Clyde, NC Local Support & Community Resources

Katie Neiswonger is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who understands that many people experience feelings of being 'stuck' in life. At times, individuals may grapple with negative emotions that conflict with their values or feel an emptiness that dims their inner flame—the motivation to set and pursue goals, dream, and live with anticipation. Negative life experiences can entrap them in guilt and shame, making it challenging to move forward. Furthermore, symptoms of mental illness can make daily life feel like an overwhelming struggle. Katie believes there is help, hope, and healing available, and she emphasizes that there is much more to life than the current struggles one might face. With years of experience—including teaching middle and high school English, working in community mental health, and serving as a school counselor—Katie is now fulfilling her dream of private practice. She specializes in trauma, depression, and relationship issues, bringing a passion for working with individuals who feel they are not living life to the fullest. Katie is dedicated to guiding her clients towards embracing a life that excites and fulfills them, believing each person has the potential to engage fully in their journey towards healing and joy.

Greta Lutman is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who brings years of experience to her work with adolescents, young adults, adults, families, and parents. She believes in viewing clients as whole individuals rather than focusing solely on diagnoses or symptoms, aiming to help them uncover the roots of their behavioral patterns. Greta recognizes the courage, commitment, and compassion it takes to confront pain and transform one’s relationship with it. By assisting clients in releasing past emotional burdens, she enables them to modify the behaviors that stem from those experiences. Committed to forming strong therapeutic alliances, she knows that this connection is crucial for successful therapeutic outcomes. Greta adeptly employs experiential tools, including guided imagery, metaphor, timelines, empty chair dialogues, and transpersonal methods within a safe therapeutic environment, fostering the understanding that the true healer resides within each individual. With a longstanding passion for exploring non-ordinary states of consciousness, she integrates aspects of wilderness therapy, shamanic journeying, and the emerging field of psychedelic-assisted therapy into her practice. Currently, Greta is pursuing further training in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, enhancing her ability to facilitate profound transformations in her clients' lives.
