Chelsy Afzal
As a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate in North Carolina, I am passionate about supporting teens, young adults, and families as they navigate life’s challenges and transitions. My areas of specialty include working with teens and young adults, ADHD, family conflict, and the complexities of parenthood. I understand that opening up and beginning therapy can feel overwhelming, so my priority is to create a safe, nonjudgmental, and supportive environment where you can show up exactly as you are.
My therapeutic style is eclectic, meaning I tailor my approach to each individual or family’s unique needs. I draw from a range of modalities, including play therapy, art therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. This allows us to work together in a way that feels meaningful, empowering, and aligned with your goals.
Before joining Wendie Lubinsky Counseling, I served as a School-Based Mental Health Counselor, working directly with teens to address emotional, academic, and social challenges in the school environment. I also worked as an Intensive In-Home Therapist at a nonprofit organization, providing support to at-risk youth and their families in the community. These experiences have shaped my belief in meeting clients where they are—emotionally, developmentally, and situationally.
In my work, I aim to help clients explore their feelings, build meaningful coping skills, strengthen relationships, and reclaim their sense of self. You don’t have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy; we will work through things together, at your pace. My goal is to walk alongside you as you move toward healing, clarity, and greater confidence in your own voice.
