While a person can feel better after a good talk with a friend or relative, for moderate or severe emotional distress, this relief is only temporary. Talking with a trained listener helps alleviate emotional distress for good. The counselors in our practice are trained to listen and interact in a way that helps you get to the very root of your emotional concerns.
We offer you an opportunity to face your difficulties constructively and confidently; freeing you to enjoy all the good things life has to offer. Don’t wait another minute. Give us a call. We’ll give you an opportunity to meet with one of our counselors and see if our practice is right for you.

Healing The Hurt Program
"Gilbert Barber Healing The Hurt Program provides a way to honor memories while rediscovering life, hope and courage."
The Gilbert Barber Healing The Hurt Program was started in memory of Gilbert Alexander Barber, killed by a Guilford County, NC Deputy in May of 2001. However, the program will honor, respect and memorialize all those killed by law enforcement.
Established in 2008, the program addresses the special needs of grieving families and friends of loved ones killed by law enforcement. Its fundamental purpose, to provide confidential services through group therapy and counseling. "Gilbert Barber Healing The Hurt exists to provide a friendly, healthy surrounding for families whose lives have been shattered by the death of a loved one by law enforcement."
Families that have suffered the loss of a loved one at the hands of law enforcement bear a burden that is not suffered by others who mourn the loss of a loved one.
After law enforcement kills a loved one, the officer is given time to reflect on the killing, and given access to professional counseling at no cost to the officer. At the same time the family and friends of the victim is not given the privilege to get free or low cost counseling to help them through the grieving process.
