Mercedes McLaughlin, CMSW, LCSW
I am passionate about working with all teens through adults struggling with life cycle changes, role obligations, school/work transitions, anxiety, depression, family issues, performance anxiety, communication struggles, emotional regulation, self-esteem, or anger management. If you ever have felt like “adulting” is too much, that life feels unbalanced, or that you are in a perpetual state of exhaustion, we can start by working together to find out what balance looks like for you. I am also a member of, and I am passionate about working with the LGBTQIA+ population and addressing concerns specific to that population.
I am an eclectic therapist and use diverse modalities and holistic wellness some of which include Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, Laughing Yoga, Expressive Arts, and Art Therapy informed.

THERAPY
Amiee Fairchild, LCMHCA
With over 14 years of experience working with children and adolescents in the field of education, I bring a deep understanding of the emotional, developmental, and academic challenges young people face. I use an integrative therapeutic approach that combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Mindfulness-Based Therapy to support clients in developing emotional resilience, healthier thinking patterns, and overall well-being. While I have extensive experience with youth, I work with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, providing a safe, affirming, and inclusive space for healing and personal growth.
I am deeply committed to social justice and strive to create a therapeutic environment that honors the identities and lived experiences of BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ communities. My practice is rooted in cultural humility, and I continually seek to understand and dismantle systems of oppression that impact mental health and well-being.
I hold an undergraduate degree in Biology from the University of Georgia, a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from The University of North Carolina at Pembroke, and a Post-Master’s Degree in School Counseling from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
Outside of my professional life, I’m a parent to three young children. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, being outdoors, and spending time with friends.
THERAPY
Kayla McEvoy, LCSW, RYT-200
I’m looking forward to helping you live a fulfilling life through focusing on your healing and growth. I have a background in trauma focused treatment, and I am passionate about helping adults improve their self-esteem, improve mindfulness and stress management, and developing sustainable tools for managing anxiety. I am also an Army Veteran, with over a decade of experience working directly with Service Members and navigating the unique stressors they encounter. I am proud to have served clients in the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities within my experience as a military provider and help them navigate the systemic issues they can face. I use a variety of modalities and approaches when working with clients, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. Additionally, I am a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT200), and I welcome the opportunity to weave that experience into my clinical practice. When I’m not working with clients or teaching Yoga, I am probably playing with my daughter, learning something new on the guitar or keeping my two German Shorthair Pointers out of trouble.
If you choose to work with me, we will create realistic goals for our time together, and approach them in a way that feels empowering and accessible. I’ll invite you to get curious about yourself by asking meaningful questions and offering helpful insights and pieces of education. I am excited to increase access to care by offering tele-health appointments at this time. Together, we can journey toward achieving peace, clarity and satisfaction in your life.
REIKI MASTER TEACHER, METAPHYSICAL MIDWIFERY, & SPIRITUAL DOULA
Jo’Linn Stutts, RMT
Hello! My name is Jo’lin. I’m a Wilmington native fortunate to be apart of such a supportive,holistic, and mindful community. Shortly after having my first child, I pursued my calling as an intuitive healer by diving head-first into Reiki training.
Motherhood has been a journey of healing, growth, and learning to navigate life intuitively, so I’ve made it my purpose to empower others with the courage to do the same.
My ultimate long-term goal is the serve the community as a home birth midwife, but for now, I specialize in offering psychospiritual support to supplement their healing journey through the use of several intuitive modalities.
