Alan’s (he/him) interest in starting NC Therapy Professionals comes from a desire to create an environment where clinicians want to grow and improve their skills and teach the next generation of therapists what they’ve learned. As Chief Executive Officer, Alan oversees the business operations of NCTP. As a clinician, Alan specializes in helping men recognize, experience, and express a full range of emotions. This work often involves treating trauma, relational attachment, and anger management. Alan also provides Clinical Social Work Licensure Supervision.

Alan has been trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy,  Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy. He believes the relationship between client and therapist is of utmost importance and puts a lot of work into creating a positive environment where clients can experience themselves in a healthier way.

Outside of work, Alan loves playing in the Eno River State Park with his wife and two young daughters. He also loves rock climbing, disc golf, ultimate frisbee, escape rooms, and hanging out with friends
