As a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist, my primary aim is to offer and provide you with the optimal quality of personalized care possible.

It can be scary to be honest with oneself, let alone with others. Yet, most of us still desire to be seen, loved, and accepted. I work with people curious about how their childhood, cultural background(s), identities, and trauma influence how they relate to themselves, family, lovers, friends, and authority figures. My work centers on anti-racism and the lived experiences of folks who are Queer, Transgender, Polyamourous, or Kinky. I enjoy working with people outside of these identities as well. Modalities I utilize are Relationship Analysis, EMDR, Parts Work, Psychodynamic Techniques, and Sex Therapy.

Johnesha “Maggie” Truesdale is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of North Carolina and has been practicing clinical social work since 2018. Maggie earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work at North Carolina Central University, then entered the highly competitive Advanced Standing Program at North Carolina State University where she earned her Master’s degree in Social Work.

I have a passion for helping children, adolescents, and adults achieve their fullest potential in life. My upbeat, empathetic, and compassionate personality helps me to connect with individuals and build strong therapeutic relationships. My clients are everyday people that need help with life’s challenges.

I have been providing individual, couples, and family therapy for over 35 years. Areas of specialty in my clinical practice include couple/family relational issues, anxiety, depression, stress and health, life transitions, and work systems issues. Anxiety may interfere with a person's ability to think clearly at times of stress or crisis and may impede their finding a course of action. Through the initial assessment phase and as therapy progresses, the ability to think more calmly and objectively about a problem can return. A person may then more effectively address the inevitable challenges in relationships and in life.

I believe therapy should be a collaborative effort between client and therapist. While I may share some evidenced-based ideas during our sessions, only you are the expert on what works for you. My sessions will generally follow a cognitive behavioral approach, meaning that we will examine, and possibly shift, your thoughts and perspectives on life situations that are causing you enough distress to want to pursue change. Together we will form a plan of action that is the right fit for you at this point in time.

My experience is that the psychological symptoms we experience in the present are the ways we have tried to protect ourselves from the experience of the early trauma that we went through in childhood, and that by clearing the early trauma, we can release the symptoms in the present. My approach is to help clients identify and resolve the early trauma so they can have a joyous life in the present.

**I currently only can accept private pay (no insurances) and I only offer tele-therapy sessions (not in-person).** It can be difficult to find a good fit with a therapist. But this is most important, since our therapeutic relationship is key to creating the best environment in which you can explore issues and achieve your goals, whatever they may be. I enjoy a relaxed style, and facilitate a warm and safe environment for you to express yourself. I enjoy working with social or generalized anxiety, shyness, self-esteem, grief, family, and relationship issues.
