that’s why in-person help can feel hard to find right now.

1514 South Church Street, Suite 101, Charlotte, NC 28203, in South End. The LYNX Blue Line’s Bland Street station is about a five-minute walk, and by car we’re just off I-277, a few minutes from Uptown. The entrance is right on South Church Street: look for our logo on the door.

There’s limited visitor parking at the building, plus street parking in the surrounding blocks. And if parking is ever the thing standing between you and therapy, remember that every one of our therapists also works online.

Come in a few minutes early and head up the stairs to the suite. Our waiting room is private, shared only with our practice, and your therapist will come out to meet you right at your appointment time. Most people are a little nervous the first visit and settle in within the first few minutes. That’s normal, and your therapist knows it.

We want to be straightforward about this: the entrance is at street level, but the suite is up a flight of stairs and the building doesn’t have an elevator, so the office is not wheelchair accessible. Every one of our therapists works by secure video, and fully online care is available: same clinicians, same sessions. If stairs are a concern short of a barrier, tell us when you reach out and we’ll talk through what would help.

Individual therapy ranges from $230–$250 per session and couples therapy from $245–$280, depending on the clinician. Those are identical to our online rates. We’re an out-of-network practice: you pay at the time of your session, we file the reimbursement claims with your insurance for you, and most clients end up paying roughly $50–$125 per session after reimbursement.

We don’t bill insurance plans directly. Like most private practices, we’re out-of-network, but most plans include out-of-network benefits for mental health care, and we handle the claims paperwork on your behalf. It’s worth checking your out-of-network coverage before your first session.

Anytime, in either direction. Video when you’re slammed or under the weather, in person when you’d rather be here. It’s the same therapist either way, so there’s nothing to catch anyone up on. One qualifier: if you’ll be taking a video session from outside North Carolina, whether that works depends on where you’ll be and your therapist’s licensure — mention the trip and we’ll confirm before you go. Otherwise, just let your therapist know what works for you that week.

Sessions run 45–50 minutes, and most clients meet weekly at the start. Weekly rhythm is part of what makes therapy work, especially early on. As things progress, you and your therapist adjust the rhythm together.

That’s the normal starting point. Charlotte has hundreds of therapists, so the hard part is less about finding a therapist and more about finding the right one for you. You don’t need a diagnosis or a preferred method; whether cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic work, or something else serves you best is a question we help you answer, and you can gain insight into that in the first session or two. Tell us what’s going on, whether it’s anxiety, depression, a relationship, or one of life’s bigger transitions, and we’ll recommend the therapist whose expertise fits, with appointment times you can see right away.
