Kathleen Neiswonger

Kathleen Neiswonger is a licensed clinical mental health counselor in North Carolina (credential NC LCMHC 10727) with four years of professional experience. She supports people who feel stuck, drained, or overwhelmed by emotions that conflict with their values and goals.

Some clients arrive feeling an emptiness where ambition and anticipation once lived - as if the inner flame that fueled dreaming and goal-setting has been reduced to an ember. Others become entangled in guilt and shame, or find that symptoms of mental illness make daily life feel like a series of difficult tasks rather than meaningful moments.

Kathleen works with a range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, anger management, bipolar disorder, ADHD, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.

Her background includes teaching middle and high school English, practicing as a therapist in community mental health and private practice settings, and serving as a school counselor. She is a counselor who is a Christian, and she honors the spiritual dimension of a person when clients wish to explore that aspect of their life.

Kathleen brings a passionate, hopeful approach to therapy, believing that each person has the capacity to engage in a life that feels fulfilling and exciting. She aims to help clients move forward from paralysis and pain toward healing and renewed purpose.
