“I’m a complex situation and Tom identified that and immediately saw my situation needed a specialized care.
I have a lot of respect for anyone who says, “This is out of my scope of care.”
He was kind and attentive and I felt no rejection whatsoever. I felt WITNESSED. Seen.
Thank you, Tom. I look forward to any referrals you may present.”

Getting to know Thomas Adams
NOTE: I am a Therapist, not a Psychiatrist, and I do not dispense medication.
It's difficult, if not impossible, to truly thrive in life when you are suffering. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or feeling abused, neglected, or misunderstood, having a regular time and space to talk about these issues in a safe and confidential setting is essential to working through them.
I hold a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lenoir-Rhyne University, and I have extensive post-graduate training in modern psychoanalysis and psychodynamic therapy, which has equipped me with the skills to support individuals through a variety of mental health challenges. This is not "quick-fix" therapy, but those who commit to this process discover that, over time, their suffering is more manageable than they thought, and that living a more fulfilling life is well within their grasp.
NOTE: I do NOT work with couples.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Having a good connection with your therapist is pretty important. In fact, choosing the right therapist may be the single most important factor in realizing change. When working with me, you can expect that I will genuinely listen to your story and honor your perspective; after all, what you have to say is the priority here. It's critical that I truly understand you, so I may also ask clarifying questions so that we're on the same page, and so that your story is fully heard.
I specialize in helping curious people who want to explore the roots of their suffering and who are ready to talk about them with someone who really gets them. We’ll work together to examine and understand your story so that you can write your own new story moving forward, rather than get bogged down by unresolved issues from your past.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I believe that you have the innate capacity to forge your own path, and that allowing the therapeutic process to unfold naturally and at your direction yields the best and most permanent results.
As such, my role is to facilitate and support you in your journey, enabling a greater sense of independence and self-sufficiency on your part, and providing you with the sense of accomplishment, ownership, and responsibility that comes with all earned rewards.
This process is organic, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach. After all, you are unique and complex, and the therapeutic process will unfold naturally through sharing a sacred space where anything and everything can be discussed and explored.
This is your journey, but I'm here to walk beside you and help you along the way.
