Our counselors offer counseling for teens in Asheville, NC

Hello, I am Lizette. I enjoy nature, crocheting, art and music. I did my bachelor’s at Meredith and did my master’s at UNCW. I worked with immigrants and refugees then switched over to clinical support with the supporting Latino and Hispanics in mental health. I found a passion to work with children and teens. Most teens face a struggle for finding who they are, feeling unsupported or unheard and face some challenges in school and at home. I work with them to find themselves and explore to get to understand who they are and feel confident.

My style is to work with the client and their parents. I do fun and creative activities to get the client engaged like art therapy, play therapy, music therapy. I let the client lead with what they wanna work on, if there is nothing I would have something to do. I also tend to have some resources to help the client grow and give a space for clients. .

It is difficult navigating day to day, and sometimes without realizing we get stuck, frustrated, and lost. You can take a moment to schedule an appointment to heal and explore more about why you feel in that way.

I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with an emphasis in Substance Use Disorders from Colorado Christian University. My experience includes interning at an opioid outpatient facility and I'm eager to bring that foundation into private practice. I work with adolescents and adults up to middle age and I'm interested in treating anxiety, mood disorders, personality disorders, developmental issues, and relationship concerns. I also offer faith-based counseling and help people find meaning and purpose. Everyone deserves a space to process what's hard, whether they're in crisis or just need someone to talk to.

Person-Centered Counseling guides how I build relationships with clients and reminds me that each person is unique. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address faulty thinking and negative beliefs, Emotion-Focused Therapy when issues are emotional, and Attachment theory to explore how family relationships shape the way we see ourselves and the world.

Mental health challenges can be hard and lonely to walk through—I've been there myself, and I'm blessed to have come out of it. I want to help you on your journey. In our sessions, you'll be accepted as you are and free to move at your own pace. I won't push any approach on you; I want you to feel like you have a real say in the direction we go.

Hi, I’m Ava, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LCMHCA) in North Carolina with a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, chronic illness, relationship concerns, grief, trauma, and major life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected from themselves, or caught in patterns of overthinking and self-doubt. I help clients better understand themselves, develop healthier coping skills, strengthen their confidence and boundaries, and feel more grounded and present in their everyday lives.

My approach is person-centered, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s needs. I integrate CBT, DBT-informed skills, mindfulness, somatic techniques, and self-compassion. I specialize in anxiety, chronic illness, life transitions, relationship concerns, and stress, with a focus on overthinking. Clients can expect a supportive, nonjudgmental space.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply ready for something to change, I’ll meet you where you are and work alongside you at a pace that feels right. If you’re ready to build meaningful coping skills and create lasting change, I invite you to schedule an appointment.
