Welcome!
Thank you for taking the time to explore therapy. Taking this step shows courage and a willingness to invite change into your life — and that’s an important beginning.
​
I’m Adam Artley, LCSW, LCAS — a licensed clinical social worker and licensed clinical addiction specialist serving adults in Western North Carolina and online. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can feel truly heard, understood, and respected. I believe that therapy is most effective when it is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and collaboration, and when we work together to identify your strengths as well as your challenges.
​
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, depression, addiction, life transitions, or the lingering effects of stress, you don’t have to face it alone.
My approach is flexible and tailored to your unique needs — rooted in evidence-based practices, compassionate support, and a deep belief in your capacity for growth. You are the expert of your own story, and I’m here to walk alongside you as you move toward clarity, resilience, and healing.
My Story
Hi — I’m Adam, and I know how overwhelming life can feel when the weight of past experiences, stress, or substance use keeps you from the life you want to live.
Many people tell me they feel stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward in a way that feels meaningful and balanced. I understand that deeply.
​
Throughout my work, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals through some of life’s most challenging moments — including trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, and grief. I really value building a therapeutic relationship based on trust, mutual respect, and a genuine sense of care. In our work together, we’ll focus on strengthening your inner safety, increasing self-awareness, and developing practical tools that help you move confidently toward the life you envision.
​
My therapeutic style draws from a range of approaches — including mindfulness, EMDR, CBT, DBT, and relational work — always guided by what feels most supportive and effective for you. I aim to create a steady, encouraging environment where healing and growth are possible, and where even moments of lightness and hope can emerge.
​
You’ve already taken an important first step by being here. I’d be honored to walk with you on this journey.
