Therapist in Statesville, NC

Statesville sits at the crossroads — literally, where I-77 meets I-40, and figuratively, as a county seat balancing deep roots with steady change. Crossroads are also where a lot of people find themselves personally: a marriage at a decision point, anxiety that has outgrown willpower, a childhood that keeps writing the script for adulthood. Iredell County has therapists, but specialized, depth-oriented care — trauma work, personality disorders, structured couples therapy — has been harder to come by.

Stafford & Associates Counseling is a group practice of more than twenty-five licensed clinicians twenty minutes south in Mooresville, founded and directed by Dr. Nanci Stafford. The practice specializes in schema therapy and depth-oriented treatment for trauma and betrayal, narcissistic abuse recovery, anxiety and depression, and couples work.

Counseling Services for Statesville Residents

• 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.

Why Statesville Residents Choose Stafford & Associates

• Twenty to twenty-five minutes down I-77 or US-21 — an easy trip from downtown, Signal Hill, or anywhere along the corridor.
• Specialties rarely available in Iredell County: schema therapy, personality disorders, antagonistic relational stress, and structured couples intensives.
• In-network with most major commercial and Medicaid plans serving Iredell County.
• Telehealth across NC and SC — many Statesville clients alternate office visits with video sessions.
