Client Reviews

Below are a few reviews from our wonderful clients. We appreciate their kind words and hope they help give you a sense of what it’s like working with us.

I’m so grateful for my time working with Andre at NC Women’s Counseling Center. She has such a calming presence and a genuine heart for this work. Even in some of my hardest moments, I felt safe enough with her to talk about things I’d been holding in for a long time.

Through parts work, Andre helped me understand my perfectionism and work through PTSD, anxiety, depression, and some difficult family dynamics. She helped me get curious about what I was feeling and why, especially in moments when my first instinct was to be hard on myself. Over time, I learned to give myself the same patience, compassion, and love I so easily give to others.

I feel more grounded, more at peace, and more able to trust myself. I’m deeply grateful for the care Andre brought to our work and for how much of that care I’ve learned to show myself.

Thank you Andre! 💖

Working and talking with Lizzie has done absolute wonders for me. She is so insightful, knowledgeable, and such a comforting presence, which allowed me to feel safe opening up. Lizzie really knows how to determine what kind of approaches work for you personally. She helped to direct my mind in positive ways I didn’t know possible! I really looked forward to my sessions with Lizzie Ballantyne! Unfortunately I moved out of state but if i could still work with her I so would!!! Thank you for your talent and care.

Working with André Ligondé has been truly transformative. She is the first therapist who helped me truly understand my inner thoughts and gave me practical, actionable tools to improve my relationships and reduce my anxiety. Her combination of Internal Family Systems (IFS) and specialized knowledge in perimenopause creates a safe, deeply supportive space for navigating both emotional and physical life transitions. I couldn’t recommend her more highly to anyone seeking meaningful clarity and real growth.

Lauren Street was a wonderful therapist to work with.

She created a safe and inviting atmosphere to work through things I haven’t been comfortable sharing in therapy previously.

She often encouraged me to step outside of my own perspective and to reflect on why I held certain notions.

She did this while remaining kind, gentle and open to meeting me where I was at.

I also come from a different cultural background and whenever that came up in our sessions, Lauren always approached it with open ears and sensitivity, which I always appreciated.

I would recommend Lauren to anyone looking for therapy.

The epitome of women centered care. If you’re wondering if this is the practice for you, it is. Lauren has walked alongside me through anxiety, getting married, the subsequent death of my husband, trauma, grief, depression, and a myriad of other difficulties. She gave me a safe space to wade through dark waters and her warm approach always left me feeling better than the start of the session. I don’t know every member of her team, but I know how thoughtful and intentional she is and that would make me feel comfortable with anyone she hired to care for women alongside her. Trusting anyone with your most vulnerable thoughts can feel scary, but you will be safe and cared for here. I couldn’t recommend this place more.

The Women’s Counseling NC team provides amazing customer service with a refreshing level of professionalism. And my personal counselor has exceeded expectation!! I can tell I am working with an expert who has been honing her craft for years + is dedicated to helping me. She is fully present every minute of our sessions and I am so grateful to get to get to work with her!
