Therapist Near Sherrills Ford, NC

Sherrills Ford and Terrell are growing faster than almost anywhere on Lake Norman — new neighborhoods off NC-150, families drawn by the water and the space, and a stretch of Catawba County that still has far more rooftops than resources. Finding a licensed therapist nearby, let alone one who specializes in trauma, couples work, or recovery from a destructive relationship, has meant long drives or long waitlists.

Stafford & Associates Counseling is a group practice of more than twenty-five licensed clinicians in Mooresville, straight down NC-150 on the other side of the lake. Founded by Dr. Nanci Stafford, the practice provides schema-informed, depth-oriented treatment for trauma and betrayal, narcissistic abuse recovery, anxiety and depression, and couples in crisis or transition.

• Trauma & betrayal recovery — structured, schema-informed treatment for childhood wounds, infidelity, and trauma that has followed you into adulthood.
• Narcissistic abuse recovery — specialized support for leaving or healing from antagonistic, controlling, or emotionally abusive relationships.
• Couples therapy — for partners stuck in the same cycle, rebuilding after betrayal, or deciding what comes next.
• Anxiety & depression — treatment that addresses what drives the symptom, not just the symptom itself.
• Personality disorders — long-term, depth-oriented work grounded in schema therapy and psychodynamic practice.
