Markia Hearst recognizes that reaching out for help takes courage and that people often do their best while still feeling pain. That hurt can stem from current circumstances, past experiences, familial discord, or societal nonacceptance, and Markia offers support for those navigating those challenges.
She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with licensure in Hawaii and California and brings seven years of clinical experience working with adults. Practicing from North Carolina, she values the power of human connection and honors the life experience each client brings. Her therapeutic manner is gentle and honest, and she aims to support restoration by providing a safe, peaceful space for healing.
Markia specializes in treating PTSD in adults and has a specialty in sexual abuse and domestic violence. She has a heart for serving urban communities, affirms LGBTQ+ identities, and respects the uniqueness of every person she works with. She provides individual therapy using trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, wellness strategies, and holistic approaches.
Her hope is that individuals will take the next step toward healing and toward greater health and happiness. It would be her honor to accompany clients on that therapeutic journey.
Many people wonder whether online therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional in-person sessions for most cases.
One major benefit is flexibility - clients can connect in the way that fits them best, whether by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This variety of options makes it easier to integrate therapy into a busy life.
Each therapist involved is a licensed professional, and individuals may choose to switch therapists at any time if they want a different therapeutic fit.
