Welcome to Align Therapeutic
Personalized mental health support in-person or from the comfort of your home.
The care you deserve
Align Therapeutic strives to provide each client with person centered care. Individual needs vary and I make it our priority to collaborate with each client in order to give you the support, attention and care you deserve.
Life can be overwhelming and is a normal occurrence. How we acknowledge, accept, process and heal from our journey is key. When we can align our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual health, we can gain balance, stability and a better quality of life.
Providing a space to be authentically you.
I aspire to provide person centered care and have a strong desire to meet clients where they are. I utilize a variety of methods based on the clients’ issues/concerns and goals. In addition, I understand that each client is unique and I work to identify the therapeutic approach that will provide the best support for each individual. Cognitive behavioral, person centered, and compassion focused therapy are consistent approaches utilized in sessions. I am currently accepting clients ages 12 or older.
Nicole Dilbeck, LCMHCA
Greetings! My name is Nicole Dilbeck and I am the owner of Align Therapeutic. My journey into the counseling profession began after serving as a Middle School Teacher for 4 years. My time in the classroom helped me realize that I wanted to continue providing support to students but in a different capacity. I transitioned from my role as Teacher to School Counselor in 2017. I had privilege to support families and youth in Macon County, NC through public education system for the next 6 years. Since I have expanded my knowledge and experience in both clinical and private practice settings. Throughout my career I have worked diligently in areas of anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, trauma and addiction. I have served a vast range of individuals from children to mature adults and all with individualized needs. Each person is unique and I strive to provide each client with personalized care. Society has often viewed vulnerability as a sign of weakness. I believe that by embracing and sharing our weaknesses we are demonstrating true strength. I am honored to walk beside my clients through some of their most difficult times in life. I respect and understand that the decision to "process and heal" from individual life experiences can be intimidating. I strive to build healthy and encouraging counselor-client relationships that will allow each person to feel safe and supported.
