About Dennisha Pauley

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in the state of North Carolina for the last 6 years. I have worked in mental health for over 19 years. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, trauma, abuse, neglect, family issues, parenting concerns, ADHD, career concerns, relationship concerns, grief and loss, and depression.

My therapy style is supportive, respectful, and warm. I believe that every situation is unique and utilize multiple therapeutic approaches to meet each individual need. Sessions will be tailored to the individual needs and desired outcomes to help support you in reaching your goals.

Taking the first step to engage in therapy is courageous and inspiring and I look forward to working with you and supporting you through that process.

“Great!”

“Dennisha is really intuitive. We've only had 3 sessions and I feel as if she already understands who I am. Her weekly newsletters/posts are really helpful and feel like they were chosen specifically for me. She is helping me with a difficult situation and I feel as if her support is coming from a genuine, constructive place, not that she is being a 'yes' person. I am also grateful she has night sessions, finding time during the day is not usually easy for me.”

“She responds quickly”

“She is the best , taught me boundaries and it help me establish healthy relationships with others. Now we’re on to our next journey.”

“I've been working with Dennisha for several months, and she has been a steady and supportive presence throughout. She's a considerate and experienced therapist who takes the time to truly listen and understand what I'm going through. I appreciate how she offers thoughtful suggestions and coping strategies tailored to my situation. Her calm demeanor and grounded approach make it easier for me to open up about difficult topics. Each session leaves me feeling a little more clear and capable of moving forward. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking compassionate and practical support.”

“She's very empathetic and understanding about my situation. I get support and advice that's useful. I don't feel intimidated or worried about being judged, which is something I have struggled with from prior therapists in my life.”
