Ancora Compassionate Care Counseling Center

Being a caregiver, supporter, or “the strong one” in your circle can be incredibly meaningful, but it can also be heavy. You show up. You listen. You give your time, your energy, your heart. And sometimes, in the middle of taking care of everyone else, your own needs get pushed to the side.

Maybe you’re feeling exhausted. Maybe you’re overwhelmed. Maybe there are moments where it feels lonely, even when you’re surrounded by people who rely on you.

Just because you’re strong doesn’t mean you don’t need support.

It’s okay to take a step back. It’s okay to rest. It’s okay to ask for help, to talk things through, or to simply have a space where you don’t have to hold everything together.

You deserve care, too—not just for what you do, but for who you are. Call us today: (336) 427-9022.

If you're living with anxiety or depression, navigating the grief of a loss or major life change, or carrying the emotional weight of caregiving, life probably feels pretty heavy and overwhelming much of the time. But your needs, your feelings, and your well-being matter, too.

At the Counseling Center, our compassionate, highly trained therapists offer a safe, compassionate space to process what you're going through—without judgment, and at your own pace. With quick and easy scheduling, in-person, virtual, or walking sessions, most insurance plans accepted and sliding scale pricing available to keep therapy affordable, there's no better time to reach out.

To learn more or schedule a consultation, call (336) 427-9022 or email Megan Cole, LCSW, Director of Counseling Services at mcole@ancoracc.org.

Therapy isn’t just talking: it’s learning how your mind works and how to work with it instead of against it.

Which one of these would help you most right now? If you're feeling ready to get started, give us a call. (336) 427-9022

The symptoms of anxiety and depression aren't always obvious.
Sometimes it looks like high-functioning stress, a loss of motivation, people-pleasing, or just feeling “off.”

If you're feeling this way, you’re not broken--you’re human. And support exists. Reach out today; we offer in-person, virtual, and walking therapy sessions. We accept most major insurance plans and offer a sliding scale for those with a financial need. Call today: (336) 427-9022

We’re excited to share something new at the Counseling Center!

We are now offering Walk & Talk Therapy: a different way to experience counseling that takes your session outside the office (or the telehealth computer screen) and into nature. Being outdoors can also help reduce stress, support mindfulness, and make it easier to open up.

Walk & Talk sessions may be a good fit if you:
• Feel more comfortable moving than sitting still
• Enjoy being outside
• Want a more relaxed, less formal therapy setting

A few important notes:
• Sessions are held in public outdoor spaces, so we’ll talk together about privacy and confidentiality before the first session
• Not all concerns or situations are a fit for this format: if you are a new client, our first session will be in person or virtual to ensure this is appropriate for you
• We’ll help you decide if this option supports your goals

If you’re curious about whether Walk & Talk Therapy could be right for you, reach out! We’d love to talk more.

Working with kids takes a lot of creativity, and can be a ton of fun!

At the Counseling Center, we use games, arts and crafts, books, music, and other engaging activities to help kids feel safe opening up about their feelings.

We work with kids kindergarten age and up, supporting challenges like grief (from loss, moves, divorce and more), anxiety, depression, and beyond.

Every child deserves a place to be heard and understood. Reach out today to see how we can help support you and your child!

You don’t have to reinvent your life overnight.
Growth happens one step, one choice, and one day at a time.
If today gives you the chance to be a little more patient, a little braver, or a little more intentional, take it!
That’s how becoming begins.
