Welcome to Agape Counseling Center in West End, North Carolina.
Agape Counseling Center is a privately owned and independent practice that offers counseling and medication management for issues such as Anxiety, Depression, Mood Disorders, ADHD, and Trauma.
Please continue scrolling to learn more about the services offered here and I look forward to learning more about you!
Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions via phone, text, or email.
Let me introduce myself
I am originally from Virginia and have lived here in the Pinehurst area since 2021 with my husband and children.
I am a proud momma of 4 children-ages 21, 14, 10, and 7. My son serves in the Air Force and I am a huge supporter of our military members. My husband also served in the Army and I have personally seen the realism of PTSD and how it affects individuals and families.
I began my career working as an RN for over 11 years in different medical specialties. I ended up obtaining a Master's degree in Professional Counseling from Liberty University with hopes to learn the dynamics of becoming a counselor and offering more emotional support. These skills have allowed me to be advanced in my field currently of providing medication along with therapy.
I then proceeded on with my education and obtained a Masters of Science in Nursing at Regis College that prepared me for licensure as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.
I am very passionate about my work and am so excited to meet with you!
While I give myself credit for my hard work, I could not have done any of this without God and the support of my family.
Here in the picture is Daisy, and you may find her in the office with me for our meetings. With that being said, if you have an allergy to dogs or prefer that she not be present, please let me know before attending the session.
“I am the daughter of the King who is not moved by the world for my God is with me and goes before me. I do not fear because I am His"- unknown.
"
I realize that no two people are the same and as such, tailor my treatment modality to meet the specific needs of my clients. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or any other issue, I will help you recognize underlying problems, fully realize your strengths, and adjust certain behaviors and thoughts to see things a different, healthier way.
My practice specializes in treating individuals ages as young as age 6.
"For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear, I will help you."

"Company newsletters are essential in building relationships with your employees, customers, or even prospective clients."
in-person and tele
When you come to see me for a visit, I will start with a complete psychiatric evaluation and together we will make a plan.
I love to do therapy with my clients! We can not change our behaviors without first working on our thoughts.
Currently I am working with Tricare both Prime and Select.
Prime does require a pre-authorization to see me to avoid extra costs.
For Select, there is no prior-auth needed.
I also am working with Healthy Blue.
Now accepting patients with BCBS of NC.
I can also help you file a claim for reimbursement.
Sessions are billed at $200 for the hour
$100 for 30 minutes.
Yes!
I see as young as 6 years of age.
For child evaluations, please expect the first session to be competed with just the parent or guardian.
What can i expect?
You can expect a welcoming environment where I will listen to your hurts, concerns, and needs.
I am far from an expert but truly love my work and my desire is to help you the very best I can while showing compassion and without judgement.
First appointments are done on the hour.
All therapy appointments are typically an hour and medication follow-up appointments are 30 mins.
Medication and therapy appointments are an hour in length.
Individual Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to help you recognize negative thoughts that then lead to negative behaviors and emotions. Together, we will work on changing those negative thoughts.
Family Therapy
Family therapy is often needed in situations of divorce or to work on understanding each other in order to better live in harmony with each other.
Note: this is different then couples therapy.
Faith-Based Therapy
This is a faith based practice and therefore any time I can bring the Holy Spirit into sessions with us, I believe deeper healing will be done.
You do not have to be a Christian to come see me.
I will meet you right where you are in your struggle and trust that God alone will help me to provide love and healing. to all.
"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as Christ God forgave you". Ephesians 4:32

Hello friend. I hope you are well.
How are you doing today? Really....how are YOU doing?
Take a moment and breathe.
I want you to focus on the sounds that you are hearing, the way your clothes feel on your skin, and is there a certain smell in the air?
This is called being mindful. Mindfulness connects to the part of our brain that helps us focus and remain attentive.
https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/can-mindfulness-change-your-brain-202105132455
There are so many things that want to pull our thoughts away constantly... our jobs, family matters, health matters, politic issues, the list goes on.
I am not saying you shouldn’t think aobut those things but if we are constantly letting our thoughts wander then that leads to stress and anxiety. When we can take just a few minutes to be in the moment and focus on something to be thankful for- this can be as simple as just being able to have breath in your lungs- then we can change our brain to learn to relax more and can think more clearly.
Try it today, try it now!
Peace to you,
Nicole
