About Our Team

Jake has been walking alongside people through some of life’s hardest moments for over 11 years. If you’ve ever wished that mental health counseling felt less like an appointment and more like a real conversation, you’ll experience that from the first session. He works with children, adolescents, adults, and couples facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and the kind of stress that makes it hard to just get through the day. Drawing from CBT, DBT, EMDR, ACT, neurofeedback, HeartMath® coaching, and Christian-integrated counseling, Jake tailors every approach to the person in front of him — not a textbook. As a licensed counselor in North Carolina and Virginia, Jake serves clients virtually in Florida and is a Qualified Supervisor for counselors pursuing licensure in NC and VA. He is also a Licensed Substance Abuse Treatment Practitioner in Virginia, bringing specialized training to clients navigating substance use alongside mental health challenges. When he’s not in session, you’ll find him playing music, working in his woodworking shop, or spending time with his wife and kids.

Life can be messy — and sometimes the weight of anxiety, depression, or trauma makes it feel like you’re carrying it all alone. Beth understands this struggle, and she’s here to offer the support you need through her therapeutic services. With 9 years of experience across inpatient, outpatient, intensive outpatient, and crisis settings, Beth is one of the licensed counselors who offers a depth of clinical range that’s hard to find in a single therapist. She works with adults navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, stress, and self-esteem — meeting each person where they are and building a path forward that truly fits their life. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Beth specializes in providing mental health counseling to help people process experiences that have left a mark — whether that’s a single event, ongoing stress, or the kind of pain that’s been carried for years. Her approach is warm, grounded, and genuinely collaborative. Therapy with Beth feels less like being analyzed and more like finally being heard.

Some of life’s hardest struggles don’t fit neatly into one category — and Preston understands that better than most. With a background in substance abuse counseling and rehabilitation counseling, he brings a rare combination of clinical range and real-world experience to every session. As a licensed counselor, Preston works with children, adults, and families in North Carolina, helping people navigate substance use, mental health challenges, and the complicated ways the two often intersect. Whether you’re working through addiction, supporting a family member, or dealing with the kind of stress that’s been building for years, Preston meets you without judgment and provides therapeutic services that guide you toward something better. As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate, Preston practices under the clinical supervision of Jake Long, LCMHC, QS — ensuring every client receives care that is both personally attentive and professionally grounded.
