Find a therapist in North Carolina — covered by insurance

I'm Janna Williams, and my path to becoming a therapist is anything but traditional — and I think that's exactly what makes me effective. After 30 years with the State of North Carolina, I retired and did what most people wouldn't: I started over. I became a mobile crisis team responder, showed up for people in their hardest moments, and discovered exactly where I was meant to be. I hold a degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Sociology from UNC Charlotte (Go Niners! 🤘) and earned my Master of Social Work from UNC Pembroke in 2022 (Go Braves! 🏹). My background spans the judicial system, child welfare, substance use, crisis intervention, and suicide prevention — which means I've seen a lot, and very little surprises or intimidates me. I'm here with you at Greater Vision Counseling Services, Southern Pines, and I am genuinely honored to be part of your story.

A little about me: I’ve always been passionate about supporting women through life’s toughest and most transformative moments. Before becoming a PMHNP, I spent years working in healthcare roles that centered on compassion, connection, and advocacy. Those experiences shaped my belief that women deserve a safe space to be heard, validated, and supported without judgment.

I earned my Master of Science in Nursing and specialized training as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, allowing me to blend both medical and therapeutic approaches. Over time, I discovered how powerful it is when women can receive therapy and medication management from the same provider... someone who knows them well and sees the full picture. That’s a core part of what inspired us to create The Circle.

On a personal level, I understand what it feels like to carry a lot, to show up for others while struggling privately, and to wonder if things will ever feel lighter. Those experiences guide my approach every day. I lead with empathy, curiosity, and a genuine desire to understand your story.

You're not broken. You were just never taught how to take up space! I'm Jimiko and I help adults who were emotionally neglected as children stop abandoning themselves in relationships, work, and everyday life. You've spent your whole life showing up for everyone else. You can't say no, always the last priority or you numb with food, shopping, or screens. If any of this sounds familiar you're not weak, and you're not stuck. You're ready, and I can help. "The scars we can't see are the hardest to heal."

Hi, I’m Anahi Muñoz, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to helping you feel grounded, focused, and emotionally balanced. I provide holistic, results-driven care for adults and adolescents navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, burnout, and life transitions.

My approach is compassionate yet practical—I combine the precision of evidence-based psychiatry with the depth of supportive psychotherapy and mindfulness tools to help you not just cope, but truly thrive. Clients often describe our work as calming, clarifying, and life-changing, as we focus on restoring peace of mind, motivation, and self-trust.

Tara has an energetic laugh that puts clients at ease and enjoys playfully incorporating her love of sarcasm (it is her self-proclaimed primary love language) into her work with her clients. She has been known to lovingly call people out on their “bologna” when she sees or hears it and is a great accountability partner. Tara is also incredibly empathetic and provides a warm and safe environment and a quiet listening ear when the situation calls for it. Noticing and reading nonverbal communication and body language is a skill Tara possesses in spades so she often learns a lot even from things that go unsaid. Tara encourages her clients to be genuine and authentic and to use whatever kind of colorful language they choose (as long as it isn’t name calling with your partner next to you)- therapy with Tara is a judgement free zone! She is unapologetically herself and she encourages her clients to do the same.

Tara is passionate about working with couples who are struggling in their marriage or relationship to find peace, to communicate more effectively, to have a more agreeable distribution of responsibilities, to process and work on healing past relationship traumas, to “fight fairly”, and most importantly to learn to have fun together and appreciate one another again. Helping couples to identify their love language and learn how to express love in their partner’s love language is an important part of her work with couples.

Tara also enjoys helping individuals who are struggling how to navigate their current relationship or having a hard time finding the relationship that they want, need and deserve. She assists clients whose worlds have been sent for a loop after experiencing a tough breakup and helps them to pick up the pieces, grieve the loss, and ultimately move forward toward new relationships where they can use what they have learned from the processing of their previous relationships and discussions of what went right and what went wrong.

She aims to help people who feel like they are failing at life and can’t quite seem to “get it together”. This can include the people who are always looking for an “adultier” adult around and those that struggle with procrastination, perfectionism, prioritizing, self-care, comparison to others, work/school/family/life balance, and co-dependency. Through their work together, Tara and her clients work through these issues to find tools and skills to improve the areas a client can change and ultimately work towards self-acceptance on the things that they are unable to change. Acknowledgment of your own self-worth is something that Tara finds incredibly important.

I am passionate about working with individuals and couples striving to improve their lives and relationships! I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in NC with over 8 years of experience working with individuals and couples in community, private practice and corporate healthcare settings. I am level 2 Gottman trained and have training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, CBT, mindfulness, and DBT.
