Hi, I’m Asha—like Asia, but with a ‘sshhh’ sound.

 

Welcome to our site✨

 

I founded Healthier Place, PLLC in 2016 (though its name was definitely different then—we’ve grown!). HP was born from the understanding of how difficult it can be to identify and connect with support that’s not just helpful or stimulating, but effective. When licensed therapy and behavioral healthcare are executed at their best (that is, with best practice, our highest standard of care, maintained and intentionally facilitated), research has demonstrated their support to usually be effective in bringing clarity and relief—not just for the week or for the season, but across the lifespan.

 

At Healthier Place, delivering support at the best-practice standard of care is our commitment. This is support that actually helps us live healthier—instead of teaching us how to live distressed more comfortably. This is crucial to finally breaking the cycle of daily suffering or “getting by” that could entice us to believe that the best life has to offer us is finding some way to make the pain, fog, or heaviness more bearable (due to our symptoms, traumas, history, and concerns). 

 

I struggled on my own and watched those I love struggle. I paid for coaches, became a doubly certified coach, cycled through therapists, read and google-searched till my head hurt, and became a therapist myself. Now, as a licensed marriage and family therapist, trained clinically, professionally, and through that good old life experience, I serve our greater NC area as a provider. 

 

I connected the dots for myself. I love supporting others in learning to do the same.✨

Aside from general-session work, the practice’s specialized areas of treatment include:

complex post-traumatic stress disorder,

self-care, work-life balance, codependency recovery, and

mood disorder treatment, and co-occurring mood and personality/developmental disorder treatment.
