About Alice McCarter

As a licensed therapist with over two decades of experience in Massachusetts and five years in North Carolina, I specialize in supporting individuals through life’s complex challenges. My practice focuses on helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, and personal growth. I bring compassionate expertise to issues like self-esteem, life transitions, communication struggles, and emotional healing.

My approach is deeply client-centered, addressing a wide range of concerns including workplace stress, midlife transitions, chronic health challenges, and interpersonal dynamics. I’m particularly skilled in supporting women’s issues, caregiver stress, and helping individuals rediscover their sense of purpose and self-worth.

I believe in creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences, develop resilience, and cultivate meaningful personal transformation. Whether you’re facing relationship challenges, managing stress, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I’m committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional guidance.

“I have had just a couple sessions with Alice and I have to say, she has already helped me more than I could possibly think I would have at this point. Alice is caring, an amazing listener and knows exactly how to say things to help you improve yourself. I have been very blessed to have her. <br /> Thank you Alice!”

“Alice is warm, kind and helpful. She listens but offers solutions. She reads and responds promptly to all messages and journals. She sends uplifting messages and suggestions throughout the week. She always communicates regarding her schedule and office hours. I can tell she loves her job and see that she spends a lot of time making sure her clients feel supported and valued”

“Alice is very experienced, kind, nonjudgmental and helpful. She also lets you guide your sessions concerning what you feel like you need to address each week. Highly recommended!!”
