Thank you for showing up for yourself today! I'm Ava Pollack, MA, LCMHC with As You Are Therapy, PLLC. I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor based in Charlotte, North Carolina providing virtual services to North Carolina residents. I have been providing therapy since 2018. I work with clients ages 18+ who struggle with disordered eating, body image concerns, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life stressors. I believe that humans are resilient by nature, and adversity offers the opportunity to build upon that strength. Sometimes we can benefit from processing some of life's challenges and allowing others to help us carry the weight of our experiences. With openness, courage, and support, you can approach difficult emotions and adapt to uncertainty. "Can't" is not the same as "haven't yet." Give yourself credit for how far you have already come! With a warm, direct, and collaborative approach, I would love to walk alongside you on your continued journey toward living authentically and unapologetically. You don't have to do this alone. You deserve to be seen and heard. You are worthy. ✿✿✿ “The best way out is always through.” — Robert Frost
