Our counselors offer counseling for teens in Fayetteville, 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.

Hi, I'm Adrianna Garcia, MSW, LCSWA, in North Carolina with experience in behavioral health, healthcare, and community-based settings. Before becoming a therapist, I was a student-athlete, which gave me a personal understanding of pressure, discipline, balance, confidence, and resilience. I work with teens and adults who may be dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationship concerns, low motivation, or feeling overwhelmed and stuck. Many are looking for a safe and supportive space to talk, better ways to cope, and guidance as they work toward feeling more confident, balanced, and in control of their lives.

My approach is supportive, practical, and centered around you. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing to help you build coping skills and create realistic goals for change. Therapy with me is a comfortable, judgment-free space where we work at a pace that feels right for you.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, especially when you're already carrying a lot. My goal is to help you feel heard, supported, and comfortable throughout. You don't have to have everything figured out before you begin. If you're ready to work toward positive change and a healthier, more balanced life, I invite you to schedule an appointment.
